    New info on Chronic Wasting Disease

    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...

    Wax-in your blueing, along with your wood. Weather Protection.

    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...

    Best scopes for $1500 to $2000?

    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?

    Best scopes for $1500 to $2000?

    That price is fantastic. EuroOptic is hard to beat. At 30 oz, though might be heavy for your taste.

    Best scopes for $1500 to $2000?

    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...

    Tangent Theta vs ZCO vs Schmidt vs Kahles

    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...

    What is the most hated deer rifle you owned ?

    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...

    What is the most hated deer rifle you owned ?

    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...

    What are the last 3 rifles you sold and why?

    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.

    What is the most hated deer rifle you owned ?

    Wow, amazed and sorry to hear that. Ogled over one at one point, but entry price was wayyyy high. Was the geometry wrong?
