    Hold over scope

    Trijicon 3-9x40 green mil-dot will work. It's uncluttered and out of the way until you need it, dial up to 9x and you've got 5 simple hold points over your zero. The last one will get you over 700 depending on load. On my slow grendel launching a .5 bc as 2386 fps it looks like this: zero 200...

A mature female going all of 90 lbs by my arm gauge. Her skull makes the bucks skull look...

    Rounding MOA

    Take it further, get a speed dial turret to match the middle of your hunting elevations and hunting season average daily temp. No range card needed. Eliminate that step converting distance to moa, have distance already on your turret. Range, dial to range, hold into wind and fill your freezer.

    Has anyone figured out a hunting bipod yet?

    Harris swivel, 9-13” with the segmented lower legs for prone or backpack and the 13-27” for sitting. Sounds like Harris just isn’t in fashion though even though they work great and you can probably get two of each for the price of something that is in prc fashion? Just go with sling swivel...

    backpack hunting scope

    Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 mil-dot green at 13.4 oz, with 1" talley lows at 2.0 oz you add just under 1 lb to an ultralight rifle (15.5 oz). With 200 yard zero on a 6.5 Creedmoor there's 5 mil hold points that get you over 700 yards, 4 dot below crosshair then where the post thickens back up is...

    Tent heaters

    for super efficient heating option just a little less hp than the buddy heaters and even less likely to co2 scare you try the Olympia Wave 3000, get the little angled feet, a 20 lb bottle will run it a long long time. It has 2 settings, 1600 btu and 3000 btw...the buddy junior runs 4000-9000 btu...

    Lightweight Howa Mini Builds - .223 Rem & 6.5 Grendel

    I hear you completely, you have to be obsessed about the extra short action cartridges (AR length cartridges) to go down this path...which I am and which my wallet is very familiar with. So ALL the info is available here now. There isn't too many options to choose from out there to play with the...

    Lightweight Howa Mini Builds - .223 Rem & 6.5 Grendel

    Howa's are money pits, the only good part is the barrel and the action. Yes the trigger gets some praise as a decent budget trigger but it's a 2 stage with blade feel like a gas station cap gun so all it does is break decent and light enough. The bottom plastic and magazine have to go...

    Lightweight Howa Mini Builds - .223 Rem & 6.5 Grendel

    For poops and giggles on my eventual completion the recoil energy using hornady black 123gr eld-m at assumed 2450 fps from 18.5" (I get 2386 from 16.1" ruger and 2500 from broken in 20" howa)) and just over 5 1/4 lb finished rifle with fixed 6x36 leupold would be 11.0 ft/lbs and if use the...

    Savage long range

    Always had the 270 win as a 600 yard cartridge. 270 wsm would add a couple hundred yards.

    New rifle - for next season

    The step down from Tikka level is the Ruger American imo...skip the rest in the step down category. Both will drive tacks with factory ammo but you have the managers rifle vs the field hands rifle. I love them both for what they are. Well played, Tikka when you can afford it.

    Lightweight Howa Mini Builds - .223 Rem & 6.5 Grendel

    I have a standard 22” barrelled action in 6.5g in my safe that’s been cut down to 18.5” and has had the action slabbed and the bolt fluted and bolt handle knob hollowed and it’s 3 lb 5 oz with the action screws. So ya you can still diet quite a bit of metal out of that for a sub 5 lb unscoped...

    Help me select a "long range" 6.5 Creedmoor and glass

    Sounds like you should see if you can get a blaser r8 in 6.5 CM and quit playing around. Your needs are jumping up to another level of firearms in price categories. Check out proof rifles, I think they have some competitors as well...

    Shooting 600 yards, have i got this right?

    Find the original 3 DVD set from best of the west. 2-3 DVD’s from recollection. It’s where all this started. It’s a great foundation and you can still set up very similar and it’s far more hunt friendly that the target setups of late (prc). Sounds like you like to be a student so may as well see...
