I waited til the last minute to find some decent rabbit hunting area outside of Colorado Springs. We will be going in the direction around Wilkerson Pass. Anybody from around my area that has any 1 day rabbit hunting area suggestions? Thanks Steve

The Personal Locator Beacon - PLB topic was brought up and even though never saw the need for one in our elk hunts in the past it is now a far reaching maybe. I am wondering if many others have purchased a PLB. Seeing the costs and the yearly subscriptions, and yes the unexpected can happen, is...

Not trying to start an arguement. Just my thoughts. I think the PST Viper model might make it out to and past 1000 but I question the ability to get the 4-16x50 HS model to 1000 without a rail and with a rail it is going to be very very close. I have two 4x16x50 HS and my 338 win mag would...

Range Update The Minox has been correctly repaired and performed well at the range. I am a happy Minox owner. 338winmag

I received my Minox 4-20x50mm yesterday. I have a number of comments that might help assist others in their scope decisions. In Paluke's original post he mentioned this: " I hope they take care of their scope issues because their CS alone is enough reason to buy Minox." I cannot agree more...

I have had great service with Vortex and I luv my two Viper HS 4-16x50's. Easy eyebox, great eye relief, super clear glass, turrents are just fine for my hunting needs, and handles my 338 win mag loads with ease. I had one issue and Vortex jumped in and took care of it immediately. I took a...

Minox Customer Service is very professonal and polite. They respond to both emails and phone calls so that is a plus. That can sometimes make the difference as long as the rest of the product performs an equal follow up. "The jury is still out" here and I might be feeling a bit different...

H4831sc is advertised as temp insensitive. I will admit I do drink some of the "kool-aid" regarding this claim but not really sure how valid it is. I use this powder in 3 rifles but mainly for the purpose of consistent FPS and very low ES. Having said that, the claims are that it is tested up...

I seek to get 3/4 MOA or better at 200 yards for all my hunting rifles. I do not turn any of my caliber necks but otherwise very precise on brass prep and load prep. I do not cull any brass unless they are not worthy of firing. (Some cull because of weight variances) I do though separate brass...

Well.................. I am usually the one to not agree with the masses if I belief "someone is encouraging others to drink Koolaid". I wanted to respectfully dissect your post but decided rather to just touch on this "coming out of the barrel at LEAST 3,000fps to even stabilize" statement...

The 150 gr partition is the primary go to round for this rifle. But I want a secondary round and wanted some comments on Sierra and Hornadys. If I could get some 160 gr NAB seconds, then I would go there. Thanks all 338winmag

Hunting Colorado Mule Deer and Elk. I am using my 7mm Rem Mag as a backup rifle only and already have excellent 150 gr Nolser Partition loads but wanted one other nice hunting load. In the past with another 7mm Rem Mag, I had pressure issues with the Sierra 160 gr gameking but that could just...

Hi John, In the beginning of my reloading I purchased a few expensive dies. I decided to try the Lee Collet neck sizing die set. I've never looked back. If they have the deluxe set in the caliber you want, I recommend that. If not, get the collet dies set and a Redding body die to bump the...

I wrote a different reply but decided to retract. I did not take it anywhere other than your intension of open forum. Let me see. the title Are You a Victim of Marketing.. implies exactly what you got for replies.. Then you state "This thread may get controlversial, people will probably get...

I concur.... from my 11th grade economics class up to this day, I will not buy the koolaid of economic "supply and demand" which really just jacks the artificial price of a product, not will I ever buy into "whatever the market will bare" be anything more than customer extortion. :rolleyes...
