Lead Sled Issues
I'll pass along a trick I found for hunting and taking a shot at somewhat longer distances. I have a small folding seat from Dunham's, that I strap to my backpack. Doesn't add much weight, but makes it more comfortable for an impromptu sit. If I spot something far off, I set up the seat, and... -

Quietest bow?
That I'm not sure of. I know there aren't any where near as many dealers for them here as compared to Hoyt, Bear, PSE, etc .. Bummer because they do have some interesting features. Built in carry handle. Built in hook to hang the bow on a limb while in the stand. Built in broad head wrench... -

Finished my encore.
Oh, it's a rifle... I was thinking Contender. Was gonna say, 45-70 out of a pistol, your more man than me! Lol Nice looking rifle though!! -

Opions on 300 win mag. Ruger go wild
@RG300 Just WOW!!! Flimsy plastic stock in a Leadsled using factory ammo. The perfect trifecta of inaccuracy. And I'd love to hear why the 300Win Mag is "less accurate" than 6.5 Manbun or 300 PRC. -

Ugly guns
I'm still waiting for a "high end" Savage. Lol I have 2 Savage rifles with low end Vortex optics. Crossfire II actually. They have their flaws. But they do what I want them to do. Namely, shoot game. Do I have "better" scopes? Yes. But I have a problem with replacing something that works. -

Quietest bow?
I know I'm late to the party, but I'll put in my 2¢. While not extremely popular here in the States, a company in Canada makes bows that are really good. APA Archery. I bought one of their Viper Air some years ago. Love the thing! Light weight, short, quiet, and reasonably fast for the 50... -

Athlon riflescopes
I had gotten a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-12 when they first came out. It was the SFP model. And i was pissed!!! For spending almost double of a Crossfire II, I thought the Crossfire II was the better scope. Certainly the optics were no better. A call into Vortex and I got the "did you... -

Who here shoots a peep sight?
I use one on my M1 Carbine. Came attached to the gun when I bought it. Mine has the guard on each side of the front post to protect it. Gotta watch sometimes as if i get in a hurry, I pick up one of the guards, instead of the front sight. Puts my rounds about 6ft left or right. -

.308 win bullet selection for new reloader
I use SSTs for range use. About half the price of Ballistic Tips and they fly about the same. I can consistently get smaller groups with the Ballistic Tips though. Friend hunts with the SST. While they work, they do more damage closer to the entrance than the Ballistic Tip. The Ballistic...- std7mag

270 Weatherby, yea or neigh?
The long headspace is there for a reason. With Roy setting the pressure higher than the other cartridges of the time, he resorted to the old trick of managing the pressure. Increasing freebore. If you look at the SAAMI drawing of the 284 Win, it also has a long freebore. This was because it... -

Ready for a new 7 mag load
Personally, I'd go to a slower burning powder. Since it's not too likely to find Alliant. I'd start with 4831(any flavor), Ramshot Hunter, or Magnum, Norma MRP, or Vihtavouri N550, N 560.- std7mag

Best Holster when Hunting
@RugerHawg413, You didn't mention what type of sidearm you were talking about. For all my semi autos (except for my 1911) I use Urban Carry OWB. I have a Desantis Yaque slide holster for the 1911. I also have a Desantis for my Taurus revolver in 38Spcl. My Ruger Security Six I usually... -

ISO new front leaf springs for 1971 Dodge W200 4x4
So far with my 89' W100 I've put on Rancho shocks all the way around. Just like with my old Toyota Hilux, they made a huge difference! Now if I could find a bed support. Got one rotted out. I can find them all day long for Ford or Chevy. But not the old Dodge.- std7mag

Two rifles, One Caliber?
@popeyoung12, Do yourself a favor and ditch the sled!! It does nothing but induce bad shooting habits! To the OP, I have (2) 25-06 rifles. Both are Rugers. One is a 77 MKII and the other is a #1. I keep the brass/cartridges separate, even though I am shooting the same bullet and powder... -

Reduced recoil bullet selection
My buddy's mom takes 1-3 deer a year with her Win model 70 Featherlight in 243 Win. Her bullet of choice is the 85gr Nosler Ballistic Tip.- std7mag
