    338 win mag or 375 Ruger?

    I went back and forth between 338 and 375 H & H when looking for a new rifle to complement my 45-70, and ultimately went with a Ruger M77 338, which I love, but still intrigued by 375 as a caliber. Not familiar with the Ruger 375. How easy is it to obtain ammo and/or components?

    Who’s still running balance beams?

    RCBS 5-0-2. Tedious, but it's what I know, and I trust it.

    Barrel Stove kit - what did you use?

    I enjoy DIY stuff, but my skills are limited. The 20 gallon brewing systems I built were named "Ugly Betty I" and "Ugly Betty II." Given my welding skills, any guesses why they were so named? I hear you completely - some things to pay others who do them really well. Thanks for the further...

    Barrel Stove kit - what did you use?

    OK great, thanks. I think I was just confused by what they meant when they say "pipe set end wall" v. "straight out," but that's probably blindingly obvious. Thanks again.

    Hunting in rain - best practices? Wood stocks, blued barrels.

    You mean, light coating on action, or just hard-to-reach metal surfaces?

    Hunting in rain - best practices? Wood stocks, blued barrels.

    Thanks. Clothes is another thing, as we hunt in Johnson Woolen Mills stuff. Thought to put on ponchos, and am also thinking, just deal with it and get soaked. We are dispersed camping but not remote camping, so car is nearby. Even thought of finding a blow dryer and plugging it into the car...

    Rimfire Scope for Henry Lever - range and squirrel woods.

    Thanks. Looks like Bass Pro/Cabela's still offers their .17 HMR but can't find one for the .22. They also offer their "Intensity Rimfire," not sure about it. But I'll dig around for one in 22 and take a look, many thanks.

    Hunting in rain - best practices? Wood stocks, blued barrels.

    Well, crazy as it is, I've never hunted in the rain. Grew up in a dry climate, chapparal and arid, and in my years of northwoods hunting, not once hit rain. Drizzle and snow, yes, but never true rain. 10 day forecast so far is showing good possibility of rain showers the first 3 days of our...

    Thanks for more input, guys, taking it in. VA, that's one beautiful rifle.

    Canadian New Guy, eh?

    Howdy neighbor, from a relatively new-post-lurker, Wisconsin. My wife and I honeymooned up in Batchawana Bay. Just a tad away from you, lol. Everything I've seen and heard about your area is beautiful. Have fun.

    Rimfire Scope for Henry Lever - range and squirrel woods.

    Thanks, but in all honesty that's way more than I'm looking to spend. This is really just practicing on a platform similar to my gg, but allowing me to burn a ton of ammo and bringing muscle memory back, and keeping it there through the spring and summer. I'd even just use a pellet gun, which...

    Edit: wrong forum, sorry.

    Thanks alot. The note on 6X for the squirrel woods is well taken. I'll take a look at the Leu. Just an FYI, all, but I screwed up posting the thread here - should have gone in the Optics section. I've started the new thread there.

    Rimfire Scope for Henry Lever - range and squirrel woods.

    Next year I'm going to be spending a lot more time shooting. First year back after a long time and I spent so much time in load development for my 45-70 gg this year with a new powder (AA 5744, now) v. (IMR 4198, 2016) and cast bullet (Accurate 46-405VG, now) v. (46-425Q, 2016) that I rather...

    Barrel Stove kit - what did you use?

    OK, thanks. Bookmarked them and will do some digging. Noob question, but the pipe configurations they offer. Unclear what each means and digging around the site, didn't see any discussions. Pretty much just looking for a straight pipe up through the roof - unclear on the placement they...

    Edit: Post deleted. Missed the Optics forum and the post should have gone there. Mods, please delete if you would. Thanks.

    Things of beauty. Bummed I can't find the Sotz but will keep looking. Funny - in poking around saw your discussion on 24 campfire.
