"what in hell am I doing with a .416 Rigby" I believe this would be a very efficient rifle for Adirondack Mountain snowshoes but I need Scotty to verify that. (they get pretty big up there) :lol:

Nice buck! I would be bragging on him.

"Oh, and I am so very pleased to see people recognise Scotty as the source of pleasant sorrow for so very many on this forum." Don't look too far Dr Mike. You are a very close #2 :lol: :mrgreen:

oh too funny Dubyam. --> "most folks who know me know that I'm so tight I squeak when I walk." Are you sure you didn't get that from my wife speaking about me? :mrgreen: I am totally sold on the Weatherby Vanguards. I have one 338winmag in Series 1 and two series 2s in 7mm-08 and 7mm Rem...

I second "BoreTech Eliminator". Scotty told me about this and I have never looked back. I clean my rifles every range trip. Sometimes that might mean 15-20 rounds and sometimes it might mean 40 rounds. If I see a extreme tiny bit of faded blue, I run one more time and that is it. I also use...

See how Scotty secretly makes you want to buy more rifles. I always thought one was enough and then Scotty put me in a trance. Now I have two (and one for the wife) and Scotty is using subliminal messaging to make me believe I need a 300 WSM now. :mrgreen: P.S. Scotty has been one of my...

"The hunters or newbies to hunting need to sit back, take a breath and focus on what they want out of a hunting rig and buy according to their set budget and not be pushed into spending more than they need to spend to get the job done" YOu are very right and I will agree that many vendors...

Thanks Everyone. Some great experience and reocmmendations! I appreciate everyone's comments Steve

Personally Iwould luv to get a big batch of 160 gr NAB seconds and be done with it... but I keep waiting and waiting and see no SPS offer on them. That is why I was looking at a lower costing bullet to play with. Some excellent points everyone Thanks

Interesting Scotty! I had always thought the A-Max were a premium and expensive 50 er box bullets. I need to look into these. Can they be used effectively for elk sd well? Thanks Steve

Yeah I am now a very committed Nosler bullet guy for all my rifles but I want to have some fun with other rounds and have some of those loads as backups. Interlock is sounding good. One another site, one mentioned the 154s. Is there that much benefit to bumping up to the 162s do you think...

Hunting Colorado Mule Deer and Elk. I am using my 7mm Rem Mag as a backup rifle only and already have excellent 150 gr Nolser Partition loads but wanted one other nice hunting load. In the past with another 7mm Rem Mag, I had pressure issues with the Sierra 160 gr gameking but that could just...

"Just for kicks I tried some H4831 and shot 3 into the same hole ..." After reading this comment here is my thought that echos a few in this thread. I use 225 NABs for my 338winmag. I could not get consistency till I tried the H4831sc. Constant consistent "you can bank on it" groups are 3/4" or...

All my rifles have synthetic stocks on them and they are just that, "synthetic stocks doing the job". Synthetic can look nice but never match the beauty of wood. Then I look at Scotty's son's 70 7x57. What a beautiful all around fantastic looking rifle !!!! :grin: Man, Scotty, you are one...

I called Minox USA today. I received someone on the other end rather quickly and no wait time. Greg for Minox answered with a very pleasant tone, listened to my concern with the scope and immediately offered to take a look at it. I shipped it out today. First impression of customer support: No...

Been out three times with the scope. Going to contact Minox on Thursday and send in for inspection\repair. I am going to remove from the classifieds as well. It might just be me since some say it looks fine but I am going to have Minox decide. 338winmag

I am about 3 - 4 miles from the disaster. I am safe from the fire (just across the interstate). We are hosting a family at our house that was rushed out and have no idea still if they lost their home. Even if their home is still standing, it might very well have extreme and severe smoke damage...

"when I can see through it. I have played with the focus a good bit" I might not have my scope mounted for a good cheek weld and the eye relief being 4"+ or right there at higher magnifications. This could be one of my issues with the easy eyebox acquisition. ...but I do have the focus issue...

Yeah I only see a few 338winmags over here in Colorado. I luv mine and go to the range with it often. If it is because of recoil, I can understand for some. At the range off bags or off-hand I start to anticipate recoil around 13-15 rounds. If using the Lead Sled, I can shoot all day with it...

Oh boy... :( "My dad is fairly....oh, what's the word?..... frugal? " I believe at least my wife my categorize me with your dad except when I am not looking she uses the word "cheap". :lol: :mrgreen:
