My kids were only like 6 or 7 years old when they had them. Way too young looking back, but sounds like yours is at a better age.
Good luck to you and your daughter.
How old are your kids? Our insurance covered braces once per lifetime per person. Our kids were little when some ortho convinced my wife the kids needed braces. We argued, and of course she won.
They were too young, imo, and their teeth kept moving as they grew. I think they could have...
There’s a published article online written comparing chronographs by Bryan Litz that I’d recommend. Bryan is a real life rocket engineer that worked for NASA, and is now the chief ballistician for Berger bullets.
The article is pretty interesting. After reading, I bought a magnetospeed based...
I just got home a bit ago and pulled out my Lyman cast bullet handbook. There’s a 115 grain Lyman bullet that’s 30 cal and uses a gas check, but it’s identified as a 30 m1 carbine bullet. Max loads for that bullet in an m1 carbine are just over 1800.
The lightest cast bullet with gas check for...
I assume you're in Wisconsin based on your name.
Randy Gregory from Accuracy Unlimited has made several new barrels for my Palma gun, and has reprofiled them as well for me. He really does great work and is in Medford, WI.
You have to let the bolt slam shut to ensure it would fire. If you wanted to slowly close the bolt to limit noise, it wouldn't go off. If you wanted to verify you have a round in the chamber, you couldn't just open the bolt partially. I think it's referred to as the 'Benelli click' that would...
I have one of these in 20 gauge, and several 12 gauges. They have been incredibly reliable for me, and I like them very much.
i sold my Benellis after being seriously disappointed - I’ll never have another inertia gun. I had M2s and Vincis.
One more comment, if I recall correctly the Optika 6 was pretty heavy compared to some similar size/power hunting scopes. Not ideal for a lightweight rig at all, but for my use weight was not a concern.
I have an Optika 6 I shoot on my match rifle. Typical 'cross the course' matches are fired at 200, 300, and 600 yards and I've shot a few mid range matches at 600 yards.
Tracking and zero have been repeatable which is super important as we dial elevation up and down as we change yard lines. I...
Agree, i looked over a new Ruger Marlin a few weeks ago and was impressed. I should have bought it right then, but waited one week and it was gone.
I don’t see the prices coming down. I think a good quality firearm costs money, and a Ruger doesn’t seem like they’re interested in selling...
I made my own for a couple hundred bucks. There's really great instructions on Accurate Shooter on how to do it.
I kind of agree with BigJay above, although it's not only a benchrest thing. If you're only doing it for hunting rounds, it probably doesn't make a lot of sense.
But if you're in...
