    Starter press

    The Frankford Arsenal peripherals are quality components. I have acquired quite a few pieces over the last several years, and have yet to be disappointed.

    Mcgowen Barrel Reviews

    Dan Wynne, McGowen General Manager, (and the guy you will have to deal with) is one of the most unprofessional business people I have ever had the unfortunate opportunity to deal with. His communications skills and attention to detail are unbelievably horrible! This^^^^^ See post #57

    Kowa TSN-553 Review, By Luke Moffat

    Though I mainly use a VA-5 head for my 554 and binos, I've been carrying a BPC-16 for about 4 years. At just 4oz, it's a little tank, and I can recommend it highly.

    6.5 Bullet for antelope

    I'm sorry. I just now realized that the question was specifically for a 6.5 bullet, and my previous answer was based on the 7-08, which I use for almost all of my western hunting. If I were to use my 260 for antelope, I'd feed it 100 TTSXs.

    My Kimber Montana Tinkering

    @Marbles They have a history of rifles with faulty springs. They used to replace them for free. When I won an auction for a 2012 NIB old stock Montana, a couple of years ago, and it FTF, they sent me a new one, but charged me for parts and shipping. It totaled less than 15 bucks, which wasn't...

    Pack for Day Hunting

    @HuumanCreed Thanks for the response. After I replied to you, I found this same content on YT. Very good to know for a guy with just the Pop Up frame, but I also have a Sawtooth 45 on a Guide Light MT frame. Probably, the only applications in my case, would be to lend it to a buddy who doesn't...

    Pack for Day Hunting

    I didn't know that. I have a spare Pintler bag and a first Gen PU 28. Care to describe the procedure?

    Frankford Arsenal Pile Driver bullet puller

    Anybody have any experience and opinions on this tool? It's a bit late for me to be asking this, since I already ordered one. I couldn't find my old kinetic hammer type puller, so was about to order 2 different Grip-N-Pulls to handle all the calibers that I reload for. Then I came across this...

    200 yard grouping

    I don't know what factory loads you've tried, but be sure to try some Barnes 120 TTSX loads and Hornady American Whitetail ammo with 139 Interlocks, if you're able to find them. We all know that each rifle will like a particular load better than others. Having said that, I have four 7-08s that...

    Chronograph?

    Have you contacted MagnetoSpeed to see if they can help you out?

    Chronograph?

    I've read good and bad reviews for both the Labradar and the MagSpeed. I've had a Mag V3 for three years without a hiccup. Just my sample of 1. Sure, it affects POI. I put it on the rifle to get velocity readings, then I take it off and shoot for groups. It's not the huge issue that it's made...

    Packs and Meat

    I haul meat between the bag and the frame, on the meat shelf. MR Sawtooth 45.

    Best Pheasant/Grouse/Family Dog

    She's been gone a few years now, but my yellow pointing Lab, Nalla, filled that bill perfectly.

    Most fun bird to hunt?

    I told any potential long term girlfriends the exact same thing, right up front, to avoid it becoming an issue down the road. It never has. To answer the question, pheasants and grouse, over good dogs, are what trips my trigger.

    Starter press

    Hard to beat a Rock Chucker. Nothing fancy, but reasonably priced, very dependable and rolls quality accurate ammo. Been using mine to build precision ammo since '76.

    Pack for Day Hunting

    Though I'm a big fan of the Pop Up 28, for your son's purposes, I would recommend going just a bit larger with the Sawtooth 45. That would put him into the Guide Light MT frame, which can handle heavier loads in more comfort. That's not a knock on the Pop Up. They're two different packs...

    Talk me into or out of kowa spotter, 554 vs 773 vs 883

    Note that the 77 (2nd from left) is not wearing an eye piece. If it was, it would be very similar in size to the 88 which is 3rd from left.

    Does New Brunswick allow the sale/transfer of a hunting tag?
