When I had my first Rem 700 Classic in 6.5x55, it liked the max charges of IMR 4350 with both the 140 gr Nosler Partitions and the Barnes X bullets. The X bullet would put 5 rounds into less than an inch at 200 yards. The Partitions would go just over an inch. I didn't own, or have access to, a...

The Winchester 1885 Low Wall in 6.5x55 arrived on Friday, and due to other chores, I finally got the scope mounted tonight. Hope to shoot it on Tuesday as I have a day off work. The scope is the Kahles Helia 3-9x42 w/ TDS reticle. Scoped, it weighs 7 lbs 7 oz. Have always liked these Low Walls...

That's one helluva a cat! One of my Bucket List animals!

Well, you all enabled another rifle deal! ;) Chatting with a fellow lefty with a penchant for the LH version of the Browning X Bolt All Weather rifles, we are now trading his 308 Win for my 7mm Rem Mag. I want to try that Federal 308 Win 175 gr Terminal Ascent ammo I have on hand, and he says...

There's something to the old mass and momentum theory when it comes to a bullet's on-game performance!

I guess that is why so many of buy the books and magazines, and/or watch the hunting shows/videos; so we can live vicariously through the adventures of others until if, and when, we can do so ourselves! I also enjoy learning about the new animals, locations, rifles and cartridges, and people...

Yes, some rifles are just that way! I hope this rifle shoots for you! I just love the RSI's; wish they made them in LH! (As much as I like the No.1, sometimes I just want a bolt action!)

A long drive isn't always a bad thing....unless you are tight on time. Make it part of the adventure! Do some sightseeing along the way. (I guess having once been a truck driver, it doesn't bother me.) It was 3200 kms (1988 miles) one way to southern Colorado for my father/daughter hunt last...

It is a little more difficult to sometimes find the Ruger stainless rings in 30mm, but they are out there. I don't know about the 34 mm tings as I have never looked for them...but I have never been interested in a 34mm tubed scope as yet. I forgot that Trijicon makes some of their scopes in 34mm...

I mounted a Swarovski Z3 3-9x36 on my Lipsey's Edition Model 77 RSI in 250 Savage in the Ruger rings, when I had it. It made a nice, light, and trim package with sufficient power for the cartridge. It also shot very well. It would put 3 shots into 0.421" at 100 yards with the Hornady 100 gr...

If you call Lipsey's they will give you the correct information. They have been good to talk to over the years.

B: Use it!!!

While I am more than happy to "enable" you, with a "get them all" reply, and then let them sort out which is most accurate, which is most efficient, and in the end, which one you like shooting best! :devilish: (Too bad you couldn't test fire them first!) From a biased standpoint, I would say...

There are at least a couple of threads here on the forum of others who have had recent adventures hunting and enjoying the nilgai meat. From all accounts that I have read, and seen on hunting shows, over the years, the nilgai is a challenging hunt, that you will work for it to get a good shot...

The airport security staff should be better educated as to what they are looking for and why; and taught that a "bullet" and a "cartridge" are two different things, and that a bullet, in its component form is not a dangerous item. They should also be taught that a cartridge by itself is not a...

Susan and I have a somewhat different recollection of that day's events 🤔 ...but the good Dr is a master storyteller and can twist a tall tale (er bunny tail) with the best of them!;)

Now Mike, Were you thinking of the rabbit misadventure... Or the "Aunt" road?

Have a great adventure! Look forward to your stories!

I too was a farm kid, and you took life to sustain life. No emotions here for having to kill to survive. It is the circle of life, that has sustained human kind for millenium. Without it, we wouldn't be here today. I am grateful for the sustenance. As for the family and friendships of those...

I liked how light and quick the Viper sticks were to set up (same as the 4 stable sticks) in more open terrain, as there is only two pints of contact on the ground. They are pretty stable as you get front and back support. (More stable than the Trigger stick, but not as stable as the Death Grip...
