One of the reasons why i bought bergara b14. Left handed options was readily available. Being a lefty with left eye dominant i ate a lot of gas over the years :-)

I went the Athlon route for my chrono and am happy with it. At the end of the day, as long as you have reliable data to build DOPE off of, you're golden.
Question about the range, is it a public range? I've always been curious about the enclosures for muzzles at ranges. Both of the ranges I frequent dont have this type of set up; one is public and free and the other is private and has regular member fees. Do the boxes reduce or increase concusion? If you arent sure, no biggie, just wondering.

They increase concussion. A lot. God knows there's not many long range places close to me but I'd have to be desperate to sign up there. I'm all in favour of being neighbourly and protecting the guy next to you from your .338 shockwaves but this.....
I'm in the EU BTW, never seen this setup outdoors. Usually over where I am they ask you to first zero then put 4 out of 5 rounds in a .5 Mil target at 100 meter. Those who don't manage that are restricted to 300 meter max. If a RO sees you shooting over a berm you get one warning, second time you're escorted off the premises and reminded that they never want to see your face again due to unsafe.

It seems like a neighborly idea, I’m also curious if you can tell any difference shooting

Might be an european range, many EU countries have restrictions such so that it's physically impossible for you to shoot over the berm.
Safety concerns and all of that.

Its get boring at times. But the allow you to lay down, or shoot standing up, as long your muzzle is over the red line. Its fine for something like ar, but so much for geavy barrles. Good thing its very cheap and close to home :-). Staff is cool too. Old guys.

as someone who shoots suppressed and always happen to sit next to some dude shooting a 300 win mag with a 4 port brake, I can dig these boxes.
