    3 Idiot West Coast Governors working together on Chinese Virus are better than one.... NOT

    Pretty much. Been carrying on while respecting others paranoia as much as possible.

    Rifle Scopes Advice on my final scope picks....

    In prs type shooting I can count on one hand where I have used over 20 power. Mag is vastly overrated and people should just stop this silly trend toward high mag scopes for prs. Just one guys opinion though.

    Wa state here. This whole thing is a complete shit show.

    Rifle Scopes Advice on my final scope picks....

    As some have stated you are close to a used razor. I personally am not a huge fan of that scope, but they are a very good option and cont be best for the money on the used market. I personally suggest saving another ~$600 and springing for a used kahles 624i. I suggest trying to get behind a few...

    Rifle Scopes Mil-xt or tremor 3?

    All I can say is preference. Do you like blond or brunette. No correct answer.

    Rifle Scopes Scope ring question from a newbie

    Go with a 20 moa base for sure. You won’t regret that now or later. As for rings, I prefer between 1.1-1.25” tall rings. Helps get my head where I need it and no worry about barrel profile.

    If I could only choose from that list, it would be the nx8 without question.

    737R vs. Ruckus

    I suppose you are referring to a right hand configuration. I’m a lefty and impact charges a lefty tax (additional $50). Sure you can get an impact aw cut but you have to wait even longer, where as the defiance it comes standard. Both very good options, but I just don’t see the extra money in an...

    737R vs. Ruckus

    Both are awesome actions. To me I couldn’t see spending an additional $200-250 for an action with the same features. Also, the defiance comes aw cut. To me that is a must have feature.

    Sheep gun weight/build

    Appreciate all the insight. My shooting ability is not what I’m most concerned with. I shoot a lot and am confident in my skill set as a rifleman. The big thing in question is how much rifle can I carry. It seems like most thing 8-9 lb rifle is ideal. It makes sense.

    Sheep gun weight/build

    I hear what you are saying. Two things, I’m left handed so limited options there. Two, I ca damn bear build a custom gun for 1600. I don’t intend on buying another scope regardless. I don’t have much trust in a $600 optic from any manufacturer.

    Sheep gun weight/build

    The only item I could really sell is the barrel. The stock is pretty unique, and I could prefer to use it anyhow. I guess that would still buy me -12 oz. as far as a light weight scope, I don’t intend on selling my high end tactical scopes. But your point stands, I could try and move some funds...

    Sheep gun weight/build

    It’s not really a matter of not wanting to “do it right” it’s just want equipment I have on hand ca spending thousands on different equipment. I would like to use what I have if possible. Saving money is always a good thing.

    Sheep gun weight/build

    Benchmark makes damn fine barrels. They are all I run. I have had about 10 at this point at least. I build pretty much all my rifles from the ground up. I Have Buffalo Creek Precision do all my smith work (Bellingham based smith). He builds complete lasers! If you shoot competition, I’m sure we...

    Sheep gun weight/build

    Yes I hope to make the cut. At this point in obviously not counting my eggs before they hatch. But I think we have a good shot at making the cut. So you don’t think a 12-13 lb gun would be terrible for this terrain?

    Sheep gun weight/build

    You guys are making me consider another build. Shit this game is expensive.
  17. NorthWesterner

    Sheep gun weight/build

    Makes sense. I will be using this scope regardless. I can’t justify buying another optic just for this hunt. I guess I could build a completely different rifle, but I was hoping to make this one work. I suppose I should reconsider.

    Sheep gun weight/build

    That’s 12.5 lbs with my kahles 624i on top and an empty mag.

    Sheep gun weight/build

    Rifle isn’t built, and the fluited blank have is just that. But by my calcs it will be 12.5 lbs.

    Sheep gun weight/build

    I will save about 10 oz by going proof. That’s a lot of money for 10 oz. the stock I already own, I don’t intend on changing that. $800 is a lot to pay for 10 oz. that’s almost $100/oz.
