7saum or 7wsm. I personally prefer the saum but my first new rifle my dad bought me was a 300 Saum so I’m a little biased.

I mean anything is possible I guess but I have been running them on 5 different rifles 2 of which have been on horseback and hiked with through the Rockies in gunnison and Antonio and have never had an issue. I don’t fold them out until ready to take a shot and they also function without...

Here are a few from flatline ops

There are levels that fold in flush whether it be mounted to a picatinny rail, integrated into top half of scope ring, etc.

As stated earlier at 200 300 whatever it may not matter but at extended ranges it definitely does so where do u draw the line. Also if an extended range shot presents itself and I’m hyped up my shot process is going to go off of muscle memory and I definitely want my bubble level to be a part...

It has become a part of my shooting routine even at 100 yards when sighting the rifle in. I do a lot of bow hunting also and it’s the same thing get on target check the level squeeze off the shot. Literally can be checked in the blink of an eye. To each their own but it is just one less...

Fairly Recently switched to the MEC marksman and have been pleased with the runout ... Area 419 may be in the near future if I can hide the funds for it from the wifey.

This is how my range is setup. 1 MOA and 2 MOA plates.

I have 1/2” plates from 400-1000 in 100 yard increments. I wish I would have gone with 3/8” from 700-1000 bc the 1/2” plates are so heavy they don’t give much swing or much of a sound Honestly I may even try 1/4” at 900 and 1000. All AR 500 steel

I I have a few customs but the 28 Nosler Dallas built me is by far my favorite. Definitely worth the wait.

I am not a gunsmith either but if I’m not mistaken the model 70 has a safety cam with a half moon taken out of one side that allows the trigger to fire. If the safety isn’t working then some material needs to be removed to allow the cam to properly rotate. Make sure the bolt is cocked or u...

I am right handed left eye dominant. Dad made me do everything right handed when I was young or I would have been left handed. For the longest time I shot right handed with my left eye by leaning across the stock and no one told me any better. I now shoot with my non dominant eye but am...

Not trying to start a scope debate or questioning the vortex pst as I have one myself and have it on a hunting rifle That being said it definitely doesn’t seem to be made as durable as my nightforces and wonder if they would have suffered the same fate. iron sight idea is interesting for...

I had the same problem when using an older style chamfering tool. Changed to a k&m controlled depth chamfer and have had much better results. It’s more expensive than other hand held chamfering tools but is well worth it in my opinion.

I have to vote for Dallas lane as well. He built me a 28 nosler and it’s amazing. I’m pretty sure 338 edge is a caliber he does a good bit with great results.
