Re: Scope magnification advice

I use Leupold 8.5-25 on all my "little" guns. Not so much for the 50 mm objective as for the extra magnification at the range. That additional 5x seems to really make a difference to my old eyes compared to 20x. Most of our shooting is paper but when we take our squeak shootin trips, we ra...

Re: Clean burning powders for the 204 Ruger ?

Benchmark and graphite here as well. I'm also finding success with H322 and 40 grain Noslers in a 9 twist barrel.

Re: Large-objective scopes on Coopers

Hey Dan, here's my lopsided take on this. I love Leupold scopes and most of our shooting is target. About 20% of our work is on real squeaks. For target work we tend to like 25x out at 300-400 yards. For squeaks we generally shoot at about 10x-16x. To get that 25x we need to go with 50mm objectives....

Re: squeak peek

Finally got home. Trigger finger is on ice and butt is sore. Boy oh boy did we have some fun. Biggest video problem was agreeing on which squeak we were going to shoot. I had the camera on my scope and my brother was shooting. Here is the luckiest squirrel on the planet. We probably shot him later i...
