    $350 Scope Recommendations

    Sorry to be that guy.. but this a little above budget would be in a different class than most of the chicom stuff that goes for 350 or less. https://www.eurooptic.com/trijicon-huron-3-9x40-german-4-crosshair-1-in-satin-black-riflescope-2700004 Meopta optika 5 2-10 if you can find one is a nice...

    Suppressor alignment?

    This. Yes, you should check alignment but your eyeballs work fine IMO. For the types of guys who buy lazer bore sighting cartridges, you can burn money on alignment rods if it makes ya feel better. It's not always the muzzle threads. There can be some bad adapters or threading on the...

    New Bolt Action Rifle Recommendations

    I've never had one either but my recollection is the issue is usually a ejection angle thing not extraction. Cases hitting scope and bouncing back in chamber being primary problem.

    7mm-08 load for Weatherby

    If you've tried multiple powders with multiple bullets it sounds like there are likely other issues. People like to pretend there is some perfect specific little combo they can create with load dev but if a rifle is that finicky you can burn half the barrel life chasing your tail and never have...

    Burris Zee Ring Height for Swarovski Z6 2-12X50

    Interesting. I think the mediums would work but will likely be cutting it close if they do. Put a straight edge on your pic rail extending forward over your barrel and measure down from it to barrel or where you might have contact on your rifles. If the distance from the straight edge to barrel...

    Burris Zee Ring Height for Swarovski Z6 2-12X50

    Tried looking at the specs to help you and they dont make sense. They say mediums are 0.78" high and highs are 0.80" high, which would be real stupid because 0.02" difference is inconsequential. I say buy different rings from a manufacturer who knows how to spec something reasonably or list the...

    BCDS - The Disease + Cure?

    Wouldn't consider myself recovered but rather actively mitigating BCDS. Once a guy recognizes he doesn't shoot enough in field conditions at distance to be ethical over 500 yards on game it's easier to put away the magnum 7s and 30s flinging 180 or 212+ grain pills and live with the more modest...

    Tell me about Wisconsin...

    Yeah but its mostly just rocks and cows according to our masters in St Paul. Yep. Some of the more expensive rural land in the WI/MN area for sure compared to other areas. It's all relative, might not be peak IA/IL row crop ground prices but its significantly more than East central/northern MN...

    Alliant Reloader 26 worth???

    If you go back to when Hodgdon/viht/alliant extruded powders were normally $40/# and factor in the inflation that has occurred since it’s probably not far off from current prices for hodgdon and viht at least.

    What are you currently reloading?

    How does that 116 shoot? Kind of wild those 106s are as close in length as they are. That's what i used for hunting last year and they did well terminally but not quite as consistent as others. Might be better if a guy closely sorted them..

    .270 Powders

    TS15.5, RL16, RL23 are all noteably more temp stable than the traditional 15,17,19,22,25,33 powders. The older ones tend to be a little hotter burning IIRC too so folks saw them as harder on throats. RL26 is just tops for velocity in lots of cartridges.

    Is a custom rifle worth it

    He's on some forum for boomers who like to slurp the zio neo-con propoganda somewhere.
