    Bergara opinions??

    Forums are funny, broaden where you get feedback from is my only advice. Tikkas are great rifles, but Rokslide quite obviously has an unhealthy obsession with them. On another forum you might find Bergara's viewed the same way Tikkas are here and a bunch of great results from them shot long and...

    What cartridge should I use?

    I'd just ignore that commenter and move on like you didn't see it.

    6 creed load dev, what would you do?

    Just as a reference my PH2 in 6CM shoots lapua srp, BR4, 39.4 gn H4350, 109 LRHT at 2965 FPS, and over a 20 shot group single digit SD and .7" group.

    GT cartridges

    My 22gt didn't start blowing up bullets until the 500sih round mark, and it's still less than 10% of the shots. If you look at people who are shooting matches with these, 100-200 rounds a weekend, it's a common topic to hear about. There's nothing horrible about the 22gt or special about the...

    GT cartridges

    Anything you can do to help the jacket stay in place will be a plus with the 22GT. Tons of variables, but in general over 300,000 RPM is not desirable for bullets. RPM is a factor of velocity and barrel twist. Stability is mainly velocity, twist, altitude (environmentals). So you have to twist...

    GT cartridges

    There's a FB group with a crap ton on info on the 22GT, I'd go look around there. If you go with a 22 be absolutely sure you get a .219 bore barrel, not the tighter .218. And I'd also go with as slow a twist that will still get you the SG to stabilize the bullets you want to run. FWIW I just...

    7PRC -Prone to Pressure Signs and Carbon Ring Buildup?

    Pure ******* ignorance yet again. And proof that shooting a lot doesn’t really make you an expert in anything. I’d put you as juuuuust less of a charlatan than Cortina. He probably shoots as much as you do, but actually puts his name out there and has skins on the wall. He’s built his entire...

    Rifle advice for learning long range

    No questions from me. I can see what they are/do, have given the podcast a few chances. I said my piece... they are clearly a marketing company first and foremost. Wouldn't even be on my list for a rifle class. Hope you had a good time and enjoy your cool kids club badge!

    Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

    I tend to agree with others that the vectronix seems like it may be too busy for dedicated hunting use. I’ll absolutely be picking some up for competitions though. Seeing the Revic display I thing I would be hard pressed to pic them over the sig 10k gen 2s. The info that sig puts on screen is...

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    I read through, and searched through some of this thread, but this may have been discussed already. If you had to pick 1 bullet in a 6 CM for Elk this season, shots 100-400 yards, what bullet? I already have a lights out load with 109 LRHT Would I gain anything switching to: 108 ELDM 103 ELDX...

    Rifle advice for learning long range

    Again I can't speak to the S2H stuff, S2H is a marketing company. That's clearly their goal, and I would never take a rifle/hunting course from a marketing company. Rifles Only, Modern Day Sniper, Colorado Precision Rifle, are all three well respected classes that sound like they will much...

    Rifle advice for learning long range

    You absolutely don't want anything bigger than a 6.5CM. I also kinda question those Sig courses. I have no direct experience with them, but few things I've read here and there make them seems a little like a crock. So all three courses combined are 48hrs of instruction and ~$2250?? That's too...

    Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

    Can someone describe or post a picture of what the display readout looks like in these binos? Specifically the windage? In the photo above it's obviously 1135 yards away and is 9.4 the come up in mils? does it alternate between elevation and windage in that spot of the display?

    2024 NRL Hunter schedule

    He absolutely had some "influence" about his take on sky loading, backed off the norm to say that if you were checking dope or turrets you didn't have to open bolt. His chamber flag rule was stupid, I have one of the mag block ones that stick up into the open chamber, so two birds one stone...

    Ketchikan - small fishing charter?

    You really only need to be able to tell coho from kings. It's a little daunting, but the kings in the water in September will all be shakers and probably 12" or less. I was a little concerned my first time, but the black gums are 99% of the time super obvious once you see them next to a coho mouth.

    Ketchikan - small fishing charter?

    If you have a little bit of ability, rent a skiff or a enclosed boat for yourself and go troll. Knudson Cove has both, or just google Ketchikan DIY boat rentals. If they'll have rods is kinda hit or miss. There's pretty much 3-4 places to troll for salmon around there. Plenty of people to give...

    2024 NRL Hunter schedule

    Location seems like it's always tough with these matches in general. Collin can be a little odd, but I like him well enough. The eye pro last year sucked especially with the conditions. I do agree that it seems like more thought should go into who and where the finale is, but I'm obviously not...

    $13k 308 w/ a Leupold

    They should probably get on the S2H marketing steamroller, this would become the new "rokslide special"!!!

    2024 NRL Hunter schedule

    That is Jim's match, and the reason for my question. I have no issue with strict safety measures when dealing with firearms, especially in a match setting, and will do my best to follow whatever rules the MD sets forth. But his definition of sky loading is frankly ridiculous.

    2024 NRL Hunter schedule

    I've shot 5 NRLH this year, and it's been a discussion at every match because of Jim, and even more so at the ones that were directly after his. I know all statistics online are made up, but I'd like to see the total number of DQs in the season and the % of those that come from Jim's matches...
