But really where they thinking

Hey he saved himself some money instead of buying those rip off mounts at the gun shop

The scope is the best part of that rig and all the rudeger boys throw their toys out of the box

What do you define as long range?

Long range means different things to different people.
For hunters long range might be 500-600 metres.
For target shooters long range generally means 800-1000 yards
For others 1000-1500 yards, for extremists 1 mile plus.

I'm a target shooter, my best two long range rifles are the Barnard Twins.

Built around a Barnard P Action 308, 32" True-Flite 1:10 barrel, custom stock, 17 MOA rail, Nightforce Scope.
One rifle is a year older than the other. Can you tell which is newer?

same calibre? nice stocks.

with a sticker still on the scope of the rear rifle i'd guess that one is newer?

Identical specification for both rifles, chambered by same gunsmith in 308.
Same handload used in each rifle (Lapua Palma Case, 155gr Lapua Scenar projectile 44.5 gr 2208, Federal SRP).
The reason is that if one rifle has a malfunction during a competition the other rifle can simply be picked up, dialed in and shot.
The shooter determines the result not the rifle.

500 yards 60.3 score

Tikka T3 action, trueflite barrel chambered in. 284.

Question
Seen a few rifles with the stick on drop chart
Right handed rifle, always on the right hand facing away from you gun in right hand etc
Why that? More sense to me in the left side so you can see it?

Nice rifle btw
