    WTB Scope

    Minox az 5 hd 3-15x42 On eurooptics for $299. I own one and a viper 4-16. Equally as clear but the reticle is a little thicker than viper Adjustment a little tight
  4. Factory rifle savage 111 with laminated stock and accutrigger Vortex 4-16x44 BDC Not going to dump any money in the rifle. Ive seen it shoot well for years It's truly my hand loading that must be this issue. I'm carful to measure charge and seated bullet depth. So it's just my playing with it some more I intend to use it for over counter bear Oct 2. Have a nice spot with some activity so hoping to dial in for a 300 yrs accurate shot I would think about ladder test but gosh with this heat it could take to long to accomplish waiting for barrel to cool I bought some 4451 imr I'm going to try
  5. Excellent condition scope one inch tube. Pop and turn reticle wind age and elevation adjustment turrets Ebx holdover reticle. Weaver makes very durable scopes and I've compared this to my vx 2 in low light and its a bit brighter and about the same as my vortex viper HS It's on my 11 year olds 243 and he just isn't a fan of the ebx reticle. Too much going on. These ago for between 475 and 650 online Even at Walmart online for $579 Photo is stock. I can post actual later
  6. Thanks Bill I understan about moa being acceptable. My complaint is that factory ammo shot better in this rifle and I've tried a number of powder charges with random results off a rest and also just off a bag Think I'll tinker with seat depth a bit
  7. Not much load data but seems to be like 4350 but better heat tolerance and useful for lots of standars loads I think with out wild heat swings from hit in phx tuc. To cool on the rim for fall hunts this might be a good option Anyone have any luck? They have lots at cabelas

    THOMPSON ICON 300 WIN. MAG SWAROVSKI SCOPE

    For what it's worth I have the cheaper Thompson venture in 243. And it may be a bit heavy but it shoot clovers and eats any ammo I've put in it. The icon should be a great shooter
  10. 100 grn or 80gr on 257wby? I think I'm going to try and load RL 25

    Kaibab Youth hunt

    I've hunted twice with my now older boys and have a tag this year for my 11 yr old Don't stress it to much they speak the truth when they say the deer are all over up there. So are the road hunters and with double the tags it could be interesting I'd spend more time getting your son comfortable shooting then scouting. Then just get off a road a bit and sit tight Good luck and check out the camp it's good people
  12. So I want to try the OCW Dan newberry charge weight shooting technique for load development. My issue is in order to do it correctly and have a cool barrel I will be at the range for 10 hrs Has anyone used a cool towel or any other method to cool a barrel quicker. These are standard non fluted sports #2 contour Shooting 270 win and 30-06 My conern with a towel is that the barrel will cool unevenly and make the harmonics even crazier
  13. I have five boxes of 100 count each box Hornady interlock 130gr SP bullets. Boxes are sealed $20 per box
  14. Sold one box. Down to 4 100 count boxes. $20 each box

    Pointing in the sun methods

    So I have a decent spot but I think I would get better pics if my camera faced south. I would capture my spring and trails leading better. I've heard that facing into the sun makes for bad pics. Should I not try it or is there a way shade the camera so the sun doesn't effect it? It's down in a canyon so it maybe less affected by th e sun

    Pointing in the sun methods

    Yea it's pretty deep in this canyon. I suspect it will ok. At least worth a try. Thx for card and Google suggestions.
  17. Not to pirate this thread but I tried the fired case with a bullet somewhat tight in the neck method. And it was a pretty random result. I was not measuring to the olgive so maybe that's it But here are my readings. Any thoughts on thy so varied 270 win 130 gr hornady sp 3.36.00 3.31.95 3.35.80 3.31.80 3.31.60 3.32.40 3.32.05 3.31.90 I'm either a horrible measure expert or I just need to spend the $30 on the hornady oal and a ogive tool.

    Bear pic

    I guess I'm lucky the bear didn't destroy my camera becuase the camera was all moved around and ended up pointing almost straight down. But I have two separate Bears. One seems sort light brown and one is jet black. Only one decent pic and the others are of the Bears rubbing on the camera. Does the elk look like he is just about to pop spikes?

    Picking out a scope

    Might not be long range bit I was at cabelas today and they had a leupold vx-3L 4.4-14x50 normal duplex for $479. Down from $799 and I used my 10% card I got in the mail this week for at price $431. Smokin deal. They have one left The non L model with a 30 mm tube also rang at $479. But I like the v cut on that 50 mm for a nice med ring fit on my rifle. Just an fyi on a good deal
