I finally got 4166 to group well in my 308. I'm at the bottom end of the load range - 39grs with a 168gr AMAX but it groups well. z

I had the chance to help install one (including the bottom metal) and then shoot it. Very nice, the gun was as accurate as before. The thing I noticed was the action set up higher in the stock - about 1/8". The mags were very nice - easy to load and very smooth when cycling the action. We also...

Bought one and really like it, would like another one...any color ok. Model RS1 or RS2 ok. Thanks, z

Re: seekins 30mm low rings PM sent. thanks z

I'm looking at a new scope for a new gun and am currently using a Bushnell 6500 elite 2.5-16 that I really like. Was wondering how the 6500 would stack up optically against the NF SHV 4-14? I've never seen the NF so would appreciate any direct comparisons. They seemed to be spec'd similarly...

Thanks for the input. I got some 168gr AMAX last night so will try that. I'm stumped so far and feel like I am wasting bullets with this powder...

I've been trying to get IMR4166 to work in my 308. I can get .7moa grips with H4895 & XBR8208 but cannot get 4166 under 2moa. I have tried everything: seating depth in .02 increments over a consistent load, Different loads and different bullets-155grAMAX and 155gr Berger hybrid targets. Has...

Gators work great for kids...check out Outdoor Research running gators in small...they fit well over kids hiking boots.

Well stated Mike. in cold conditions, the stove makes living in the backcountry quite pleasant for all the reasons you listed...I find that I do not get as tired or beat-up due to the convenience offered by a stove. Staying dry, warm, and well hydrated makes cold weather hunting more about the...

I can only tell you my experience with my 12 man tipi and a 4 person Mountain Hardware Kiva. I've been in some rough weather in Colorado and New Mexico and never had an issue with wind or water IF the shelter is pitched and staked properly. I carry a lightweight tarp for a floor and with the...

I know folks who use a sawtooth and it is a comfortable lite weight shelter for 2. For those cold late fall colorado elk hunts, it's hard to beat a 8 or 12 man tipi and stove...

Thank you both!

I am looking for mag/DBM that will allow me to seat my 308 bullets long - 2.9 versus 2.81 and still feed reliablely. I haven't brought a stock/DBM yet so am hoping to find a combo that will allow this in my rem700 SA. Thanks! z

I went with the 2c as I thought it was somewhat thinner at max mag than the ebr-1. So far I really like it. z
