    Increasing Scope Travel

    I mounted a Credo 2.5x15x42 on a Tikka 7 mag. After zeroing the scope I only have 6.75 MOA of vertical adjustment. I have plenty of room to drop the scope with a different ring and base combination. This will bring the bore center closer to the scope center. Will this increase my vertical...

    Lodging Unit 42 Colorado

    Browning max LR 300 RUM

    I ran across three Browning XBolt Max LR for between 800 and 900 a piece at a local gun shop today. I believe they are Demo models but still looked in great shape. If anyone is interested call Grice Gun Shop in Clearfield PA. They are one of the largest gun shops in the East. Just passing...

    Hornady Interbonds

    I can pick up a couple of boxes of 154 gr 7mm for 52 per 100. Thoughts on comparisons to Accubond. At that cost they are roughly half price. I usually shoot Partitions or Sierra 160 gr BTSP but I would like something tougher with a better BC than a Partition.

    Quick Load Help

    So I bought a magneto speed sporter and finally got to play today. I have an accurate load for my 7 mm RM with 160 gr Sierra but I knew it was slow with only 60.5 of 7828 behind it. I calculated it at 2700 fps with drop data and the new toy confirmed 2681 avg with an sd of 9. It shoots...

    Mesa vs B14 Ridge

    300 Win mag will be the caliber. The B14 Ridge is 700 roughly and comes threaded. Fits well. Has a decent stock. Heavier barrel. Overall heavier by 3/4 lb (a plus for me). The Mesa is 1200 roughly. It is cerakoted, Trigger Tech trigger, smaller barrel contour (con for me), comes with...

    Reloading Question

    So I am starting to reload. I'm working with an older .243 savage to get my feet wet. I measured the COAL by placing a bullet into once fired brass from my rifle. Did the sharpie trick 10 times and averaged out the overall length to be 2.761. Bullet was definitely contacting the lands as...

    Reloading Tikka 7mm Rem Mag

    I want to start reloading but want to see what results may be possible. I now the mag box will limit COAL especially with long/heavy for caliber bullets. I want to reload 160 gr Nosler Partitions to start with and I want this as a hunting load so will not want to single feed it. I want to...

    Benchmade Steep Country vs Kestrel EDC or Short Ovis Hunter

    I'm looking for a use of christmas money. I want a fixed blade knife with 3-4 inch blade in the $100 range. Obviously the weight difference is significant to some but not to me. I want s30vn steel or equivalent so that leaves out esee izula. Any other comparable knives that I should be...

    Meat Shelf Question

    So the definitive argument about meat shelves is that it places weight farther away from your spine. I don't have a pack with this ability so I would like someone to measure for me: If you place the meat in the pack then off your back you would have a frame, the bag fabric, meat and camp (in...

    Rock Climbing Harness Fall

    Didn't want to hijack the other thread so started a new one. I am not debating the safety of any harness or rock climbing vs 5 point style. Also no fall is good. I have never fallen from a tree stand but have had some close calls. My question is for rock climbing harness users. If you have...
