My method of prairie dog shooting is to just walk around the prairie dog town and when I find a spot where there's a bunch of PDs up and about, I go prone on the nearest mound and do some shooting. I usually don't get excited about trying to fire off a ton of shots. I like to space my shots out so m...

Keep those prairie dog "action" photos coming. That middle picture is truly one of the best RED MIST PHOTOS I have ever seen! Thanks for posting that sequence.

That is some very nicely figured wood in that stock!!! Wood to drool over, indeed!!! I hope it is a shooter for you too. I like the paw prints you were able to place on the barrel--definitely a unique barrel.

Shooter-- I have a borescope and cannot detect any "rough spots" that would cause ONLY the 32 gr. Sierra BlitzKing bullets to tumble. That is the ONLY bullet that has tumbled and I am up to 1,827 shots down the barrel. I was really disappointed with the 32 gr. Sierras. I was so sure that ...

goody523-- Here's a link to where I purchased my .172 caliber nickel plated jag. http://www.midwayusa.com/esearch.exe/search?TabID=0&category_selector=all_products&search_keywords=Tipton+ultra+jags My .172 caliber nickel plated jag is too short--the 3/4" square patches that I use are l...

Keith in Ga-- I experienced the same thing when trying to contact Terry Paul--he is very slow at answering e-mails and very slow and returning phone calls. We did eventually make contact and I ordered two bottles of the Patch Out product. Delivery time wasn't very quick either, but I did receive my...

My Savage 12VLP likes the 39 gr. Sierra BKs, but some of the 32 gr. Sierra BKs tumble when velocities get much above 3,875 fps. I can shoot the 32 gr. V-Max bullets at 4,255 fps and have no problems with tumbling bullets.

craigyboy-- If you do not have one already, purchase a good rod guide. Find one with a rubber o-ring on the chamber end. The Lucas bore guides are good ones and Sinclair makes good ones out of Derlin. Anyway, put the rod guide into the chamber/action on your rifle and spray the Wipe-Out in from the...

rayfromtx-- You can disagree all you want, that's part of the beauty of these forums and if I am giving totally erroenous information, I certainly want to know. My reply to WT was in "general terms" and based on the instructions that come with the offset inserts. Clearly, you have first-h...

rayfromtx-- You are 100% correct on the +/- numbers in that they are not degrees but thousandths. My BAD!!! :oops: :oops: WT-- Fortunately, when you get the offset inserts, Burris is kind enough to include a set of instructions that tells you where to put the negative and positive inserts. In my ca...

dannybracy-- The Burris Signature Zee rings DO HAVE the plastic inserts. The Burris Zee rings DO NOT HAVE the plastic inserts. You have to make sure the ring set says Signature on them to insure that they have the plastic inserts. The plastic inserts are fantastic for saving the "hide" on...

WT-- Make sure you don't try to hunt prairie dogs in the North Unit of the Teddy Roosevelt Park :wink: :eek: :wink: There are some dog towns to the NW of the park. Some are on private land and some are on National Grasslands. There are one or two dog towns a mile or two north of the north portion o...

A small amount of grease on that dovetail makes it a bit easier to turn the dovetail into place and might prevent galling of the metal. The suggestion to use a 1" dowel is and excellent idea. Too late now for your application, but I have given up on the dovetail mounts. I will use nothing but t...

Very interesting to read about the way you fellows adjust for various distance shots. For colony rodent shooting, I make liberal use of my Leica 1200 range finder and then check out the drop for my bullet at that yardage on the trajectory and wind deflection chart I have taped to the side of my stoc...

WT-- I have not received any PMs from you. However, I will try to answer your question about PDs around Watford City as best I can. There are not very many PDs right around Watford City. The only ones I can think of within 5 miles or so of Watford City are right south of the golf course on the east...
