It all depends on what YOU want to do.
You will NOT loose any MV with the short barrel
For SOME, short barrels feel "whippy" or off-balance
If you do a lot of offhand shooting, this may be a "con"
On the "pro" side, short barrels, for the same OD are stiffer, and stiffer is better ALWAYS in...
Spinners can be as challenging as you want, LOL!
For "standard" practice (and that means unknown ranges, unsupported positions), I use:

Without a bench, or any other artificial supports (body...
That's the spirit!
Try with spinners (if your club allows metal in the ranges), targets tossed in the ground present a much larger area than when suspended.
;-)
Keep up the good work!

Trickg;
You COULD also try ADJUSTABLE mounts.
There are all sorts of designs and prices, from the extremely inexpensive SportsMatch / Vector Optics, through the WestHunter's, through the Eratac, and the Ivey would be the top. From $60 to $1,500
Some of them are good, even the inexpensive ones...
I'm going to stray from the norm, and halfway be a heretic here.
Perhaps it is something that comes with age and experience, but I THINK/BELIEVE that putting too much emphasis on the equipment is detrimental to good marksmanship.
I'm the kind of guy that shoots "Production" or "Limited" in all...
Puma knives, as a company, is over 250 years old.
It is probably the cause of the good fame of Solingen Steel worldwide
They are excellent knives, though their styling is different from ours.
The long one seems to be the "Waidmannsheil"...
I posted this:
"Just go to Amazon and search for item # B09NRHF1JS"
NB.- I have NO RELATION to the seller. This is a brand the OP found and I analyzed from the technical POV and he made the effort to buy and relate his experiences. All credit goes to COBRA.
HTH, keep well and shoot straight...
Trying to solve TWO problems at the same time is hard.
Remove the dot.
Sight in with the irons
Then remove the irons, install the dot
Sight in with the dot.
Given that you are not changing the barrel arrangement, it SHOULD shoot close and then minor adjustments can take place.
I THINK that the...
VERY interesting, THANKS!
Just one question: Doesn't it affect eye relief?
And if it does, how do you handle the cheekweld?
You're blazing a trail for others to follow, my friend, THANKS!

It is fairly easy, Cobra.
IF you have Windows 11:
Open a new tab
Open your file explorer
Locate the picture you want to include
Right click on it and then choose "Open with"
Choose "Photos"
A separate window will open to show you the photo in full size.
Now, on the tab you have the forum open...
I am really no expert in the Gew98, and the post WW 1 period is a peculiar period because of the quick German government changes.
I found these two links that will throw some light:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gewehr_98
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vz._24
As you can read there, the...
Not much to add.
The "Lange Vizier" G98's that were used in WWI were, for the most part, reworked by German arsenals to the simpler version, or sold to Turkey, who removed the sights and re-stamped the rifles.
As a shooter, I would say that there was little usefulness in a sight that was made...
That;'s a good start!
USUALLY, IR illuminators have a "focusing" ring somewhere.
And usually, they are shipped out at the widest beam, so, you MAY have that, and you may not. But it is worth looking into it.
Good progress and thanks for the update.

To expando on what Burke already answered, these are the rules for the ammo used in the rifle range:
Ammunition
Frangible, tracer, armor piercing, incendiary and all other ammunition containing steel are prohibited.
All rifle ammunition up to and including .30 caliber is permitted on the...
