    Leupold Custom Scope

    Rodger, I have the Zeiss 2-10x42HD with Rapid Z600 reticle and find it very accurate. I shot my elk @ 525yds in 2016 with this scope. Just picked up the Leupold VX3i 3.5-10x40 with Boone & Crockett reticle. The Leupold is very nice but I prefer the precision of the Zeiss.

    Poor Cabelas customer service.

    Too many bean counters not focused on customer satisfaction and repeat business. My last experience at Cabelas turned out ok, it took some time to find a clerk to help me and then he was not very helpful. Not at all flexible on the ticket price of a used gun. "We have to maintain our 30%...

    .30-06 Rem 700 & 200 gr Partitions

    Nice rifle and great shooting Guy.. In my limited experience with the '06 I have stuck with the 180 Partition or Accubonds and never had a problem. I think they are a good compromise for trajectory, velocity and energy. Based on your liking for the 165's I bought a few and have not loaded...

    New To me Ruger Number 1S in 30-06

    The scope is too large for hunting, but is very good for load development and sighting in.. The LGS says he wants to be there when I put the first scratch on it to see the tears running down my face :( :(

    New To me Ruger Number 1S in 30-06

    These are the first targets shot with my Ruger Number 1S in 30-06. I picked it up on the way home from vacation earlier this month and yesterday was the first opportunity to try it out. The target on the left is fired with the same loads that I have developed, and shoot well in my Remington...

    Multiple rifles in the same caliber?

    I have 4 .22lr, a Remington single shot given to me when I was 12 yrs old by my parents. Winchester 61, family rifle, Remington nylon 66, and a Ruger 10/22, my wife's woodchuck gun. I now have 3 30-06's, first a Remington 700 CDL, then added a Montana ASR, both are left handed. Last but not...

    Good, long article on hunting scopes

    Thanks for the post Guy, knock on wood I have not had problems since the early 90's when I had a Burris scope on a TC Encore pistol in .253 Win. Went to Leupolds and had no further problems.

    Ruger Number One 30-06 - Ruger Customer Service

    Thursday I found a beautiful Number One that although previously owned appears to be unfired, at Cabela's in Greenville South Carolina. It has nice wood, but they had no scope rings for it so before I finalized the purchase I called Ruger Customer Service. The call was answered by a real...

    Questions on Enduron powder in 30-06

    I true primer pockets as part of normal case prep. I will be switching to CCI primers shortly as I am low on Federals and have been unable to find more.

    Questions on Enduron powder in 30-06

    Federal large rifle primers. Upon inquiry most replies were along the lines there should be no significant variation when changing to other brands.

    Questions on Enduron powder in 30-06

    IMR4451 produces 2,730fps in my 24" 30-06 with 180gr Partitions and very good, sub MOA, accuracy. 56.6 grains in New Nosler cases get me to 2,730, once fired cases produced a 2,760 fps average. Good luck, Rol

    338 Wm M77 Range Day

    Rodger, the IMR 4451 works well in my '06 with 180 gr Partition so you might try it. It is supposed to be temp stable. Good luck Rol

    Real expectations with top line binoculars

    Last month after shooting with NYDAN one afternoon, at dusk I set my Zeiss Conquest HD scope @ 10x and compared it to my STEINER PREADTOR XTREME 10x42 using just one side of the binocular and to my aged eyes the Steiner performed clearer, so I have to resist the temptation to buy more expensive...

    H4350

    I believe Hogdon, is dedicating their production capacity to the new enduron based powders. Unable to find H4350 in my area I switched to IMR4451 with beautiful results. In my 30-06 with a 24" barrel, new Nosler cases, Federal Large Rifle primer, and 56.6 gr of IMR4451, and 180gr Partitions I...
