I agree with this. I am not a fan of set triggers of any type.

Me too. I mingle among many hunters and target shooters. So, there are two types of rifle users: Those that install scopes by themselves, and those who take it to gunsmith to install. Those who install the scope by themselves, they do not use epoxy or similar type of glue. I am one of them...

I am getting old! I must be more cautious in the future! ;)

Of course, there are. But why do you need better ballistics (potential barrel burners) for what the 30-06 is offering now as it is with modern powders and modern premium bullets, at hunting distances up to 300 meters? Next step, is again vanilla 300 win mag. Bigger hole, heavier bullet...

This is funny! :ROFLMAO:

Ruger no 1? Why not?

This is reasonable. Most likely I would do the same.

What were the reasons stated for this advice?

I never had the luxury of having specific animal shape designed target. I stick to geometry shaped targets, I follow the MOA doctrine, and keep shooting. On occasion, I do have roe deer 1:1 size targets, that were proven OK. If I can keep roe deer vital zone accuracy at various distances, most...

This is the level, when if this happened to me, I would change my country of residence.
