    To those that actually shot a 1k shot!

    Why not start with yourself? ;-) I have yet to have a 1K opportunity. Not a lot of 1000 yd stretches around here without crossing any number of roads, property lines, and more practically, forests. The longest possible shot with reasonable back drop, on my uncle's farm about an hour south, is...

    Long Range Reality

    You may also find the snark of some long range shooters a little off-putting... another reason to stay content with your practical applications at 600 yds... just my additional $.02

    Long Range Reality

    The challenge is the reward. I've never hit (or tried to... yet!) anything past 800 yds, but that's a product of opportunity (or the lack there of), not a lack of desire or ability. It's more work and more expense. The farther our you go, the more you have to consider and incorporate into the...

    I’m done with Remington

    It's SOP because it introduces factors outside of the manufacturer's control. Almost any warranty writer will include that kind of verbiage because the liability clause is torn wide open when you introduce uncontrollable factors. Having been on both sides of these situations, it's frustrating...

    Irrational Dislike

    I am primarily a hunter, and from that perspective, I think people like what has worked well for them, worked well consistently, and been enjoyable to use. Following that logic, I have a strong bias toward the 7mm-08. I love it, I recommend it whenever I get the chance. I may even go so far as...

    What else do I need

    I'm with a Glockula and Horsey... A quarter bore or other similar bolt action medial between .223 and .30. I know because I was in your shoes exactly, when it came to rifles, then I got a 7mm-08 and it is filled a hole in my heart I didn't know existed! :D

    Last Day of Deer Season

    Red Rick, I was out in Va, The Shenandoah Valley area, on Saturday as well. It was brutal! I had 4 layers on, but by the time I went in, 4 weren't enough. I passed up a decent 4 point and a very nice looking doe just because I didn't want to deal with the process after the shot. I like even...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    I bought an early 80's Savage 110E in .243 with a basic Simmons 3-9x40... from a friend. He hadn't shot it in 12 years. I cleaned it and put 4 shots on a 10 of Hearts at 100 yds. I feel fortunate to have gotten a really good deal!

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    Good morning! I'm new as of about 5 minutes ago. I've been into guns, rifles mostly, since my dad bought me my first Marlin 25N when I was 8. I am also an active deer, varmint and predator hunter. I also just started reloading for my bolt action rifles this past Christmas. My favorite rifle is...
