I’ve seen here a few times that people have been looking for 200 grain .358 rifle bullets. American Reloading has them for a pretty fair price. In the past I ordered a few thousand steel core ball projectiles and they were quick to get them to me. Good prices as well. They are legitimate with...
You’ll love the BSB bullet. It’s one heck of a tough bullet. I don’t think a 308 could make one come apart. I’d trust them in magnums too actually. I may get scolded for this but they are tougher than Accubonds or Partitions. They are designed and marketed differently but damn tough. They are...
I’m going to have to go with the 308 Winchester itself as my favorite. It’s simple as to the why. My mom and dad gave me a Winchester Model 100 in 308 as my first deer rifle. Took my first and a few others with that rifle. It seems to always come up that the 308 Win is obsolete. There are deer...
Doest anyone know of someone that will build and re-barrel a Remlin 45-70. Would want the stock contour maintained and have the sights duplicated as well. It shoots great but the rifling isn't up to my liking. A factory replacement barrel wouldn't be out of the question either. I'm just mapping...
My bucket list is quite short but unfortunately not possible. That said, I’d like to have a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe chambered for 308 Winchester. A Winchester Model 100 in 284 Winchester, and a 1980’s Browning Citori in 20ga. with IC and Mod chokes. Maybe a few days in the Dakotas Pheasant...
Burris received the riflescope yesterday, and emailed me as such. Today they emailed back that it’s unrepairable and they are sending a new replacement. I’m not sure what makes it unrepairable, as it was new from box when put on the rifle. It doesn’t really make any difference though. This is...
Dan I have one in my right eye. Crosshairs seem to be clearer when I wear contacts instead of glasses. It’s frustrating to no end. I hope they can get you some relief soon. I’m working with the VA to try and get mine fixed.
I’ve got a cataract starting in my right eye. It’s not going to be long until the Trueglow gets replaced with a red dot. Thinking about having surgery to fix it but not sure. Getting older sucks. I don’t feel older but things just wear out I suppose. Regardless I’m really looking forward to the...
I can’t wait until April 19 which is opening morning of turkey season here. We can only hunt until noon for the first week of season. Which is nice. I putter around camp the second half of the day, or coyote hunt.
I’ve tried the red dot and didn’t mind it. It worked fine. Ended up putting a...
Welcome to the group! There are great people here, and they have a wealth of knowledge to draw upon. I’d also recommend getting a couple manuals to start with, and read them. They will give you techniques to help you avoid dangerous situations, and show you the best powders that compliment your...
That’s good to know. I’ll certainly give them a look. I really like the Vanguard. I’m heading to the range tomorrow to finally shoot it. If it shoots well I’m going to get another one in 308 Winchester. It’s not really a budget rifle I suppose, but you get a LOT of rifle for what you pay.
I’ve already got my stuff together for the opener in 4 weeks.
Last year I got into an argument with a particularly mouthy tom. I roosted him the night before. I was in early and he flew down just as the sky started getting light. I called back and forth with that thing for every bit of 3 hours...
