    A Few Helpful Videos

    I ran across a few videos a yesterday dealing with precision rifles that might be of benefit to some. The videos are put out by the NSSF and feature tips from Ryan Cleckner. I searched for the videos as well as Mr. Cleckner's name and didn't get any results so I thought I would share them.

    Scope mounting and leveling:

    Starting at 8:30 Cleckner describes his method of checking for scope leveling.

    Understanding MOA (Minute of Angle):

    Understanding Mils (Milliradians):

    Great video. I picked up a couple of things out of the first one... like that trick he had for checking scope level.

    Thanks.

    No problem and I am glad you found it helpful. I have always had trouble making sure my scopes are level and will definitely add this method to my mounting procedures as another check.

    That's definitely a good looking rifle. If anybody has any more helpful videos like these dealing with matters of the precision rifle maybe we could place them all here in this thread.
