The most prolific hunter I ever met, was a homeless man, back in the 1970-80's. He had built a little tarr-paper shack in an undeveloped wooded section that bordered my uncle's property, and was living "off the grid". He was subsistence hunting daily, using primitive weapons he made himself...

If he has any March scopes he wants to get rid of, I have a vintage 80's Bushnell Sportview, a Nikon Pro-staff, and a couple old Leupolds that I'll trade him.

Hmm, what "pro's" would you be referring to? I look at the equipment lists at national level benchrest matches and F-class matches and March seems to be on at least half of the top ten every time. I have talked to "Benchrest Hall of Fame" shooters who've tried **** near everything on the...

I use my labradar tripod.

Already have a 6PPC, what's the difference between it and a 6ARC?

I know little about night vision / thermal tech etc... want a good bang for the buck day/night optic to mount on an LR-308 to cull pigs.

Have taught numerous people to reload over the years, but failed to teach even more. The interest has to be there on THEIR part, I compare it to teaching someone to play a musical instrument, some only have enough interest to learn to pund out chopsticks with two fingers on the piano, some can...

Amen, most competition shooters struggle to keep their guns on tune, wich seems near impossible for hunters and folks who have to shoot one and done, who don't get fowlers, or sighters, and have to take the first shot for score every time so to speak.

I also shoot F-class, witch is shot from the prone, from bipods in FTR, and at mid to long range, using midsize calibers like .308, .284, 6.5, and the RSAUM's, and I think it is a better basis for comparison of what is realistic than short range benchrest. The ten ring is 1.0 MOA, the X-ring is...

But I was citing two-gun grand aggs.

NBRSA national Cactus Clasic 2019, using all custom 6ppc/6br rifles, high end March and Nightforce competition scopes, custom benchrests like Farly and SEB-Neos, carefully tuned handloads and custom benchrest bullets, many making their own, the best equipment money can buy, few competators have...

It depends on a lot of factors, being a competative benchrest shooter, and spending time with folks who must shoot 0.3" agregates to have a prayer, and aggs in the teens to be consistantly competative. This has made me very sceptical of most claims made here. Consistantly shooting five shot...

Very simple solution ,rechamber to .284 Win, you're there, and can go even hotter no problem, if you want to tone it down, just reduce your load. Thos cartrige was designed to give .280 Rem performance in a short action with a .473" bolt face. Handloaders can often approach 7mm Rem Mag performance.

That's what happens when we listen to more experienced idiots. When I started shooting small-bore competion in high-school, a lot of competition shooters said you should never clean your rifle and I believed them. When I started shooting benchrest a hall of fame shooter told me to buy a...

The acromian process of a large elk's scapula, is about 1.5-2" of calcified bone with little or no marrow, at 60 yards this bullets still moving close to 3000fps, I would expect any bullet hitting that much bone, moving that fast would splatter almost like shooting a steel plate at a similar...
