If he can get them in the $1400 ish range, that would be good. If the OP were to watch the classifieds here, he will likely find them in the $1400 ish range. ELs (SV versions) in the $1600 ish range.
$1200 is too much for a 15 year old SLC. And when you consider it is a magnification you don't really want, then that should tell you enough. Watch the classifieds here. 8.5 Els pop up regularly. I picked mine up this past fall, and they are wonderful. I don't see a lot of 8x SLCs here, but...
We have killed muleys, antelope and a few elk with our 7mm-08s. When I built my first one, I transformed a Winchester Model 70 Westerner .243 into a 7mm-08. It is an absolute tack driver. Then my son earned a Browning ABolt in 7mm-08 by earning his Eagle Scout. It is also an absolute tack...
I bought some 777 for $32/bottle the other day. About the best price I have seen in a while around here. Hard to swallow as I bought my last two bottles for $8/bottle at Walmart after the season ended and they were clearing it out. Those were the good "ol" days.
By the way, Cabelas wanted...
I wear a 9.5 in the Colorado, Nevada, Guide and Monaco, but the Summit in that size felt so HUGE. My foot was swimming in it. I totally figured I had the wrong size on accident, but the label said 9.5 and it was a regular, not wide. A year later I tried again. Same thing. So for me, the...
Standing, but leaning into it with a good rest across a rimrock edge. 474 yards. Took a minute to find the right spot that was comfortable, but when I found it, I was rock solid. It was kind of like shooting from a bench.
It would be nice if they would ship the ones we ordered in November before they put them up for sale again. I am still waiting, not a huge deal, but surprised that they have put them back up when they haven't been able to ship the ones from November. Several colors/sizes have been held up in a...
I picked up an MR-X .50 caliber in Stainless/Black for Christmas. Fit and finish looks pretty good. Haven't been able to get it out shooting yet, but got the scope mounted and I am ready in that regard. The rail screws were pretty loose though. I did take them out, put a tiny bit of LocTite...
It did kick hard on my TC Firehawk. 110 grains felt like my fillings were coming loose while at the bench. But 5 shot groups, all touching and making one large hole, with a peep sighted TC Firehawk at 100 yards, made me willing to deal with the pain. And who has ever noticed recoil in the...
Is that barrel a 1:28 twist? If it is in that neighborhood twist rate, I would definitely give the No Excuses conical bullets a try. They were extremely accurate in two .54 caliber rifles we had. Give them a try. https://www.muzzleloading-bullets.com/product/54-caliber-525-grains/
