I forgot my range finder once, it was the one and only time i could have used it. Turned an opening morning ram into a day 7 ram, which looking back im glad I forgot it, but at the time I was sure pissed lol.
Iv read quite a bit that poured pillars are just as good. As long as theirs no air pockets, I wouldn’t hesitate if I was keeping it on the budget side.
On that note, score high’s adjustable pillars are gems to use.
Iv bought a few Sitka rain shells/pants, all in good or new w/o tags condition.
I tore the zipper off my cloudburst pant I bought used, Sitka sent me a new pair (actually 2) free of charge.
Excellent stuff!! A big cheers to you for jumping into the art!! Your cartridge choice, is my all time favourite!!
You sound like a man with a plan, you’re going to nail this!! Looking forward to following!
I think this is the only place Iv seen the whole big vs small debate. Anywhere else (Canadian here), seems people just run what they got and nobody bats an eye over it.
I’m still trying to figure out, when did people start dropping their rifles so much that optics have become an issue?
Never dropped a rifle, never had a scope issue, surprise surprise.
I’m just doing some load stuff for a friends .280ai and R23. I tried 143gr hammers but didn’t get anything to exciting (only used R23). The rifle does seem to like the 145gr LRX’s though. I made a couple groups of 3 at the 58gr mark, .030” off and .050” off, 24” 1-8 twist barrel.

I love my canoe, couldn’t imagine not owning one. Something I do find though is a sore back if I’m in it to long, but could be due to the 30 year old seats in it lol. I always assumed a kayak would be worse for comfort, but Iv never sat in one to know for sure.
Our district is called “the...
Unfortunately Iv been so busy, I haven’t had any time to dive into checkering this stock yet, if I end up keeping this rifle, I think I will send it off for checkering before sheep season.
There is a fellow here in Canada who just started building a titanium CRF action and is building light...
You’ve done a fine job right here!! What would this rifle be?? I can’t say I recognize it.
I really like the colour and finish you got there on that stock, and the sling adapter, looks very tidy and neat too!!
I did a mess up on my stock here in my learning process. I drilled the hole...
I have an old 1910 mannlicher in 9.5x57 that I use a lot. It sucks fit wise as I shoot left handed, but can’t help but feel my long gone grandads presence when I pack it.
An interesting family piece here. It’s a single shot .22, Winchester I believe. My grandad built it for my dad in 1952 when he was a wee boy, then re stocked it for him as an older wee boy.
This setup has been through 9 different kids on the family in the past 70+ years.
Last year my...
