I was in a hurry when grabbing my rifle and ammo as I was really going dove hunting. So I,totally spaced the idea of bringing my chrono with me...as for the other stuff?
Thanks guys. I'm quite happy with it. And I got lucky and its zeroed down towards the bottom of the travel so I have a solid 50moa of come up to play with! According to "shooter" on my phone, that should get me out to about 1400 yards if I were to shoot that far! I'm going to play with it alot...
I finally got around to shooting some test loads out of my 700 adl 243 that i had restocked back in April. I bought a H.S. Precision stock and had Kirby Allen skim bed it for me. With the old factory synthetic stock, it shot ok. Sometimes would shoot good and the next time out, it would shoot...
And certainly not the last! Bought a brand new gen 3 g17 for $499 at Big R in great falls. I went to two other stores first and they had the same exact gun priced at $529 and $579! Now I want a g20 to hunt deer and carry in the mountains!
This is where she rests at night...on my nightstand
I'm shooting 180gr accubonds over 68.5 gr of h4831 and a cci 250 for about 2900fps. They are shooting pretty consistently about .75-1 moa at 100 yards.
My godfather is nearing the end of his hunting days and gave me this rifle yesterday. He had it built in the 60s or 70s by a gunsmith in Augusta ,MT. It's custom stocked and chambered in 257 Roberts Improved. This is my first ackley chambered rifle and I'm excited to play with it! Sorry for the...
Would have to be my 7mm-300weatherby. Killed my biggest whitetail with it and all but two of my elk with it. And what's not to like about a 160gr accubond flying at 3400fps?!
Thanks guys. I'm still to sure what ill do for glass. Probably just keep it simple with a vx-2 3-9x40. Right now I have a sightron 3-9x40 put on it until I can rat hole some money for a new scope.
Just traded a guy my beretta extrema 12ga for this...
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures. It's a model 70 stainless featnerweight 270 Win. She is a sweetheart! Can't wait to get out and shoot it. I'm thinking 130gr or 150gr partitions to try first.
I've seen more grizzlies put on the Rocky Mountain Front than I have back in the Bob or anywhere else. Last summer alone, I saw 14 different grizzlies within a month and a half less than 10 miles from Choteau. The grizzlies do stay out of hibernation later in the Bob. They know there are gut...
There are elk left in the Bob but the wolves are quickly changing that. I've hunted in the Bob quite a bit but always packed back in about 20 miles with my Dad and Grandpa. You might look into JJJ guest ranch out of Augusta, MT. The Barkers are good people. I'm not sure how many hunts they make...
