I just put one on a 17 hornet. Sig Whiskey 4-12x40 I believe. For the price I'm not unhappy. Decent glass & turret's reset to zero, haven't played with tracking much yet though.

You can beat the Ruger to death and it will still work!

I would keep the charge the same and load several 3 shot groups at different lengths.

I would highly recommend getting a Ruger instead. Both heritage pistols I've shot had the cylinders out of time and shot lead fragments out from between the cylinder & barrel. Powder would blacken your hand also.

If you want it to keep a heavy recoiling rifle from beating you up they are awesome. If your just wanting a rock solid rest a good bipod and rear bag is better.

Depends on what you want to do with it for a deer load 100 gr Swift Scirocco over Rl-22 in Nosler brass and fed 210 primers. I've done well with the 117 Hornady SST, and 115 Nosler Ballistic tip also.

I've seen the old vx-6 3-18x50 non hds for under 1000 in a couple places. Decent glass for the price. I also had the vx-3i 6.5-20x50 the parallax adjustment wasn't all it could be. If it were my choice I would save a couple hundred more $ and go with a Swaro Z5 5-25, Ziess conquest Hd 5 5-25, or a Leica Er5 4-20.

I would find the cheapest used rifle in whatever caliber it happens to be and buy the best scope he can possibly afford. I've seen a few howa's for around $275. On the scope I wouldn't consider anything under like a Ziess Terra, Leupold Vx-3 in 3-9 to 4-12. Caliber would be the last thing I would consider so long as you pick one that has good ammo selection, between 6.5 & 30 Cal.

Only reason we used the rifle load combo on that hunt was my brothers 6.5-300 wby decided to badly misbehave. Went from shooting 3/4 moa to minute of hillside. I've never really had alot of interest in the Berger hunting bullets mainly because of their own advertising. Sheds 40% to 90% of it's weight didn't sound very reliable to me. Sounds alot like may explode and may not. My go to hunting bullet is the Swift Scirocco II. The few I've recovered from animals have all expanded over 2 1/2 x the original diameter while retaining 80% to 90% of their weight. With the exception one fairly poorly placed bullet on a cow elk everything hit has crumbled in it's tracks. The cow was hit in the liver and made it about 50 yds and crashed. Ive used Barnes tsx & ttsx, Nosler partition, Hornady sst, Remington core lok, and a few other with less than satisfactory results or out right failures, but have zero complaints on the Swift

Only Berger I've ever seen used was a 80 gr Vld target fired from my 22-250 AI started at 3420 fps. 590 yd shot the bullet exited and looked like a 4x4 would fit in the wound channel.

Norma loads the 130 Scirocco for the Creedmoor.

The 6.5 would not be my first choice, but if your choices are a 6.5 he's comfortable behind or a 300 he's not go with the 6.5. The bullet I would go with would be the 130 Swift Scirocco. They work! I've used them on game out to 700 yds and recovered them from wet newspaper at 1000 yds they always open, expand 2.5x, and retain 70 to 90% weight. The BC isn't bad either .570 ish I believe.

It sucks that you lost out on your trip and for a reason that you had no control over, but it wasn't their fault either. May not seem fair for you to have pay for a trip you didn't get, but no less fair than their business eating the entire bill for something that wasn't their fault. In your rant you said they were only concerned about money. Well what did you lose besides money? You traded some money for a chance to protect your kids. Doesn't sound like a bad trade to me!

Just had a 2013 Cummins that kept doing the same thing. Dealer reset it a few times and said I had bad Def. It got more common till I couldn't get 100 miles from the dealership before it would be going in to limp mode again. They put some sensor in it and it did it again. They ended up replacing the Def pump. Seems to have worked. Something about not pumping consistent pressure and making bubbles in the fluid or some crap.

If you check pressure is absolute then it cancels out the other information. I use the reading from my 1600B and has been spot on.

I'm working out of state found out about it 4 hrs before it went up.

It turned my collection of custom rifles into a whole bunch of barreled actions. Looks like elk camp will be a little more basic this year.

Last time I was in Delores the park in town had some killer small mouth fishing then I've done really well on trout in the west fork.

I've quit a couple dozen pretty good jobs just cause it was hunting season! Don't know that I've ever taken a job that wasn't better than the last.

Exactly what Lance said! The 9 to 13 would be great off the bench but it can be pretty tough to find a spot to shoot from when you have rocks, grass, and bushes in the way.

I use a SKB Quad scoped rifle case. I've fit 3 scoped rifles, a shotgun, a pistol, a pair of binoculars, and a few hundred rounds of ammo in it going to Alaska. Everything always got there intact. TSA has managed to break a lock or two off of it, but SKB is absolutely awesome about getting them replaced. I would receive new ones in 3 to 4 days in a little village in western Alaska that overnight mail typically takes over a week.

Of the rifles you were considering the CDL would have been my top pick.

How fast did you get it to go?
