That’s good to know. I’ll certainly give them a look. I really like the Vanguard. I’m heading to the range tomorrow to finally shoot it. If it shoots well I’m going to get another one in 308 Winchester. It’s not really a budget rifle I suppose, but you get a LOT of rifle for what you pay.

Great looking rig you built. Can’t wait to see how it shoots. Great job.

I’ve already got my stuff together for the opener in 4 weeks. Last year I got into an argument with a particularly mouthy tom. I roosted him the night before. I was in early and he flew down just as the sky started getting light. I called back and forth with that thing for every bit of 3 hours...

That’s absolutely beautiful. How does it sound? Still to this day, Orange Osage is useful in making longbows too. It’s really dense and resists taking a bend permanently. Indians in the Appalachian’s, and Ohio Valley areas used it extensively for this. There are still bows made from hedge apple...

It never crossed my mind that it was the scope. It was new from a sealed box, and I’ve never had a hiccup with Burris at all. I guess it happens to them all. I’ll see what they have to say once it’s checked out.

Ok, so the new Nikon was able to be bore sighted quickly and easily. So, I had another new Burris Fullfield II 4.5x14x42 as well. I opened the new Burris and put it on in place of the Nikon. The final unused Burris went on and was able to be bore sighted without issue. In fact the I had to bring...

And, there’s no such thing as a cheap rifle. Once it’s bought, scoped, slinged, cased, and loaded for in ready to hunt condition I’ll end up with $12000 in the rig before I get out of the truck. I give………🤷🏻‍♂️ EDIT: and that’s what an old single shot 22 long rifle, rusted with the stock duct...

Ooorrrrrrrr………get a 270 win, or 280 Rem or AI. That way you wouldn’t be the cause of homeless powder. I enable where I can. ;)

I have 4 that haven’t been fired yet. A 308 win that just got a new McGowen barrel, Timney trigger, and a PT&G bolt head. This one has been hunted with and taken deer, but hasn’t been shot since the new barrel. 2 new AR’s, both are 16” nitrided barrels. One has a carbine length gas system and...

Groups like that are certainly satisfying. Great work on the loads and great marksmanship. Do you have any photos of the rifle?

Amen Jim, I have read about it quite a few times as well. Unfortunately I dismissed it until it impacted me. Dan, I was just hard headed. Self taught lessons have deep roots. I knew better. All my rifles have Talleys, except for this one. I’ve never had an issue with them. I’m optimistic...

The 6mm BR would be an excellent chambering for young hunters. Or a 54 year old hunter like me. A crunched down 243 Win, heavy for caliber bullets, and Whitetails. A match made in heaven for new hunters. Would be just as deadly on coyotes or any other varmints shooting any one of the 75 grain...

Great shooting, well done.

Either 4895, or Accutate 2495 should put you in the neighborhood you’re trying to get too. Its burn rate is what your rifles were designed to optimize. You can also go a little below the starting load of H4895 to be at the velocity you want. It doesn’t create unsafe conditions when reduced...

Here is the Speer load data. You’ll be hard pressed to find many powders that will best H4350 in the ‘06. It’s temp stable, gives great accuracy, and close to top velocities. I have however hear many on here sing praises for SB 6.5 in your ‘06. I think it gets the best velocities of all powders...

Also, Cabela’s has Staball 6.5 for $53.99. Have it shipped to the closest Cabela’s or Bass Pro, you pick it up in store and they ship it free. When you have it shipped to store it gets free shipping and no hazmat charge. Certain days will have promo codes for a further discount. They will also...

I like the Gold Dots very much. I shoot the 150 grain variety from my 308 Win at 2980 fps and CFE223. A few things about this load surprised me. First was the velocity of 2980 fps while having no pressure signs. It’s a less than max Hodgdon load. Second, they are very consistently going into...

I agree with you completely. The Game Reaper 1 piece mount I have coming is specified for only the Howa 1500, and Vanguard. 700, 70’s, and Bergara’s all have different model and part numbers for their respective 1 piece DNZ mounts. The Burris FF-2 has 40 MOA of adjustment, BDC reticle, and has...

I’ve got a standoff with rings and bases going on right now, but when it’s over I’ll be putting the first rounds through a Weatherby Vanguard Sporter in 270 Win. The DNZ rings and base should be here by end of week. Hopefully I’ll get to the range, if not the range then a farm I coyote hunt...

I agree, I’ve not seen it until now. When I called Talley and DNZ they did say each thousandth of an inch higher or lower equals roughly 1 MOA. It was the first time trying them, there won’t be a second for me. They were one piece rings and bases. I knew better but was a bonehead, and tried them...
