I' ve got a very fine Weatherby Vanguard, which is the same rifle....mine is in 22-250. A real shooter, and well built. I have installed a Timney trigger and an aftermarket stock.

Congratulaitons. Great photos and story!! Thanks. I know you're proud, and you darn well should be, and your stepson as well!!!

What part of Oregon are you hunting? That's like the other side of the moon to us folks down here in the Bayou state.......

I shot my targets today, and will have them in the mail Monday....excuses to follow.

What are some good sources for the Nikko's? I don't see them in most of the places I've done business with in the past.....thanks,George

I've used Butch's Bore Shine as well as other solvents, and would be interested in other forum members' experience with Montana Extreme versus their BMG product. I generally use MPro7 bore cleaner because it's not too harsh, and my skin reacts badly to the stringent products. I use latex gloves when...

I've had it about six months + and am very happy with it. It just got back from getting the "hydrographic" treatment, and has a Weaver 4X16 scope.

Congratulations.....you're off the right start with what you have. I expect at some point you'll need bronze brushes. Also, some kind of cleaning cradle or stand. I've got an old MTM job, and it does the job. A really good product is the Kwik-Kradle by Hood Press. It's a cleaning cradle, plus two cl...

Out of character for me :doh: , but this time, like Hawkeye.....I actually read the instructions. They're clear that continued removing of the stem to drop the bullet in will have a negative impact on tolerances. It seems like a bit of a stretch to me, but for the time being it's working out ok hold...

FS: Boyd's Laminate Stock for Rem 700 ADL SA.....top condition, completely finished, drop in ready, just taken to the range a few times. One very small "safe ding" on left side....see photos attached....otherwise perfect. Boyd's price is $173 plus shipping...I'm asking $125 and I'll pay th...

This is Hap, my six year old German Shorthair. He's camera shy, as you can see, but still after my wife and girls, the light of my life!

I took my Ruger M77 heavy barrel to the range Saturday morning, with some ladder loads of N133, 35gr Bergers, RP brass and Rem 7 1/2 BR primers. The best group was clearly at 24.9gr (.368), though 24.7 and 25.1 were also up there. I was going to do the postal shoot with 25.1 of RL10X and 39gr Sierra...

Great photo, rifle and report...thanks. Where are you located??

Better yet, spend $11.20 at Sinclair and buy a Satern Aluminum Powder Funnel. They're caliber specific and top quality......

Trevort: many thanks for the great photos and the stories behind them.....
