I've been packing a tripod for over three decades. I use it for everything..... Obviously supporting a spotting scope, my binos for glassing, makes long term use easier, and better to find game..... Like the time I saw just the eye of a Mule Deer in Montana bedded down in Sage Brush. Accurate...

This is somewhat like the "4 Stable Sticks" I've tested. I thought it was a viable option, but I very quickly learned on uneven ground, and left to right adjustments (having to slightly pick up and move the legs) wasted time. I know a few hunters that use these, and like in Africa the three...

Troy, The guys up in Ponderay Idaho at Buffalo Arms mostly use Swiss 1.5 Fg for the BP Cartridges they load for. Swiss is considered the Best BP and I would have to agree considering it's what is used at the National BP Cartridge matches. Schuetzen is also a good powder but will not produce...

Yah, I figured that won't last long..... Beautiful wood, great gun, and priced to fly out the door!

6.5x47 Lapua is SPF.

I'm not 100% sure but my best guess it is SAAMI spec. You could look it up, the P/N is 71428 for the die and see? I tried to attach a hyper link to the answer directly from Redding but it would not copy and paste it. That said it is SAMMI spec. I'd say as a Neck Die, I don't think the...

I have these three Type S NECK die(s) sitting around and need to have them find a new home. $75.00 each they do NOT include a bushing, they are all in near perfect condition.

Nice job..... I'm sure it will be tasty!

Can't complain about that beauty! Nosler has always been The bullet to hunt with IMO for decades, and I'd still hold that true today if I still hunted as much as I used too.

Nice to see the finished product after the make-over, looks really nice Scotty. That's nice to see it's shooting well too! I had the last batch of 280 RWS brass Stateside a while back and sold them only because how short they were turning out in my 280 AI, amazing isn't it on how long they'll...

Great story, and an even better happy ending for them all. Nice Buck BTW.

He was honest and to the point..... You gotta love him for that.

Not Cool at all.... Sorry you got shafted, it's clear someone is asleep at the wheel over their. A good gunsmith would drop everything and fix it and/or when a barrel becomes available. Maybe even pull some strings to quickly get one in his hands so your rifle is too!?!

I wouldn't worry about it too much, you’re only talking about 100 f/s loss over a 24” bbl. The 1:10” twist will help stabilize your load over a 1:12, you'll end up with the same # of revolutions in a 20" bbl. Like Guy said, short barrels are stiffer than their longer counterparts, and tend to...
