Title: Re: Need a Bipod for 30-40 Krag - Not sporterized Post by Chris Jackson on May 26th, 2012 at 8:34am
I shoot only in the California desert and the terrain really varies in terms of up slope/down slope..left and right slope angles. The area is very volcanic. Many ridges, ravines, hills and valleys. Really want something fairly light to lug around. Really love the idea of cross sticks...keeping it simple, but effective without having to mount anything to the gun. Want to shoot 250 yards plus with the iron sites at clay pigeons. Would really appreciate a good source on dialing in the adjustable main site. Would love to nail a clay at 500+ yards. Got really bored shooting shotguns and rifles with scopes. Want to go sniper...far as possible with iron site only. I get wobbly on far shots with my elbow resting on my knee. My 50 year old eyes get mighty weary focusing. I'm 99% positive it's me not being steady rather than the load or the inaccuracy of the riffling. Really, really love shooting this gun. Most fun I've had in years. Honestly one of the few things I really look forward to doing with my sons. We set some clays out at about 150 yards on a sloping ravine. First shot of the gun in 75 plus years..nailed the clay on my first shot. Now my favorite gun! Ordered 200 rounds of brass and a mold. Can't wait to go for 500 yards with iron sites and a spotting scope. Thanks so much! Just didn't think of cross sticks. Really love the thought of such a simple old school idea. Ashamed it never crossed my mind. Got too caught up in my generation of shooting longer distances with a bipod.
