Here's a few more pics from the last episode of the Eastern Oregon Raptor Feeding Society Rat-O-Rama.





The last pic show a sage rat that popped up 5 feet in front of my bench while I was cleaning my rifle. How did he know?!!? Captqc

That's a great lookin' raptor support system.

Hey Hotshot, I see you are from Missoula, do go go over and hang out with the HSM boys? I've got a box of their stuff in the first pic. Shoots just fine in my new Remmy. Life is good Gary

Hunting Shack is just down the road about 25 miles. I've known Steve and Bill since they started in East Missoula over 30 years ago. Good guys and hard workers. They kick us local guys some deals on components if we buy a little quantity and use what they use. Doing business with Hunting Shack is dealing with the best. They're just down the road from Cooper Arms and the 2 companies share a lot of their testing info. Almost everything they load in 223 and 204 uses Benchmark powder for the last couple years by the way.

Hotshot: Living close to HSM must be about as expensive as living here down the road from Nosler! Many times I have to remind myself that I can't just go browsing in their Pro-Shop if I have a trip planned, or there's no money for gas for the truck!

For fun, here's a look at the environment taken from Captqc's bench looking back at my sniping position. Good thing Skippy's heads were all down, or I would have had singed hair, as Captqc's rig was right behind me! You can see Skippy's condo's spread all throughout this field.



Two more weeks and we're at it again! Now back to the loading bench....there's another 100 Winchester 204 cases needing attention....
