Correct. The"link" that CWD shares with these other diseases is that they are caused by prions that live inside the brain and spinal nerve tissue and fluid.
BSE/MadCow is transmittable to humans from bovines from consumption of animal. CWD had not made that jump to humans. Cases of BSE are...
Remington 700 PSS 20" in .308, 1:11.25, Pro700 stock, SB PMII, Timney Red 2 stage, SilencerCo Harvester 300. Badger rings and rail. A .3 moa shooter. Retired from competition, now re-packaged for hunting pursuits.
I have been adding beeswax to my mineral spirit / tung oil finish used on several stocks. The top coat is approx. 5% beeswax by volume. Heating/dissolving the wax on a double boiler, storing in a warm spot and using within several days keeps the wax fluid. I don't think I would wax blued...
I don't own a Nightforce, but when I saw the 2.5-20 range, I had to look. Seems that the mounting limitations due to turret to objective spacing is a limiting step. What are the eye box concerns?
Hi Huck - I just went through a similar decision. I sold my PMII 5-25 as I no longer shoot PRS. I was looking for a 1FP, 3-18x range scope better suited to hunting, 1K+ capable, and not to exceed $2K. I looked through and shot many, searched forums (incl. LRH) and read many reviews before...
Can't touch most of the comments here for coverage of all your choices. @lancetkenyon, I'd love to have your perspective - that is a lineup!
I worked over a Schmidt Bender 5-25 for three seasons straight of PRS shooting as well as recreational shooting with my son and a few long range western...
Mausers at the end of the produce aisle - that's awesome - and $20. Here in Northern VA things have changed A LOT since I bought a Chinese SKS off the rack at the Tyson's Corner Center Woolworth's in the 80s for $89. In the later 80s, several friends and I scored fine condition 1931 Moisin...
That makes a difference. I have a semi-custom (spec-ed by Sniper Country PX a few years back for a limited run) Remington 700 that has an M24 contour barrel, added a chassis and SB 5-25x56, Harvester 300 can, bipod and DBM for shooting PRS - 12.75 lbs loaded. .3-.5MOA all-day and felt like a...
Remington 7400 .30-06 - Way flashy and inaccurate.
Armalite AR15 A2 - Traded on for a .20 ga Browning Citori Upland Special
Dan Wesson Bruin .45 - A most accurate handgun. An AD quickly turned me off SA pistols and away it went.
