    Cartridge Bullet Change of Heart

    Fist let me say "forgive me Lord for I have sinned", I AM NOT A RELOADER. That said I do, and have enjoyed shooting for years. The problem was money, or a lack there of. I have been able to hunt though since the eighties and loved shooting the Hornady line of cartridges since they came out in...

    Leupold VX-3i or VX-5HD, which one?

    I have two VX5HD 3-15X44 with the fire dot, if your budget permits go with the vx5 all day long. You will not regret it, and I am someone who used to work for a living and clearly remember the first time I could afford a LEUPOLD.

    Scope movment

    On top of that after having a loose scope/base years ago I believe in blue loctite. Some my disagree thts fine, but as someone said when I'm through I know its right and if not I'm to blame. You will not regret getting that torque wrench, just adds to the confidence level.

    Just be careful about their "in stock: items. I think sometimes they mean in stock as soon as they get them, maybe just my experience.

    HOWA questions here

    I like the Howa, but the pdf catalog a pain to navigate. Is there any chance y’all are going to create a website where a person could more easily jump between the style and model that Howa makes.

    Eldx issues

    You are absolutely correct sir, Eld-x ant the sst are hunting bullets. The Eldx really preforms beyond 400 yards. I have the same issues with it at short yardage as you mentioned so I am switching. The SST is a great bullet, I have used it for years in my 25-06 with excellent results. I think...

    Used 25-06 help

    I have the BDL in a .243 and 25-06 from the mid 80's and early 90's both drive nails. When you find one you will not be disappointed. The funny thing is I keep hearing how the 25-06 is on the way out thanks to the 6.5 craze. I also have a 6.5 cm in a Tikka T3X but i still love my 25 and cannot...

    first rifle scope

    I firmly agree as an old dinosaur whose live on a budget, I've shot everything from Tasco to Leupold, and as someone with vast knowledge and infinite wisdom I am going to tell you this. Don't let your desire for the best over rule your budget. Today the mid range scopes are better than the top...

    Tikka Replacement Stock

    I choose to re-stock my Tikka t3x lite added .25 lb to overall weight but I also replaced the bottom plastic with bottom metal from HIGH DESERT RESEARCH everything fit like a glove and rifle shoots much "GOODER" now.

    Tikka Replacement Stock

    Another vote for the B&C, I replace the stock and bottom medal on my Tikka T3X lite accuracy improved greatly. I had never had a plastic stock before but was very impressed with the installation of the stock and the bottom metal I got from High Desert Research.

    Rings for my new VX-5

    I have used the Leupold std rings on several rifles over the years. With that said the only negative thing I have to say is on two I have had a ring screw break where it screwed into the bottom ring, not something you need to find when hunting. I recently bought some Warne rings to go on my VX-5.

    Howa Gamepro questions

    Then why buy the package deal and not just the rifle. Don't know anything, good or bad, about Nikko. I have always felt the package deals were a way to sell midgrade scopes.\, not saying there's not a reason just my onion.

    New stock

    IT DID GOOD!!! Bought a box of Hornady match 140 grain, box of Nosler BT 140 grain, and a box of Precision Hunter 143 grain. I sighted in with the match, see the last three shots. Tried the Nosler, It was ok, not great, then shot the Precision Hunter. Below is the Match and PH targets.
