    Property owner takes trail cam

    You could be from OH. I think trail cameras are illegal as are permanent tree stands on public property.

    Maven RS2 vs Vortex Viper HS

    I had the Viper HS 4-16. I found it to be great for what it is. It is optically very clear, had crisp repeatable turrets. I never had an issue at the range or in the field. Nice and light too. I sold mine due to wanting an SFP reticle and cap less turrets with zero stop.

    Shot Placement and Terminal Performance

    Mule Deer 280 yds 300 Sherman Berger 180 EH Behind shoulder, about 2” above COM….so about 4” high; hit 1 or both lungs and clipped the bottom of the spine; exited high and back a ways….deer was not as sideways to me as I thought. Really good bullet performance. DRT

    New barrel being shipped one week before I leave for my hunt. LOL

    I know I don’t. I would want a minimum of three months. With components available, maybe 1mo.

    For me, it is to be crystal clear that the rifle is unloaded when at the airport.

    Painless load development (mine)

    …..but doesn’t variation in drop make you worse than at at 100 yds? IME, 100 YD groups are determined by variation in bullet flight

    Painless load development (mine)

    These are good short cuts, but only that. 1.5” groups are caused by some mismatch in my experience. …like barrel to bullet Ive developed off bad initial groups, but it never becomes great, just acceptable. if you can put 25 downrange through fired brass after 100 rounds, you will know if it is...

    Reaming an AI chamber by hand

    I would put the barrel on and see how many rotations from touching the bolt head until the GO gage fits. Actually, I think I would thread It until it stops on the GO gage, mark the barrel and action, then thread it on more w/o the gage until the bolt head stops it. Then pull out some Trig to...

    R26 temp sensitivity test

    I really appreciate you doing this. Wish we also knew if Sd changed across temp range.

    Painless load development (mine)

    That’s just denying science, isn‘t it? You are shooting an accurate 100 yd load with 5 different drops at 1000 yds. Won’t just the drop variation take the group to 20+ inches?

    Quick Mule Deer Tip

    A couple days ago, in central MT, I had a small herd of Mule deer upwind 650 yds from the truck. I try not to be a road hunter, but sometimes they are just near the road! We hid the truck and tried to close the distance. I’m not ready to shoot 650 yds off my tripod. So I snuck up this hill with...

    FNG from OH….Hunts MT

    I’m looking for a pack. I need something with a tripod pocket and I’d like a meat hauler…..3000 cc max. I see VAMountainHunter has a Wilderness Pack Specialties Ibex on a Yukon frame. Looks grest, but of course I cannot post there. What do people think of the WPS packs?
