Hey- Congrats on the new rifle! not picking on your shooting at all, but as a guy who just cant shoot worth a darn when other guns are going off around me, maybe another trip to the range is worthwhile before you drop another $50 on a box of ammo? that muzzle blast can get in your head. I...
Dale- glad some things were positive- that is a really cool classic rifle, (even in a synthetic stock ;) ) and a shooter too. Here's to hoping you have many chances to make some great memories with it! CL
I'd pic the weaver just cause I think a K-4 Weaver is second only to a 2-8 or 2-7 Leupold as an all around scope. Its also a "looks" thing for me, I think the larger objective bell "looks better" but thats just me. One thought, Which one has the heavier "easier to see" cross hair? Some of...
Thats how we feel about the cold in SD. Keeps out the rif raf. We get our share of wind too, but Wyo. probably gets more. 25mph is just a breeze in much of that country, so I'm told. CL
Here- this link is an excellent one hour tour of the great state. Its only narrated in the first couple...
Oh My. I am in self imposed exile here in Commy Sota. Job and life obligations and health probably mean I will stay here in Mn until I'm dead. I get across the border every chance I get, still. Family is mostly still there and Wyo. Had one cousin who moved back from Calif. many years ago. I...
Good reminder - maybe I'm already late for WYO. deadline!?! Always forget to check.....Dont see Non Resident Antelope listed. Hate GFP web sites! Got a couple points for SD. Some of those bucks spend the night in Wyoming and migrate across the border for the day. :) CL
Guy- did you take...
Wildcatter- that there is "reloading on the next level". Good shooting! Specially when you're shivering! Been there.... That stock is still impressive. Have had an idea about trying somthing like that idea in Maple for years. Too chicken to try it ma'self. CL
Aint that the truth. Aint a whiskers worth of difference between a 30-30 and the 350 legend but the bottle neck. And some how the 30-30 is too dangerous....the only thing to dangerous is people who dont understand that the only reliable back stop is dirt. Its easy enough to forget.... but we...
Yup- all of the above. Especially the part about Antelope in Africa. Wouldnt that be a blast. A 250 AI was thought by Ackley to be a very efficient Cartridge. Sorry, not to highjack your thread. A257 Bob Ackley is as well, and just more of a good thing! CL
Well- that is one of the best looking Axis reclamation's I have seen! Wish that (Joel) 257 Ackley was still knocking around the board. You guys would have some stuff to talk about! Congrats for finishing out a project well! What twist rate did you go with? Wondering if any one has tried the...
Clearwater- I have a cousin who can put the triple ducce (RCBS .222) dies to good use. If you havent had another offer and are ok with them going "off the board", shoot me a PM and I'll get you the money for shipping and an address. Thanks- CL
Rare that "planning" ever gets involved in my rifle purchases.... but then I guess I looked for several years before I found my curernt replacement for the original 250 Savage....and I spent the better part of a year getting her back up and running again when the bolt broke. Lots of "planning"...
"The new ammunition has silver primers my old ammo has brass. Not sure if that makes a difference."
I copied this because I was afraid I had read it wrong. In my experience, All the factory ammo I have shot from Rem, Winchester and Hornady, and Norma had "brass" colored primers from the...
