    Anybody doing Nightforce for black friday?

    First off stay strong and don't drink the Kool-Aid. :) Second, Cabelas will be having member Mondays and offering 15% off of everything except 10% on guns and ammo. Active Junky or Rakuten can be stacked for another discount. The discount runs between 4 and 8%. I managed to get 18% off of an...

    Is it all Leopolds

    Haha. Funny enough I got one of the first Mark 4 HD scopes and I offered to send it in and I did not get a response. I am over it though.

    Is it all Leopolds

    I do not know what the final cause was but the competitor said it fell over while it was leaned aginanst a tree. I have no idea what the surface was but I assume hard dirt. He had a zero shift both vertical and horizontal. He had just finished shooting for power factor so he was already at the...

    Is it all Leopolds

    I have a Leupold VX-5 that has been shipped Fedex, been on countless float planes in Alaska, truck hunts, backpack hunts as well as multiple boat rides. It has remained spot on as have my other VX-5 scopes in snotty weather. Somehow I managed to have another successful hunt with it last week...

    Maven vs Leupold

    I am sitting SE Alaska as I type this after successfully deer hunting with both the Leupold VX-5 on my Seekins Element 6.5 PRC and the Maven 1.2 on my Ruger American Gen 2 in 6ARC. I have little faith in the scope evaluations here as I have the less preferred scopes that have served me well and...

    Investment fund for the grandkids???

    I do not like active Fund managers or commission based financial advisors. This eats up growth unnecessarily and with the timeline you have it will be substantial 30 years from now! We have a trust set up for our kids education and some is 529 as mentioned and some is not based on contribution...

    6arc 103 ELD-X

    I have a RA Gen 2 also. For the 103 I am using 26.5 of Varget. That is the starting load by the book and I am only getting a little over 2500 fps. I am using Starline brass and much more becomes compressed and my accuracy goes to hell.

    NEW AllTerra Carbon Hunter 3 Stocks

    I am a Seekins fan at the moment and wish your stock was available for them. I spent some time on your site and watched the videos. Great looking rifles and I could see myself shopping after this hunting season is over.

    Slight stiffness closing the bolt

    It has probably been covered but make sure your primers are not proud. I was out with a friend once and he was having the same issue on some of his rounds. I do not remember how we figured it out but you had to look very close to see some of them stood proud from the case.

    Leupold Glass Discoloration

    I looks like it just needs a good cleaning with the right stuff. I assume you have done that so I would get it sent off to Leupold. They have awesome customer service and will get you fixed up either way.

    Scope Recommendation - Practice Focused

    I shoot the Leupold on my Seekins at NRL events as do the majority of the competitors. I also bought two of the 1.2 mil scopes for my hunting rifles as I move to mills. I am moving to mils since that is the lingo used at these events otherwise MOA has always served me well. I am certainly no...

    Not the regular what cartridge poll.

    I do shoot quite a bit and participate in NRL Hunter etc. It just seems like the right thing to do. Again my experience is limited but who knows what my trigger pull will look like along with all the other excitement induced irregularities.

    Not the regular what cartridge poll.

    As you can tell from my original post I am no expert. The poll results like the 7 PRC at least for me. I would take them both out to a range where you can shoot a few boxes out of each rifle and then make your decision. Try seeing how long it takes to deliver a follow up shot with each. I have...

    Thanks. I was leaning 7 PRC but with all the small caliber discussions I was second guessing myself. This group has so much more experience than I do I figured it could only help.

    These are the three platforms I have.

    Not the regular what cartridge poll.

    My tag is for a bull and the poll seems to match my gut for the 7. I dumped a wolf with it last year when I was elk hunting. I was prone on a lumpy rock outcrop but I managed to get set up okay and when he walked into the last window I had for him I took the shot. I did lose my sight picture...

    That is the one I used on the little Alaska blacktail. The lungs and heart were mush every time.

    That is the 7 PRC. So far its leading the poll too.

    Not the regular what cartridge poll.

    I have three very reliable and accurate rifles I am considering for my upcoming elk hunt. I have been on several elk hunts but so far I am just a pack mule and have not had the opportunity to punch my own tag. I have only seen one elk take a hit and it took two. I am headed out on an Idaho elk...
