    South Dakotans! Where you at?

    What are the odds? Well I would be her friend, Chad. I'm sure you heard of me, but I'm not positive that's a good thing. Well good luck. Hopefully most of the corn is off down there so you can actually find the sneaky critters.

    Weaver Super Slam

    I run a 4-16 v16 on my fairly stock 22-250 Ruger M77 mark II. It tracks well at the distances I shoot, and always returns to zero. The light transmission is crap on higher powers and weigh as much as a warm up bat, but that doesn't bother me, most of the time. :rolleyes: My buddy runs one...

    Barrel length quwstion?

    Chad from South Dakota

    Hey guys, Thanks for every thing you have done with this site before I got here. The stickies and articles are easily the best I have found on any forum. I think I pretty much read them all, so I figured now would be a good time to introduce myself. I'm a farm kid born and raised, my home...
