Na- gotta leave room for the "Duck Tape". I woulda said JB Weld, but Ive been guilty of that myself- just dont tell my wife I got some on the kitchen table... :). Nice CZ. If the Ruger was cheap enough and you needed a "kitchen door" gun......???? CL

Sympathies to your daughter and all who enjoyed that beautiful animal. Always wanted to have a soft spot for a horse.... life just never worked out that way. Pretty cool that she had that opportunity. Made me think of one of my favorite poems and poets.....

Thanks for the update Jim. I had to read that three times before that started to make some sense.... some.... still. They didn't replace it. They just Neutered it. I Put on 500 miles going home for Easter. counted three coons and a coyote road kill. I guess the Ford is more efficient at...

I paid $30 a box for .257 Balistic Tips a couple weeks ago. You done good! CL

Look for posts from "Joel" AKA 257 Ackley on this board. He used to hang out here years ago and was an ardent fan and accomplished reloader, hunter, and shooter. 100 Gr BT's or 110's would think , would work in a 1:10 twist. My250 Savage likes them. Those with more knowlege than me have...

I too have seen and lived around those "boots" most of my life, and I am talking about hunting or spending time with those same people. I have standing invitations... but I cant afford it , or those same folks do not feel the (direct, any way) benefit of my liscence $ investment. And I feel...

So a week or two ago I looked up what it would cost for me to get my "coyote license" (predator lisc.) back home for 2026. Price went up another ten bucks....okay....what hasn't. But then that's $75 to go home and carry a rifle with my cousin's. :eek: C'mon... So lets see, the state has a...

" Xpediters"- never heard of those. Ive got a box of that super X myself. And an old Outers "hard Maple" cleaning rod myself. Fun stuff to see thanks for posting. CL

Only 8 inches - 18- 20 in SE Mn. Of course the wind and cold are next. My mistake, the girls tournaments were this week- boys are next week. Wonder if we'll get another dose. CL

12-15 inches of "Spring" forecast here in the next 48 hours. Its time for boys state B-ball tournaments here. That's about average most years. That -5 below temp forecast for Tuesday night is gonna suck though. CL

Sorry- you said all that earlier in this thread. Ugh- I hate chasing the variables- If it was me doing the shooting, I would blame it on "operator error". If you are confident in your replacement scope, then maybe its a powder/ load issue although it dosen sound like that. I recall at one...

Dan- havent you learned anything from us.....? NEVER SHOOT THE DONOR!!! NEVER..... :) :) Good luck with the build! CL

Boy- from what Ive been told and seen it takes a lot to burn out a barrel. You've had two shots touching and then these big spreads. Sounds like heating up or cabon fouling or a bedding issue. is this pattern repeatable (two shots close and then opening up)? Hate to say it, or a scope? CL

Couple things additional- Brass "shell counters" are nice if you are a collector but Ive never heard of anybody having trouble with the other metal ones whatever they are made of. Also a good old Glenfield would work great and wouldn't break the bank. For what they get for 94 any more, you can...

Dosent surpise me that the 99 you tried seemed to "fit you". They were popular because of that. What you descibe is the perfect "walking around rifle". The 99 is it. Cool to find a "newer one" in 308. That makes it potentially so versitaile. My friends below is an old take down model...
