Thanks guys for all the input .Tonight I pulled out an old Winchester 22 lr pump ( it's the shortest stocked rifle I have) and let my granddaughter shoulder it. It seems the left handed side was more comfortable. I think I'll go left ( but not in poltics! ) Thanks Mike

Hi guys: I thought I would stop by and pose this question. My granddaughter is seven years old and has been shooting a pellet rifle with me. She is right handed but left eye dominint. I plan to buy her a 22 lr ( aCrickett or a Chipmunck ) for Chrismas. Should I get her a left handed rifle and...

MT. First off there are no dumb questions and I too am learning as I go. Weighing the brass?, yes your going to get a greater velocity spread if you test 5 of the heaviest and 5 of the lightest pieces of brass together than you would if you used 10 of the same weight. A good neck turner? I have...

I had a 220 swift that after bedding and a trigger tune up it would group about 1 1\4". I read an article in Varmint Hunter Magazine and weighed my brass and turned the necks very LIGHTLY. I turned them so I was only taking about 60-70% off. The groups shrunk to around 1\2". With 300 win. brass...

I have a TC bore guide. It's made out of hard ....nylon? Works great on my Encore. I got mine from the Woodchuck Den for $9.75. 330-897-0614. I don't know all the sizes they make or if it would work with the Ruger #1. You can call Todd, he'll know. Mike

I'm also looking at getting A Tikka T3 in either 260 or 6.5x55. The jury is still out. One interesting thing I found out is that on the Tikka website under data table they list the 260 as having a 1 in 9" twist and the Swede a 1 in 8"" twist. Mike

I killed a blacktail buck a few years back using 125 gr. BTs in my 30-06. It was about 200 yds with just about a perfect broadside shot. He stumbled forward and that was it. The bullet went in,did its magic, and exited with about a quarter size hole. I stopped using them because my imagination...

Clark; I've trailered, launched and loaded boats over 40 years. I've been lucky enough to own 9 boats through the years. I fished out of Humboldt Bay Ca. for several years. I must admit reluctantly and with some embarrassment I'm getting older and have some health issues. The drift boat I have...

Thanks everyone for all your replies. Boomtube; I really enjoyed your reply, in fact I had a good laugh. I wish you were here, we could change the " I've never known anyone" to I've only known one person..... I've got a Chevy 4x4 double cab that I'm going to have to replace one of these days...

I've never had or used a chronograph. I'm going to buy one. I woulld like your opinion -input- recomendations on this. I don't think I need anything elabarate. Just something that will let me know what speeds I'm dealing with. Thanks Mike

lever-hed; I would try a search--- 25-06, 110, or 110 accubond etc. There's alot of good information on this site. Mike

For what round? 257 rob or 25-06 0r?? Mike

We took the bolt to Capital sports-Helena, Mt. this morning. Arnold (the gunsmith) had it finished this afternoon. Good people. We're going hunting in the morning. Thanks Mike

My best buddy just came out here to Montana to hunt with me for a week or two. Wed he got a nice four point buck. Today he started to close the bolt on his 700 7mm, ( Elk) when the handle fell off! His Dad bought this rifle in the early to mid 70's. It's seen lots of use but not abuse. It looks...

It's a CZ-550. I had it rebarreled with a Lawton , 24" 9 twist so I could shoot 130 gr. Wildcat bullets. Mike
