It's a poltergeist.

I am curious about the effect of a warming barrel on POI. But is one shot enough. Interesting what else might cause it, like some shift in the stock/action/scope that only occurs after transport, but resets after the first recoil??? I had an event where my first two shots from a cold barrel...

Not sure your skill, but I know that my groups have shrunk more because I learned to be a better shooter, than because I have better ammo... Big factors, I leveled my reticle on my scope, I put on a bubble to prevent cant, learned to load my bipod, I got better trigger control, I have better...

Love the 7mm rem mag. Its what I have. I did my first load development and reloading ever for it. I had no mentor, except what I have learned from folks like these on this forum. I suggest you do make your load development more refined, meaning don't jump so far with powder charges between...

I have a 25-06 and this has me excited to get to loading for it.

Yes, that is the way the safety works on all my Savages. You can only slide it back into safe if it is cocked. The newer ones have a three position safety where you can work the bolt with it on safe, basically two safety positions. Search on Savage shooters forum or post your question there...

jimbires is right, your first shot is the one that counts for hunting, and your #1 and #2 shots combined as a group are better than even one group with the third shot. Given those, I would say that having the third shot jp every time is less likely you or the plastic stock. If it throws the...

Don't discount the movement of a hot/warm barrel, especially if it is the third shot, always. I was shooting these three groups as part of an OCW test, one shot in each group then repeat, from left to right. I shot two at each bullseye, then the range went cold. The first two shots for each...

Eggcellent.

Consider the "wylde" chamber which splits the difference between .223 and 5.56. You can find a complete lower and a complete upper with bolt carrier group and charging handle and get more choices online at gunbroker or other purveyors. Otherwise, there are a lot of guns to choose from in all...

I have one, and it is slick. I like it. Stays zeroed, and its a 10/22...

Every day away from the city is a good one. And, Vince, I'll be back to help out... I may have a day coming up.

It was a beautiful day. I drove through 20 miles of new snow getting up there from the Valley of the Sun, passed some sports cars slid off the freeway. It had snowed that night, and there was new snow on the ground at Vince's place. Vince walked me around and pointed out some areas. I did a...

You in AZ?

Replacable blades are an awesome convenience. Make it easy and fast. They are awesome. I've considered them, but have so many knives I like to use. The OP asked about sharpeners. I have talked with some who have a Lansky system, and though they "follow" the directions they never have success...

I use a cheap four side diamond block from harbor freight and a piece of leather belt glued to a board and load half with white aluminum oxide and the other half with jeweler's rouge. The first time takes me about 20 minutes, then after never more than five. Often, it takes just a few passes on...

God bless you sir. Nothing like taking boys out to hunt.
