    Leupold vx6 thoughts?

    I bought a VX6HD for a custom light weight 284 Winchester. Zero seemed to wander and now and then a shot was so out of the group I sent the scope back. They said it was fine and sent it back. I still had problems and sent it in again and again leupold said it was okay. I put it on a 22-250 that...

    Best 7 PRC Bullet?

    What do you plan to hunt with it and how far? I’ve killed a few dozen elk with 160 grain Accubonds at normal hunting ranges, out to say 500 yards. I’ve been very impressed with the 180 grain Berger HVLD’s. Took one elk with this bullet at 1098 yards and it mushroomed nicely. Bull staggered down...

    What is your favorite rifle in your arsenal?

    I had a Cooper Custom Classic for around 30 years. It had their straight taper varmint barrel and the model 22 single shot action. Burned several barrels on that rifle. 22-250, it accounted for several thousand prairie dogs, numerous marmots and coyotes. The plague came through eastern Utah...

    McMillan Game Scout

    Its all your guys fault !

    My ELR rifle is about 4’ long. I found a Plano at Cabela’s that fit it. It’s not cheap but it’s also built like a tank.

    What bullet for 300wsm?

    I’ve used 168 grain Barnes TSX and 180 and 200 grain Accubonds to kill quite a few elk. Currently using Berger 215 hybrids at 2815 fps. Not scorching fast but they have been effective on elk as far as 1K+ yards.

    Barrel for a 22 Creed

    I have a custom 22 creedmore being built. Some of my best barrels have been Krieger and Bartlien but I want to shoot the rifle this year. After some research I ordered from ACE barrels. Should be here in another couple months.

    100% Hits to 600 Yards?

    I’m one of those guys with the 17lb hunting rifle set up with all my shooting tools on a flat spot shooting 600-1300 yards across a canyon. I would probably do pretty well with this gun.

    What’s the farthest you have taken a big game animal with a rifle?

    Picked up a Volquartsen 22 mag pistol yesterday to replace the 454 Casull for handgun marmots. Going to try get one at a mile this year with a 300 Norma Improved that’s been shooting half moa at that distance in calm conditions.

    What’s the farthest you have taken a big game animal with a rifle?

    Resolution in that S&B was better than any other scope I’ve owned, better even than my atacr’s.
