Just once for rifle; Hornady Superformance in 35 Whelen. Out of my Rem 700 with a 22 inch tube, it read 2900; average of 3 shots. I learned two lessons that day: 1 - that rifle can pinch nerves in my shoulder bad enough to make my fingers go numb. 2 - my rifle seems to shoot "fast" for some...

Not just the stock. I repainted the receiver, scope rings, and a few other bits of a rifle for my sister in law using caliper paint I got from an auto parts store. Comes in lots of colors and is heat tolerant to way more than you will get from shooting (I hope). She liked blue, so she got blue.

All good info, but remember that every rifle is just a bit different. And each environment is different (temp, humidity, altitude). If you can, shoot your personal load - hand load , or just whatever factory load you use - over a chronograph to see what it will do. Besides, it's a good excuse...

Thank you all.

It certainly does. Love Kenetrek, but I almost think I could hire someone to carry me around for the cost of a pair :LOL: . I've run the extreme budget route before, and I know you end up sore, cold, wet, and tired. Another thing I want to get is a quality backpack-style dry bag. Anyone...

If a firm hold seems to help, try a sled, if you have one. Even a couple of sandbags might work. I was having issues with one rifle and ended up putting it in a (Bog, I want to say) deathgrip tripod. That seemed to work very well for me. Also proved I needed more dry fire practice.

Love 22. Fond memories of exploding soda (pop, if you prefer) cans. No I keep one handy at the house for cleaning up duties, loaded with ear safe subsonics. *ahem* By that, I mean vermin. Like snakes, or armadillos. Or squirrels, if they're in season.

Okay, since this is story time. Was at a public range with wife, brother and his wife. Guy to our left was blazing away with his AR at - 50, if I remember - stopped and just watched my wife start popping off her Gunsite Scout in 308. So, completely innocent, she notices him watching and asks...

You have nothing to apologize for.

No worries. Sometimes it's hard to get things like humor across in text-only format.

Easy, friend. That comment was intended in jest.

Never hotwired a horse. Heard of it done with cars, but not horses. :unsure:

Not with that attitude. :sneaky:

Now that I think of it, Bobcats on the Ridge sound like it should be the title of a Bluegrass album.

That is soooo cool.

Sure thing. Hope you get some good spendin' money from them.

I'm not an expert, but I think I can answer some of your questions. The 440 round cases are likely 7.62x54r, while the 720 round case is almost certainly 7.62x39. I do not know of any milsurp that is not steel case, the question being really if they are plain or lacquered. They are all...

Sorry, can't help on the 2x7 front. Think I have a 4x on my Marlin; Bushnell? Need to check. I know it's an inexpensive scope, as I didn't think it needed to be much for a 44 mag.

I was lurking on another forum and I noticed that everyone seemed to think they needed to advertise every single firearm they owned. And better than half of them seemed to think they needed to quote one of a dozen people. I mean, I have no issue with it, but I just like poking a little gentle...

Thank you all. I've hunted a grand total of 01 bears a grand total of 01 hunts, so anything I can add to my toolkit is much appreciated. Best forum on the net.
