I’ve been in 11 ft sea’s in a 23’ boat……screw that.

11' can mean a lot of different things. 35' seas is fishable if your mindful as long as the period is long enough. Otherwise 15' can kick you ass in a 130' when their steep. I have a 23' play boat and generally the rule is the beam in feet and seconds is ok. So in my instance ant larger then 9' and shorter then 9sec is a no go.

Yeah, these were pretty close together. That was Salmon fishing out of bodega bay.

Exactly.
It's the interval between waves more than it is the wave height.
I have been in 30 foot swells in a little 16 foot boat and had zero problems (although it is freaky as hell looking straight up at water).
If the interval is less than 7-8 seconds, it gets nasty.

I've seen this picture 100 times and always assumed it was an AI. Certainly an AI bolt handle and magnum muzzle break.

I clamped my scope mount on 15 years ago and never removed it, but I think the recess holes are for the old school factory AI scope mount. This was right around the time they introduced, and ultimately switched to, the picatinny rail on the action.

ETA: The more I think about it, I'm thinking of the Blaser LRS mount. It clamps into four little recessed tabs in the barrel. My AWSM is definitely pre-picatinny, but you're right. I don't think it has those holes. I'll have to dig it out later.

Pretty sure the cause was a plugged barrel. But owning a .338LM fluted barrel, and AI discontinuing the fluted barrels for an undisclosed reason, makes me a little nervous.

Did Subic to HK on a seagoing tug in Jan, 22 foot seas on the starboard quarter for days.

Not sure of the actual sea state but when my SSN got run out of Hong Kong by a typhoon we were navigating on the surface rigged for dive and getting 80 ft depth transits in control. Ops upper level head was a vomitorium. The everyone in maneuvering was puking in garbage bags. The RO started that party, his bag was clear. Subs roll like a turd. It was the longest maneuvering watch I ever endured. (Spent most of it on the floor in nucleonics)

The USS Proteus had a puk-o-meter on the wall in one of the shops. (Basically a bolt on a string for an angle indicator and color-coded angles)

The South China Sea is a roller coaster on a good day.

Nice little trip between islands, spend your time looking up at the clouds and then at the water in rapid succession from the same window.

Spent 2 days going thru Drake Passage in January. 40 ‘ waves made sleeping interesting. Not as bad as the guys in the 44’ sailboat that followed us across but took 4 days.
