Improved shooting benches

Here are a couple pics of my new and improved shooting benches. The legs are now removeable (just had to happen for transportablity) AND adjustable. I thought the adjustiblity was essential to quickly plumb the stand pipe, to ensure your shooting platform was not canted, no matter where the bench wa...

Re: Opinion on IMR powder.

I have good luck with Varget and 75gr. Vmax bullets. A little overkill on prairie dogs but so is most everything else we use. As mentioned earlier, I too like the "extreme" powders. I willl likely be shoot dawgs in somewhat hotter conditions that my usual shooting conditions and don't need...

Re: Shooting Advice and Technique

Have you checked the roof of the ute? I have a friend who tells a story of missing a 50 or so yard easy shot at a prairie dog from the hood of his truck. He could not understand how he missed. He racked another round of 22-250 and about ready to take another shot, when a young kid who was with the ...

Re: I'm worried: 32 gr VMax

I have a Remington that just won't give me a group under 1.5" with the 32gr. Vmax bullets either. I have been toying with bedding or selling it, rebarreling was also considered. I tried 5 powders, 3 primers and 3 cases and a wide rande of powder charges and OAL and have finally given-up on forc...

Re: FOR SALE: 500 ct. Sierra .224 50gr. BlitzKing Moly bullets

No good trade offers so far, now open to cash sale if anyone is interested ($95 shipped). Would maybe trade for an old brick of Peters or Rem. 22 shells, it's something I don't have, or Hornady bullets in the first post.

FOR SALE: 500 ct. Sierra .224 50gr. BlitzKing Moly bullets

OK, now for sale (or trade) $95 to your door (cont. US), this should be about $25 less than Midsouth pricing($113 & change + shipping). I would also trade for Hornady Vmax bullets , NOT moly coated. I would like 6mm(.243) 58gr. or .257 75 gr . preferably. I will consider .224 50 gr. or .204 32 g...

Re: Home-made prairie dawg shooting table

Well the Walmart boat seat seemed to have "firmer" foam than the pricier ones in Scheels. It has a weight limit of 200# so I would be a little hesitant to put much pressure on the seatback anyway. I saw a "cresant" shaped seat in Scheels, but it looked like you would be inclined ...

I tweeked a couple little things here and there, but really just what majcl5 has shown in his posts. The first one took me ...

Re: 17 HMR Savage w/accu-trigger

Picked-up the Savage last night and mounted a 6-18X Nikon on it using a set of Weaver high rings....Looks great. The rifle was just as advertised. Thanks Mark. I can't wait to get her sighted-in and put it to work.

About what date is that? What varmint is on the cover? I have a few around, not a member, just grab them in the gun shop.

Re: shooting bench

I just finshed building a rotating shooting bench, heavy, but looks like it will be great. I usually just set-up close to the truck anyway(prairie dawgs). I am going to build a boogie bench or whatever you want to call it to carry out when the shooting slows down. I figure I will use a 5-6 gallon bu...
