    Resale value of your rifles- whats been your experience?

    In the last few months my wife and I have gotten our affairs in order so it will be easy as possible for our children to settle our estates. In my will I designated specific rifles to certain family members the rest to my son. I have talked to him about this, and my wish is whichever ones he...

    Spotting scope

    I bought a Leupold few years ago 20x60. Clear, can see bullets out to 200 yds easy and 300-400 if 277 or above diameter if light colored target material. Was disappointed made in China and the short table tripod isn't too stable, shakes alot on the bench. Use and old Tasco tripod that works...

    New load work up for hunting rifle

    Possibly. Runs patches till no more black( carbon-powder reside) shows up, comes out clean. Brush a few strokes with a copper remover, let soak for about 20 minutes. Push a clean patch through the bore and if blue is on the patch repeat until there isn't any. Pretty much it.

    A Mother Is Hard To Lose

    My sympathy to you and your family. It's hard when our moms pass but your description of her life and faith in her Lord and Savior gives assurance to see her again in Heaven. When we trust Jesus as our Savior we have a peace that passes all understanding. Prayers.

    New load work up for hunting rifle

    You just need the patch to be sung not straining to push through the bore. Try using a 284 diameter jag or thinner patch on your 308 jag. Nylon brush passed thru few times. What cleaner are you using. I like BoreTec and WipeOut.

    New load work up for hunting rifle

    Bummer on the groups gone sour. You've already checked off the common things to look for. Some things I'll add. How many rounds down the barrel? Did it foul much from bullet? If so make sure it's really clean. I've found that 45-46 grs of Varget with 150gr bullets gives good accuracy in my 308...

    Nice groups. Hard not to like a 6Br as they are easy to get to group.

    Hunting camp

    Very nice-looking camp. I was in a camp for a few years. Not as nice as yours but was plenty comfortable. Tent camping with a good setup and good guys can be enjoyable as well. Did that and it was good times.

    Best group ever with a #1 well almost.

    That is a great group. Like you I tend to pull a shot. Even tried not looking at the group. Glad this rifle is working well for you. By the way, I'm still looking for a self-help group Shot Pullers Anonymous:D

    Load development for hunting rifle

    Lots of good information shared with you. As is, any of those five shots will fit into that orange dot so that is good to know from first to last shot. Just adjust to point of aim. I'm just curious but looking at the load data on the target it shows 43grs Varget. Did you try any other powder...

    QL Request please? 24" 7mm08, 145LRX going for 64K? Thanks!

    Hey Preacher, I'm on my third 7mm08 and Stabal 6.5 has given good groups in two of them and Big Game grouped well in all of them. Hard to find right now but worth trying when you do. Dan.

    My nephew who has lived in PA for several years said it wasn't worth the hassle for him to apply for a tag.
