For ME, lt depends on my AGE. My true GOLD Standard for a prairie dog scope is the ability to see a 22 caliber hole in a target @ 200yds. 35 yrs ago when l first started shooting prairie dogs a 14 power Leupold was enough. Now @ age 78 it takes a 35x Leupold :-(

They are builders RB. Might l suggest you study up on them. Truly amazing creatures. A trip to Ft Hood during Desert Storm in 1990 lntroduced me to them. l have returned many times to shoot and admire them.

Sir.. Prairie Dogs most definitely are NOT like hogs. Wild Hogs are an invasive species that serve absolutely no benefit to man or the land. They are much worse than Starlings. Prairie Dogs are the BUILDERS of the prairie. Virtually every native animal on the prairie lives in holes DUG by...

DC. Those are pretty scrambled. Still can't compare to shooten em in the SNOW!

l don't know. 1963 were my HS days.

l have owned ONE Savage in my lifetime. Twas a recent Thumbhole 17 varmint. A total pain, gave it to my son. He still cusses me. My all-time favorite rimfire rifle company is CZ. l long for a CZ457 Varmint in17WSM

l have a Cooper in TAC20. Simply point and shoot out to 300yds. A TRUE 4000fps, just as flat as a 22-250 with HALF the recoil. Retired the 22-250

Jiggy, 2 bore is a 35 hundred grain bullet. l think l remember reading about Sir Samuel's 2 Bore in my high school days. l remember the gun being a single shot. App 18 pounds, Usually sold in pairs. A trusted gun bearer hopefully backed 0le Sam up. My 458 Win 70 was super accurate with anything...

Both 53s shoot quite well from my Cooper 21 Varmint in 222Rem. l have not tried any 53s in my Cooper Varmint in 223Rem. unless marked most CF 224cal Coopers are 1 n 12 twist. Prairie dog bullets need SPEED in these small cases. l think that's where the 40gr VMAX really shines. At 200yds a good...

Never been to Pine Ridge Reservation. Been to Ft Wayne lnd at a Motorola radio school for the Army before Desert Storm. Saw Rushmore which is further West still. Flew into Rapid City, missing The Pine Ridge. Almost 30yrs around the US l saw quite a few ARs, M4s, M16s. l never considered them a...

Bar. l have 500 VMAX 53gr and 600 VARMEGEDDONS 53S l will be happy to donate ''one-at-a-time'' to help ease your pain. l've done South Dakota 3 times over the years. Twice on the Rosebud Res. Once near Mclntosh SD with Dave & Molly TemBroek on their ranch. Just pm me date/time. l will be there...

We have an open southern border. Maybe 10,000 a day. You or l may call them all sorts of names. The White House calls them VOTES for Joe. Put 'Joe's voters' to work catching their beef dinner in New Mexico

Everything fordy said is true. l think by saying ''torch'' he means FLASHLIGHT! l tumble my fired cases twice. 0nce before sizing and again after. Double tumbling keeps your dies clean. Gives you shiny bright ammo too. That shows you and others the pride of your work. 0ne can ONLY of powder on...

All it needs is a shooting rest/forks. PERFECT for prairie dogging!

PPU brass l have used is not consistent by weight in 222 or 223. SIG is very consistent in 223 followed by Norma. Another great 223 brass is AUSA. Sorriest of all 222/223s has always been Winchester. R-P is the softest 223 brass l have used. l reform 223 cases into TAC20 and 222Rem. One pass...
