Howard Leight- Impact Sport Electronics--- normally $50-60 online but theyre on sale often. https://www.cabelas.com/product/IMPACT-SPORT-ELECTRONIC-EARMUFF/2225038.uts?slotId=0 They work great at indoor ranges, outdoor ranges, rifles, pistols, sporting clays. And- if multiple people are using them just wipe em off right quick with a baby wipe. Mine get used at least once a week (since March) and then get tossed into my truck or range bag-- zero issues and none of the other officers have had issues either so thats a sample size of 18.

Would trade items listed for Barnes Bullets: 6.5mm- 127gr LRX 7mm- 168gr LRX

Aren't there normally two major accuracy nodes-- generally one at lower pressure/velocity and one at higher?? Maybe it's possible you are both right-- MMAC- maybe you didn't find the high node-- or that cartridge bullet combo just doesn't like to be pushed fast in the case of a 6.5cm. I'm also one to believe that you want to push Barnes hard because they are generally 'light for caliber' and require velocity for proper expansion. To me it seems that the point of Barnes in most cartridges used for deer to elk sized game is to push them hard and fast for a flat trajectory at hunting distances and to achieve proper expansion.

Bipod---SPF

Seekins rings and the 140gr Amax are SPF

Any reason not to go 30mm tube and 50mm obj lens? I see those listed quite often on forums well within your price range. I like the wind-plex reticle reticle that they offer as well- dial elevation and hold windage if you need to. If you think you want more magnification- keep your eyes peeled- lots of VX3 (not 'i') model 6.5-20x selling now for relatively cheap as well.

Barnes also publishes some load data on their website if you are looking for start points.

Glad it worked out!

Tomorrow- 0703 for $1800.... a guy can dream right??

Wayno- Your PMs are full.

wyano--- I drew a doe tag in 108 as well. I won't be up there until early OCT most likely. Are you guys going up for the opener? My buddy has a deer tag that overlaps.

And thats how they explained it to me- on the 12th you have to have a valid license in your hand-- if it expires after the 12th and you draw you simply have to have a new license before you start your hunt. I think standman had a pic of the reg.

Our group drew together for antelope buck, only two of us got doe tags. No deer tag on what was a guaranteed draw last year... #pointcreep

I hope your folks were telling you the truth. I would've bought the licenses just to be on the safe side.

Interesting-- Im a Non-Resident and my license expired on the 12th. I called in to check specifically to ensure no hiccups since the day of expiration was the same as the last day of applications. I was told I was good but if it had been the 11th then it wouldn't have been good.

Im a southpaw and working on a rifle that will be a mirror image of the Remington 700 VS-- it'll be a copy of the Gen 1 in short action which lots of folks still call 'sendero' but they aren't technically. Anyways-- cartridge is 22-250AI, barrel length will be 26" @ .830 (Remington Varmint Contour) planning to shoot 75s, 80s and maybe try out the 90s if they'll magazine feed (if I need to add a wyatts extended internal box I'll do that). Barrels that are available: Brux 1-8 Krieger 1-8 Bartlein 1-7.7 or 1-7 (5R rifling) Talk to me on advantages / disadvantages.

The big holes are from a .338wm that I just restocked.

.353 with fireforming some factory 22/250 looking forward to starting development with the heavies.

I think the guys at APR (and Kampfeld for the bolt) knocked it out of the park for a LH R700 VS replica.
