Sweet rig.

That is some pretty country!

Sold pending funds.

I have a 4.5-14 x 44 w/ Z-1000 reticle and target turrets. Like new. It's been mounted on one gun with Signature-z rings (so I assume no ring marks), range only, 65 shots fired with a low recoil cartridge. $525 shipped. Would trade plus cash toward Sightron SIII or Vortex Viper with MOA reticle.

7mm STW, 26" 9 twist light varmint fluted, Borden Rimrock stock, Wyatt's box, Leupold VX3 LR 4.5-14x40 M1 knobs, 9.8 lbs loaded. I built this rifle in 2008 (my first build) as a newbie to LR and custom rifles. Knowing what I know now I might change a few components and the smith but it would...

Mikecr- Thanks for the reply. So if I used a bushing die to reduce the neck substantially, wouldn't I then have to expand a portion of the neck to accept the bullet? Or are you saying just jamb the bullet part way (thus the cheap bullets) which would create the shelf? Next question is if I...

Could someone guide me through the process of creating a false shoulder on my parent cases for fireforming to the improved chamber? So far I have fired mid range parent case loads set to SAMMI COAL, and I have also used the Cream of Wheat method. The gun is shooting well but I had a case head...

I've shot 160 Nos Accubonds, 168 Berger VLDs, 180 VLDs and have had good accuracy results with all using H100 and 7828ssc. Groundhogs to elk, the 180 Bergers work for me in my STW and are all I shoot now. I doubt I'll ever tinker with different loads for this gun again. I had to build a...

At a job interview. Human Resources Manager: What is your biggest weakness? Old Man: Honesty Human Resources Manager: I don't think honesty is a weakness. Old Man: I don't give a crap what you think.

I saw her standing there and I told her she had three beautiful children. She didn't have to get all ****ed off and threaten me with Jihad. It was an honest mistake.

Another vote for the Sightron Siii. I have the 8-32. Great glass and accurate repeatable turrets. Kevin Cram recomended the Sightron for my 260 target/ varmint rig and boy am I happy I listened to him. The only thing that would make it better would be the MOA reticle which wasn't offered when I...

I moved here from Idaho in 2000 and still feel like a displaced westerner. The Eastern Shore has been good to me but I couldn't live without my hunting/ fishing/ camping vacations to the rocky mountain states. Going on your first DIY hunt out of state seems like a daunting task but with some...

I'm glad it worked out
