    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    Sounds like a great time. I loved chukar hunting. Haven't gone since my buddy moved away that had dogs. I do enjoy thunder chicken hunting though

    Looks beautiful, limiting out that fast sounds like it was fun. I've only ever gotten the chance to bird hunt once for chukar it was a blast.

    My bad guys the 7000 is liters per hr. I messaged my old chief and confirmed. I get it mixed up, going between US imperial and foreign built metric equipped boats will do that. This ancient thing im on now with the two d399 cats is roughly 1800 gallons a day cruising at about 9 knots which is...

    300 win mag for $1500?

    Xbolt is a good option I have a 2018 limited run in 6.5x55 sweede it's a laser beam. If you want an extremely light weight hunting rifle look at the Kimber mountain ascent they weight 4lb 13oz, I have one in 280 Ackley improved. Almost a ballistic twin of 7rem mag but in a standard long action...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a cheap scope

    As much as Leupold is hated here, maybe look into used a vx-2 6-18 with target turrets or maybe a vx-3 6.5x20 efr. If you keep a close eye out sometimes you can find a used one with target turrets for for 2-300 for the vx2 or 4-500 for the vx3. Leupold can install whatever reticle you want for...

    6BRA dies

    Much cheaper than the sac dies. Looked at the set from them until I saw the $400 price tag for the pair. I'm not sure how much better they could be for the price difference. Not sure if you're in need of a seater as well but I'm using a Wilson non micro adjust for 6 Dasher with the vld stem...

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    It's one of the 2 main engines on the boat I'm currently working on, I'm a civilian contract sailor for the navy. It's a cat D399. It looks huge but the d399's are pretty weak sauce. Only 1100hp each still dead nuts reliable and easy to work on. My absolute favorite engines to have on a boat are...

    First dedicated long range rifle build

    After piles of research and going over what my real world expectations/usage are for my first long range rifle. This is what I finally pieced together. No pictures as of yet because I'm at work on a ship but hopefully as soon as I get home all the pieces will be waiting for me to assemble...

    Long time reader new member from Pennsylvania

    Thank you, it'll be slow going as far as getting the rifle together and actually getting to the range. I'm a merchant mariner on a navy training boat. Work for 2ish months then home for 2ish months. Lots of time for reading and studying the info on the hide while on the boat. I'm due home at the...
