    Saddle as a safety harness

    I started using a rock climbing harness 12-14 years ago. I’m 72 years old now and still use one while hunting out of a lock on or ladder stand. Most recently just this past hunting season. I practiced falling out of the stand quite a lot from a low height and I can easily climb back onto the...

    7mm08 Powders

    I haven’t seen Ramshot Hunter mentioned much but Big Game is used a lot. I’ve been working on a new load using Hunter in my Tikka 20” Compact 7-08 and the 150 ELDX. It’s given me good accuracy and velocity so far. I still have to tweak the load a little but I’m liking it so far.

    Shot timer recommendations

    Competition Electronics Pocket Pro. I’ve had the same one for 25+ years and never had a bit of trouble. I used to shoot a lot of IDPA matches and that’s what the ranges used.

    How can I like the taste of venison

    Try pressure cooked deer steaks. Put steak/s in the cooker, add an envelope of McCormicks Slow Cooker Pot Roast Seasoning, potatoes, carrots, etc, add water to just cover ingredients. Pressure cook for about 20 minutes after pressure is reached. So tender and tastes just like beef pot roast...

    Ruger American Predator issues - CS experience

    As I stated before, mine was doing the exact same thing. The problem is that the front /top ( projectile end ) of the magazine is not supported when it’s inserted into the magwell. This allows the front /top of magazine to be pushed up too high which lowers the back.( think see-saw ) This in...

    Victor Titan Cheek Riser - T3x

    I put the Victor on my compact Tikka and it works great but it DOES keep me from removing the bolt. I plan on notching it out with a half round file but not around to it yet. Shouldn‘t be too hard.

    Ring marks

    I started using Burris Signature Zee rings. They have the poly inserts that help eliminate marks.

    non factory coyote calibers

    Have a look at a 6x6.8. Easy to load for using 6.8 spc brass with just a simple neck down with dies you can order from Hornady. I’m getting 3150 using a Nosler 70gr. BT. I also killed a 7pt buck a couple years ago at 275 yards with an 80gr TTSX. It also shoots Nosler 55gr Varmageddon really well.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I have 2 of the 10X SS MQ. I tried a 6X but the reticle looked too fine and traded it for another 10X. The 10X reticle looks much larger to me than the 6X and I can see it a lot better. Killed an 8pt. buck and a doe this year with different rifles both wearing the 10X but shots were at 220...

    Speer Bullets thread

    Ordered some 130gr. Speer Hot-Cor on Wednesday to try in my 7-08. Powder Valley had a pretty good price on them.
