    Puffin liked post by zimmer On thread : Range finder- what's everyone using and why?
    I have a Zeiss Victory PRF. Wouldn't recommend it now though as it's a tad old fashioned - no angle calc etc. In its time though it was superior optically and probably in ranging to the Leica model...

    For me scrubbs cloudy ammonia from the supermarket is the quickest and easiest. If the fouling is heavy with carbon as well mixing it with chalk dust does the trick as its a super mild abrasive....

    A relaxing afternoon chasing Rabbits seemed like a great idea, taking a .223 suits short and long range " targets" http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161211/ae4a24130f9d1871247803ef30e5567b.jpg ...

    Puffin liked post by GWH On thread : Tikka T3 Varmint 260 Rem vs Nosler 120gr Partition
    Your barrel just may not like them, I'd look to find another pill it does like. I find that the Sierra 120 pro hunters and the 120 NBT don't seem to be fussy and work well

    Puffin liked post by Friwi On thread : Bad technique
    Who is dumb enough to carry an anvil of a rifle on top of mountain to take just one or two shots...? The brake or the suppressor makes the shooting more comfortable, but the " primary" recoil that...

    Puffin liked post by zimmer On thread : Need help understanding shoulder bump
    Pretty well covered by ebf. What I also do is remove the firing pin/spring mechanism from the bolt - not sure whether the Savage lends itself to this. You can then try your brass for bolt closing...

    I'm not saying there's anything wrong with 270 just that I don't think its a good cal for new shooters due to the recoil I have shot plenty of rounds of 270 over the years and personally I don't like...

    Puffin liked post by gundoc On thread : Long range rifle rig photos
    Yes, the M17 is a good solid action. Remington made them commercially as the Model 30 until they introduced the much cheaper 700 action. I left the reinforce that long to keep the weight up a bit...

    I don't know exactly what you are getting at here? For deer hunting I get you're not shooting strings of bullets, so I understand that the first 3 shots are critical. Deer rifles also tend to be...
