Watch that the media length isn't near the caliber being tumbled or sometimes they will get lodged in the neck. When I set my cleaned brass up for trimming I can see down the neck and actually identify case seperation without useing the old paperclip feel test.
Keep your power setting low and you wont have to mess with the paralllax as much. If you learn to hit at multiple distances useing mil dots or TMR you can engage at will, as well as having a wider field of view to address wind.
I carry my rifle without a sling for competition but with one for...
I have to honor my ex-wife and not carry while picking up my son at her home. I have a level II under my steering wheel at 1 oclock for positive retention while not in my immediate control. Otherwise I like the crossdraw option for comfort.
The public believes that it is more important about peoples civil liberties than thier criminal intent.
crap on that!

I can't believe what I'm hearing, there is some overcompesation going on out there. I have lived in northwestern colorado all my life and seen literally hundreds of elk taken. My father (73yrs old) has guided nearly all his life and still shoots a .243 BLR as well as my brother. I have...
I like my vtac sling, its easy enough to quick adjust and carry cross shoulder. 12lb rifle.
short of wearing a hook and loop setup most all slings slip off when used straight up carry.
I enjoyed reading that, like I was there.
When the old man ran sheep he had a band (1,000) and spring was time for digging up dens, he dug far enough when he could tell the bitch wasn't in the hole, he would send me in to pull the pups out. I was about 4
