Nothing wrong with a 30-06 and 4064 is an old standby. I'm 68, first rifle I bought was a 30-06. I kept one I've had since 1986. Wishing you and everyone a safe and successful hunting season. Dan.
When I reacquired my 243 Win, I bought couple boxes of shells from fellow range member one of which was Federal blue box 100gr. They group good mostly half to one inch. A grandson says he wants to use it this season. Hopefully he will get an opportunity to try them out.
I have only seen one total albino and couple of piebald deer but not while hunting. A guy I worked with claimed he saw an albino buck one season bury itself in leaves when it heard another hunter approaching. He had been watching the deer for some time he said. Interesting story but he did have...
Don, sorry to hear this about your beloved pet. Been a long time since I had my last beagle and the one that was the best still has fond memories for me.
Found couple ticks on me couple weeks ago one looked like a blood blister where it was dug in. Both removed whole but the one bite wasn't clearing up so had my doctor call in prescription and started the meds. Follow up Monday showed no sign of infection and bite clearing up. This is the second...
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...
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...
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.
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.
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.
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...
