The post whore thread.

I get sympathetic squeeze when my thumb is wrapped. The thumb also helps with fast bolt work, but if bolt speed is your only issue, I think you're doing ok.

Thanks,

This was my theory and I was just looking for confirmation.

While not formally trained beyond my Pa's hunting skills and the U.S. Army Drill Sergeant's skills, I do know the fundamentals and can generally shoot sub MOA with my cheapo Rem 700P LTR, but it only has the factory H&S stock and no pistol grip so the thumb squeeze doesn't seem to factor into my hold as much as it can with pistol. I find I have to use a sling to pull/push and load up the bipod with that setup to get the best groups.

I only use a sling for kneeling and carrying the rifle from here to there.

I signed up for a UT CCW class while I'm out there for work.

Want to be ably to carry if I visit the kiddo's in WA.

Howdy Whores....

Great info, Belly, and great questions/conversation, guys.

That's cool stuff for sure.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Dang it...I thought Utah was on the list of shared states if you had CCW in CO.

Kudos to your wife. Looks like she mastered "Endeavor to Persevere".

Congrats to you both.

Thanks, Lobo, and you guys for the acknowledgement..

Yeah, she's put up with some goofy humor and some other stunts over the years, I get eyerolls and jeers sometimes, but I make her laugh a lot too.

Bummer today....leave work early and drive 40 miles to surgeon appointment.. Guy called in sick today, and nobody bothered to tell me....shit heads. Said they "couldn't reach me".

WTF? They called me on my cell phone the day after surgery to see how stuff was going. Whatever.

So, time away from work, + miles on the car + gas out of pocket, etc... to reschedule.
