    SOLD/EXPIRED SWAROVSKI X5i 3.5x18x50 $1650

    This appears to be a BRM-I reticle and says so on the box. Can you clarify? It is not, from your pix, a 4WX-I+ reticle?? Please, thank you!

    Tipton Cleaning Rod Problems

    I have purchased two 36" .22 - .264 Tipton rods in the last 3 weeks. Both have defective threads on 8/32 female ferrule. The brush or jag threads properly on initial attachment. After one to four uses the theards in the female ferrule give way/strip and on the pull with a brush the brush stays...

    6.5 PRC best lead free Factory loading for long range

    By your learned advice, it seems the Hornady 130 gr. CX is the way to go. The Copper Creek load appears to be the fastest. I guess I have no choice but to buy both and see which one is most accurate. I have extensive African experience, especially with solids, and have no issues with a velocity...

    6.5 PRC best lead free Factory loading for long range

    Adam32+P, there are other places, including some military bases/ refuges and Government facilities. It's all stupid IMHO. We generally hunt antelope to LR, sheep are another species, I just like knowing I have the legs to go there if the situation demands it. Normally 700-800 conditions make...

    6.5 PRC best lead free Factory loading for long range

    That xtra yardage over 600 IS the difference. I think the 700-750 range would be enough in reality. With the 147 ELD-M's that is chip shot range, 800-950 is possible, beyond that it's the Berger 156 game on... I think someone, somewhere must be pushing out to that 700-750 zone with confidence...

    Hello all. Please educate me as to who makes what load lead free bullets for up to 800 yard hunting? I'm beyond pleased with Hornady 147 ELD-M's. A stupid (lucky for me) dial and shoot in my off the shelf Proof Elevation (Non MTR) w/24" barrel. Sub 1/2" MOA anytime I do my job. A long awaited...

    Need advice on caliber for Moose and bear in Alaska.

    One planet, one gun... .375 H&H. solids or softs, Dik Dik to Jumbo's, and every living thing in between. Ammo widely available globally. A no brainer IMHO...

    Best lightweight rear shooting bag

    Like others here I use Crosstac Ultralight Saddle Shooting Rest Bag on a clip attached to my pack. Fast extremely light (ounces), goes on/over anything for front use, and simply cannot be beat for a rear rest when using pack for a front rest. Pix is of entire back pack kit for any shooting...

    That is a fact, and they offer preference to youth hunters, which is good. It is a big unit and highly weather dependent. The O RO is beyond my means to hunt unless I win the Lotto!!!!

    Hey guy, save a ton of money by purchasing a Proof Research Elevation (Not MTR). It weighs 6 lbs 7 ounces bare with 24" barrel (you choose length). Add lightweight 1" rings, and a quality 3-9 scope and you'll be under 7 lbs 11 ounces. The rifle retails for $3499, I purchased mine from a TX...
