I just noticed that Midway has the BR Pivot listed on its web site. As previously discussed, there are two models: wood top and plastic top. There is no mention of a lightweight version, so I assume that these two models are based off of Rick's standard BR Pivot. If so, I must admit that I'm a bit d...

I want to buy a new scope for Pds which one? They're both excellent scopes, so you won't make a poor choice either way. IMHO, the Nightforce (BR or NSX) is better than the Leupold VX-III. I don't think many people would argue that statement. The real question is whether the NF is several hundred do...

Nice find, Ryan. Thanks for sharing the pic.

I’ve got a distant relative in Wyoming who says to come any time I want. But he doesn’t shoot dogs, so he’s not sure when is the best time to go there. Can anyone from up that way advise on when to go there? Dan, I went to Wyoming last year in mid-June and had a fantastic time....

Disclaimer: I would never knowingly advocate something that would help sneak a new gun into the house without the wife's prior approval. Now, with that out of the way... As the weather improves, it's time to take a little trip to the range. You should probably bring along several guns so that you ca...

another 200 miles west.......... So I should be focusing my efforts around the state line (perhaps Johnson City area). In your experience, are places to hunt hard to come by? When I went to Wyoming, I didn't have much trouble finding places. I wonder if it's the same in Kansas? Thanks for your help...

Are there any prairie dog towns around Pratt, KS? That area would be convenient for me to get to, but I haven't found much about dog downs out there. Thanks!

Nice looking rifle, Ray!

Thanks, Hotshot! I appreciate that info. I have been looking around Gregory, SD, which isn't too far from Valentine. Seems like that area has some good prairie dog populations. In a totally unrelated topic, I'm making a trip up to Missoula late this summer for vacation. I'd like to see Northwestern ...

I'm starting to put together a prairie dog hunt for 2008. Last year I had a phenomenal time in Wyoming and will definitely go back. However, I'd like to find some other places that are a bit closer to home (Southwest Missouri) that I could visit more than once a year. I'm not looking for anyone to g...

Rugerdog, just trying to protect my own hunting areas, I have been hunting in that area for years, and until last year when someone posted online about it being a good area, I almost would never see anyone else all day long ! Last year we actually had people following us and had shots fired in our ...

That walnut has some beautiful figure to it! Very well done.

Absolutely! In the unlikely event that you get a dud from Ruger, I wouldn't worry for a second that the company wouldn't take care of you. Ruger's customer service is among the best that I've ever seen.

Mike: I see they have a real el cheapo bench available now, a spindly version of mine, in the "entry-level" price range. Someone here posted that they saw a replica of mine on Guns & Ammo TV that was listed at $600 or thereabouts. I'll check with them today and see if they have any ne...

Mike: Funny you should mention the lack of top on the RCBS unit; many shooters contacted me about my bench just before I sold the patent, and all of them commented that the lack of a 'real' bench top was the deal-breaker for them too. It appears RCBS should reconsider an alternate top portion for t...
