Ah, so it seems maybe the "V" is only about receiver (magnum) and doesn't dictate floorplate or not. I appreciate the input @TAArrowood and @No Promises.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree, it's really a nice rifle, seriously considering just rebarreling it to a more useful (for me) caliber, maybe a 7RM or 264WM. No rush on that though, don't need another project right now.
Guess I should ask to clarify...my understanding is that this is a Sako...
Very nice Sako 75 ("Sako V") in 338 Win Mag. 5 shot group shown at 100 yds using factory Hornady SST 225gr. No doubt group could be better, guess I'm more recoil sensitive than I thought, haha. Factory trigger is adjustable (excellent trigger imo). Not sure of total number of rounds down the...
Am I understanding correctly that an accelerator bagger is an accessory (aluminum box looking collector)? We too deal with wet grass most of the time due to how we flood irrigate. Our current riding lawn mower has issues with plugging up at times. Those accelerator baggers eliminate the tube...
Can you tell me more about this? Interested in moving from a regular riding lawn mower (with bagger) to zero turn with collection. We feed the yard clippings our cows and want collection.
Any good rear discharge mower WITH collection? This would make mowing around trees and other objects...
Based on Elk kills:
200 yds off hand (unsupported)
300 yds kneeling (unsupported)
A few have been much closer, so those are max ranges in the field.
Based on a black bear kill:
570 yds standing with tree as support
Based on Elk and Oryx:
560 yds prone (muzzleloader, have dope figured out to...
Well, in that case, can you camp in the horse trailer? Even an open style horse trailer isn't bad. The only thing I didn't like about the tent was loading/unloading it, leveling the ground to set it up (or trying to find a flat spot), and when it's muddy out...can't really set it up. Otherwise...
I made an assumption of what camping means, but really should ask the question, what does camping mean to you and your wife? For me, it's BLM or USFS land typically (sometimes state park) and almost always primitive style. I've noticed that some areas of the country, camping is an RV camp...
Kodiak Flex Bow tent. 10x10 is plenty big enough, but they also make a 10x14. Used a 10x10 for many years and love those tents. Bought a 10x14 and ended up selling it, just wasn't using it and it was much bigger than I really needed.
Is the integrated cover on the Revic easily removable without damage? Good idea, but can see it being a hassle in certain situations.
Love the cold soak tests! Nice work!
A lot of good advice and comments in here of the not so obvious.
I just learned that eye relief is super important, duh! Took my old 7RM with it's trusty 3-9x40 VX-IIc (no dials, no BDC, 200yd zero) on a hunt and found out that between the new butt pad I put on last year and the Mystery Ranch...
Word of warning, pay attention to whether the LO tags are private land only or unit wide. This all depends on the land owner and what they select with game and fish (whether they allow public hunters on their land or not). You can look this up on NM game and fish ePlus system iirc.
Good discussion on shipping, lots of nuances to consider. I appreciate the tip on SMG, looks like that's the easiest way to ship IF the receiving FFL is listed on their website.
Any advice on receiving a credit card payment? Looks like a payment gateway needs to be set up...and there are a...
I searched here and couldn't find any answers here, but figure some of you sell on GB. I could use some help with selling on GunBroker, want to thin the herd a bit and start with a very rare, collectible pistol and it seems they sell well there. Debating whether to consign it with an...
Can someone better explain soft vs hard shoulder? I completely agree with the prone position (straight behind rifle, legs out, yada yada), and obviously there is more to positioning the rifle on the shoulder/chest. I've seen and learned that the position of the rifle matters a lot. The one...
