    ISO Dog Rattle Snake Training

  2. Gotcha. Another thing to consider (doesn't mean it will work) is snipping one coil off the extractor spring. If it is really throwing cases, possibly a little weaker grip on the rim might give you enough clearance but still keep positive extraction. I don't know if it would be possible to do a little light grinding on the ejector which might change the angle the cases are following. Sounds like your plan should make the problem go away. Nice rifle. Set up right. Bet it is a long-range hammer with a good barrel.
  3. I was thinking why not just remove the windage knob and use the hash marks for hold-off. But with 2fp you can only do that at highest power for true MOA hold. Nice scope however. You must be in shape to lug that outfit up and down the hills. Did you shoot the barrel out on your Sako? How many rounds did that take?

    SOLD

    Final price drop - $9,4,00.00 and you provide mattress (designed for queen size, but we have been using full for a little more room). Guys keep in mind that on a fully-guided hunt, you can save a TON of $$ if you provide your own accommodations and grub. And the guide will appreciate a break from the client! This includes WDH and RV cover.

    Question

    We are all tired of the ammo scalpers by now. Many of them may not realize it, but they have permanently lost business from guys who will remember them when prices finally get back to normal (more or less). PM sent.

    Older shotgun help

    A good all-around gunsmith could diagnose and fix, but even if you could find one, they probably would not want to do it, as the cost of the work would be high. You might try a shim using credit card material or moleskin or etc. to see if you could ease it open without it seizing up on you. Work through it with different materials. You might be able to find a spacer/shim that will restore most of normal function. Kind of rube-goldberg, but it may work.

    My Best Trail Camera Spot

    Thanks for posting this! It is a great hobby. The vid. and sound quality are really good. Just so I understand, to allow high res. capture of the subject at night, the camera is using passive IR, is that correct? Is that easier on your battery than standard visible light? As I understand, there is a dim red glow when using IR, some animals are more attracted to it than others, but it apparently doesn't really bother them. These cams apparently have a photo cell which disables the nighttime IR mode, when enough visible light becomes available, is that correct? Good stuff right there.

  18. Frankford Arsenal, M72 (?) w/ 173 gr. boattail bullet. Arsenal match ammo and brass is known to be very good. I think that is late enough that it is not corrosive primed, but you may want to google it to confirm. Nice thing about arsenal brass is it uses conventional primers, not crimped. Good stuff for handloaders. If you decide to shoot it for accuracy, what the old-timers used to do was run each round into a FL die with seating depth just low enough to crack the seal around the mouth of the case. Arsenal match ammo is meant to have a LONG shelf life. It will shoot just fine out of M1 Garands, in fact, if you know of anyone with a match-conditioned Garand, they might want it. But it is also good, accurate, blasting ammo out of any '06. Pressure is low. Velocity should be around 2,640. I have shot hundreds of rounds of it in competition, including 1000 yd. If you are sure it is reloaded ammo, disregard above, but brass is still good. You might pull a bullet and weigh the powder, just to have that info. IMR 4895 was popular in those days.

    Cable stop alignment

    Man that is WAY out of alignment. Let us know what you find. It could be hole in riser drilled off-center, limb or limbs twisted, limb bolt holes in riser off-center, brackets and holes for cams out of alignment, who knows. Have you contacted Bowtech?
