    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    I’m not entirely sure how much he weighs. Probably every bit of 7’ and 400-450 when he’s fall fat. The interior bears don’t usually get as large as your PNW coastal bears do. He’s a toad of a bear being from the interior. I’ll bet he’s pretty hard on moose calves. That griz was from early May...

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    Oh, I’ve had a reticle on him quite a few times. Watched him for over an hour through the scope last fall during moose season. If he hadn’t been into those rotten chum all last summer and fall his quarter would’ve run out long ago. Keeping an eye out this spring but so far no sign. I’ll let you...

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    Was out looking for where he’s moving this spring. So far no luck. Set up and did some calling just in case he’s in the area. You can see where the bears have been digging out the bank swallow nets.

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    Saw this big black bear on and off last summer but he was eating a lot of half rotten salmon so I gave him a pass. Here’s his tracks last fall during freezeup just upriver from my house.

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    I’m jealous of some of you that are getting to shoot without ice and snow. I’m ready for things to change, but it’s been taking its sweet time. It’s starting to show a little more on the river.

    What would you put on a lightweight long range hunting rifle build?

    A little hard to see it, but this is one of mine. I like the fact it’s not too “Huble’ish” and is still robust. Not really light, but certainly not in the heavyweight category.

    What would you put on a lightweight long range hunting rifle build?

    Search around and see if you can find a used NXS 2.5-10x32. I have a couple of them on my hunting rifles and really like them.

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    Figure I’ll pitch in a little. Hauling water today. Ice is still about 50” thick but the snow on the river is getting pretty thin. Still about 30” in the woods.

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    I've got a M70 SS classic sitting in a Game Warden with the adjustable cheek. If I didn't have the adj. cheek, I'd need a periscope or a pile of closed cell foam under my stock pack for a proper sight pic with a NXS 3.5-15x50 and 20 moa rail. It would do better with an optic with a smaller...

    Chassis for Winchester M70?

    Thanks for the insight. If that's the case then I can certainly see the challenges in producing a chassis that would work reliably without at least being skim bedded. I made the call and ordered another McM for it as I could get one of the ready for inlet in 4-6 weeks instead of six months and...

    Chassis for Winchester M70?

    Yeah, looks like a long wait for me. Both Manners and McM are 6 months out. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Rifle Scopes Who here has sent a Leupold scope back for warranty issues lately?

    I've sent four back for various failures. Not recently though. Service was always promt, but I don't recall them ever picking up shipping for the optic going to them. Got tired of not trusting optics so the only leupy I have anymore sits on a .22. Good luck. check that reticle for plumb when you...

    Chassis for Winchester M70?

    Thanks 308G, I'll give them another look. I didn't see anything for a LA in their offerings. I used to have a rifle in an AICS and I know I've read about people milling them out to fit a M70 action. Is this option really practical or is it pretty much a lashup that weakens the chassis...

    Chassis for Winchester M70?

    I'm looking to dump my McM HTG and restock my LA M70 SS classic . I've been searching the web and have see that MDT claims to have a chassis for it. However, I haven't been able to find anything for a M70 at all on their site. Is anyone making a chassis for a LA M70 anymore? Or am I stuck with a...

    Rifle Scopes Talk me out of a used Nightforce NXS

    Another +1 on the zero stop and pick through the reticles to get one that suits your needs. I bought my first NXS about ten years ago and currently have 3. Its amazing how even with the dismal fov I've somehow managed to keep filling my freezers with them year after year. I don't know exactly...
