I fillete everything, I don't keep any belly meat just the backstraps including the entire tail. I didn't mention the lakes I'm on are all spring fed, sand and gravel bottoms, surrounded by marsh, with no inlets, only an overflow. There are only a handful of cottages on all three lakes combined...

Well, I would never have thought that. I always though of them as even better going North? It is one of my favorite fish in the late spring, sadly it marks the end of the best fishing in the spring. I would like to hit the smallmouth in those rivers feeding Lake erie from Lorain east this time...

I halted headway again, but got rewarded, I have the 338/06 as well as the LR 257 Varmint rig nearly dialed in to a T, and them big O'L Redear and Bluegill decided to hit them beds! So yep once again, STOP EVERYTHING, time to get them flies I tied all winter and the little 4wt fly rod out and...

You sir are WELL BLESSED! Thank him well, and best of luck this fall, I for one will be looking for them pictures with the red in them,,,, (y)

I think I am ready to start load development, barrel has nearly eliminated any signs of copper between shots now, and even 3 to 5 shots are shows very little, and is cleaning easily and quickly. So since I had the new 257 Varmint rigg broke in and ready, I spent the day Wednesday at the range...

I finally got the new Brux seasoned, good enough to start experimenting and working on a load withthe 88 grain bibs HPBT. My bullet of choice I built this rifle around for varmints on out there. I also have a supply of 85 grain Balistic tips, I will try when I get a load developed with the Bibs...

Well I suppose I have a couple that need bled, as well as a couple others that need to have some loads developed for. First off is the 223 barrel on my custom Remington Tomahawk after cutting the barrel from 24 to 19", truck gun. It was bled before I gave it better manners shortening it. Then...

Sorry just seen your question. Yes it is a Peak 44 stock, this one it the Black tooth model with the more classic swept back pistol grip I prefer, over the more vertical grip on Bastion. Now together on the 7 3/4 lbs 338/06 AI as setup, and the finest stock I've owned for soaking up recoil, as...

I'm no fan of monolith bullets, or any solid copper. I have seen way to many with unreliable results from time to time. Partition or Bonded are the only only hunting bullets I will trust. Even in my 454, the Swift A-Frames have proven 100% reliable results. I'm to old to start taking chances...

Thanks Mike, I am not the best at explaining things. But to your closing in response, I have some 180 AB that I have clocked at at 0ver 2900 with no signs of any pressure. Plus that load shot so soft and smooth, I am really thinking about maybe a 180 grain load. But the 200 and 210 is flatter...

Well I aint went back for the smallmouth yet, but I have had time to evaluate my efforts on the rifle! less than 50 shots thru it now, but after the above post I used 200 grain Hornady SST bullets to break in the barrel, over 58.0 grains and ww standard primers. This was just a guess that a max...

Day 3 and now a total of 12 single shots breaking in the Brux 1-10 Brux barrel while fire forming the 30/06 Lapua cases. First shot was solid coper from the throat to the muzzle, I mean a lot of copper. But by shot 4 the first 10 inches had pretty much cleaned up to just three wet patches of...

Finally its finished, picked it up yesterday after final bedding, and got the scope mounted and started the breakin. I only have 8 shots thru it, and all are with the Max Varget Load for the 200 grain Hornady in the 338 A-Square load data in their manual. It is forming the case fully with sharp...

Finally a first look at the almost finished rifle, a tad shorter than I wanted at 21 1/2", but very pleased to see the finished weight! I wanted this to finish light below 7lbs without glass, looks like we more than tackled that goal! I also put to rest to the all the "it will be to much...

Not pulling the trigger on this rifle yet, or game animals, which is even more telling, I'm still hoping my decision is right. The 35 Whelan was the only other caliber I had on my list of possibles. I am sure if this was only going to be used for elk and larger game intentions, the 35 would have...

If I was building this for deer, mountain lions, black bear, even caribou, and wanted to stay withing 300 to 400 yards, I'd not think about the 338 in the first place. The 257 Roberts Ackley Imp. is plenty of gun for any of these animals out to those ranges, which would probably an exception to...

well why didn't I think of that? Ya use the ones we have instead of building more and using them less? We all could probably have more fun, and not cost us more to do it! Excellent idea, enjoy Vince, and think of the memories it would bring, over another session in the same places and shops...

One piece or two piece, any difference in height should be addressed in the mounts, not the rings. Same with one piece rings and bases, the obvious difference there is the integration of the ring and base in one part, even two piece. No different than the XP-100 or 600 Mohawk, none of mine use...

The last component is here, my last 2025 rig will be underway next week! Yes, pillars sling studs, and recoil pad included, 18.0 ounces, not 1.8 pounds! The 338/06 AI is about to be reality!

who knows with weatherby? Any correct action I have ever delt with, and that is dozens of models and makes from single shots and break actions, to repeaters and bolt actions even semi autos, Use a base made for them, but the rings are always identical front and back! If you need bastard ring...
