    Favorite 44m scope 500 yards

    I don't agree with this at all. The country of origin does not dictate manufacturing quality and quality control. I've had great luck on a lot of rifle scopes from vortex that are Philippine and china manufactured. For 90% of the rifles out there, they fit the bill. Margin of error in shooters...

    Favorite 44m scope 500 yards

    I put a viper PST gen 2, 3-15x44 on my wife's 6.5CM. I've liked it alot, my dad had a viper 6.5-20x44 with the capped turrets on his 30-06 for years before he finally switched to open turrets and that scope had decent glass quality, definitely did not seem as crisp as the pst. But it's also a...

    6.5 CM Velocities

    I am not thrilled to say I am not a proper break in or clean shooter. For break ins I clean every 10 rounds or so for the first 40 rounds then I clean after every other reload. So 200 rounds and do a clean. I do clean the throat thoroughly. Thanks guys for all the info, sounds like there is...

    6.5 CM Velocities

    Something I never considered but just thought about, is my american is close to 7 years old with 1,500+ rounds through it. And my precision is less than 2 with less than 500 rounds through it. Would that make a difference? How often does velocity increase with barrel life?

    6.5 CM Velocities

    I know my precision is about 0.020" longer to the lands compared to the American. That said, they both have some LONG jumps to the lands with the loads above.

    6.5 CM Velocities

    I have been reloading a while, and this last year I loaded up some 140gr Berger Elites with 41.5gr IMR4350 & CCI 200's inside Hornady Brass loaded out to 2.825" OAL We are at roughly 5,000 ft of elevation. I shot the loads out of both a Ruger American Predator 22" barrel and a Ruger Precision...

    Good Gas Mileage Hunting Vehicle

    2019 Ford ranger has been my favorite hunting rig. It's sitting on 33s and a mid travel kit. Super comfortable, 4 doors, and been getting 20mpg as a daily. Used to be a diesel guy with tons of 2nd gens, just got tired of loud rough riding trucks.

    Ruger American Stock Mod

    I would highly recommend not doing the great stuff trick. I tried it on my ruger american and it didn't hardly make a difference. On a howa hogue l stuffed it full of cardboard pieces and got it about 90% full. When I filled it completely it went back to a plastic-y sound, but when I left a...

    Show Up Early or Hunt Longer?

    I use to be the early bird, but now a days I have a tendency to not show up to the unit until opening morning, and plan to stay for longer. I try to pick the middle of longer seasons. Maybe I just have a tendency to scout where everyone goes for the first day, but I have enjoyed e-scouting as...
