I've used a tripod for a shooting support and It's nice for certain situations, But its pretty slow to set up. In my experience it's nowhere near as stable as a bipod. I've never used the one you linked, only the Hog saddle or pig saddle. Clamping your rifle in really helps with stability from...
I have the AGC is well made, but it is to bulky for my taste. I prefer the FHF. My bino's, tags, windicator, and a coyote call are about all you can fit. I Prefer having everything else in my backpack/ belt pouches.
The str8 laced bag is my favorite rear bag, light weight and sturdy. I've used multiple rear bags that are on the market and it's the only one I would take with me backpack hunting. I'm pretty sure she's still in business, I would email her. [email protected]
I would load them to mag length and see how they shoot. In my experience the vlds have shot well jumped to the lands, I wouldn't want them jammed in the lands on a hunting rifle anyway.
How is a FFP scope a detriment to LR hunting? I know there are reasons FFP is not a good choice for F-class, or some of the other shooting sports but I can't think of any negative aspects for LR hunting? I don't think it's necessary either, I just can't think of any reason that with the proper...
I use long bolts with the heads cut off, I also wrap tape around the barrel in two spots to locate everything. I just push it into the bedding epoxy and it stays by itself. I don't put anything on the action to hold it in place. You want to remove enough material that you get epoxy on the sides...
Using the pillars is a carry over from bedding wood stocks, it is done because the wood will compress from tightening the screws. There is no reason to make two points of contact, your aiming for even contact for the entire action. I would just remove a little material and skim bed. I would also...
I use the hornady collet puller, it leaves small marks but they haven't shot any different. I only use the pulls for target shooting though because for some no real reason I don't trust them to always have the same accuracy. As to resizing I've just pulled the de-capping rod and sized as I...
Doesn't the medalist stock have a aluminum bedding block? If it does, it probably just needs a skim bed with devcon or marine-tex. If it doesn't have the block then pillar bedding is the way to go.
Pliny is awesome when it's fresh, there is definitely some other double IPAs on the market that are as good. Ballast point sculpin, Oakshire perfect storm, Knee deep hoptologist, to name a few. The belgians and sours that Russian River produces are amazing and possibly more special than Pliny...
