    Leupold VX2 vs VX5

    If you can't do sunrise or sunset times just go out at night and try them. That should tell you what you want to know. Comparing a vx-2 vs a vx5 is like comparing a Corvette to a Corvair IMHO.

    I have a Rock Chucker "not used" a Redding T-7 turret press and a Dillon 550B. I use the T-7 for all my hunting rifle loads "338,300 mags and 270. The Dillon I use for all pistol and 223, 22-250, 243 plus 45-70 and 45-100 BP loads. The BP loads are weighed by a RCBS electronic scale and dumped...

    7mm08 140BT for elk?

    I shot a cow once with a AR-15 223 loaded with the 69 grain Sierra MK. One round just behind the left ear at about 60 yards. It wasn't a cow elk but a yearly black angus with a busted up shoulder. Most importantly it was at the request of the Rancher for me to shoot it. It dropped instantly DRT...

    In pursuit of my first bull - nothing like I had planned.

    Congrats you did a heck of a good job keeping after it. That alone makes your bull a true trophy.

    Americas top long-range Shooting School

    No, I think we are the only ones that shoot BPCR & BPTR. There seems to be more getting into traditional muzzleloading due to more hunting opportunity. But I don't think many will get into BP just for the fun of it.

    I understand your question Brent, but then again that's what I shoot in the Creedmoor profile in 3 of my Shiloh's.

    What type of hunting knife?

    I bought a Ruana modeled like the 20B but with a 6 inch blade. Bought it while in Jr. High at Snider Drug in Great Falls. Years later I bought my Dad a 20B for Christmas from the same store. If I remember correctly, they cost less than $40.00 each. Mine has a lot of use while Dad's in near new...

    The only Shiloh dealer I know of is Bill Goodman from Bozeman, Mt. his site is shiloh-ballard.com His site explains the process and you can get ahead of others as Bill does orders around 20 at a time so he usually has some spots available that should go into production in the near future. Check...

    1874 sharps

    That#3 looks like what you want. The sights alone are probably over $500.00 in value. The wood looks like an upgrade to semi-fancy and a shotgun butt is good for prone shooting.

    Brent that pistol grip looks great, nice job. I've thought about having Kirk put one on my #3 but so far, it's still in the thinking stage lol.

    1874 sharps

    Hi Bigjay, The different models for the 1874 are the #3 has more drop straight grip. My 45-100 is a #3 standard weight 30 inch octagon barrel. With just barrel sights it weighs just a hair over 10 lbs. I have started using this for the long range matches aka 800, 900 & 1000 yards. I mount my...

    1874 sharps

    You need to put your deposit in at Shiloh for a Mt Rough Rider in 45-70 with a 30 inch heavy half barrel. You can kill an elk at 200 yards "with practice" and with the proper load a 1000 yards target shooting is totally possible. Other calibers are also available but the big cases such 45-90...
