    Member Link Up Utah Hiders?

    Re: Utah Hiders? There is a pretty decent range out of Cedar. Paper to 300, and some assorted steel out to 1000 if someone hasn't shot the chains again. PM me we might be able to set something up.

    Re: Barrel length and twist rate for 22-250 rem My 22-250 has a 25" 8 twist Bartlein on it. I was running 62gr Bergers until I couldn't get them any longer. Now I'm working up a load for the 77gr Berger OTM and the 80 VLD. Just need to see which it does better with. 52's did well in the...

    First Build

    Re: First Build If you're planning to go to a chassis in the future then don't bother doing the magazine system now. The bottom metal will be of no use on the chassis.

    Gunsmithing Sig 226 Grip issue

    Re: Sig 226 Grip issue Both of my sigs have hogue grips. I don't really like the factory ones either. Big improvement. I also see VZ makes grips for the 226 as well. May give them a try. I've liked their stuff on my 1911's.

    .260 rem vs 6.5 x 47 Lapua what do you have?

    Re: .260 rem vs 6.5 x 47 Lapua what do you have? Flip a coin. I have been using the 6.5x47 simply because my 600 yard BR rifle is chambered in it. I already had a combination that seems to do very well with the particular chamber my reamer cuts, already had te dies, and plenty of brass on...

    Re: Cub Scouts - WTF? I know what you're saying about it changing so much. I got my Eagle in '92, and even just a couple years later you could see it going down hill very rapidly. I worked at a camp the summers of 98 and 99 while going to school. The restrictions that were placed on what...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Rings?

    Re: IOR Rings? While I prefer Seekins rings due to them not having a nut sticking out the side like most others, I'm using the IOR rings that came with my 3-18. I can't see a significant reason to change them out at this point. I move this scope around between rifles perodicaly with no...
