Tons of rubs and sign, but didn't see a deer for two days other than a six point that was drug out of the woods by another hunter.

Ill be in Cogan Station for opening day.

Payment received.

A buyer committed to purchasing by money order and said he'd let me know when it went in the mail. I haven't heard from him and am going to check on that today. I'll let you know.

Yup, and the bore wasn't shinny clean when the ladder was started. And I gave 2-4 minutes between shots so the barrel wasn't anything more than barely warm to the touch. Let's discuss those things that need to be taken care of: Savage Model 10 Predator Hunter with the action properly torqued...

They weren't. I can see how that seems possible, but unless my wife or nefarious two year old "helped" me by resorting, I loaded them with increasing charges and they went into the ammo box as I loaded them. I will probably try other powders and/or bullets before setting my load on the minimum...

You mean shoot the same ladder rounds on two separate targets to ensure credibility of the results? I'm not sure what you mean otherwise. I was trying to follow the first step of the ladder test here: Long-Range Load Development Just trying to find the accuracy window to start doing smaller...

Shot my first two ladders today, nothing changed but the powder. Both shot at 300 yards, plotted each shot on a target at the bench indicating the impact with the powder charge for that shot. No signs of excessive pressure for either powder. Rounds were fired at the same aim point with two...

Monopod for rear sling stud with the quick slide for large elevation adjustments. Also has the steel cap for the base. Also has a mounting point for a sling swivel, so you don't lose the ability to carry the rifle with a sling. Cheapest you'll find these new is $70 shipped and that's without the...

Picked up a Savage and some things to go with it and I've got some extras I won't be needing... Savage factory DBM bottom metal for 4.41" short action with trigger guard for top bolt release. I have a factory four round magazine, I know it will work with 308 family cartridges (this rifle is a...

I guess it depends on your target or game. I've never hunted ground hogs in my life, but I don't think I'd have a problem dialing dope for the range and using a hold off/over if necessary.
