I don’t have the arsenal that others on this site have. (Remember I’m from N.Y., so anything over one rifle is an arsenal!)
I have a Vortex 1.75-5 x 32 Diamondback on my Tikka T3x compact that I use for the close woods, and is basically my main hunting rifle.
I have a Luepold VX3i 3.5-10 x 40 on...
I try and save money when I can, but I also want the best I can get.
With that said, I love Accubonds, and now I only purchase the seconds, as my eyes can’t tell the difference between the firsts or the seconds.
They are extremely accurate in my rifles, (30-06 & .308 Win.) and the ones I’ve...
I completely understand the frustration all of you are feeling.
Our family has been N.Y. residents since the very least the early 1800s.
I hear some say “just move”, but that is much easier said than done.
Also, the trouble is that the left strain of this virus travels too.
It would seem that...
Here’s my Tikka T3x in .308 Winchester.
20” barrel, 1-10 twist, and is my still hunting, “practical rifle”.
I’m still trying to get a load figured out for 130 grain Barnes ttsx.
I have a very accurate load with 150 grain Accubonds and Varget, but just can’t get what I want with the 130s and...
Yes actually!
We make it quite often this time of year.
I actually like it better than pot pie, but to each his own.
We make it all in one pot so there’s less clean-up and less steps for prep.
Try instead of baking your biscuits, with your stew in the pot on a low simmer, drop your biscuit dough into the simmering stew, and cover the pot with the lid.
Cook for approximately 20-25 minutes.
The biscuits will be much more moist and tender, and you eliminate the step of baking.
They also...
Retired for almost seven years, and will be 65 this fall.
I get up between 4 and 4:30 every morning.
This morning it was 3:55.
Right after the time change I was getting up at 3-3:30, but have settled a little as my body has gotten used to the change.
I agree with Blkram, a lot of people have unrealistic expectations of bullets and how they perform.
Maybe they don’t really understand?
One thing to remember is that all of the animals you’ve mentioned are hunted quite often with a bow and arrow.
Whitetail deer are a curious thing. I shot the...
I had to read this a couple of times to understand it.
My comprehension is not good sometimes.😳
This shows pretty distinctly that seating can have an impact on groups.
Then you have some who would say not to bother….
That last group, 42.2 looks very nice!
I’ve been playing with 130 grain ttsx for my .308 Win.
I am struggling with getting anything consistent in grouping.
One day can be 3/4” groups which I would be more than happy with, the next 1.5” groups. (All at 100 yards)
My 150 grain Accubonds shoot 3/4 all day every day.
Unfortunately my...
I load up approximately 50 at the beginning of hunting season, and then if I don’t use that up it’ll probably get used through out the year, up to sighting in before the next season.
And then the process repeats itself….
I bought my model 94 from an older gentleman who I believe was in his late 70’s early 80’s.
He was selling it for his son.
As I was talking with him, he said that the rifle was “a shooter” and that it really liked those “new” Hornady bullets.
He told me that those shot really well in this rifle...
I have to agree with others.
Only shoot that distance at an animal if you have shot it on the range.
I understand the reasoning behind ballistic charts and programs but you never really know until you shoot it and then you are certain.
