I have about a half pallet of ezturf sod. Fresh cut today from West Coast turf. Cover about 250 Sqr ft I'm near 56th St and cactus Free

I watched a video showing a guy lapping his rings prior to mounting his scope. Got me to thinking if there are some tricks to the trade out there on scope mounting. I've always mounted my own and I use a level and the rifle is in a vise. I usually have paid most attention to the reticle being level and then the torque to specs with some locktite. Never lapped the rings though. anyone have a good do yourself step by step? Lance? you got some super high end glass, whats your process?

Sweet

Only change I'd suggest is 8's over 10's. For hand held. Better exit pupil. Better stability. Wider view and very little loss in magnification for and hand held or a stalk

I own both. I have here boys. They use the 243 for pig and deer. Up to mules deer doe. For mule deer buck and cow elk. 7mm-08 Eurooptics website selling the tikka older model for very cheap. Great light rifle for a kid. If I had to pick one 7mm-08 has more range. 120 gr to 160 grain Chuckhawks website has a cool recoil table. So you can see what each caliber recoils. 7mm-08 is just a little more recoil than he 243 Have fun

Bump

I have 91 pieces of once and some twice fired brass I neck sized them de primed and polished. Brass is fully prepped. The shoulder would need to be bumped back a bit if you want it to be to SAMMI specs they are fire formed for a vanguard rifle Only selling because I have a new 257wby and want to start with new brass. Might be silly but oh well $60.00

300RUM. Great idea.

Considering my first muzzle brake for a 7mm mag on a rifle my 13 year old will shoot on a cow hunt Is point of impact them same with them on and off? Top thre choices. Or don't do it at all. And just have him shoot my 7mm-08. Thought on the 7mm. Was i would give it to him as his one rifle from the old man. And enough to get him through most situations

I can see glassing up game from distance. Moving to position and putting on ear protection for a shot. But I'm not sure I want to wear ear protection as I walk to and from a location or work a spook and shoot.

Hmm bipod? That's a thought. Ok swivel type worth the money. Harris I assume

Yea i know the 7mm-08 pretty well. My older son took a nice mule a few years back over 200. I've hunted the unit my 13 year old has for elk on my tag and friends tags 3 differnt times and know an area that holds cows when the hunt starts and they get kicked around that will almost certainly be a close shot. I'll need him to practice shooting of sticks mostly. Not likely to be a prone shot. That will be his biggest challenge is shooting well in a sittting or standing on sticks scenario I've only loaded 139 grain in the 7mm-08. I'll have to look into the larger bullets

Ok.glad you two chimed in. So you carry protection on the field. Think I'll pass on is project because the spot we hunt I know will be successful on a slow spot and stalk. With a shot under 100 yards. I'll use my light 7mm-08 with a 2-10x50. Interesting about the muzzle changing impact though. Was always curious. I always read about guys sighting in at range with brake and then taking off for hunt but that's seems problematic .

This is a two year old rifle. Been on two successful Coues hunts. This is the latest vanguard version with improved trigger. And that's a big upgrade. I had the older vanguard before. Worst trigger ever. This is easily adjustable and has no creep and a nice break. Still surprises me. Has a beautiful walnut stock rose cap. Blued barrel not matte which makes for a nice looking rifle that doesn't scratch on each tree branch The recoil lug is bedded from the factory. An improvement they do on sporter model. It's a #2 barrel 24 inch 1:10 twist There are very minor blemish from field. Can't even get them in pics Barrel was broken in with a 30 round process. Cleaned after each round first 18 rounds then after each three to 30 Only shot one factory box. Spire point. The cheap ones $39 a box. Shot MOA I hand load and can give you load for Barnes TTSX that this rifle loves I've taken two coues with this rifle and Barnes. Deadly. 370 yard and 330 I know here are plenty of good coues caliber but I'll put the 257 up against any. Zero at 200 and shoots flat out to 500. You can use holdover easy without a fancy scope. Hits like a truck. But recoil is very shootsble I love this rifle. I'm only selling because I moved to a mark V 257 wby I'll attach a target at 100. Sub MOA. The one round higher and left is oiled barrel. The three group is after fouler oiled shot cooled These rifles are $800 or more retail $500 NO bases or rings Rife and Leupold dovetail rings and bases $550 No sling no box

sold

8's over 10's all day long. Better exit pupil. The extra powers is no advantage in a neck bino. My opinion

Dennis. Just saw your reply. IM in phx. But I have a buyer set to meet Friday. I'll txt you if it falls through

7mm-08. the Bullet your rifle shoots well. If you'll have the youth carry the rifle I think the Tikka is a great light rifle and the 7mm-08 kicks a bit more than a 243 so it's a nice set up with a light rifle and an easy kick. Short barrel swing too 22 inch . Eurooptics has the tikka t3 on sale for a nice price
