Like an accident insurance company with medical bills to pay? Maybe?

You are correct there is evidence of pouting, however, humiliation? This appears to have been a catastrophic type event producing huge pressure on the bolt, destroying the lugs on the bolt. Doesn't pressure often take it's easiest escape route? What happened inside the chamber? Was there an...

Really??

Boulder-dash. Safety reminders are always become important when their true cause is identified: without cause and effect there is no reminder. By the way, COVID never stopped my range activity.

True, lots of good info to pass on: however, the info as to what happened in side that rifle is still a mystery to me. Truly hope that somebody does a real study as to what actually occurred: way too many variables involved and way too many questions go unanswered. Hope there is a sharing of...

Sometimes I think, for me, it is more about light and less about power . I think the size of the objective lens is every bit as important: for whatever that is worth. Good luck!

Thank you for your time spent in answering my questions: being a " long range hunting" and shooting forum just could not turn down the want to ask several questions. Don't be sorry about the length of your answer; it was informative. I guess I would like to suggest that you might want to...

Interesting story and well written: congratulations. You write that you wished to record your first time hunting adventure: you did that well, but you also shared that story with many others on this website. Why?? Are you looking to learn more from others what you could have done better? If...

I think there can be a significant difference between a 6.5 Creedmoor and a 7mm or 308: depends on barrel twist rate, bullet you choose to shoot, distance you expect to hunt Western Mule Deer, and more. Just trying to suggest you might spend some time calculating and shooting, accurately, to...

If you are happy with the 6.5 family it might be fun to create you own rifle in the caliber you are most familiar. Deer and antelope hunting, as well as shooting paper and steel at long range: 6.5 cal very good at both. Building a custom rifle, in my view, has it's own set of challenges. Have...

First, I like your rifle and set-up. Second, why does one conclude that windage set at 100yds is the most accurate for their rifle? Can't slight mistakes at 100yds grow to 4" at 400 yds? Windage has always, for me, been more challanging to set than elevation. Now my dumb question: why not reset...

Interesting question: two different hunting scenarios and asking for help in choosing one rifle caliber to do both. For me its less about the calibers and more about rifle set-up. In a ground blind, where bench setup is achievable I would choose the 6.5(less recoil) with a trigger wt between...

My mistake, 240 yds sight-in for 28N hunting rifle; ballistic table now correct.
