    RokStok

    Has anyone received a LH rokstok yet? I am coming up on a year here in a month and was told at the start of October mine was on the next railed batch of Tikkas. Wondering if the left hand is the hold up?

    Left handed rokstok options?

    In theory. But my left hand order mid-january of last year still hasn't arrived. At the start of October I was told it was in the next railed run of stocks..... It of course is December now. So in theory yes they offer left hand. In reality? Who knows?

    Need help deciphering a missed shot

    Interesting update. Hunting black tail in Oregon with a buddy this weekend we compared rangefinders. I have a vortex 3000HD and he has an Sig with the AB capability. We had the same LOS distance but our angle calculations were quite different. Mine read 26 degrees and his 30 degrees. Going...

    RokStok

    Mine is plain as well. Maybe I’ll pester them again. After all, I was well behaved for 8 months. I do have to wait for shipping but haven’t received any notifications.

    RokStok

    Anyone received a railed tikka rokstok since the start of October? I finally reached out at the start of October after ordering last January and I was told mine was in the next shipment of railed tikka stocks.

    Need help deciphering a missed shot

    I recovered a buck last year after insisting on sticking with it after my spotter assured me I missed and that he saw the buck run off fine. The deer was dead 100 yards from the shot which was a heart shot. I check for blood on any shot unless of course in this case I can observe that the deer...

    He totally would have allowed for it. They had no clue where the shot was coming from. They never even broke into a stott or run.

    Need help deciphering a missed shot

    I think you’re missing that this buck didn’t just disappear or run off. We watched him through the spotting scope for awhile. He didn’t go out of sight. The deer headed up the basin before bedding down. Probably 10 minutes of walking uphill about 1,000 feet in elevation. Then when they...

    Need help deciphering a missed shot

    Time crunch. I’ve got young kids and primarily archery hunt. So my time to reload and shoot was limited. The heavy slow ammo grouped well and was available. So I used my last two shooting sessions with a known commodity to confirm dope and zero. I am working on a load with my remaining...

    Need help deciphering a missed shot

    I’m referring to seeing the impact during the shot. I watched this buck for a long time and going down to where the shot was taken would have been essentially useless for tracking purposes compared to going to where he fed and milled around as well as where he went over the top of the mountain...

    Need help deciphering a missed shot

    Thanks. My buddy and I talked about the flowing river theory after. The soft moist dirt may have hidden the impacts well too so I had nothing to adjust by. The shot was from uphill to downhill. We were about 100 feet of elevation below the saddle and the deer probably 500 feet or more...

    Need help deciphering a missed shot

    What do you recommend? This rangefinder has great glass and picks up ranges farther than most and matches distances by other rangefinders. But also haven’t done a lot of extreme angle comparisons. I have friends with sigs that really like them. The glass is terrible to me in the sigs but it’s...

    Need help deciphering a missed shot

    Could very well be. It’s just I’ve rarely ever felt so perfectly confident on a shot. Then to have the projectile nowhere to be found had me baffled. My guess is there was more wind cross canyon then I could read from the slopes and that there is something to my old man’s insistence that...

    Need help deciphering a missed shot

    It’s very unusual for me but I didn’t go down to check. Mostly because I’ve never been able to watch a deer I’ve shot at for this amount of time. He gained 2000 feet of elevation without skipping a beat. Watched him feed through the spotting scope and everything. He did get smoked the next...

    Need help deciphering a missed shot

    Trying to diagnose a series of missed shots on a buck. The situation was a 510 yard shot at about a 25 degree angle across a basin in steep terrain. I had lots of preparation time for this shot as the buck was not my target, but after my target buck got dropped across the basin, this smaller 4...

    30-06 barrel cutdown results

    I I prefer to shoot non-lead so with my losses a reduced velocity results in a reduced minimum impact velocity range. I wasn’t expecting to get the speeds I did out of my hand loads either. So it’s a little bit of both. I would have done 17.5-18.5 were I to do it again. I ended up at 19...

    30-06 barrel cutdown results

    I never hit pressure when I loaded with Staball and got to 2840 with my 19 inch tube. Have to see if my dad has some 4064 to play around with.

    Inconsistent results from Hornady App?

    Check the app. I don’t see any update but now when I open the favorites profile the values match my observed hit points. Also, aerodynamic jump seems more reasonable before at 500 yards a 1/4 value 12 mph wind was giving me over an MOA proposed vertical shift. Now it’s .2.

    30-06 barrel cutdown results

    Not absurdly good but that’s a 1.5 grain gap ladder test with the 168 Barnes. Mine always shot 180’s best when I was shooting cup and core.
