I'm thinking about having a CDS turret made for my VX-3 4-14 scope. It's on a Ruger #1 6.5 Creedmoor. I seriously doubt I'll ever take a hunting shot over 400-450 yds. It's included with the scope so there's no cost, but is it worth the trouble to use or just better to estimate bullet drop.
I got lost in developing a load for my #1 6.5 that @p_ham ham built for me. @Addicting jumped in and took me back to basics and gave me a step by step bringing it up to max speed without pressure signs. At his suggestion I backed it down a bit and started messing with seating depth. Here's the...
When I'm sent pictures from an iPhone to my Android they come through fine. After saving them and trying to post them on HT I get an error notice that the extension is not allowed. Not being a tech type, I don't get it. I have a couple really nice pictures I would like to share at times.
I'm working up a load for my 6.5 CM #1. I'm not seeing the groups I expected so I'm searching. I'm going to start messing with seating depth next. I have a Predator that I have a great load for so started there. The chambers are within a few thousandths. The Predator likes a .050 jump with the...
I'm not exactly sure where to post this. This is an issue that directly effects is and the wildlife around us. This proposed project is only a few miles from me. I live in Del Puerto Canyon...
I was talking to a younger guy the other day, younger as in 40yrs old, and the conversation got around to "what if". What if the USA was attacked on our own soil? He was saying that he would pack up what he could and head for an area like ours. I asked him what all he would bring to be prepared...
There has just been a flurry of quakes with the strongest being 3.9 about 50 air miles away. I never felt them but Sam our older dog goes off barking while Cooper never flinched. There was a study somewhere about dogs and earthquakes a long time ago. We used to have a dog that would get very...
A few of my buddies went to New Mexico a couple months ago and each got a nice bull elk. I had to ask what it cost for the guided hunt. It's way out of my budget. I was talking with a Fish and Game Warden I know fairly well a couple weeks ago and asked him what the fine was for shooting one of...
Does anyone have a first hand recommendation for a precious metals broker? With the recent high prices I'm thinking of selling off a few trinkets and coins.
Better yet would be a broker that is a member here!
What we do casually call "the Domes" took a beating in our last storm. The observatory is about 8 air miles from us. It has the Cal Fire lookout and our ONLY cell tower that will reach us. Hamilton has always created a rain shadow for us and now I guess it took the brunt of the winds. Our high...
I'm looking for a Ruger American full length .223 take off barrel. I have a Ranch model and want a full length barrel. I figured to swap out a barrel before replacing the rifle.
or are you kidding me? I caught this ad in Alaska magazine selling 150 pennies (1#) for 25 bucks. Get them while you can!! They may become extinct and worthless soon!
Can anyone identify these rings? I don't know where they came from, they've been in my "junk" drawer forever. I'm looking for a set of silver light weight rings to mount a new to me silver Leupold on a stainless Savage 93r17. I have some silver Leupold Rifleman rings but they are to blocky...
