    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    In post 17, you shared Talley's advice where they "highly advise against lapping their rings" In post 26 you state "Yes I recommend lapping". So does Talley not have any idea what they are talking about? Are they providing bad or unreliable advice?

    Bartlein or benchmark cfw barrel

    I have a Bartlein carbon, it shoots really well. The gunsmith that built my gun would only use Bartlein, due to problems with other carbons. His theory, Bartlein uses a larger barrel before wrapping, causing less distortion from wrapping. Based on your question, use a Bartlein if you want a good...

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    So why do you loctite your bases? To keep them from coming loose? And why don't you loctite your rings? You don't care if they come loose?

    Official Montana 2024 Draw Thread

    Oh it's way worse than that. They have only had this system of points for elk, 22 years. I have put in for that area since it's inception- 36 years I think. Everybody I know has had that tag and a few have had it twice. Then there is goat and sheep- been putting in 48 years. I get to spend a lot...

    They shut it down while they are doing the draw. Kinda like when they shut down the highway while they are paving it.

    2011's stacattos and others

    If a 1911/2011 doesn't feel good in your hands, well I just don't comprehend how that happens! :ROFLMAO: But good luck with your search. I haven't ever seen one in a gun store, but I don't travel too far.

    Trapping coyotes... any suggestions

    The ranch I hunt Whitetails on, we have been shooting & trapping coyotes over 20 years as have the neighbors. We get dozens of them each year, and shoot them year around. I shoot 1 or 2 every year from my tree stands with my bow. There are just as many coyotes as there were 20 years ago.

    .44 mag bullet that will handle 2000 fps

    That one is for 444 Marlins. They make one for 44 Mag. It has a small hollow point, but they only expand to bullet diameter. So they penetrate like a hard cast bullet. I have shot some out of my Henry. They shoot very well, but I haven't shot any game with them. 44 Mag bullet...

    Bighorn Origin Ejector removal

    Put some Kroil or Liquid wrench etc. on the screw and let it soak. Last week I had a small one that wouldn't budge. Soaked it overnight and it came right out. Also a Bondhus hex screw driver works very well for these...

    What do you run in your elk pack???

    Why do you call it a day pack if you stay out overnight expectantly?

    Water heater installation cost in mtn west

    Go buy a water heater and call me. In 30 minutes I will talk you through it. I have changed 10 of them and I am not a plummer. All this talk of crap in your lines etc. is nonsense. Make sure the vent/gas line/water hookups look like the old one and done. The hardest part is hauling the heavy old...

    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    My "exhibit A" would be Leupold- LOTS of negative ink spilled on them, and they are still selling a lot of scopes. And there are many more examples out there. I agree that these companies need to do a lot better job. But I like to see these nonbiased reviews that Form does. It should cause...

    Probably because of supply and demand. There is a LOT of Lake City brass out there, that is cheap and really good.
