    Feelings vs pragmatism

    My brother(deceased) left me a few rifles One is a 700 bdl 270 with factory dbm ( no feed lips on action). I have no use for a 270 so I can send it down the road or build something more useful. Accurate has 3 round AIC mags so I could do something that would fit in a scabbard. The pragmatist...

    Orthodics

    The superfeet ain't cutting it anymore and I need some better orthotics. For those that use prescribed custom molded orthodics in their boots any issues? I am thinking of things like sliding around in the boot, changes in fit, etc. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Diagnose this.

    So... Have just started working on this Sako. Factory corelocs usually shoot middling in most guns 180 grain 06 in this case. This is an 8 shot group with barrel kept cool. Any ideas on the two high shots (1,5) the low one is on me for sure. In a 5 to 10 shot group I'll always one or two...

    tikka t3 rebarrel options.

    Nosler 300 WM brass

    Anyone have any problems. Been good in 280 AI but have a batch 300 WM of that needs a big shoulder bump after single firings with moderate loads. Will see how primer pockets are after 3rd firing. Hornady factory reload brass no problem. Have ADG brass I can try but have been hoarding it.

    300 WM powder

    Anyone try RL 23 with 300 accubonds or ELDX? Looks like it should work well as a substitute for RL22 but would like some feedback from those who have tried it. Also have to try H4831(always seems slow) and H1000 (looks like it would be highly compressed with mag box length of 3.47)

    Colorado Unit 26

    Anyone rifle hunted this unit before? Topography, herd health, etc. Hunt success does not look real good on the CO website. Thanks

    where have all the accubonds gone?

    Does anyone know of a local shop that might have 7mm 160 grain accubonds in stock or know when Nosler will be shipping another batch? Everyone seems to be out of stock. I don't want to find a new bullet and work up a new load but if I am going to need to I need to get started? Thanks

    Well if this isn't a pain. 5th metatarsal fracture

    Out for a light run this morning, right foot came on small rock and rolled my ankle. Well... The ankle is just fine but I broke a chunk of the outside proximal part of the 5th metarsal off. Looks like the attachment on the outside foot bone went instead of the tendon. Minimum of 4 weeks...

    spotting scope advise

    I am not real up on optics so will humbly ask for suggestions. Practically, how much would you give up going from an 80mm down to 60 or 65mm in good or top end glass? If I were carrying it on my back a long way then a Nikon or Vortex 50 seems like it would be the ticket. This would be for...
