    Dumb scope question

    And remember a hot barrel will change the point of impact a lot so let it cool between shots. I shoot 3 shots with a few minutes between each, see where it hits, let barrel cool a few minutes while making adjustments, then shoot 3 more again. I prefer 3 shot groups when adjusting because if...

    torquing the rifle stock

    When it comes to the wheeler wrench.... Turn the dial back down when done, and I believe you are NOT supposed to un-screw with it (un-torquing, loosening). Use a different tool for un-screwing (I take the bit out of the wheeler and put it in a screwdriver), but only use it for torquing down...

    do you have an opinion on a good cheap 1000 yrd rangfinder?

    I got my nikon monarch gold 1200 on sale at http://www.binoculars.com/rangefinders/7953+7961.cfm for sale but its still a good deal at current price. Check amazon.com too, amazon is great for stuff like that. I like the nikon so far.

    Opinion: Would removing/put back stock change POI

    Yeah I should have wiped it down better after I sighted it in and "prolixed" it but I was in a hurry. Ill be in a blind most of the time so that will cut down on the wind issue. Its dura-coated, so I can wet a few old tee shirts and spray with scent killer and slide it down the free floated...

    Rage brodhead = bad day..

    I never take neck shots for that reason. And when Im bowhunting up high, I aim a little lower since the arrow will "lift" like an airplane wing. Sorry to hear about the day, Im sure the next trip will be better.

    Opinion: Would removing/put back stock change POI

    I use a one of those fatboy torque tools for torquing my Bell and Carlson stock to my rifle. The gun is sighted in perfect but I wanted to wipe down the under-part of the barrel where the stock forearm is before I go on a hunting trip this weekend. So, assuming I re-torque the stock back with...

    Buck Jam vs Deer Cane vs Homemade Stuff

    Corn prices can be nuts. Back in 2005 they were about 3 bucks a bag, in 2008 they were about 8 bucks per bag. You can imagine my anger when hogs tipped over my feeder.

    Buck Jam vs Deer Cane vs Homemade Stuff

    Ive had luck digging a hole a foot deep or so, pouring boiled molasses, the sweet smelling brown mineral salt and jello in the hole. Fill the whole back up and deer will dig it up. Comer' deer smells good but I licked a bit of it and its pretty salty. So salt and minerals is definitely...

    How many rounds before cleaning barrel?

    How can it be overkill if your not using a harsh bore brush every time? A "liquid" cleaning with just solvents is not going to degrade the bore in my opinion, and a dry patch wont hurt the bore. And assuming it does not harm the bore, and the gun shoots better when its pretty clean with 2-3...

    From the bench to the dinner table...

    IMO, I agree with HOOFan1, 100 percent energy dumped in an animal boiler room is like a grenade going off inside a confined area. You dont need a huge blood trail when the animal expires quickly. Just dont push the animal, give it a few minutes at least and a lung/heart shot is all you need...

    How many rounds before cleaning barrel?

    Maybe cleaning with bronze brushes would be harmful over time, but nylon brushes are pretty gentle as nylon should, theoretically, not harm a bore. I clean after 15 shots or so with gunslick foam and hoppes elite especially if Im using all copper ammo. Then prolix and dry patch it. Then I put...

    My Muy Grande

    Yes, the G4s and the brows are awesome. Nice G3s too. You make a good point about putting down the bino's and using your scope to look.

    couldn't find a deer

    did you give it a few hours to lie down after you shot it too far back? sorry to hear that man.

    My Muy Grande

    Very nice. Let me ask you, when you saw him what did you think he would score or did you just know it was a shooter? I enjoy mentally scoring deer when I see them and comparing that to what they actually score.

    From the bench to the dinner table...

    Overkill is only a problem when someone shoots a caliber that they really cant handle because they think bigger is better (maybe the flinch, maybe they cant handle the recoil). Then the deer gets gut shot, or you miss. Ive never had a deer walk away from a .270.

    Scope advice

    Yeah I have leupolds and zeiss conquests. I like the turrets a lot more on the zeiss, and its more clear IMO. But I still use leupolds too.
