    Calibres you'd like to own

    I like both of those cartridges as well. But for me they didn't offer significant gains over what I already have. But since when is that a valid excuse?

    Calibres you'd like to own

    I go back and forth on what I'd like other than what I've already got. The .308 will do anything I need to do but I wouldn't mind building a .338-06. But before that I need a .300 Ham'r barrel for my AR.

    2019 Controlled Hunts

    Thank you sir. I wondered how they decided where you hunt. I've been out hiking as much as I can and getting in lots of range time. I've lost probably 10 pounds since I started getting ready. My last range visit I hit 3 out of 3 at 390 yards on an 8" plate. Those TTSX's hit hard. I plan to get...

    Inexpesive Optics, Worth It? (Video)

    I think some budget optics are better than others. 90% of the game I've taken was using a Primary Arms 4-14x. I've moved it around on a couple of different rifles, it's been carried around, dropped and it holds zero.

    24 Nosler? A 27 Nosler????

    The problem that the 22 Nosler had was the small rim got chewed up even with factory loads. I'm not sure if that's simply due to brass quality or the .378" rim on the fatter bodied case. I hope they've resolved that for the .24 version. You should look into the 6mm Hagar.

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

    Yes a laminate is a little heavier. The two long action stocks from Bell and Carlson show to come in at 2.25 lbs. The lighter offerings from Boyd's are about 2.5 lbs. There are some things you can do to lighten them if you care to mess with it. Otherwise the B&C is the lightest option for the price.

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    There are several ways to attempt to level the action. Some guys do it off the bolt raceways some guys will set a level on top of the scope rail. In any of these things you're relying on the assumption that either the action was mated dead true to the bore of the barrel, or that the scope base...

    240 Gibbs Wildcat

    There's a little more information for you HERE. And there's some information on some of Rocky Gibbs wildcat cartridges on this Wikipedia page HERE.There also an 8mm Gibbs rifle for sale on GunBroker. They're asking $499 for it. I don't know if that reflects the average market price. To the right...

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    You are absolutely right Bc. If you're really looking to get your system dialed in ideally you'd have both scope and rifle level. There's a segment in the video I linked to that addresses scope centerline over rifle action centerline offset. If you're only going to level one thing, the scope...

    2019 Controlled Hunts

    Thank you sir! I think I've got my TTSX load dialed in for the hunt. If I can I'll head out to the range on Friday to get more practice in. It's getting colder now and I'm realizing I may have to make a better cold weather gear plan.

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    If your natural hold works with the gun being level, what I would do is hang a plumb bob at 40-50 yards and with your rifle level, check to see that your vertical crosshair is in perfect parallel with the plumb line. If it's not then rotate your scope until it is and tighten it back up. If...

    .350 legend... sell me on it

    Long Tr'ang. A true legend. He used a Winchester Model 70 in .30-06 with a Unertl 8x scope. When it comes to the .350 Legend, "What would Carlos Hathcock do?"

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    Essentially yes, someone could cant the rifle one way and the scope the other direction and as long as you kept the reticle level to the world as you are shooting you shouldn't see any significant problems from that. The point of the scope level is you keep your reticle level to the world every...

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    All of what I wrote applies to a rifle that is level but a scope that's 3° canted. Say your rifle is level and your scope is canted left, as you adjust your POI up your actually moving the crosshair down and slightly right causing your POI to be high and left. If you adjust your POI left your...

    Accuracy and precision, a silly question that's driving me crazy

    Accuracy and precision are both important. BUT an imprecise gun that shoots accurately can be more lethal than a precision rifle that's not accurate. Example: A gun that shoots 2 MOA but hits the target accurately around the bullseye every time. As opposed to a 1/2 MOA gun that has only been...

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    If you're zero'd at 100 yards and your scope is canted 3° and you adjust your impact up by 3 inches you'll likely only get approximately 2-3/4" of actual vertical adjustment but you'll also start to move your POI to the left or right depending on which direction the scope is canted. If you...

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    After you get your level installed and adjusted I'd go hang a plumb line and confirm your level is dead on. There's a great video on that HERE.
