Check the fps readings at the 10 yard increments, maybe you weren't picking them up until 50 yards or something.

Bh209 is black horn 209, if you didn't catch that. It is loose powder. If legal in your state, its the way to go. You'll want to charge by weight, not volume with it, Just like you would smokeless.

Haven't heard about donkeys, but you can shwack a horse on DNR ground in eastern Oregon if you're into packing out a literal horse.

I second chad at LRI. He just posted something on SH about threading an encore barrel on a mill. Thread 'Muzzle threading Thompson Center break action single shot rifles the LRI way. :)'...

The best? Probably the Area 419 zero.

None of the 4 pages so far matter one **** bit until you get a good average velocity number. From there it takes 35 seconds to get you a dope chart to as far as you want. Figure out how fast those bullets are going then come back. Or download strelok and plug it in yourself.

I'm guessing COhntr means you'll be in Colorado. I'm in Washington, so our laws are a bit different, but as I recall Colorado is even more restrictive. No scopes, no sabots, no smokeless powder right? What's the status on 209 primers or other modern ignition systems? Does the breech have to be...

Jeeze.... Apparently no one realizes that $20/hr is pretty decent for Idaho. Plus it's actually a free state. Boise is kind of a hole though.... if I could talk the wife into cutting her salary in half I'd move over and do this while o wasn't firefighting.

You're misrepresenting what you said, that's a fact. You stated my post count then go snippy about me not making an introduction post or knowing how it works around here. Ive done plenty of observation in 7 months. If you bothered to check anything besides my post count you would see that most...

That's all fine and dandy until something like this happens. I was simply suggesting ways to keep yourself from getting stung. Again, a couple hundred bucks is a pretty cheap lesson on this stuff. I've certainly learned more expensive ones. Trust but verify.

I'm not sure what post count has to do with anything. You took two words out of my post and decided to get sassy about it, completely ignoring the rest of it, which I think was constructive, by the way. Then you attack me because of a low post count.I bet you're fun at parties.

Looks to me like the barrel was contacting the left side and it was clearenced to fix that issue. Maybe that was the case, maybe not, but I can see why the seller thinks there's no issue there. I've seen plenty of higher end factory rifles with barrels cocked to one side or another. I'm...

That spot on the back of the action or across the ring bases.

The leica PRS is a good option too, not to make it more complicated for ya... I'd personally be plenty happy with the athlon. I've got a couple and theyre great. My buddy has a toric that is good too. I see no difference in the glass between those two.

My local sportsman's has lowa, Crispi, and kenetreks in stock to get an idea of what fits. When I got my Crispi's a couple years ago I had to bounce around stores trying stuff on. I don't remember the model name, but they're waterproof and 200 gram insulated. Work great for any of the big game...
