Thax KVW and Hawkeye! (Good Job BTW)

Hey Hawkeye...what kinda rifle you talking about??? A Savage?

If you don't mind me asking, what do you torque your action bolts too? I've been following my method and wouldn't mind doing it right for once! :lol: What I do is run the front bolt as tight as I trust it and run the rear about 1/2-1 turn past snug. Snug being tight with one finger. It's worked thus...

VERY nice buck! Congrats to you guys! It's awesome to see the young ones that happy!

GL this year!

Benchrest shooters sometimes shoot for groups but they also shoot for score. I was thinking of a way to combine the best of both. Maybe one shot at each of ten separate bullseyes and incorporate a group score in on top of that. We'll have to see what I can come up with. But, of course, you can bet ...

Agreed! GREAT job to all those who participated! I had alot of fun with this and hope to take part in another sometime soon.

Thanx again Skipper for a great shoot and thanx for your time! Ya did an AWESOME job with everything. A+++

This is just a suggestion and it's not to take away from the winners but would it be a bad idea to consider an icon for all those who participated?

No excuses here. Just didn't do the rifle justice. The funny part is after shooing the target I tried some new loads and found a new load that put 5 shots in one hole. How many of you think target panic has a role in shooting the target? +1! Didn't do my rifle ANY justice AT ALL! I think me shootin...

Would you split up the 40's ?

To answer your question about the barrel, there was a spot about 11 inches from the muzzle where the surface tension of a cleaning patch would suddenly/momentarily let go and then resume until it emerged. Don't have a bore scope, but you could see with the naked eye that something was not right. So...

Welcome to the forum! Bunch of great guys here. Where do ya go in Central PA. ? I am from SE. PA. Those VLP's are great shooting rifles. I have one in .204 . Hope Savage make's it right for you. Out of curiosity, what exactly was wrong with the barrel? One more thing to add...if you can find someone...

Target was mailed back yesterday!

Great job! I really like my 17 hmr I wish I had gotten the wooden stock like yours it sure is a good looking rifle. I wondered if they would take a coyote or not I guess you answered that question. A double Wow! You can get a TH stock to replace your existing stock (if it's a Savage of course ;) )....

Congrats!

Did I say that enough times??? :loco: What was the name of that show where the guy said "Do you hear the words that are coming out of my mouth"? Was that The Master of Disguise? Wasn't it the movie "Rush Hour"? Or was there an actual show that I am just to young to know existed?...

Congrats on the successful hunt!

Elk hunting is a dream I personally plan on accomplishing someday!
