    Most definitive way to determine scope failure

    Just becasue that ammo shoots good out of one rifle doesn't mean it will shoot well in another. I start fresh with every rifle.

    Most definitive way to determine scope failure

    I'd also take that, what you think, defective scope and shoot it on another rifle. Yep, it's a pain in the ass, but that will isolate it even more.

    Lead Sled Issues

    latest update: Since dumping the Lead Sled after it loosened the stock on my Browning BAR Safari in .338 Win Mag, I switched scopes on the gun. Turns out the scope was not the problem. That scope shot 3/4" groups on a different rifle. New scope and still weird huge groups. Like 5" groups. So, a...

    Lever Monday...post em up

    Ive got 3 of them (1 blued ad 2 stainless), and by God those are the 3 rifles I'm taking to Montana for my elk & mule & whitetail deer hunt in Nov. They all shoot MOA, which given the wind out there will be good enough.

    Lever Monday...post em up

    Unfortunately, the kids these days come from very tumultuos homes. Case in point, the kid near Atlanta that just killed 2 teachers and 2 fellow students. The mother was a big time drug addict, and the father, well,..... watch the videos. Sad story. Those are the realities.

    For the life of me, I can never understand why Savage got rid of this line. Why arn't they bringing it out in a whole host of calibers?? Very nice rifle! and in great shape. You are a lucky man.

    I have a buddy that bought one just like yours. The silver medallion too, same caliber. He has a silver Leupold VX3 3.5-10x50 scope for it. Very nice rifle. Have you shot it? I just bought a stainless BLR (New) in .270 Win that is shooting 3/4" groups with Hornady Outfitter ammo ad just a tad...

    Shilen Rifle 7mm rem mag

    If had a custom wood stock it might be quite a bit of money. Have you documented the groups? Do you reload and have found the group it shoots best, or the factory ammo it shoots best? 23 years ago I had a custom rifle built with a Shilen match barrel. Great rifle that I still have. I'd start at...

    Garmin Chronograph?

    I have one, and it is super. Easy to use. Garmin certainly knows electronics. I'll tell ya what, I had to get rid of a Furuno autopilot on my 34' Edgewater 8 years ago and ended up putting a Garmin autopilot on it. The Garmin was way ahead of the Furuno. At slow speeds that Furuno woulod...

    Browning BLR Accuracy??

    The guy in the video has a model 81 (I believe) BLR. I have now 3 BLR's and all 3 are the Pistol Grip model. The front barrel band is like the old time Win '94, and precision was poor. I just bought a stainless in .270 that I have yet to shoot. My one in 7mm RM shoots 13/16" groups. The one in...

    Browning BLR Accuracy??

    I personally think that barrel cleaning and all that break-in process is total bullsht. Machining has improved 1000% in the last 20 years, adn consequently barrel making. These abrrels evemn from the mass producers are so myuch better. There is no break in. Total marketing. When manufacturing...

    Browning BLR Accuracy??

    I have two BLR's. one, I bought new in .300 win mag, and a used one I bought in 7mm Rem Mag in stainless. The 7 mag is right at 1" to 13/16" groups with Federal Premium 160 gr TSXs. The one in .300 likes Federal Premium 180gr Trophy Copper pills. It shoots groups around 1 3/16". And they are...

    San Diego Long Range Fishing Help

    Im pretty sure I'm going to buy an Avet 80 wide 3 speed for working the kite rod with a custom rod I'll have made. Has anybody heard of problems that are cropping up with this reel? My local tackle store has been mentioning problems he has experienced. This reel has been in production a long...

    San Diego Long Range Fishing Help

    Those are all great pics. Make sure when you have the last one printed that you crop out the deckhand. That way you put the focus on your grampy not the deckhand. Also crop out in the 3rd pic the other fisherman. Same reason. Ya got the blue sky in the background (adds to the pic) and also the...

    Elk Caliber and Bullet Choice - 2024

    Went to the long range last Friday to narrow down my rifles. Settled the two that consistently shot the best. Started with 1" groups from both of these. Browning BLR in .300 Win Mag with 180gr Trophy Copper (1st Choice) and a backup rifle that I'll use for mule deer, a Browning BLR in 7mm Rem...
