    for the distance experts among you

    I am lucky. I have a fairly long range setup behind my house. When I was practicing for my antelope hunt this past October. I would take my rifle a couple bullets , binos and rangefinder. Walk the mile from my house to the back fields. Stop at a random spot , range and take a shot at a...

    I don’t think many would. Given the option to use something with more mass. More mass = penetration and energy

    Politics

    My take on the govenor race being a native Virginian, Sears did not campaign hard or aggressivly early on. Really didnt see much of her ads 3-6 months ago. She started running ads about the time of the one debate they had. The counties that voted spamberger in are the typical liberal strong...

    Cape Buffalo Hunt-Bring or Rent a rifle?

    A good 375HH can be had for around $1500. Winchester M70 and interarms come to mind, If you dont mind a remington 700 action you can find those also fairly resonable. A really nice 375 can be had for the $2000-3000 range. There where a few in the classifieds. A Kimber in particular I really...

    Small bell useful in Bear country (MT), what do you think ?

    Not long back from glacier. Bells do nothing. Talking and stay in a group. Carry bear spray. You can also carry a handgun. Just not in buildings , Plenty of bears and people. You stay on trails and with a group you will be fine. Most of the rangers there will tell you bells do nothing

    Are we cleaning our guns to death?

    Some manufactures recommend a break in some do not. How much to clean is a ongoing debate. Some long range shooters swear you need to clean every 30-50 shots aome dont clean until accuracy drops off. I clean when and if accuracy drops or the end of the season before I anticipate a longer...

    Opinions on the 6.5 PRC

    I enjoy my 6.5prc. Driving a 156 Berger at 2950fps at the muzzle. That being said. It doesn’t do any thing a host of other similar calibers will do. Mine is pretty accurate. Do not regret getting it at all.

    Federal's 7mm Back Country - What is your opinion?

    I would consider a 7mm back country. If they prove to be a good shooter and barrel life is 1000 or more rounds. I would have no issue buying a factory rifle screwing a suppressor on it and shooting factory ammo out of it. IF it proved to be an accurate enough round/rifle to make 500-600...

    Sar insurance

    I noticed with global rescue. They cover search and rescue , evac etc if you call them first. But say you are incapacitated and local SAR comes and gets you from a remote mountain. It appears they do not cover that. Is there any insurance that does and what is recommended?

    6.5 PRC for plains game hunts?

    The reason I asked was the 127lrx and 6.5prc is good to 500-600 yards. According to the ballistic charts for what that is worth. I shoot my 6.5prc past 600 also and It does a great job on sttel and paper targets. If i wanted to go farther on game or shoot consistently at 500yards I would step...

    6.5 PRC for plains game hunts?

    I don’t see why you would have an issue. I have a 6.5prc and it does well with a 127 lrx. Personally I would take a 30cal. But the 6.5 with the 127lrx and properly place shots will do just fine How far do you anticipate shooting ?

    Christensen arms ridgeline

    I believe this was shot at 600 yards, prone on a bipod. The other target is 100yds bench. Shooting a 210g berger VLDH at 2950fps mv , I also have a load with a 180g barnes ttsx thats just as accurate if not more so. That load is also about 3000 fps. Sorry I had a computer failure and lost...

    Shooting vs Hunting / A Growing Ethical Issue

    Like many here , I don’t care for the uber long range hunting that is being popularized now. The improvement to scopes , rifles and exposure on media has obviously fueled the trend. They even have guys going after turkeys with 410 and TSS shells at unheard of ranges. Unfortunately I do not...
