I have built a 6.5x284 on a Czech vz24. It was a good performer till the barrel was shot out. I've replaced it this winter and am in the middle of finishing up before testing.

A couple pics of the vultures at were circling me. I heard that there was a Golden eagle hanging out in the area. So I climbed 1k feet and waited.

I keep my unit 1 in my truck at all times and add it to my pack when I leave the truck. I hunt with my wife and kids and their safety is worth the extra wieght.

CMP=civilian marksman program. Most matches are shot @ 200 yard or 100 yards with redused targets. you shoot standing/slow fire-sitting/rapid fire-prone/rapid and prone/slow fire. check local ranges to see if they have any matches. the best part is after you shoot a match you can order M1...

leave it as is and shoot it in CMP matches. there are enough chopped up P-17 out there

I like the hornady 68gr hpbt out to 300 and hornady 75 hpbt out to 600. I've been using both in my bushmaster ar for about two years. The 75gr are seated out so far they won't fit in the mag.

Spokane Rifle Club has been shooting alot of mid range F-class this summer. the last match is 09-23 but there is one more 600 yard practise on 09-21.

shape it the way you want to fit your shooting style. that's the bennifit of carving a stoch by hand. i've made serverial stocks from blanks and have learned alot from each one. my advice is to use a scraper more and chisels less. go slowly and TAKE YOUR TIME because once you remove wood you...

bunny ear bag. I was refering to the rear bag rest that is next to your windshield. I prefer mine as hard as I can get it. I've noticed that a soft bag can contribute to vertical stinging. the reason i pay attention to wear my cross hairs settle after the shot is because if I set up my body...

bigbuck. I hope you were using the bunnyear bag and not the fluffy pillow. is your bunny ear bag soft or hard?? and do you remember were your cross hairs settled after the shot?? Calib don't try this in...

Re: Shooting results !!!!!! (Today) are you using a scope level? were you shooting with a bipod or another type of rest?

I'm only pushing mine @ 2850-2875. In both of the 6.5x284 I've built, this seems to be the most accurate using 45.5 gr of h4350.
