Yeah, I could never come by in person. That would cost me dearly…. I have started limiting my gun shop visits as well. Last two visits led to two 35whelens, then I needed more bullets….you have stocked me up very well with oryx bullets…

Follow up on load info. Norma brass, CCI #200 primers, Varget 56.0, 250 Norma oryx. Last 3 I shot to confirm load were 0.675”. It was a nice little triangle. Loaded to fit magazine. Not sure how far off the lands it was. Avg 2466fps. The only load that was over 2” was the 225 ballistic...

Funny enough I was watching the auction to see what it would bring. Mine likes the 250 grain Norma oryx. Mainly because it was available right now. A trigger job will more than likely be necessary, or get a timney, you just have to watch fitting the safety stuff . I can try to look up the...

I really like the laminated stock. Good upgrade and it protects original stock from battle scars….

There are a lot of options right available on gunbroker alone, much less the other sources. I recently watched a tikka t3 that ended yesterday. I really wanted it, but other stuff is more important right now. I have a Ruger in 9.3x62, and it is my favorite gun. It shoots very well with...

They also make a vx5HD 2-10, one that comes with CDS z-lock and a cheaper model that has regular turret, which is cheaper. Same lenses as the vx6hd, which are better lenses than the older regular vx6 had

They still make a vx6hd in 2-12.

Check with your homeowner insurance. Usually they have a rider to add extra stuff and you determine what amount you want covered etc. mine was for a certain amount of firearms & jewelry

Be careful loading light with h4895 in straight wall cartridges. I tried it with my 9.3x74r, light 232 bullets and the minimum charge from a 250 grain bullet I had found. I would get hang-fires. Too much case capacity, and it wasn’t filling case enough in front of primer. I suspect it...

Brought this one back last year. It’s pretty good

I picked up some Cotswolds whiskey last April. We were stuck in a town called Burton in the water when the rental broke down for a few hours. What a great place it was. I should have bought a much bigger bottle

I flown to SA the last two years, I used filson bags first year no problems. The handles do snap together and take off the single shoulder strap which takes two seconds. Watching this closely as I planned on taking a duffle stuffed in backpack as carry-on, then sticking a blue wildebeest hide...

Dang, that is one awesome piece.

I have replaced all of my scopes to leupold CDS z-lock models of some sort. My favorite is the vx6hd 2-12. Perfect size and magnification to do almost anything. I have a 2-10 vx5 in my 9.3x62 and love it. My 300win mag has a 3-18 thou, and have shot deer out to 560yds with it. Low light...

It’s the lipsey model that just came out. I think I read somewhere it was a 12 twist? I did find a box of 280 aframes, and they did shoot accurately, but I don’t need to use those for anything here. I am going to try the cfe223 powder with 225 ballistic tips I have. See what it does. I...
