Got some good bear shots on my camera while I was away to AFG. Have a large 12 volt battery on the tree and the battery lasted over 6 months. Help me guess the weight on the largest bear? The railroad ties on that target are 4' high. Northern Wisconsin, Ashland County near Cayuga.

L.I.D., Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking they'll have to be long. Do you remember how far off the lands you were with those 300's? Not sure on this, but does the 110 & 111 LRH hunter use the same barrel/chamber? Anyone know? Seems like more folks here have the 110 than the 111 LRH and am just...

Has anyone shot the Berger Tactical 300 hybrid open tip match bullets? If so, what kind of jump is working best for you? These bullets have a G1 BC of .818 (G7 of .419) compared to the 300 SMK's which have a .768 G1. Just bought a Savage 111 LRH in .338 and am planning my loading now as I...

By far the most comfortable and best performing boot I've ever worn is the Zamberlan Steep GT. Just finished a climb of Kilimanjaro with them in March and they worked well all the way from the tropical jungle at 5,000 feet to over 19,000 feet with below 0 temps. This was a roundtrip climb of...

Sorry but I am confused with something and hope someone can assist. When checking to ensure the bullet is seated straight with the gauge, if tolerances are outside of desired amounts is there a way to correct this or are these rounds relegated to plinking rounds? While here in...

Great info, thank you. You had mentioned that for the bigger magnums, full-length sizing may be required every time. For all bolt-action rifles, can you please tell me which cartridges you would full-length resize every time vs. only neck sizing? .240 Weatherby Mag .257 Weatherby Mag .300...

Roger that. As far as I know, TAC-P's & Combat Control still use them to call in airstrikes on targets. There's a Leica Vector on Ebay for sale that was used by the Secret Service but it looks pretty rough and they want $999 for it. I sent the seller a message asking if they would work if a...

With nothing coming close, the best I have ever used is the Leica Viper. We use them in the Air Force and would consistently range to over 6 miles easily. The coolest thing you can do with these is attach the mil GPS, range your target and it will give you the GPS coordinates of that target...

CTD & Buds show them out of stock but I got emails today that they were in since I was on the "notify" list. Maybe they were all spoken for but Able Ammo is showing availability but probably not for long.

Available at Able Ammo: Weatherby Vangaurd Bolt Action Rifle VGT240WR4O, 240 Weatherby Mag, 24 in, Griptonite Stock, Matte B - Able Ammo

Had been waiting for availability on the .240 Weatherby Vanguard S2 and put myself on the waiting list at Able Ammo, Cheaper Than Dirt, & Buds. Got word from all 3 today that they're now in stock for $464.00. These are guaranteed sub-MOA so it's a hell of a deal. Purchased mine & just...

New to the site also. Have been deployed to Afghanistan for the last 11+ months and will be leaving here in 19 days, 18 hours & 3 minutes. (not that I'm counting :) ) Originally from Marshfield and live near Iron River (Bayfield County) now. Have a cabin near Cayuga (south of Mellen) and...

New member deployed and just found the site and wanted to introduce myself. Have a home in far Northern Wisconsin near Bayfield. Been here in AFG for 10 months with 57 days to go. Have purchased 5 guns while away and am eager to get home and shoot them for the first time. The new guns are an...
