    I'm sure there have. Not my cup of tea.

    .350 legend... sell me on it

    There are two reasons to get into the .350 "Legend": 1. You have money and want to try one. 2. You live in a straight wall state and don't like any of the other legal straight wall offerings. There are many better options if you don't fall into one of those two categories. In an AR platform...

    Fluted Barrels / Vertical Stringing

    There's a great article about barrel fluting and barrel harmonics HERE. For me if I had to choose between two QUALITY barrels of equal length and weight, one being fluted and the other not, I'd likely choose the fluted. It's larger outside diameter gives me more stiffness than the non-fluted...

    A good morning on the range.

    I figured it was good practice for my elk hunt in December!

    A good morning on the range.

    I managed to get a day off of work during the week and was excited to go out, confirm zero on my .30-30 and test some TTSX loads in the .308. After checking the weather for the day I was off, I lost my enthusiasm. The temperature dropped from a beautiful 78° the day before to mid-forties, windy...

    One Gun Hunter

    Re-Establishing zero every time you changed to a new load would be the pits. HOWEVER, If one were going to try to do a "Do All" rifle, a .30 caliber might be one of the best options. A 110 grain varmint bullet at 3400~ fps should smack a coyote like a thunderbolt. Then you could move up to a big...

    Fluted Barrels / Vertical Stringing

    There's a good article about vertical stringing: HERE I think the same thing can happen in a non-fluted, heavy barreled, free floated rifle. The fluting process can also cause stress in the barrel which could produce stringing as the barrel warms up. Some barrel companies try to steer people...

    Stock upgrade for Weatherby Vanguard - Hogue or Bell and Carlson?

    This may not be a popular suggestion but have you considered a laminate stock? There are some nice features you can get in a laminated stock these days. They're affordable. They're plenty stiff for shooting off of a bipod. I put one on my friends Ruger M77. I pillar bedded it, which is my...

    2019 Controlled Hunts

    Thank you for your advise! I'm trying to develop some semblance of a plan for finding a cow. Knowing that they're going to be educated from the first hunt is helpful as I'm assuming they'll try to stay closer to sanctuary. I'm also assuming they'll have been herding together and in lower areas...

    2019 Controlled Hunts

    I was drawn for a late season hunt. December 17-19. I've been soaking up as many gutless field dressing videos as I can. I'm going to end up with a new pack and game bags before I go to be better equipped for the hauling. Hopefully you draw soon. I was shocked when I got that email since it was...

    Tripods

    A low priced carbon fiber model I'd recommend would be an Innorel RT-80C. I'm 6'4" and with the legs fully extended it measures 64" to the top of the leveling base. If I put on an Innorel ball head it's at 68". I haven't put it through much abuse so I don't know how it'll hold up long term. But...

    Stock upgrade for Weatherby Vanguard - Hogue or Bell and Carlson?

    My Howa .308 heavy barrel has a Hogue stock on it that came with the rifle when I got it. It's the standard pillar bed stock and not the full length bed stock. It's been fine for use on a bipod but there is a bit of flex to it. If I were looking at a Hogue I'd go with the full length bed it...

    Okie not from Muskogee

    Despite reports to the contrary, they do indeed smoke marijuana in Muskogee.

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    Absolutely nothing wrong with that. And if you're diagnosing a problem with the gun or a certain load a level can help remove one variable.

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    Not my data but I found this on the internet so it must be true. At 300 yards with a .308 running a 168 Gr SMK at 2700 fps: 1° of cant can give 1/2" horizontal error, 5° gives 2-1/2" horizontal error and 1/10" low vertical error, and 10° gives just under 5" horizontal error and almost 1/2" low...

    Grip and Grin Pictures I don't really care for.....

    I don't mind seeing the bow or the gun in a trophy picture if it's placed safely and tastefully. It tells a bit of the story on how the animal was taken. One of my favorite pictures from my last hog hunt my friend took. I'm holding the .30-30 my dad gave me that I took the hog with, the hog is...

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    What does your process look like when getting ready to fire? Do you have to break your cheek weld to check your level?

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    It is behind the turrets.
