In some areas they will start showing in Feb/March depending on weather and temps. Right now my area is still cold, wet and even snow covered so it may well be into late March before I see any poking their heads out. But I am ready to see some.
Hope you can find some earlier and begin having fun.

You might even check the Savage Axis in 204 R. You would be surprised how well it shoots, for a rifle around $500.00 , but if you want to stick to those two, then I would say go with the savage 110.

Yes Rick many came home, many did not. My youngest son made it back from Desert Storm safe and sound. Most of all the Old Guard are resting in peace.

Same this morning, with me Rick. Fresh snow on top of the present snow. I am so anxious to get into the fields and rocks, but alas must wait another Month or so. darn.

All I will add, for now, is "YES" Bill K

Yes Varmint Shooter, we had some fine times afield prior too you moving to Colo. Both of us have some fine shooting rifles and took a good number of small critters in those pivots and also a decent number of Rock chucks in the lava, always leaving some for seed. Also a few coyotes, called in. Good t...

I have been asked to put some input regarding my methods of loading my ammo and rifle/s that I have used to place in the top three, on the last 3-4 5 on a Dime shoots. I don't think I do must different than most of you do, from what I read on your posts. But here is my manner. First I take at least ...

TK, Please don't drop out. Stick around and help keep this site alive. We need input, comments and even plain old discussion to help the to occur.
So reconsider your choice and climb back onboard.

I can understand Rick to some degree about sticking to the subject and the original reason for the 204R site. However some of the added discussion and comments sure has livened up the site, from a few weeks back to a lot more, even if from a few, to some activity. So I guess it can be like a two edg...

I noted that very few have actually said they were on board and waiting for the further date and target and will actually shoot in the upcoming shoot, if it does go to press, sort of saying. I know I will shoot in it, if and when. Win, loose or draw as they say.

Thanks Rick for the further explanation. I knew the original F/B was to aid in boosting FPS, ala R. Weatherby. And I believe I remember the reason for the caution on shooting factory ammunition in the Match Chamber. But now that point is clear up with your comment and I thank you for that.

If we take not too seriously and just enjoy ourselves we are much better off in the long haul. I will be waiting for skipper to fire up the shoot, give us the target/s to print, etc. then shoot one for entry and sit back and see how others do also, again for fun and peace of mind.

I like my Saturn funnels, but when I bought they had none for 17's. May have to order one, but may just stick with the kitchen household funnel I have been used as it fits perfect inside the 17 neck and has been working as such for years now. I like those Saturn funnels. Snowing again today, so may ...

I am waitng also TK. In fact yesterday was a little warmer ( 40 degrees) with sunshine, so I ran up to a large gravel pit and places a target with a 1/2 dot or two and played with one 20 and on 17 caliber rifle I will probably shoot with and a couple of my reloads. Felt good and they were all holdin...

The upcoming shoot that Skipper is presenting is going to be along the lines he chooses to do, not the majority of the shooters making suggestions and comments. As Skipper said if someone wants to step up and put on, handle, score and work a multi competition with various styles, then step up, prese...
