    Yep....again....

    Taylor will be using this for NM pronghorn this year.
  2. Only Vortex Precision Matched Rings are made by Seekins.
  3. Every rifle I own has a Seekins alloy 20MOA Picatinny rail (except the actions w. Integrated bases) and Seekins alloy rings. And they all hold high end scopes. If they didn't work, I would not keep using them.

    I dropped all the stuff off yesterday. Should have the bolt back from LRI tomorrow, still have to get the handle skeltonize, because LRI said they couldn't do the PTG handle. Todd South at Southern Precision is going to hook me up with that work. Todd will perform this workon the bolt handle. Another one of his.

    The rifle is an amazing shooter.

    22 Non- Residents had 15+ BPs

    Mine too, buddy, mine too. When I hear people complaining about waiting 10-15 years for a pronghorn tag, I want to wring their necks.

    For elk or antelope? Because I had 25 resident BPs and no goat tag.....

    7mm rebarrel

    I have only been reloading for 25 years. If you reload a belted magnum correctly, they are no more difficult than a non-belted cartridge. I have loaded thousands of rounds of belted magnums. .257 Weatherby, .264WM, 7RM, 7 Weatherby, 7STW, .300WM, .300 Weatherby, .30-378Weatherby, .338WM. Never had an issue yet. My personal 7RM has up to 10 firings on some if the brass as well. I also don't like the 6.5CM shooting elk at 1000 yards. So my opinion might not be popular with some people.

    7mm rebarrel

    7RM with 180s will kill anything you want within 98% of hunting scenarios. The 28 Nosler is an awesome cartridge. Expensive brass however,and takes a lot of powder to run them. But you gain about 250fps over the 7RM. 7STW is a great round. Brass can be really hard to find at times. 7-300WM is a great way to go too. Brass can be made from any .300WM case. They are everywhere. But you will never have properly headstamped brass if that matters to you. If you eve go out of country, that will matter. 195 Bergers are great projectiles. They WERE hard to find when Berger moved from CA to AZ. But not so much anymore. But like any high demand item, they can be out of stock at times. The powders that perform best in 28 Nosler are what is hard to find right now. RL33, RL26, NV570, NV565.

    Yep....again....

    It was a legitimate .2MOA rifle. Lately, the past 100-2]] rounds, it has opened up to .4-.5MOA. Also has lost about 50fps. Tried everything to bring them back in. Stripped the barrel, adjusted charge weights and seating depth that has been good for 2000 rounds. I figured the barrel is going south now. So decided to go ahead and rebuild it. It has been a great round, and now will get carried more than the 15# one that was a bear to pack around. Barrels are disposable.

    Bolt issues

    Take a look at the heads of the fired brass anyway. If you have an ejector mark on 2 out of 6, it is a very high probability that those are your two overpressure rounds. Looks something like this.

    Bolt issues

    Factory ammo is not known for consistency. Lot to lot changes of powder can have big shifts in pressure and velocity, and even accuracy. I would bet that is some of the culprit. Even lot to lot changes of bullets can alter jump or CBTO. I have seen factory ammo go from 2950 to 3075 from box to box of the same stuff. Heck, I have seen a single box range 100fps from round to round. I bet if you have chrono data from before, and chrono the new stuff, you might see a big difference. Just because it is factory ammo does not mean it can't be overpressure in your rifle. I have seen some dangerously high pressures in some factory ammo. Even good factory loads will vary some. Cheap ammo might shoot good at 100 yards, but a 100+fps swing can cause a mess (or miss) at 500+. Learn to reload. Get consistent rounds and I would almost guarantee your groups at distance shrink drastically too. Plus, you get to tailor your rounds to your likes and conditions.

    Just in time for the draw ....WINNER POSTED

    This rifle is a very lightweight mountain hunting machine. I had several .3" or better groups with this rifle. This was during new scope sight in. 3 shots. Not bad for pulling the bolt and bore sighting down that barrel. 8lbs 4oz scoped.

    I am not big on my t-shirts being camo in most circumstances. But how about long sleeve t-shirts in colors like sage green, OD green, tan, khaki, brown, loden, charcoal, black?

    Half ton to diesel and Ford vs Chevy

    Could be caster. But if you lift a vehicle, even a levelling kit, you are changing the design specs and all of the alignment in it. Meaning....you need a realignment, and possibly control arm adjustments to bring the front axle back into acceptable tolerances. Once you go aftermarket parts, you have to accept certain parts are now out of warranty if the parts you replaced affect them. Which a lift does. "Budget boost" is not the best way to go in a vehicle under warranty unless you accept the consequences of altering the stock form. I drove a Jeep for years. Went from stock & 31s, to a 3" lift and 32s, to a 4" lift and 35s, to a 6" lift and 37s, back to a 3" with stretched WB/cut fenders and 39s, etc. Each time required tweeks to the alignment.

    Half ton to diesel and Ford vs Chevy

    I have had my 2007 F250 Crew Cab Super Duty diesel 4x4 more places than most Jeep Rubicons will ever go. Air down the tires to 20# and the ride is fine for a 10 day elk hunt. Carry an air compressor. As for "Death Wobble", a steering stabilizer just masks a problem, doesn't cure anything. Ball joints are usually the cause. Trust me, I know. I have mine replaced about every 50k. The 6" lift and 37s take their toll over time. Pay to play.

    Yeah, I noticed the links too. And the screwed up lack of proper sentence structure. Spam. The one that concerns me is the "xhamster".....
