It shoots really well. Yeah, good luck with the Ringmounts. I hope it works for you... The gun is good. I'm incredibly OCD, so there are some things that bother me about the design. So I'm constantly tinkering... Feel free to reach out to me with any setup questions.

Bill, Thank you for the offer. I have some 32s. It has been suggested by the guys I'm going with that the wind will be a major factor where we will be hunting. I picked the wrong time to get into this. I completely understand no one wanting to part with the 39s if they are as good as I have been re...

I finally completed my load development for, 35 Bergers, 32 SBKs, 34 Dogtown, 39 SBKs. I had the tightest groups with 35 Berger and A2230 at 27.6 gr in Nosler Brass. I decided to hook up a magneto V3 chronograph and see where my velocities were. In other calibers I've been pretty close to powder man...

I am very excited. The waiting time isn't a state mandate here, its just a function of insane demand fo...

Hi guys, decided to go all in on a new Sako Varmint stainless in 204. That is definitely swinging for the fences for me... and by a 2-3× margin the most expensive rifle I've ever purchased. I haven't actually seen it in person yet. I have about 5 days of waiting on background check in Biden's Americ...

I have three minis. One in an Oryx chassis, one in a Boyd’s pro varmint with magazine bottom metal and one in a B&C stock with flush bottom metal. I like them all with the provarmint 222 being a favorite. The B&C rig is a 6.5 Grendel and is a lite, short handy rig. The Oryx chassis, this to...
