You could make your own for about $12. Google it and you'll be surprised how easy it is.

I've not shot any of their rifles, but I know a few guys who do at the local 3 gun matches. They had a booth at SMM3G and I really liked their new trigger. If I didn't have two Geiselles laying around I would have bought one to throw into the rifle I'm building my wife. Next match I shoot I'll ask the guys I see shooting them.

Can anyone quantify the advantage of 50mm vs 40mm objective
metau replied to apache12's topic in Long Range Shooting
If memory serves me right, it all has to do with exit pupil diameter. You take the objective lens size and divide by the magnification to get the exit pupil. The human eye can dilate to about 6-8mm(depending on age and other factors), so the closer you can get the exit pupil of your scope to your max dilated size the longer you will be able to see through your scope. Of course, this also assumes the quality of glass and coatings in the scope are good enough to help and not hinder this. -
22-250 or .243 for yotes and mulies
metau replied to AR15RDY's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Of the two you listed, the 243 would be my choice. I have both, and have used both to take deer and coyotes. I would not use the 22-250 on deer again. I'd take my bow or use a handgun before my 22-250. The quarter bores and 6.5's allow you a lot more flexibility with what you could shoot with said rifle, and the conditions in which you could take such shots. Lance's recommendation for a 25-06 is spot on. I had one many years ago(ex took off with it), and bought it just for the purpose of an all around rifle in CO. In the three years I had that rifle it was used to take several mule deer, an antelope, a slew of coyotes and bobcats, a lion, two cow elk, a pair of foxes and a small black bear. Shot the 85gr NBT's, 110gr NBT's and Accubonds, 100gr Scirocco's and 120gr partitions. Don't think they make the 110 NBT's anymore. I'd have one again except that I have a 257wby now. And a 243. And a 22-250. But one day..... -
Sweet! We'll get to 50 pages before the draw for sure then.....

Completely spaced this bud. I'll honor the earlier price that I said I would take it at. Sent you a PM.

Logged into the portal just fine, nothing to update.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step towards recovery.

Finally looked through one of these this past weekend. Has any one found an issue with the size of the aiming circle when ranging at distance?

I currently am running two benches, one I sit at and one I stand at(NMRA bench, have not finished the top). If you are going to have shelves or cabinets behind, make sure to leave enough room for the presses in front. What type of presses are you going ro be using? Also using same bench for working on guns, bows, etc? Here's a few links that will keep you busy for a few weeks as you go about your plans. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=203122&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1 http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19635&do=findComment&comment=229641 http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2012/01/build-your-own-reloading-bench-with-free-plans/ http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_42/262015_Official_Reloading_Bench_Picture_Thread___Now_with_100__more_Pictures_.html

Where you located at? Would take about half an hour to get set up, teach you how to sweat a joint and get the PRV installed. Likely spend more time BS'ing about hunting than actually working.
-
How high is the water pressure coming in? I could show you how to install a PRV. As a home owner, knowing how to fix your plumbing and soldering are solid skills to have.

Always good to have another brother around. Welcome to the best hunting forum on the webz.

He's in Tucson.

I'll take it. Replied to your pm.

Worse than elk I am pretty sure. Sitting on 2 points for elk and put in for 9 early archery again. Pretty sure those are worse odds, but I may be wrong. Then again, that's how many points I had when I drew it the first time.

It is SPF. If it falls through, I'll add you to next in line.

This is a great small office printer. Unit is about a year and a half old. Used it to print 11x17's, but it will do up to 13x19 from the 2nd tray or 13x44 custom loaded. Two trays to load from, paper feeder for scanning or copying and wireless capability. Still have the box it came in, would need to check the Styrofoam packaging. I know I also have several color cartridges left, but no black. This would be a perfect unit for a small business/office that needed to print on larger paper. This has been my favorite MFC to use, but I have a laser unit at home and I just don't print enough at home to justify an inkjet. Asking $150 with the extra ink cartridges (will list later tonight). Here's a review. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2405915,00.asp
