    Scope recommendations for Prairie Dogs

    Shooting on the Rez is not for everyone. Legality issues, its the government, if you hadnt noticed. Watch out for frauds, "if you are with me its ok" not a fact.

    Leupold Scope Warranty Service

    In helping with an estate a dozen years ago, purchased poorly maintained Remington 700 in .243 and Savage 22LR both had Leupold scopes. (Local pawn shop had offered 50 and 20 bucks respectively.) I was not unkind with my fair market value given. The granddaughter said Gee-Pops complained he...

    Cartridge poll for curiosity

    Entry level ELR competition Now 6.5 CR (due to availability & recoil) Up & coming 6ARC &or 6PRC If you do not have places to shoot 500 yards & greater and want training, then 22LR (beware this is a rabbit hole & may not have an escape route)

    Scope rings

    Scope height (center of bore to centerline of scope), distance between rings, clearance if you have a long scope and sun shield, cant angle - moa of rail, etc...all tied together. Remember top of EL adjustment lowers scope to barrel bore. Bottom is up and top is down LoL

    Scope rings

    Burris XTR Signature rings are truly handy for 22LR ELR. At ranges in excess of 300 yards for the diminutive 22LR and to get the most out of EL dial and reticle hash markings, the ability to utilize more than just half your scope's elevation is most handy by adding MOA cant to rail plus 0 to 40...

    Are people liking the Strike Eagle 3-18

    One of two Strike Eagle 5-25 with EBR-2C reticles is mounted on a CZ457 in 22LR with 50 (actual 47) moa by 30moa rail/20 moa Burris XTR. Without zero stops it dials to 500 yards from a 25 or 50 yard zero & beyond with dial & holdover. The other SE is on a 308 gas gun and does its job. Also have...

    New info on Chronic Wasting Disease

    Is this similar to the 1959 cranberry scare? It was reported that cranberries caused cancer, so Thanksgiving and Christmas 1959 millions of cranberries were destroyed. It turned out yes, there was a small percentage of something in cranberries; however, you had to eat 2200 tons a day for 20...

    Help me decide which 22LR bolt action

    My CZ457 22LR likes SK ammo even Standard plus. As well as Wolf Match & Extra match better but harder to find in USA. In testing ammo, be sure to fire at least 5 to 10 rounds to season chamber after cleaning or between brands BEFORE accessing accuracy. Bullet coating is too often different even...

    Savage .223 / 20 Ga see-thru mounts under a light weight scope like Leopold fixed 6 power. Pros: Can shoot slugs (rifled preferred) Can shoot 5.56 in a pinch Can use open sights as needed

    Luckiest Shot You Ever Made

    During my 3rd tour in Germany, as a licensed Jäger (hunter), at winter Jäger competition, I loaned my 222Rem to a Jägermeister to use instead of his triple barrel 2x16 ga Shotgun & 97x something cannon/rifle Drilling. Cursing because he had never gotten more than a bronze score in 30 years with...

    Savage 110 short action aftermarket options for stocks?

    In changing stocks and action screws, pay particular attention to length and depth of screw channel. I put an after market stock Bravo on a Tikka T1x 22LR and my accuracy was gone? It turned out the action screw would compress the material of the new stock and tighten against the barrel. Two...
