    7mm recoil help

    I think that might be a huge part that folks don't get. If the stock doesn't fit, it is pretty sure to deliver more ouch. I play with custom fit Muzzleloaders, and can load one of my rifles like a cannon and the recoil ain't too bad. But the Pedersoli rifle I have does not fit, and any load...

    7mm recoil help

    I understand that part. But if the recoil pad will get it done, why go to a brake? In this case, if a non-magnum recoil is needed, then maybe just go to 7mm-08 - his shooting neighbors would appreciate it on range days. I just don't quite get my head wrapped around a muzzle brake. May come...

    Correct Way to Sight In?

    I chase the bull. I don't own a lead sled, and don't plan to. I figure that I am a part of the accuracy equation, so should be doing the shooting. I don't really care so much what the rifle does, I want what WE do to be on the target. Of course, that depends heavily on both - until I got my...

    7mm recoil help

    If a pad will do the job, why recommend a brake? Just curious, I've had to pack up and leave the range more than once when someone with a big rifle with a brake sets up at the station next to me. David NM

    In Defense of Mountain House -- a Treatise

    Almost 50 years ago learned that my system could not tolerate Chili Mac. As a boy scout at Philmont, the trade box at the food pickup stations was always full of Chili Mac, a signal that my intestines were not the only set that didn't like the stuff. It only took one serving to learn the next...

    monsoons

    We are expecting some rain tomorrow, which will be par for the course since we are doing a BBQ thing at our local beer co-op. Then, unless the gubmint shuts down and waits to reopen, I will likely be on the road for all be three or four days for the rest of October. David NM

    College Football 🏈 Season is Here !!

    Oh, I think Coach Prime understands humble better than we give him credit for. He is learning what is necessary for next year, and I wouldn't want them on my schedule. Ducks will do the same act this year as in years past, underachieve. David NM

    monsoons

    Gloomy cloudy today (though in Oregon we'd have considered it a glorious day), spits of rain. Am thinking that even without real rain, the clouds help slow evaporation and the plants like it. Cool, humid - temps under 80 the past week. I believe Autumn has arrived, both per the sun and per...

    Anybody else muzzleloader hunting this year

    I'd happily never shoulder another modern rifle, if I could keep shooting my MLs. A traditionalist, I owned a T/C somethingorotherinline for about two days, given to me then given away - went to the "loaner pool", and lives at a buddy's place. It is gratifying to bring home meat with a rifle...

    monsoons

    Unpredicted storms yesterday, a few minutes of that torrential rain/hail thing we get in the mountains, followed by more gentle stuff for about half an hour. Report from my boss that "guided" his wife's bow hunt local to here was that it was no-bueno, elk are scattered and not allowing...

    Buy new stock or leave alone?

    My Ruger 77 in '06 was similar. Free floated the barrel, it is now sub-MOA on a good day (that is all on me). Spent more on gasoline to CO and back (twice) than the job did, but more than worth all the time and the cost. It is nice to know where my rifle shoots, after years of frustration...

    Update, bowed out of my NM 2B ML Deer Hunt - blown shoulder repaired

    Well, sent the email and documentation to DGF to get my tag money back. Wife has had to go into PT for her toe fusion, which was done in February. So there are two deer that get to live another season (presuming we took any). Shoulder is a real mess, so just being careful so it gets fixed in...

    Anybody else muzzleloader hunting this year

    I used to use a loading block and old plastic film cannisters. Later, I just moved to using the loading block and pouring powder from my horn. Found that "speed" loading wasn't much different than what I can do with my everyday setup. The only time I have used a second shot, ever, with my ML...

    My oldest kid lives in HV, wish you could show him those fish to fire him up to go out with me! Hoping for a crabbing day during the Christmas holiday... David NM

    Shooting with iron sights… good resources?

    I think it best to remember you are shooting a rifle, not a shotgun, as far as sighting goes. BrentD describes what is commonly called the "six o'clock hold". I have been brought up shooting for center, so my blade/bead covers the spot I am shooting at . Too old to change, so that is my...

    Old dog ramp or steps?

    Let us know how the Petsafe ramp works. York, if really excited, can still jump up into the back of the Xterra or the Expedition, but usually I have to help him. He has got to where he will allow me to pick him up, for Annette he will put his feet on the bumper so she can lift his back half...

    monsoons

    We were in the mid-40's this morning, cloudless sky. A few passing storms, a bit of rain (of course when I was out in the garden), but tomorrow seems like it will be dry. Is good, just got a canvas spike tent from a friend who had let it get wet yesterday, so I can try and pitch it and get it...

    monsoons

    Like I said earlier, I think we have to meet in Pie Town or someplace once my shoulder is fixed (likely while still off travel after the surgery) and have you regale me with tales of the Gila while having pie and coffee. Or something similar, someplace similar. You start your hunt on my...
