I used to rely on old guy strength. Its fun, enjoy making him hurt while you can. Now when I want to beat a whippersnapper I have to rely on old guy treachery and deceit.
If its not, its darn close, but I'm fairly sure theyre interchangeable. Timney makes a trigger kit for them that is a noticeable improvement, but its still catastrophically bad compared to a decent trigger on an off the shelf tikka or any other decent rifle trigger. 7600’s are very reliable as...
Its possibly a collectors item to some, Id look into that before you do anything. The 7400’s dont have a great reputation, but 7600’s have a bit of a cult following depending on vintage and exact configuration, especislly in the Northeast and upper Midwest. Im betting if its in good shape as-is...
Not sure what ammo you are shooting, but a quick plug into the hornady calculator for their 168 eldm match ammo says your 1000 yd elevation should be in the neighborhood of 10 mils. On a 32 mil scope you should have roughly half of that available—you’d have plenty of elevation travel to hit 1000...
If worried about it you could epoxy the rail too. Or, a set of UM rings pin directly to the action eliminating the rail entirely—thats probably the “most correct” answer from that perspective.
The legs are truly great braised until falling off the bone. Those bony tendon things in the legs pull out easy then, so youre left with meat rsther than inedible bony stuff. Other have mentioned carnitas or tacos, the posole recipe, etc, all of which are favorites in my house. The other recipe...
Yah, @yeti12 I get that. Sorry if that wasnt dripping with enough sarcasm. Point was that people make all sorts of decisions based on a combination of objective, anecdotal and emotional reasons, and to a degree, for someone who has a lot invested in it, to have your balance of objective and...
But @Decker9 my identity and life ethos is all rolled up in my cartridge choices, so if a .xxxPRC/CM/AI/etc isnt objectively the best, then who am I really and what is all this really for?
Yeah, unfortunately I think soft soles = disposable. I get a year out of them max before theyre toast. stiffer boots arent as cozy out if the box, but they do last longer.
Are the lowa renegades really the same way? Id have thought they were better made.
I received a response from Talley manufacturing as well. My question was WHY they recommend against loctite, if it was a scope functional issue or if it was something else.
Talley: "we do this because generally people do not use the product as directed. If a little works, a lot must be...
Went to check out a bunch of spots that I thought could work for a cbc. Drove south to the national forest, which is the only public land where shooting isnt explicitly illegal here. I stopped at three different places first, and couldnt get more than 200 yards, maybe a touch more, out of any of...
Interesting scope for sure. Seems like a “concept scope” akin to a “concept car” you’d see at a car show, ie an R&D project to develop an idea. Props to them for working on it, but bummer it doesnt seem to be race ready for the way I’d use it.
Re some of the comments above about low...

Man, Im a lifetime short range shooter, going on 40 years of actively shooting. Got into casual prs/nrl type shooting 6 or so years ago. I see a lot of people come through those matches with all sorts of different shooting backgrounds. Seems to me the skills involved in unsupported short range...
I’ve used a 1.5-4.5 on a woods gun for many years for hunting where shots are usually 20-40 yards, and rarely past 75. Have since switched to a 2.5-10 and now a 3-9, but I really miss the field of view of the little scope when using the 3-9. I’d about give up a finger for a 1.5-6 or 2-7 x 40...
Fair point, since I made it. To be entirely fair though, the quote I was referring to didnt contain the original question or any detail beyond the short soundbite, which leaves the contradiction of factory-issued oiled screws entirely unaddressed. If it had been followed up by a pointed question...
Below exchange with Seekins Precision just moments ago--their response is verbatim. Dude was honest with me and quick to reply and gave me permission to quote him here (I asked after the exchange). I have several sets of their rings, which I have had nothing but good luck with.
Me: is there...
