    Beretta 390 convert to slug gun

    it is terribly expensive and is nothing I would be in a hurry about doing and yes it does appear cheaper to buy a whole gun. I will probably just hang on to the Beretta and not convert it to a slug gun as I have browning bps 20 ga. and a Remington 1100 12 ga. Both with cantilevers and rifled...

    Can we talk backpacks? I need to buy a good one

    Awesome, yeah I think the j34 is for me; I noticed the dragonfly doesn't seem to have waterproof zippers on the main compartment(s) like the j34. Plus the dragonfly would be better suited for camping. I can't believe no other packs have copied the rifle scabbard idea. A good rifle carry...

    Can we talk backpacks? I need to buy a good one

    Glad to see replies; thank you. H&H, sounds great; do you think the expandable meat compartment can hold the majority of a boned out mule deer? I guess I would be placing the meat in game bags and then in the pack. Your post and water-mans vote makes me lean even harder towards eberlestock...

    Best Cleaning Rod

    Tipton carbon fiber is my favorite. I love how they stay sraight. I use bore snakes a lot. And shooters choice mc#7 is the best bore cleaner ever; makes a quick easy job even out of my muzzleloader barrel. Amazing stuff. My local gun store owner told me it was the best for black powder barrels...

    What is your One Caliber

    Shooting coyotes up to mule deer; I think a 270 WSM would be great; if I shot a lot of coyotes and only a couple of mule deer hunts; I'd might drop to the 270 win; which should be more of a pleasure to shoot. Although the WSM with 130 grain bullets Has pretty mild recoil in my opinion.

    When to use shims?

    I actually have a lapping bar kit. I have never lapped rings yet; nor have I done any type of bedding. I wish i did. This was only the second time I have ever used shims. I only had to fire one shot today and thanks to noting my reticle location on the grid pattern before shimming the scope, It...

    When to use shims?

    When to use shims?

    Sako 75 finnlight; actually the old OPTilock mount's consisted of bases and rings but I dislike them. I like the ring mounts that just have a large keeper screw that holds them to the taper dovetail receiver. OPTilock is making new ringmounts and they've only been out for a couple years. I have...

    When to use shims?

    I have to shim the ring; rear ring; no bases on my rig. Ringmounts Ok well I shimmed it with 5 pieces of pop can material. Now I am only 5 inches from center elevation instead of 20 inches like before. I feel much better about that. Just gotta shoot a couple more rounds. Using the grid pattern...

    When to use shims?

    I agree that the grid pattern is not a very good boresighter, doesn't get you on the paper necessarily, but it's great when switching to a new scope. Or if I take this scope off and put back on. Several times, the grid pattern has allowed me to note where my reticle is on the existing scope...

    When to use shims?

    I doubt I will achieve zero/zero but I can minimize the adjustment greatly. I guess I will note the location on my boresighters grid pattern that the reticle is now; then take the elevation back to center; then try to get as close as I can to the noted location on the grid pattern by shimming...

    When to use shims?

    Yeah I hate to go through the effort and have to shoot more $2 per round Barnes vortex ammo but It would be done The right way. I know there are tons of people who click away on the adjustments, but I would feel much better if it was zero/zero.

    When to use shims?

    I have an older Burris signature series 3-12x50 scope that I purchased in 1994. I just sighted it in and everything went well. But I had to take the elevation up about 20 inches. I looked at the erector tube from the objective end, and although it appears to be off center. It's not real far to...

    Barnes t-ez 250 gr 3" high at 75 yards

    I read where randy wakeman said that the barnes spitfire t-ez; is perfect for sighting in 3" high at 75 yards; and then you can just hold dead on at any range up to 175 yards; never being more than3" high or low. I think the zero is either 125 or 150. I probably won't be happy until I shoot it...
