For the VX-5HD series, I would try and get TMOA; it’s simple enough to use hunting but still gives you all the data you need for more technical shooting. HOWEVER, the 3-15x44 I want doesn’t come in that reticle, so I’d recommend HTMR in that case. It’s basically the same thing except it’s in...

My Kimber did this exact thing to me a few years ago. Blew the magazine guts out the grip and everything. The only difference was that in my case my sunglasses were safely on my forehead; I’ve since been much better about eye pro.

Stupid California! I’d love to have this, but alas... Our judges need to get to work on our pending cases.

Here’s what I’ve learned though (with a few exceptions on either side): Rye>Bourbon My current favorite is this 119.1 proof Whistle Pig, although for $20 the Old Forester rye is very good too.

Best bourbon depends strongly on my mood. Buffalo trace is a good standby as others have mentioned. I like Noah’s Mill for a gentler buttery flavor. I prefer my bourbon to have a stronger flavor than most, so many of the whiskeys that some might call “smooth” I call “weak.” Note that strong...

Perhaps a relevant follow up question (like many good questions) is what are you using it for? Is weight an issue? What kind of height (or lack thereof do you need)? Also, how heavy is the scope? If you’re talking about mounting something like a 2lb vortex razor on a 5.5lb 30-06, you’ll need...

Lol. Any way you can make this a short action m5? I’ve been needing one. Haha

I have an AG composites VG2 built by/for stocky’s and I really like it. Stocky’s has switched it’s carbon fiber manufacturing to in-house however, and they don’t seem to be actually producing much in the last few months (at least according to their website). I’ve been waiting for an M50 CF with...

704 yds on a ground squirrel with a .308. That was the shot that set the hook in my long range shooting habit, and it’ll probably stand as my record since I’d never take that shot on any animal I have sympathy for. In fairness, it wasn’t like I just cold-bore sniped him either. I’d just so...

Here’s mine by the way. US 30-40. Obviously the old girl has had a little work done, but it was well done. The cartridge has it’s limitations, I know, so this usually lives in the back of my safe. Still, this is the smoothest turn-bolt and most balanced rifle I own. Not going to replace it...

I’ve never seen one with a loading gate that opens like that. Is that a common variant?

I know it goes against the current paradigm of “get low then get lower,” but for hunting I love the harris s series 12-25 bipod. It’s the one with three section legs and friction locks. At 12” it’s a slight stretch to get up to prone, but very do-able and it’s usually tall enough to get over the...

You're the only one I’ve heard from that actually has one. Sounds like in-house QC is disappointing. Better to skip on an M50 and keep saving for a Manners MCS-T?

Is your Stocky’s made VG2 one of the new Carbon Fiber ones? Or fiberglass or polymer?

Greetings from Northern California. Nice super match. I hope it didn’t take as much fiddling as my loaded did.
