    Generic CDS dial for VX3i

    I bought a VX3i with a custom dial. Would anyone happen to have a generic CDS cap they’d sell me? Eventually I’ll get a custom dial but for now… Shoot me a PM, EFW

    Elk bullet in 6.5x55 Swede

    Ok the gent who I’m going with can’t make 26 work so it’ll now be (Lord willing) Wyoming mule deer in 26 and Wyoming elk in 27. I’m hoping I can mule deer hunt a unit that we could draw elk in 27 so it can serve as a elk scouting trip. That’ll also allow me to get another rifle… prolly 7RM or...

    Elk bullet in 6.5x55 Swede

    Thanks Jim we def need to meet up it’s been too long! Is the 140 NAB soft enough to open at Swede velocities out to 400 yds? I didn’t know if it was constructed with the WM or other fast 6.5s in mind? Anyone have experience with the Swede on elk sized game?

    Elk bullet in 6.5x55 Swede

    Been on a hunting and shooting hiatus for years as I cared for an ailing mother in law and in the process became obsessed with fishing. Missed you guys while I’ve been gone; hit my component guy’s place today and just about shat myself when I saw the prices!!!! I haven’t even thought about...

    .308 Hornady Match - Hunting equivalent

    I used the 168 HPBT Horn as my “blasting equivalent” to the Nosler Ballistic Tip of the same weight and flung em with identical components out to about 400 w/o a difference large enough to notice in hunting conditions.

    Bear with a fawn...

    Yep there’s a lot paid upon wolves & coyotes but I don’t think that black bears get their due when it comes to fawn predation. That’s a crazy pic. New Jersey cat ladies can’t quite picture that like we can; one cuddly creature eating another in so brutal a fashion. Happens all the time tho eh??

    When Did The 308 Win Become Trash?

    .308 Win is boringly predictable and doesn’t make the gun & ammo companies a ton of money in new sales. But it kills stuff as dead as can be, does so with regularity and authority, is typically accurate, and ammo is available in most places where such things are sold. Same goes for the .30-06...

    First reloads for the interarms mark x 30/06

    Ha Dr Mike beat me to it. I’ve looked at targets on notebook paper like that through spotter and gotten that “gut sink” before remembering the three hole punches in the side! Nice shooting rifle you got there Fotis those are really nice rifles so no surprise. Not much you can’t do with that...

    Springfield 03-a3 6.5-06

    Purchased the tube as a short-chambered, contoured, & ready to install item on GB. People were liquidating a gunsmith’s estate. I have a 338 WM tube for a Springfield from that estate as well; pondering a .33 Noz w/ that? Anyway seller said they’d measured and “best they could tell” it was 9”...
