Sight In Question - Help Needed
lancetkenyon replied to broadhead's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Inconsistent cheek weld, recoil management, and body position will absolutely cause L-R errors. Get a cheek pad and get consistent. I ALWAYS zero my hunting rifles 3/8" left and 0 elevation @ 200 yards to allow for spin drift at distance in the position I will be shooting from. If shooting long range, that is 90% of the time prone. Shooting from a bench afterwards will always produce shots that are about 1" right for me. Shooting from a sitting position will cut that error in half. I take that into consideration when hunting. With allowing for 3/8" left @ 200, it keeps spin drift to within 1" +/- @ 700-750 yards or so. -
Tons of turkeys in 7. I saw the biggest flock I have ever seen in 7W last year. No joke, I would say 90-100 birds. I see turkeys in the same spots, year after year after year. All over both 7W and 7E. Look for green grass and grasshoppers near tanks.

I have a Badger Thruster that I took off my 6.5SLR when I rebarreled it. It is tapered down to about .820" right now. Can have the base tapered down to your contour. It is Cerakoted Coyote Tan now. Needs the carbon cleaned out some. $50 and comes with a shot out 28" Bartlein 1:8" Sendero 6.5mm barrel.

So....WHERE did he hunt this buck and take videos of it? Because we all know it was killed in 21...or 22, or 23? Migration happens you know.

That photo of the dog up in the tree with the cat above him is awesome. Great looking dogs. Walkers?

You can use my pro rewards number too. Text me after 7:00am tomorrow. I think I have a $20 off $150+ coupon on my desk at me office.

You shot 200 rounds in 5 days of range time? That is 40 rounds/day. While not extreme, still a lot. I have heard of mixed issues with the Kimber Mtn. Ascent. But not 4MOA...in two different rifles. I would recheck your mounts/scopes. Just weird you are seeing it in both. To me, an ultralight rifle is much harder to shoot well than even an 8lb all in rifle. Not that it can't be done, but you better have darn near perfect form, consistency, and recoil management, Personally, I would not own a 6# all in rifle unless shots would be under 300-400 max. My personal "light mountain rifle" still weighs 8.5lbs. A custom .280AI. I have shot it very well out to 1250+, and shot out to 1500+ just to check.

Off the market.

Just got back from northern CA. Saw a big herd of Tule elk, and 7 big bulls were all still sporting horns.

My daughter had pet rats for 4 years. We are getting rid of the cage they resided in. We paid $350 for it. Could use a new bottom tray. Other than that, thing is in great shape. 4 story condo w. ADA ramps. $ is a 12 pack of Redbull

After 4 years....I think they died of old age.....but they were pretty tough and stringy even after slow cooking them for 4 hours.

Posting for a buddy. I have no 1st hand knowledge of this rifle other than I have seen some of the elk it has killed. This is an original Sendero, not the SFII. Back in the good ol' days. This is a .300 Remington ultra mag Sendero. I had a Timney trigger installed, and it is set at about 2.5lbs. There is a muzzle brake, and picatinny rail mount for a tripod. The DNZ scope mount is a single piece with caps and is 1". The rifle shoots like a dream. I do have a good load for the rifle. I am asking $1,000 for the gun, and would consider a trade on a .308 or 7mm 08. PM me.for contact info.

Goes both ways. On numerous occasions, I get the "I'll take it", even on free stuff, and then they never show up, communicate, or end up picking it up, so back on the market it goes. Or wants ME to deliver something free to them 50 miles away. Or takes weeks to come and get it, then get pissed when it is gone when they finally contact me again. If I want it gone, I don't want to sit on it for another 2 months just for the first person who says, "I'll take it".

If it is more for dove and quail, Taylor shoots a 20ga. CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U. And I have shot it a ton too. Light, fast, 26" barrels, good Briley chokes available. Not sure how "3" mag friendly" it would be though. I know my Win 101 O/U is BRUTAL shooting 3" 12ga duck/goose loads.....never again. The 1100 gets the nod for waterfowl now.

I have tried various NABLRs in 20+ extremely accurate custom rifles. Never had a single one that I find acceptable to my standards. MOA? Yeah. But not much better. I wish they shot well. 6.5mm 129 & 142 .277 150 7mm 168 & 175 .308 210 (and MAYBE the 190s?) All of my dwindling stock is now used solely for fire forming brass. -
Great scope and better price.

Get a couple cracked windshields for free and bust them up.
