    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    I have that one. I am pleased with it, so far. We'll see how it goes, I just saw that you evaluated it. I think the next one I get will be the RS2.

    Painless load development (mine)

    I know I can test this all myself but I figured I would ask the question here. I read through this a while ago and have been keeping up with the updates. My question is, for a novice reloader, is there a need to get into neck tension yet? With my limited understanding, in order to control for...

    Show your Tikka ten round groups

    100 yds, zero check on 6.5cm using 140 S&B ammo I picked up for cheap practice and getting the barrel broken in with 200 rounds. This is after about 2 months and 100s of miles driven in the truck on rough roads. Tikka 6.5CM 140S&B box ammo UM low Rings Maven RS.1 I bedded this one and...

    Am I missing something? How much do environmentals affect trajectory?

    Well that's what has pushed me to start shooting and getting the experience myself. And I'm finding the numbers to not be the mystical math equations I thought before starting getting (high-ish) round counts down range.

    Am I missing something? How much do environmentals affect trajectory?

    I guess I didn't have an issue with what was said in terms of elevation as I have areas where I can hunt right at sea level and end up with a negative DA and up to 8-9,000 ft where the DA could be 10,000. And when you look at these charts, 8,000 - 10,000 ft actual elevation seems to not have a...

    Am I missing something? How much do environmentals affect trajectory?

    @Macintosh that's the train of thought I was on. I live in Western Oregon and hunt in the east part so potentially a DA of 1000 to 7000 in the areas I hunt. I was just trying to wrap my head around the idea that it may not be as "scary" or hard to get close enough environmentals to make those...

    Am I missing something? How much do environmentals affect trajectory?

    New-ish long range shooter here. I recently bought a Tikka 6.5CM for my wife ;) and I've been doing a LOT more shooting as a result. For this discussion, assume shooting out to 800yds and hunting out to 500yds. I live basically at sea level and I try to get shooting at elevation every once in a...

    Get better at windcalls

    Thanks! Thought I'd mention that watching your videos has become a "family affair" with my two young daughters( 2 and 4yr old) Haha. They ask for the hunting video where the guy shoots on an island;) I also had to start out by telling them you probably lived close to Anna and Elsa(Disney...

    Get better at windcalls

    Loved both of these videos. Can you explain why you left your zero to the left (1-2cm) on your 100m target? I know you said "spindrift" and the shots where it's close enough to see that you are "off" it probably doesn't matter on animals or large targets. Is this just personal preference so that...

    Get better at windcalls

    @THLR You have done a great job of distilling windcalls for hunting situations. I think it's most helpful that it gives a baseline of knowledge to apply before going out and doing your own practice. Early on, with SPF, it was frustrating at times in really windy conditions shooting 3-400yds. but...

    It's lovely to see that a discussion about stock barrel contours can turn into "I hunt thicker stuff than you":ROFLMAO:

    What is in my safe!

    First off, Winchester M70's come in a few flavors - pre-64s and post 64s. My dad raised me in a Winchester household and we mostly had the CRF versions as dad had a push-feed fail on him while on a bull because a bit of rust in the chamber cause the case to stick in the chamber and the push feed...

    Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

    As soon as my hunting season is done, I plan on giving it a try. I'll post it up what I try.

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    Win M 70 PRE 64 CRF Short Action Up until now I buy a stock and modify it. It works but off the shelf would be better.

    Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

    Do you think this will stick well to the stock without overlaying CF and resin? I think I'm gonna try this to build out the grip on a HS Precision Sporter. I watched the vids online and it seems like it will bond but I'm wondering about the long term strength of it.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    I could see this being my first FFP scope if it works. I like the look of the MOA reticle on the RS.1

    Best Mesh for Hip Vents

    Thanks for all the replies. The pants say they are 90% Nylon so I assume it would be better to go with some sort of Nylon mesh for the venting material? I'm not so worried about picking up burrs if they stay on the outside of my pants or vents. Gives me something to do while eating my lunch;)
