I want to hand load more than I do. Mostly because I'm not 100% sure of my skills yet. This troubles me, because I started hand loading because I have several rifles where you simply cannot find factory ammo. What I did learn hand loading is I could increase the precision of my rifle. And...

Ah, I shall have to bring my chronometer the next time I go to the range. The box says 2379 fps (weirdly precise) at the muzzle, so somewhere around there. The box also predicted a 5.5 inch drop at 200 yards, and I saw that, so the velocity must be close. I set the scope to hit 2.75 inches...

So, this may be a bit of a gloat, but I don't mean it that way... just a discussion, the type that might be had over a jar at a local pub. I thought of this as I reviewed a post about a year ago on the same subject. At the time, I had just bought a new Merkel K3, and was wondering if I...

OK, I get not really "arctic", but I will ask you to define "Europe". For tweed, as in Scotland, I would say: https://harristweedshop.com/custom-made/mens/. I've been there, they made me some very nice moleskin trousers, and have some other things. On the continent, I agree with loden...

I mean, there is a reason I named my dog "Gunner".

Oh, and we haven't even touched "Kentucky Colonels" yet...

OK, now we're doing VA math...

Yes, this. Also, search for info with reference to Han Dong. Then Michael Ma. Then Paul Chiang. Ask yourself where the intended destination for this stuff...

The only reason the US would even consider going into Canada uninvited would be a preemptive strike on Chinese forces invited and allowed to mass there. And considering how tight he is with China, he probably should have a plan for that.

Thanks. Will check it out. I have a buddy who keeps checking Frankonia (and can mail via APO) but they are never in stock...

I am running the fixed, and have had it since 2017. I have two scopes set to it, and the scopes were always detached as the weapon went into the safe. I switched them out depending on whether I was going on a driven hunt, or if I were going on a Keiler hunt. Truth be told, European safes are...

To be fair, I'd give even money if that high school was playing the New York Jets.

I'm on the fence on this one... and my vote is due in a few weeks. The bubble seems to be floating between the .30-30 and the .44-40. I'm leaning towards the .44, but I can see the argument for all of them. I guess the question is going to boil down to "best", and "best for Idaho". Best I...

I have several scopes with Dentler mounts on my Steyr. The system works.

I know people who have the Vario, and by all accounts, no POI shift. I DO have several scopes mounted to the same basis, and on my Steyr, using either my Swarovski or my Trijicon, there is no shift between the two at all. The only "downsides" I have heard on the Vario is that the original...
