The mis-directed fetish of marksmanship.

Posted on October 18, 2012 by Oleg Volk

I am a great fan of armed and trained civilians. But I’d like to point out that the “hundreds of thousands of deer hunters” are no military snipers and do not overmatch regular infantry. A very well trained rifleman with … Continue reading →

Faxon uppers — a better mousetrap.

Posted on October 17, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Amazing rifles shot this Tuesday

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Oleg Volk

223-308-338 — all superbly accurate (we used Black Hills match ammo), all showing mild recoil and very moderate report, with great triggers and ergonomics. Hits on 500 yard steel targets were easy. Good optics obviously helped. More photos by DDB.

Sufficiently large quantity has a quality of its own

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Targets at the Bullpup Shoot were steel clangers. Easy for a .223 with a 4x optic, much harder for a 5.7×28 with a 6MOA CQB red dot. The gentleman with a PS90 had a hard time hitting the targets because … Continue reading →

Rapid fire capable .308

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Straight stock layout? Check. Battlecomp muzzle brake? Check. This RFB didn’t rise at all on firing. The SWFA scope also helped: unusually for a 1-4x, it’s a front focal plane design with a twist: at 1x, it has thick cross-hairs … Continue reading →
