Nothing?

I am thinking about redoing my optics in the off season. The two ways that I can go are to purchase a Leica Geovid 10x42 HD B or to purchase a Leica 10x42 Ultravid HD and a G7 Rangefinder. I rifle hunt and bowhunt mostly in the east (LA, MS, KY) but I have hunted out west as well as Canada and...

OBO

I have for sale a new McMillan A-5 stock in olive with the integral thumbscrew adjustable cheek piece and two swivel studs. It is inleted for a short Remington 700 action and appears to be for BDL bottom metal. $750 shipped. Contact me for pictures. [email protected] Dan

What does it weigh?

If his brother has to shoot deer multiple times with a 130 gr .270, he needs to learn to shoot better. A well placed 130 gr .270 of decent construction will take any whitetail or mule deer in the country. When I shot a .270, I used 55.0 gr IMR 4350 under a 130 partition; but the same load...

Where can you trade them in for $1650?

I've been shooting a .280 with 140s for quite a while and IMR 4350 has been my go to powder. I recently re barreled my rifle and began experimenting with RL 19. I am getting excellent accuracy and velocity. 60.0 gr of RL 19 under a 140 Accubond gives me 3120 fps. A note of caution - the chamber...

Yes. I am absolutely convinced that it works. It isn't a guarantee that you won't get busted, but as long as it is pointed downwind, you will likely avoid detection. The deer may stop and start smelling the air like something isn't right, but they do not seem to be able to identify the human...

What load were you shooting? Please include OAL and how far you are off/into the lands. Also, if you know what reamer was used, what is the freebore? Thanks Dan

If anyone is looking for any, I have a friend with 10 boxes. Let me know and I give you his information. Dan

What kind of jump are you using?

What load were you using in the .280? OAL? Velocity? Thanks Dan

When it was time to re barrel my .280, I went with another .280. One thing that I did, however, was to have PTG grind a reamer to my specification. A 140 gr accubond at 3.415" OAL doesn't go below the neck/shoulder junction. 60.0 gr of RL 19 gives 3120 fps with the 140 in a 24" Bartlein barrel...
