Stayed up late last night lapping and aligning rings... Here is the result, looks really good and I should be able to get to the range today. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c110/tbarringhaus/Coopercomplete5-28-2008001.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c110/tbarringhaus/Coopercomplete5-28-2008...

Great advice and input from all. The first of my equipment will start arriving tomorrow and I have to go through this thread and get te remaining items that I am missing. A few items are onback order (1500 chargemaster) which should be coming in early June. I figure by the second week of June I will...

I have been contemplting reloading in the past few months and I am finally ready to take the challenge and ge started aquiring my equipment and doing some reading in some of the various loading manuals. I plan to start ordering some of my reloading equipment today and I am getting my list together a...

Awesome! I've got a cooper on order myself. A Varmint Extreme in .204 Ruger. I'm putting a Zeiss conquest 6.5-20 x 50 with rapid z varmint reticle on it. I ordered the rifle back in mid April, but was told it could be up to 6 months to get it (the wait is hard). How long did it take for yours to ar...

Picked up my Cooper Model 38 Jackson Varminter in .17 Fireball yesterday. When I finally make that PD trip (now next year due to my recent health spat) this gun will be in the three gun arsenal which will consist of a 5.56, .204 and the .17 Fireball. Cooper Firearms of Montana - Model 38 Jackson Var...

One thing that I liked about the Les Baer Super Varmit in .204 was that it has a 1:10 twist. Seems 1:12 can be a little sensative to bullet weighing 40 grains or more. 39-40 seems to be the threshold. Not a golden rule, as some rifles do just fine, well, many do. But that seems to be the consensus ...

Here's a pic of me in the woods with my new Les Baer Super Varmit AR-15 chambered in .204. So far this rifle will flat out shoot!! Had a blast in the field today plinking at rocks at 150-175 yards and nailing them was childs play! Very fun rifle and worth every penny. http://inlinethumb09.webshots....

Well I did not make it out on Sunday but I did make it on Monday out to my property which is only good for 100 yard range. I generally like to zero my .204's at 200 yards but no big deal, a slight twaek will fix it later. Anyway after I got her on paper I let her cool down, gave her a quick cleaning...

Hey Big_Bullseye, Thanks for the props. You got a pretty nice looking AR there! The level is called an Anti Cant Device, the following are some places where you can pic one up. http://www.sinclairintl.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=SCACSASL&type=store http://www.midwayusa.com/ebrowse.exe/bro...

Sold - I just won the Auction on Gunbroker and I will be the proud new owner of a Cooper Jackson Varmint in 17 Fireball. I got it for about $200 less than what Whittaker Guns in Owensboro, KY quoted me on the same gun. Add in the $25 for freight and $25 transfer fee and I am still in good shape. I g...

Not too shabby for a relativly inexpensive out of the box gun. Its just a Sako with plain clothes on....

Like I said I love my Tikka (OK my 15 y/o son says it's his), anyway he took his first buck last year with it and we like it.

Enjoy it, always fun to get a new one...

heikki02003 Nice Savage - Q - Where did you get the bolt on scope level? I can see where that would help me. Thanks. Oh - here is my new 204. John Noveske Custom AR in .204 SS 24" 1:10 barrel, two stage RRA trigger. Leupold VXL 6.5X20X56. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c110/tbarringhaus/Nove...

Nice. Those Tikkas are nice guns and you get alot for the money, actions are slick as glass too. I have a T3 Lite in 25-06 and love it.
