    Resources Mac1 USFT shooting techniques???

    I switched to a shorter, stronger spring that has 1/8" free play about a year ago. I did it to reduce the very loud report I get from my unregulated shooting at about 1300 psi, where I get the best accuracy from my .20 LW barrel. It quieted a bit but is still louder than others' USFTs, and...

    Fastest Pellet Sorter in the Works

    I think the poster was asking about head size measurement and sorting, as the Pelletgage is used for. I would love one of your devices for weighing (if it can reliably differentiate pellets withing 0.1 grain of each other), but weighing is much faster than determining which head size hole a...

    Holy Grail for HFT ?

    How do the ranging of these for HFT (16x) compare to your Sightron SIII 10-50x60?

    N/A Airgun Newb (Sort Of). Lots of Questions-Part2

    Look into the Air Ordnance SMG 22. No longer made but fun. Some come up on Ebay for high prices, but give them a low bid and you might get lucky.

    Skout Airguns Epoch Compact

    I'm the opposite. I like reviews that show the CTCs of five 5-shot groups. Also would love for reviewers to report dB of every gun they shoot so I can get a comparison over time. Lastly, nobody reports on length of pull. So maybe at the end, put a slide that has key information like this on...

    Scope leveler...

    OK. But having the muzzle line up with the scope bell at a fixed distance (in the mirror) doesn't ensure that the erector tube is parallel to the bore, does it? Don't you still need to shoot at 2 (or more) distances to see if there is any x-axis shift with distance? If there is, should you...

    Mythbusting Precision BR

    What are the key variables/ adjustments that good shooters test to "tune" the rifle position on a one piece or two piece rest?

    Scope leveler...

    Your instructions are clear and this will align the reticle with the muzzle. But does this ensure that the scope tube is also aligned with the bore? If the bore is angled slightly differently from the scope tube, won't shots at various distances shift left-right of the vertical reticle? Is...

    hBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) vs fouling

    I hope it works for you. But it didn't for me in my benchrest accuracy quest. I've tried HBN, moly, tungsten, teflon, and graphite. Treated barrels and pellets. Most increased muzzle velocity. None improved accuracy/precision; in fact they mostly worsened groups. And all but graphite...

    Importance of scope zero

    You stated the scope zero very well, i.e., "zero starting at 22 yards" or "scope zero from 22 to 40 yards". Someone who says they zeroed at 40 yards doesn't know if they have zeroed it like your blue line or potentially with a zero holdover from, say, 40 to 53 yards. My Sightron SIII 10-50x60...

    Time to combine Open and Hunter?

    Sorry to be late to the Open v Hunter debate. There may be an easy way to address all the issues: relax Open rules to allow bucket-and-sticks as per the current Hunter rules. Then folks who like Hunter but want no limits on scope magnification can get that in Open class. Yes, some people...
