Re: Rolling blackouts in AZ

LPG is far less dense than gasoline, so by the gallon it gets about 80% less run time on LPG than Gas.

Re: Steyr SSG-69

Thanks for the note.

I like the DST, it works for me. Besides, just the front one does fine too.

Steyr SSG-69

Anyone else on here shoot one of these? Mine is in .308Win 22" barrel.

I wonder what if any pet rounds are good for you. I don't reload so need info on factory stuff.

So far 150gr Federal Power-shok and 168gr GMM pattern well for me.

Re: Looking for bipod recommendations

I have an original Atlas on a Steyr SSG69, and found this copy on eBay: 353016552179 Bipod.jpg I bought one of them for a Ruger Preditor, and it was under $40 shipped and is really hard to see or feel any difference.

You guys aren't getting it.

If it did, the foe would disappear in a puff of smoke.

I tried a test, and put a random member on the list.
