    Rifle Scopes Scope power ???

    Re: Scope power ??? Me personally...the highest low-end I would want for stand hunting in timber would be 4x, which leaves you in the 4x-16x range for most variable scopes, except for a few models.

    Snowing here!

    Re: Snowing here! I'd love to have that here. I absolutely hate the heat of summer, but I can live with the snow and the cold of winter. I told the wife we're moving north when I retire...she is not amused. She has insisted on a southern winter home!

    Airport gun magazines

    Re: Airport gun magazines We get students every year selling magazines for school fundraisers. There's a lot of questionable magazines available, but not gun mags. I'd love to help them, but I'm not buying something I have no interest in.

    Rifle Scopes Scope power ???

    Re: Scope power ??? 800 yard deer hunting? If all youre going to be doing is long range hunting, I'd go with the most quality magnification you can afford. Most top ends are in the 24x-32x range. The problem for most hunters is, the bottom end of these scopes is usually 6x-8x, which is too...

    Hunting & Fishing God looks after fools

    Re: God looks after fools Glad you're ok. Safety equipment was developed for a reason, but unfortunately there are still those who chose to not use it, and we read about them every year. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!!!

    Big Company Rant

    Re: Big Company Rant It's more than just WM. My wife used to work for a law firm, primarily in workman's comp. law. I was amazed to hear stories of how the insurance companies would tell the law firm how much they were going to pay for billable services. That would never fly for those of...

    Gunsmithing Re barreling with a Schneider

    Re: Re barreling with a Schneider I think you're really going to like that Schneider. I have the 5P barrel. That thing shoots lights out and it cleans up ever so easy. Like a mirror finish inside. I can't say enough good about it.

    Hunting & Fishing Damn Hogs

    Re: Damn Hogs Got a lot of them in the ozarks, here in MO too. No season, no tags, just free game! Talking with the guys from down south, I hear its easy to see where they've been but hard finding them.

    Gunsmithing Re barreling with a Schneider

    Re: Re barreling with a Schneider If you were just going back with a take-off barrel or a new factory barrel, I'd say just fit it and go. But you've spent good money on a quality custom barrel. It would be a shame not to go ahead and blue print the action while you're at it.

    My 700 LTR wouldn't shoot but now its "deadly"

    Re: My 700 LTR wouldn't shoot but now its "deadly" Wow, 4moa? Not acceptable...especially for a "precision rifle". My experience with the one LTR I've shot was that it was an extremely accurate rifle, routinely turning in 1/2moa. Glad you got it dialed in, but too bad you had to go the...

    Good, cheap, sunglasses?

    Re: Good, cheap, sunglasses? I've been buying Berkley or FLW fishing sunglasses from WM the last few times. Stylish glasses, with polarized lenses, and prices range from $10-$20. They even have some that have little magnifiers at the bottom of the lenses for older eyes or tiny tasks. I...

    Gunsmithing Action difference in remington 710 vs. 700

    Re: Action difference in remington 710 vs. 700 Like stated before, the 710 had a pressed in barrel. The receiver was simply a hollow round tube, with a nylon insert in the receiver that formed the races for the bolt to ride on. It was a cheap design for a cheap rifle to get more people into...

    Msa/Sordin & Peltor so many choices??

    Re: Msa/Sordin & Peltor so many choices?? I've got a pair of the Peltor Tac-6's, from back when they were $160, and they're ok. Now they can be had for around $50-$60 if you shop around. Our entry guys were wearing them under their kevlars, but have recently switched to the Howard Leights...

    Aerosol Paints for Stock Cam

    Re: Aerosol Paints for Stock Cam I've tried the H-S brand of camo spray paint intended for waterfowl blinds/boats, and it is not nearly as durable as the Krylon. Flatter, but not as tough. I don't recommend it.
