Picatinny rail or reg bases for mark v and vx6 scope?
I don’t think it would go any higher with bases and rings. It would weigh 2-4oz more though. Depending on what bases and rings you used. -
Selling Public Land for Budget Reconciliatory Bill
Yep. His post reminded me of a conversation I had with a guy that was smoking a cigarette and wearing an “I’m with her” hat in early 2008. I was in college, and had just finished mowing his lawn for $30. Standing in front of his $250k house(2008 dollars), he began to tell me why we needed to...- ImBillT

Selling Public Land for Budget Reconciliatory Bill
If you read the amendment, it doesn’t prevent the sale of federal lands. It only states that the proceeds from such a sale cannot be used to reduce the deficit. It literally calls for the creation of a “deficit neutral fund” to place those proceeds in, so that they can only be used to prevent...- ImBillT

Cutsom Turret Scope questions
There are even some companies making tape that you can wrap around existing turrets if your scope has tall enough turrets. I asked to buy an extra set of caps for an S-TAC. Sightron sent them free of charge. Now I intend to drill and tap them for a pair of set screws to use as a zero stop... -
Tag services vs GoHunt ?
goHunt has a page showing all draw deadlines on the free side of the site, so there is no subscription needed for that. I believe they also email me deadline reminders, although I’ve been getting those from multiple sources, so I don’t remember for sure if goHunt does that. Again, no...- ImBillT

Tag services vs GoHunt ?
I’m honestly not sure. They announced that they were offering it in a few states this year, but I don’t remember which states they were.- ImBillT

Tag services vs GoHunt ?
I wouldn’t say this is completely accurate. Yes goHunt generally only uses last year’s numbers, and for states that change tag allocations and seasons regularly you need to know what you’re looking at. IIRC they used to not list some Utah and AZ hunts because they weren’t there in the previous...- ImBillT

Tag services vs GoHunt ?
I like OnX’s maps better. If you already have OnX, their draw odds are better than they used to be, so upgrading to the elite package and sticking with them is an option. I would choose goHunt and/or OnX Elite over a tag service.- ImBillT

.25 Creed! But Why?
Really? The 6.5 Creed is a 30TC necked down to 6.5mm. IIRC they didn’t even change the throat length. The 30Creed was the first Creed.- ImBillT

.25 Creed! But Why?
I don’t know why they wouldn’t be death by lightening. I just don’t see why a 6.5XYZ wouldn’t equal them with better bullet availability. There isn’t anything wrong with any 25. If the options and availability of 25cal bullets we’re equal to that of the 6.5, and the 6.5 was as lacking as the...- ImBillT

Tag services vs GoHunt ?
goHunt is not counter intel, and has been well worth the money in my opinion. They do occasionally make mistakes, but they cut my time compiling draw odds from countless hours to only minutes. They put draw odds and harvest stats in one convenient location, and right next to that is other good...- ImBillT

.25 Creed! But Why?
Some people are just in love with 25’s. I guess if you can sell them something, then you might as well.- ImBillT

Question for the 30 cal guys
190VLD in ‘06AI and 308Win. I’ve been considering dropping to a 155VLD in the 308Win for trajectory purposes.
