    Sad Duty

    Guy sorry for your loss. I have a very similar story. My dad passed away almost 2 years ago at the age of 92. He as well was a WW2 veteran passing away fittingly on Nov 11, 2020. He lived a good life up until about 2 months before his passing. He took his last deer at the age of 90 and his last...

    Surprise, surprise from a used Marlin X7

    I’ve had a couple X7’s myself in the past . One a 308 the other a 7-08. They were very finicky but if you found what they liked they would shoot. Surprisingly for both these rifles I found liked PPU factory ammo best. 150 gr for the 308 and 140 gr for the 7-08. I was never able to find the right...

    Looks quite possible that the Norma Bondstrike is a rebranded ELD-X or at least built for Norma by Hornady

    QL Request 25-06 edition

    Noah, I just had a custom 25/06 built with a 1/7 twist 24” barrel on a Model 70 action. I worked up a load last week almost identical to what you ask except I used IMR 4831, 115 gr NBT, Hornady brass, CCI 200, 52.0 grs , 3080 fps , .775” group. While it shot the 117-110 gr bullets well, it...

    What are your current LR hunting rigs...Pics would be great!

    I’ve got several long range rifles that I actively practice with and hunt with. Almost any deer caliber 25 cal that can shoot moa can be set up to kill deer out to 600 yds. I have several rigs that I have taken deer out to 500 plus yards including 6.5x55, 270 Win, 7 REM Mag, 7 Wea mag, 30/06...

    Sounds like mag length is not an issue and you have an awesome shooter. 1/2 moa will do anything you will ever need

    Cheap Rifles.

    I have a Ruger American in 7-08. I get .5 moa with my handloads. I bought the rifle used for $200 and put a refurbished Nikon 4x12 scope on it. So I have $300 in a half moa rifle. Hard pressed to beat that

    Lost Magazine Article

    My current REM 700 Sendero in 300 Win Mag shoots 200 gr AB’s and NP’s much better than the 180’s. I’m getting less than 1/2 moa with each using RL22 and 2970 fps with less than a max book load.

    Ruger Precision Rifle

    While not a Ruger Precision Rifle, I shoot a very similar Savage BA10 Stealth which is Savage’s equivalent in 6.5 CM. It is topped with a Vortex 5x25 PST Gen II and I have quite successfully competed in F class to 1000 yards. Consistently shoots about half MOA. While all of the adjustments are...

    Working on the Whelen.

    You might try the Tubbs finishing system. I have had some luck with it in the past smoothing out a rough bore
