    Leupold reticle getting hairy

    This is why we buy Leupold. Wrap it up, send it back, it will be repaired or replaced. Problem solved. 👍

    Why is there a thread for a SPECIFIC cartridge here?

    Seems pretty simple to me. If your not interested, don’t read it. It’s there if yo want it, if you don’t, ignore it.

    Misery loves company

    As has been already stated. Get as fit as you can before your surgery. Then more importantly, Do Your Rehab Religiously. If they say do 10, do 15 etc. The rehab is where it succeeds or fails. Best of luck mate. Get amongst them soon!

    Talk me out of getting Swarovski EL 10x42’s

    Just buy them and love them. Had my EL ranges for about 5-6 yrs. now and have NEVER regretted it. Best investment I ever made.

    Rifles we wish we've never sold, and WHY!

    Mine was an old and much used 92 Winchester in 32-20. Probably the most useless caliber ever made. It was my grand fathers, then my Dads then mine. Young and stupid wanting the latest and greatest, sold it and put dollars on a 700 in .243. Great gun. But with the benefit of hindsight, the...

    How important is primer pocket/flash hole prep?

    I’m definitely holding sub moa at 600 yards. Haven’t been any where that I can check further. But to be honest most of the country I hunt rarely calls for shots more than 300 yds. Heavy timber and steep.

    Pet My Moose

    I’ve long held the view that danger is nature’s way of weeding out idiots. It’s to be encouraged!! 🤔🤔

    How important is primer pocket/flash hole prep?

    Got me thinking so I tried this. Got 20 new cases and full length resized. Did primer pocket /flash hole in 10. Loaded as per usual. Shot at 100 yards alternating between prepped and unprepped, each type onto a differ target. Result. No discernible difference. 6.5 Cr. 143gn ELD-x. Sub 3/8...

    Trigger failures

    Only time I ever had trigger failures is when I've stuffed around with them to make them "better". Message there somewhere.;)

    Who’s tried a Steripen?

    I’ve used them with mixed results. Work with UV I think. Use them “as well as”, not as the only thing. Use in conjunction with the Life Straw. Usually just use the life straw unless water is really suspect.

    What bore cleaner do you use ?!

    Sweets. Smells like camel **** but works a treat. Fastest and best I’ve used.

    Need Advice on a Rifle

    A friend recently got a CA in 300 RUM. Took a lot of stuffing around to get it shooting. Was getting 3” groups at 100 with factory ammo. Tried 220 ELD-X and 87gn AR2225 and shooting practically one hole 5 shot groups at 100. Went through a lot of loads to get there though. It is a really nice...

    Long range rifle takes a beating

    After seeing the Knuckle Draggers that pass as luggage handlers throw my gun case, ( thankfully a penguin), 10 yards out onto the tarmac, I have taken to carrying two identical scopes with QD rings already sighted in as carry on baggage on all international and domestic flights. Also a torque...
