Again- you guys impress me. I am also amazed that at this late date- (early august) you can get food plots to grow. Course I am stuck in MN. Few weeks are all that is left of the growing season for most things. Wish my tomatoes would start ripening- looking good. CL

Thanks Guys- Little extra firing pin clearance in the bolt. Kinda what I figured. I get acceptable accuracy at 39.5 gr. so unless things change I will stay there. I have heard of shimming a firing pin, but I'm not sure its the best plan for a 100 year old rifle and my friends budget. If...

I have had my share of issues, including broken rifle parts recently, and while things are looking up, I was looking at the fired reloads from my friends model 99 in 250- 3000 Savage and I noticed what looked to me to be "cratering" of the fired primers. Given my recent experiences I decided to...

Thanks all- I've already gotten my moneys worth in piece of mind and enjoyment from those groups. Work has been nuts all month and the last couple weeks the wife and I have been sick. So not much opportunity to shoot.... Hopefully that will come. I did set up a ladder test based on this...

If I recall, that was home for you? Enjoy your vacation sir! CL

Oops posted to soon- next had to try my old tried and true- 75gr Hornady V-Max's over 40 grains of 4350 nice group like it ought to be.... Then back to 100Gr BT's over 38 gr of 4350. After going back to the smith and discussing all fired brass and targets w/ him I think i might back this load...

Well- Sentimentality won out and despite all you guys sound advice to the contrary, AND the fact that somebody should name a cartridge "cloverleaf" :) I left my 250 Savage with the Smith mentioned in my post above. He reportedly scoped the bore and action. He offered to have the action...

Updates are forth coming..... "Aggie" (the rifle) is on life support but she aint dead yet.... just not a priority right now. Take care all. CL

Well done Guy! thats the way to get out there! Sure would admire to get up on one of those four legged ATV's again...long ears or not. :) CL

Thanks Don- family commitments meant that I had to stop instructing many years ago. Always appreciate those who pick up the flag. Thansk CL

For those among you who a Tech Savvy- I would really like to share some video my friend took Via a camera in his wood duck house- but the format (MP4 video) is not a copy paste operation. If anyone has some insight on how I can make that happen, please PM me. Thansk CL

Yup noticed that barrel too. My question is-- what am I doing with an extra 6 inches of barrel? Its obviously not needed and sure hasnt helped me shoot groups that small! Nice work

WT- Sorry for your loss. We are fortunate that we have had good examples and memories w/ our fathers. May the bring you comfort and peace as you grieve. CL

This is not info for a Leupold, but maybe it will help. These intructions came with a K-4 Weaver circa 1964 or so. These had friction adjustments with hash marks as I recall. Some body out there might have original directions for a Leupold. Again, these are for a weaver.

I know of a couple like that, that have not moved zero in YEARS. If you need newer technology and want to sell it, let me know! Zeroing is a bit of a guestimation but they tend to stay put. CL

Thank your good wife for her service to our country and, more importantly her moral conviction and integrity, and reminding those who need to know what integrity looks like. CL

Years ago- when I was still coming to terms with hunting with a 12ga slug, I hit upon the idea of hanging a Bleach jug full of water on a bungee cord up against the plywood target backer at my local range. First time I hit one of them with a 12ga slug at 100 yards, I was hooked! D@mn...

Now why didnt I think of that?!?? With a set up like that I could make points with the wife, doin' "dish duty" and still keep one eye out the window for ol'e Wiley. Pretty slick. CL

Looks like a beautiful way to spend a spring morning! (or several... :) ) Super nice that it works into a filled tag for you! CL

The good Lord made good dogs to show us what unconditional love should look like. Sorry for your loss- tough decisions, but sometimes just the best thing to do. CL
