Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

I'm betting my "one" shot group will be just as competitive as everyone else's. ;) ;) ;) :lol:

Re: electronic powder scales

The electronic scales usually need several minutes to warm up and they become "more" stable, but the two that I have used still would drift which requires recalbrating or "zeroing" on a regular basis. They are accurate but it's frustrating to keep hitting the tare/zero button num...

Re: Skippy Flies via 32gr Motivation

Hah, didn't think about the PB thing and posting pictures. Looks like it was still a good trip, cool mornings, then warming up is perfect IMO. We've had lows in the upper 60's to low 70's with high humidity here in E TN for most of July, highs in the low to mid 90's. AC is working OT and will be for...

Re: Is the 204 Ruger right for me...?

Thanks RIO, kinda figured that but never hurts to ask. Head shots are more challenging anyways. LOL

Re: Is the 204 Ruger right for me...?

Is the 17HMR still effective with body shots at 200 on rock chucks? Quick & clean kill, or a lot of crawl offs, etc.??

Re: Scpoe Mounts for Anschutz 1517 Heavy Barrel?

RIO; I tried 2 different sets of medium and one set of high rings and did not get the clearance (actually no clearance :eek: ) and read where people had success with the Talley high rings on the 64MPR, so to end my frustration, I went that route. I have more clearance than I wanted/needed but I can ...

Re: Scpoe Mounts for Anschutz 1517 Heavy Barrel?

I put some Talley "high" rings on my 64MPR to get the clearance I needed for a Sightron 36x scope. I use this rig in ARA matches. Allows me to shoot free recoil on a rest & rear bag. Different uses, but I need the high rings for scope clearance.

Re: Morning Walkabout with my 20VT

I grew up not far from Rogersville, still have family in the "Tri-Cities" area in upper E TN. Yeah we have GH's & yotes around here, but it's hard to find land owners that will give you permission to hunt their property. I have gotten permission from a couple of owners but their proper...
