    Rifle Scopes Leupold Price

    I am in the market for a Leupold 6X18 scope. Anyone know any where that this scope is being discounted?? All the net prices are the same. I am sure there is a place to pick one up. But where is that?? Should I wait for a Midway Discount code?? I noticed a sponsor here had a sale of 10% off...

    lead casting/ loading info need.

    Re: lead casting/ loading info need. Unless you scrounge your own lead the cheapest place you are going to find alloys is on E-Bay or on the Cast Boolit forum. IMO the most important piece of casting equipment is a good sizer-luber, like the Lyman. Alloy is important, but I think the most...

    Rifle Scopes Optics made in Japan

    Re: Optics made in Japan The Japanese people are pretty smart, as well as being very resilient. There is a lot of damage in certain areas. But I believe the biggest problem is their power problems. And I believe they will get that under control pretty fast. Some dealers should chime in...

    Hunting & Fishing Any T/C users?

    Re: Any T/C users? I have several Encore and Contender frames, and many barels. As well as several custom stocks, all TH style. I really like the idea of the TC single shot system. It is simple, and it works great. And accuracy is more than good enough for me. I am a hunter, not a paper...

    .44 Mag reloading help!!!

    Re: .44 Mag reloading help!!! You need to measure everything, then find your problem. For some it is not considered a big problem. But if you don't like the bulge then figure out a way to get rid of it. First thing is measure you rifle. Did you slug the rifle?? Second did you mic. the...

    .44 mag hunting bullet choice

    Re: .44 mag hunting bullet choice I have killed hundreds of critters. Up to deer in size. But a bunch of smaller critters like ground hogs with a 240 grain bullet(no GC) that I cast. I normally cast from straight WW alloy. And keep the velocities around 1700 fps from a rifle, and less from...

    Critique my idea for a lightweight coyote rifle

    Re: Critique my idea for a lightweight coyote rifle IMO it would depend on whether you do or do not sell the pelts. If 300 yards is your max range and you sell the pelts then I would probably go with a 17 caliber cartrdige. For instance the 17 FireBall. The 223 AI is a little heavier than...

    Mountain Lion Photos

    I was looking at a thread here the other day where a guy posted a picture that had 8 mountain lions in the photo. I am trying to find that thread again, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know what happened to the thread?? Thanks, Tom.

    Hunting & Fishing Woodchuck / Groundhog hunting in the Northeast

    Re: Woodchuck / Groundhog hunting in the Northeast I ground hog hunt in MD, OH, PA, WV, KY,and anywhere else I can find a good field to shoot. A good way to find a good place to hunt is to contact the local DNR oficers. And the farm bureau. Call those guys and ask them for farmers that...

    Recommendations for a job in the industry

    Re: Recommendations for a job in the industry The sporting goods industry is actually a small tight knit grup. There are good jobs in the industry. But there are also a lot of not so good jobs in the industry. Do you want to stay in your field?? The reason why I ask is because the big...

    Think it's time for a "new to me" pickup truck

    Re: Think it's time for a "new to me" pickup truck We can argue about economics. Domestic versus foreign investment and manufacture. And we can even argue about the unions. That is what makes this America. All I would like to see is a good solid American company stand up and say they are...

    Think it's time for a "new to me" pickup truck

    Re: Think it's time for a "new to me" pickup truck Diesel trucks are great. No doubt. But the bottom line with a diesel truck is that the vast majority of drivers will never get the value out of a diesel. You have to drive well over 25,000 miles a year and drive one for over 200,000 miles...

    Hunting & Fishing Bought my perfect big game scope

    Re: Bought my perfect big game scope I think you made a fine choice. My favorite deer scope is a 3X10 Swarovski AV. Pretty much the same scope I believe. But I am not 100% familiar with the new Swaro. model #'s. Tom.

    Any long ranges in WV

    Re: Any long ranges in WV We have a beautiful 1,000 yard range. With lots of good competitive shoots, and shooters. However it is in Fairmont. Which is probably a bit too far for you to drive. If you ever want to come up to one of the Saturday competitions, PM me. I will give you a web...

    Older Remington700 PSS value

    Re: Older Remington700 PSS value I have a 700PSS in 300 Winchester. If you offered me $500 I would laugh at you. One of the best shooting factory out of the box rifles I have ever seen. And guns are going up in price, not down. $600 or $700 on the rifle if mint and shot very little would...

    Cast Lead Loading

    Re: Cast Lead Loading IMO you want to pick a cartridge where the standard velocities match the best velocities for cast bullets. The 35 caliber is a good beginning point. Not that smaller calibers will not shoot cast bullets well, they will. But it is harder to get an accurate load for the...

    Shot show pass

    Re: Shot show pass They have been complaining about people who are not in the business for the last 25 years or more. But it obviously does not mean that much to them. It is as simple as heck to get in if you really want too. A couple of drinks has gotten me in a couple of times when I...

    Shot show pass

    Re: Shot show pass If you can't find one. Then just go to the bar the night before and buy a few drinks for one of the sales reps. One of them will get you in. Tons of factory reps there in the bars. Tom.
