And yet there are lots of people from other western states that wonder why so many leave this state! ;)

Welcome for SW Washington

A man after my own heart with your references!!! Love them. I get accused, often, of being a smart ars when using, what I consider, great references. I couldn't agree more on you last line!!

I have had nothing but success with the ELD-X in my 7mag in 162 gr. and my 270 in 145 gr. The accuracy has been incredible out of both guns. My one and only complaint is that anything shot under about 200yds with them and you will have bad blood shot. Beyond that, they have performed great...

Ah yes. That does bring back some great memories. I remember skipping school as a teenager, to go hunting and riding our dirt bikes to the school first just to show off that we were skipping. Rifles slung over our backs and doing wheelies in the parking lot. A couple of times, a few teachers...

Welcome from the wet side of Washington.

Picked up a sweet little M77 RSI/Mannlicher in 7x57 and would like to take that stock off to keep in great shape and replace with a Lightweight or Ultra light so I can hunt with it. These are new waters for me so not sure I can do that. Can anyone tell me if that is possible? Seems like it...

Great point Muddy! I did once however, go against all warnings and filled an old Mauser 98 7x57 barrel with Sweets 7.62 due to the worst case of fouling and neglect I have ever seen and let it sit overnight with golf tee's in each end. My cipherin was, "If it eats the entire barrel, I'm not...

I second the Benchmark. I have two and both have been fantastic!

Boy howdy! I don't even get on the scale anymore. I just put on some of my Kuiu gear to tell me that I need to shed some weight!!

Yet being the key word. A few of us are in the same boat as a bunch of posters here with a handful of points and the creep about to hit. Hoping to draw and move on for sure. Man, how things have changed since I first started going out of state many years ago. I can remember one year a long...
