Cool story guys. I am still a little jealous that you found p-dogs here in Oklahoma. Man,I miss Montana!! Oh well,I'm going out to Idaho and then up to Montana to visit old friends,maybe I'll take my 6.5-284 and try to catch up on some of that stuff. You guys Know any more about that match in...

308 Nate, What stock is that on your rifle? I built one that looks very much like yours with a laminated Black walnut blank that a friend of minr=e glued up for me.I used a 6" block just like the one in the pic. 6.5-284,31"shilen barrel,Remington short action.

Nate, Still interested in the Scope? I put it on my 6.5 x 284 and don't think it'll work for what I need. I shoot free recoil and this one doesn't have enough eye relief,so says my eyebrow!! Anyway- No ring marks as it was nly in aluminum Kelbly rings only fired a few times.

Hello All, I just receieved my new Sightron 6 x24 Mil -dot. I've always used Leupold in the past and thought I'd try something else. Has anyone out there used the Mil-dot version yet? It seems to me that the dots are awfully large...........But then again Ive never used a mil-dot before.The...

Okay, How about 1 question. How do you guys handle the need for more clearance with a barrel block? Will super high rings work?(oops-that was 2 questions).Any help out there???

I live in the Oklahoma City area and know of a few gun ranges around here, but I'm not familiar with the Altus area.I had to move back here after 12 years in the Rocky mountains.I must say that I am more than a little disappointed in the hunting and shooting opportunities here-- by...

Gee Thanks for makin me miss the West even more!! I had to move back here to Oklahoma a coupl'a years ago and haven't stopped kickin myself yet. No muleys,no elk, no antelope, no mountains, not very many places to shoot.AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Hey Can you give us some details on the gun in the pic? Stock in particular? Good-looking rifle! Thanks.

Hey everyone, Sorry its taken so long for me to get back,been hunting and stuff. I called Leupold yesterday and they said the same thing,there should be .015 difference from in thickness at the rear of the base. Said to send it in to their cust svc. dept. Called Midway too and they said send...

Yes it does, in slightly more faint lettering.

Hello all, I just received a Leupold M700 short action "long range" base from Midway. I already have a standard base and When I compare the two I cant see any difference. I checked the dimensions front and rear expecting to see at least some taper compared to the standard base but they measure...

Several of the earlier posts echoed my feelings exactly. About 3 years ago,whenI lived in Montana,I made a 500+ yard shot on a good 4x5 mulie buck.I realize this isn't all that far compared to what you guys are doing,but it was for me at the time.When I(reluctantly) told anyone about it,they...
