  • Coats

    Getting the correct size is everything. Measure your chest wearing a light t-shirt. Do not go by your suit coat size!!! The Hardback Coat has an extra piece of heavy cotton down the center back. There is no plastic or "Hard" material in the coat. The Hardback coat will not impede your Sitting or Prone position A Tapered coat is recommended if you measure 4-6 inches smaller in the waist than the chest (ie. 42 chest, 36 waist). No support will be lost with the ventilated models. The only way to clean your coat is with a mild detergent (Woolite) and water. Spray the coat down lightly and scrub it inside and out. Rinse it off lightly and allow to air dry. Do not Dry Clean! Soak in water! Or try any other method of cleaning! You will only damage the coat and have to buy a new one.
  • Mats

    The difference between the Basics (B040) and the Creedmoor (N040) Roll-up mat is the Vinyl Laminate on the bottom of the N040. It makes the mat water resistant and last much longer.
  • Slings

    A 1 1/4" sling must be used in NRA Service Rifle Competition. Any other type of sling will put you into the Match Rifle Category. (You don't want to shoot against Bolt rifles).
    You will need at least a 54" sling for the AR-15 rifle. A 50" will be fine for the M14/M1A and M1 Garand, depending on your height and build. The Hathcock sling (C1060) is identical to the Turner 50" (C1061B) except for the Hathcock emblem stamped into the leather.
  • Spotting Scopes

    The larger objective lens size allows for more light to be gathered, therefore increasing how far and clear you can see. As a rule, the larger the objective lens, the better. If you wear glasses, you will want a eyepiece that has long eye relief to allow ease of use.
  • Scope Stands

    A Zoom head is similar to a camera mount. The mount will screw directly into the bottom of the scope. A Saddle head clamps around the scope. If the scope does not have a thread mount, then this is the only option. A tripod is recommended over a bipod for larger, heavier scopes. Keep in mind your next scope purchase when buying a stand. If you are going to upgrade soon to a larger scope, the tripod is the way to go.
  • Miscellaneous

    The M14/M1A/M1 NM Hooded Rear Sight Aperture (C1113) will fit all three rifles in the title. The .0520 aperture is the most popular. The Receiver Insert (C1055) will fit both the M1A and M1 Garand. The most popular Dewey rod for cleaning the M14/M1A is the C1048-M14 and for the M16/AR-15 is the C1048-M16. You can determine all other lengths needed by measuring the barrel and receiver.
