    .257 Bob Makeover

    It is the original stock. I sanded it, primed it, and than alcohol inked. I was going to leave it original, but the stock had some hair line fractures in it, and this one will definitely be in the field a bunch. Probably would have kept more value leaving it original, but it's going to be used a...

    .257 Bob Makeover

    I found this late 50’s, Remington 722, 18” barrel in a pawn shop in West Phoenix. It’s had a 1950’s Weaver on it, and smelled like cigarettes. Already had a super crisp trigger, that probably goes at 3# or so. If it could talk I bet it could tell some cool western hunting stories. Shoots lights...

    Embarrassing

    It is 100% a blessing. I joked in the post about leaving my son at home, but all my children are attached to my hip in the outdoors and pretty much everywhere else for that matter. If it were not for Jesus, and not for me hearing the Gospel 7 years ago, my family would have most likely ended up...

    163gr 25cal chinchaga bullets

    I just talked to him. He said he is about a month out. What do you put in your programs for a B.C? I will probably be able to push them 29-2950fps.

    10MM Reloading Questions

    Dropped it to 12 grains. Ran a clip through it this am, everything cycled great. Brass looked good.

    163gr 25cal chinchaga bullets

    I want to give the 163's a try in my Bee. How do you order these, I went online and couldn't find much? Do they provide a ballpark B.C?

    Embarrassing

    My 9 year old beat me 7 fish to 3 fish the other morning, and caught the two biggest. He had 8 hook ups, only loosing one. Might leave him at home next trip.
