    Fieldcraft Rifle Painting Tutorial

    Re: Rifle Painting Tutorial Thanks punkpigpen. I see plenty of room for improvement on this one. I'll save some money back and get my airbrush replaced and get some more Duracoat and see if I can do better next time. I want this down perfect before I do my brothers rifle for him. the Krylon...

    Fieldcraft Rifle Painting Tutorial

    Re: Rifle Painting Tutorial My attempt at snake skin. Still crude, but it's only Krylon on this one, easy to remove and try again. Going to try a more random pattern next time.

    Soda Can At 250 Yards

    Re: Soda Can At 250 Yards Haven't tried the can yet, but did do some egg shooting at a 100yds with the pistol recently using a 2.5X pistol scope. It took one sighter to get my elevation. Certainly no match for a well built rifle with high power scope, but an egg is much smaller than a soda...

    Member Link Up HELLO FROM VIRGINIA

    Re: HELLO FROM VIRGINIA If you hunt, you'll like the fact that you can hunt with an AR here as long as the caliber is adequate for the game you're after. Night hunting of predators with artificial light is allowed. The Rivanna gun club in Charlottesville has a 300yd range as well as CMP...

    Soda Can At 250 Yards

    Re: Soda Can At 250 Yards I was 100% at 100yds with my T/C 10" pistol with 2.5x scope at 100yds this weekend on some skunked beer in cans I had laying around. My guess was my drop was around 3"-4" out of the short barreled pistol with Federal Bulk ammo. Gearing up to do a Rimfire Groundhog...

    Remington SPS metal finish

    Re: Remington SPS metal finish Mine rusted the first week of ownership. It also seemed to hold a lot of heat. I had it Duracoated Coyote Brown to see if it would help prevent drawing heat in the sun. It didn't help. The SPS coating seems to me like it is more like a paint than parkerizing or...

    Remington SPS metal finish

    Re: Remington SPS metal finish Mine was very prone to rust regardless of how much I cleaned it. Got a Duracoat job and no more rust, Looking to get it Cerakoted after it gets rebarreled this summer, then no more troubles ever.

    Ground Hog Load...

    Re: Ground Hog Load... I'm doing 50gr. V-max with 26gr. of BL-C(2) and CCI small rifle magnums in my 24" AR. Pretty nasty on chucks. It's what I'll be running most of the summer.

    Beer?

    Re: Beer? I'm in great shape, round is still a shape, right? Beer helps me stay in all those 9"-13" bipods when prone, if I lose my gut then I'll have to go and get all new 6"-9" bipods. Think of all the money I'm saving.

    New Ruger MKII holster

    Re: New Ruger MKII holster Mike, that is a Bushnell 2x I believe. A buddy of mine was impressed by my rifle setup, so he gave me the scope for mounting 4 of his scopes on his rifles and level them and rough them in at 100yds for him. I couldn't pass it up at that price . It does pretty well...

    New Ruger MKII holster

    Re: New Ruger MKII holster I'd say it would be real tight. If you had a way to remove the ribs on either side of the barrel channel you'd probably gain about 1/16" or so. I measured the spread with my calipers and it was exactly 1" inside between the raised ribs.

    Tips from pros!!!

    Re: Tips from pros!!! I hunted on a management hunt inside a high fence operation for several years in a row. I had 160"+ bucks laying under my stand and wasn't allowed to shoot them. After sitting there and watching them for hours on end waiting for a doe to shoot, I built a tolerance to...

    New Ruger MKII holster

    Re: New Ruger MKII holster Probably won't unless it is less than 1" diameter. HEre is the view looking toward the muzzle with my Slabside in it. It is exactly 1' inside, VQ comps probably won't fit it either.

    New Ruger MKII holster

    Recently a buddy of mine told me about Black Dog Machine holsters for the MKII ruger. I checked out their website and decided to try one as I have yet to find a scoped holster for my Slabside that I like. Well the search is over. I did a little Dremel and file work to mine for the long pistol...
