Action Leveling
I think this is functionally true more than it is conceptually true. If your scope is mounted to offset to your barrel, but you hit where you’re aiming, then the barrel and scope were angled toward each other, and bullet trajectory intersected the line of sight at the zeroed range. In real life... -
Action Leveling
If you have a scope level, and it reads level on every shot, then your cant was the same. -
2025 NM draw results
You paid your taxes there for many years, so I don’t see why it would be unethical as long as the law says you’re a resident. If NMGF requires that you are still as resident at the time of the hunt, then it would be unethical. Why could you not apply as a non-resident? You just check the box...- ImBillT

2025 NM draw results
I hope you both draw it! I’ve hunted all three of my deer choices, and I sort of regret my 2nd and 3rd choices. I’m not sure I actually want to hunt either of those choices this fall.- ImBillT

Primal Rights CPS primer seater
My gosh that guy handled this thread poorly! I appreciated his offer to buy it back and pay the OP for his trouble, but the hatred of someone having a problem and posting a thread was crazy! I shouldn’t be surprised that he never made good on his promise. He seemed like a real jerk in the post...- ImBillT

Primal Rights CPS primer seater
If you uniform your primer pockets(OP says he does) then I don’t understand how hand priming can be inferior to anything else. My cheap RCBS with a tray makes it pretty darn quick. That said, I can’t say that I’ve ever tested it. I would be interested see some well done direct comparisons of...- ImBillT

NM Unit Wide Tag - Landowner liability?
A lot of states in the US have laws automatically eliminating liability for land owners if the hunters didn’t pay or trade something for the privilege. I believe I heard this in the Meateater podcast, so don’t hold me to it.- ImBillT

Building your own stock
I would love a few stocks worth of wood, but I feel like shipping wouldn’t be cheap. The benchrest stock that I made was usable, but not what I had imagined when I started. I would need more experience and equipment to do it perfectly. -
NM Unit Wide Tag - Landowner liability?
That’s a good question, and I don’t know the answer, but I would assume that what you mean by “does the state offer any legal protections against claims” is important. I doubt that the state is going to pay your legal fees or hire you a lawyer, although maybe they will. I do suspect however that...- ImBillT

Scope looks canted
That assumes that you have a scope with better than average internals. When you dial a scope, you push a tube up/down, or left/right with one adjuster, but that tube is in contact with another adjuster. Tubes are round. When you push the tube left or right with the windage adjustment, it can... -
Day Trespass fees for turkeys and deer
I have lost access to outfitters. I expect to lose more. I’ve been told “no” in a face to face exchange with the actual land owner only once. I’ve been told “yes” over the phone, only once. If calling is your only option, then expect 1/10 at best. Face to face is more time consuming, but it...- ImBillT

Comment here on eradication of NEPA
As far as I can tell, NEPA is currently 10X the hassle that it was originally. That suggests a problem in my mind. The solution? I don’t know. I’m sure that’s above my pay grade. Currently, I don’t think it’s doing what it should be doing.- ImBillT

AZ is starting to hit cards for the draw.
Not many people claiming tags. Does that mean there’s more to come?- ImBillT

I thought this was a joke....seriously
700 based action. Good AICS pattern mags. Good I prefer a rounded fore end on a hunting stock because a flat fore end is much more difficult for me to get level when resting on an unlevel surface or when using shooting sticks. I’m sure the stock is great off a front rest or using a bipod...
