    Kirby Allen

    I shot you an email a minute ago. In your area tomorrow and maybe we can meet up. I'll be in Lincoln tonight, then on up and back over to Troy the next night, then back to Cour D' Alene until Tuesday when we head back to Alaska.

    NF NXS prices...

    Kirby, They have the 5.5-22 NXS for $1250 up here locally. $1150 sounds like a real good price.

    Altitude vs. Barometric pressure

    Michael, I run some numbers for a guy there in Florida a couple years ago, as he was heading to Colorado hunting and I stumbled upon the same head scratching issue you did. I've Never called Jim to ask him about it simply because It was a 10,000 foot change and I didn't anticipate having to...

    500 yard group

    Typical of how this rig performs once it was broken in good.

    500 yard group

    Frank, Respectfully, I'm not a bullshitter but rather deal in factual data. I do however concede to having not shot those groups under the conditions you gentlemen might find in competition, as the conditions were of "my" choosing... kinda-sorta. Well, there were pretty good conditions when I...

    500 yard group

    Hey buddy, long time! I'll hook up with you some time, no sweat on the disk either. And thanks for the program, can't imagine you made it even better, but COOL! I'm over working in Nome again this season and won't be back for a while but, I'll look you up when I do get back to town. I'm living...

    500 yard group

    It is possible, I have done it... less than an inch at 500. It wasn't luck and the rig shoots bugholes in good conditions. Testing for drop I fired a group at 300, 400 and 500 yards (3 shots) consecutively and groups were (at 300 I forget???) but about 1.1" at 400 and .980" at 500. The 300 yard...

    Pamela Anderson: Grand Marshall for Nextel Cup Race

    PA has influence whether we like it or not, and her perception of reality "is" magnified to the public by this or the like(as is any other Hollywood idol), and NASCAR proping her up makes a fool of them, in our eyes, if you follow/support NASCAR, it does you too. That's just the way it is, like...

    Swarovski Range Finder?????????

    [ QUOTE ] the ones we have at our store are a monocular eye piece with a binocular objective end, [/ QUOTE ] That's kind of why I hope the Geovid has a little added performance in laser range, it would replace my Leica 10x42 but I'd gain the combined rangefinder. Wish they'd stick the...

    Swarovski Range Finder?????????

    Kirby, Len uses the Leica's Laser Locator Plus and I beleive he got his for $6100 - $6900, somewhere in that range. It's basically the civilian Vector IV. It, the Vector and the Riegl FG21-LR are basically in the same class and price range, i.e. 6-10K and all are easily +2000 yard capable in...

    First groups with 6.5-284 LSR

    When the temerature drops it's ability to hold water is reduced thus the percent humidity goes up, something like it doubles for a 10 degree drop in temp I think it is. What you "may" be seeing is a drop in temp let's 'em go unstable? I've never seen anyone do much of a test on the effects of...

    .338 SMK 300gr. length?

    [ QUOTE ] Tell me more about this Wyatt box. WOuld it fit on a Rem 700? Does it come with a follower? How much coin? [/ QUOTE ] It will require machining the rear of the mag well all the way back to the rear of the middle gaurd screw hole when using Wyatt's real long box. Ejection port...

    Swarovski Range Finder?????????

    Ian, Were you comparing the Geovid to the Swarovski there, or the Leica 1200 scan? I am really wondering if they just integrated the same laser into the Geovid or it has a little advantage over the 1200 model like one would hope. You said sub 1000 dollar units so I assume you've been comparing...

    .338 SMK 300gr. length?

    3six, FYI my Dad used a 3 groove 10 twist Pac-Nor for his 338/300 WSM throated for the 300gr SMK and it's about the best bullet shot out of it. That's at about 2500 fps. I haven't even looked at the stability issue as I'm sure you have but, I will say that the 300 is still stable 100-300 yards...
