300RUM

I have tried a number of things over the years. They have either attracted dirt or caused irritation if they get in the eye. Hopefully I can find something that doesn't do either of those.

I'm not sure I want to know.

is it just me or does that 150 look a little bit like a SMK and VLD had a baby together?

^^^ this right here, I had switched over to Swartz and fixed the problem It's not a glass or mount issue. I have always put the eye cups of binoculars lightly in contact with the area around my eyes. For some reason it's a habit I can't seem to break. After 3 days straight my eyes are sore again. Zeke-Be is on the right track.

I used to try to do that with my lever action 22 when I was a kid. It really hurts when you slam the lever back closed and catch your trigger finger between the lever and the end of the trigger. Guess I was no Chuck Connors.

you should not have Crush marks in the scope tube from the Rings. If this occurs it's an indication that the Rings were not machined to the proper diameter and or the two bores do not align. I would check any ring with alignment gauges before mounting a scope to make sure that does not happen. I've never encountered a set of high-quality rings that were not well aligned I've rarely encountered a set of low-quality rings that were well aligned. With machine work you get what you pay for.

Higher quality material and work precise Machining would be the two main reasons. Place a pair of alignment gauges in a high-end pair of rings that have not been lapped and they will often align. In the cheaper rings they often will not and quite a bit of lapping is required to achieve alignment.

I ran into pretty much the same thing coming out of the heck's Gate Wilderness years back. Which them off the trail and left them high-centered on a boulder

You've only shot one? You're going to have to keep at it to catch up with me.

Game and fish is always spread thin often only one officer per unit. That's not strictly a hunting issue he's willfully obstructing a public right-of-way on public land. That is something the sheriff can handle and there's a lot more Sheriff deputies available. I would call them also.

If you just happened to have enough guys to do it and a good set of tools wouldn't it be fun to disassemble the roadblock and move it out of the way piece by piece? I'm sure the look on that morons face when he came back and saw a pile of parts and a clear road would be priceless. What could you be accused doing that was illegal? You encountered an obstruction placed in a public right of way and carefully disassembled it and set it aside without damaging it. The whole thing was just to heavy to carry in one piece.

You can go lighter but you get to compromise. I've got a 700 that is 7 lb 8 oz field ready. I use an NSX compact 2.5-10x42 that is probably about 8 oz lighter. I also have a 20 in number 1 Barrel. Lightweight was my priority when I built it. At 8 lb 11 oz and shooting groups like pictured above that rifle is one sweet package. And I just got done telling myself I wasn't going to build another rifle......

Congratulations to the young lady. It seems like she will have some competition in a few years. The little one has her eyes on the prize also.

If I'm not mistaken Schneider still supplies barrels to the USMC sniper program. That's not a crowd that's going to be very tolerant of a barrel that does not shoot well.

You're spoiling her. She's going to get used to getting something every time she goes out LOL. Seriously though, congratulations that's a nice buck.

I have one as well and load everything from 9 mm to 300 Ultra on it. It's a very versatile machine. Mine is 30 years old and still going strong .

Hunt's like that have a purpose. They make you truly appreciate the ones when you drop a nice buck opening day.

I like it, it's very unique.

My hunting partner and I used to do a lot of wilderness pack hunts. They are some of our best hunting memories. It sounds like the hunt will be a great memory for you and your son in the future. Congratulations on the buck.

I'll bet that old boy would have sure had some stories to tell

congrats on the buck. I don't hunt till next weekend so I went out for one last long range shooting session. I was laying on my shooting mat around noon thinking how glad I was that I was not packing a deer in that weather. The Mirage was brutal.

I have drilled and re-tapped a few Remingtons from 6-48 to 8-40. The action steel is hard and difficult to tap. I have broke a tap every time. I do use carbon steel taps that are not as strong as other types but are much easier to drill out when they break.

Let me guess, there is a dancer named Bambi.

if you want something brought from another location and delivered to you there's going to be a cost associated with that. It's not something you can avoid in an online ordering situation. A simple package from Midway to you will have to be handled by multiple employees and travel in multiple vehicles along with being handled in multiple sorting hubs. The employees equipment and Facilities to provide the service all come at a cost. I have spent over 30 years working in the Freight industry and on many occasions have delivered shipments where the cost of Transportation exceeded the purchase price of the product.

Brass, in reference to the metal used to produce the case, is a generic term for a family of alloys. An alloy is made of several different ingredients and the ratio may also vary. It is likely that the alloy used by Nosler and Hornady is not exactly the same. The two metals may have different properties. As an example one could be harder than the other. If case volume is similar pressure should be similar but there is a possibility that one may stretch more than the other when subjected to the same pressure.
