    Are varmint rifles, expendable?

    Agreed, I've always said longer strings of fire without cooling is much harder exponentially on a barrel than round count. To the OP, an argument can equally be made on both sides of the discussion, but I will ALWAYS have .223 laying around.

    6.5 Creedmoor 101

    This^^^, and I love 4831SC for the heavies. I use the fuck out of IMR4350 because it works for me as well as H4350 and is plentiful.

    KRG X Ray vs XLR Element?

    Stop worrying about how it looks. My best shooting (fitting) rifle is so fucking ugly I probably couldn't give it away, but it will send them in the same hole. It's all in the feel, whatever fits you the best you are liable to shoot better. I'm in the same position as you, in the middle of...

    7x64

    I have a Brenneke, was passed down to me. I fucked with it some, great shooting rifle but too expensive to load for, IF and when I could find brass. It sits in the safe now. I'll take it to Africa if I ever get to go, well, just because that's where it looks like it belongs. I'm assuming you...

    Rifle Scopes The Right Reticle For Me

    The only person that can answer that is you. Some people like grid styles, some don't. Each opinion you get is going to be just that, what that person prefers. Both are equally effective. Get behind others glass to see what you like before you drop your own dough.

    Rifle Scopes Your choice of Scopes and $800?

    LASIK - Long-term updates?

    I couldn't see past 10 fucking feet without glasses, and even with them (glasses and contacts) it was never great, although I did not know it at the time. However, in 2002 when rumors of deployment starting circulating again in my unit I decided it was time. Mother of god why did I wait so...

    Rifle For Elk

    Build confidence in what you already have. If you don't feel confident in longer shots, don't take them. I use an 8mm-06 but would not hesitate to grab my 30-06.

    Bought a Savage for a build... Second guessing myself.

    The savage platform is perfect to start tinkering with. Spend a day reading the threads on the savage shooters forum. A criterion barrel on a savage action will outshoot most on this forum. Most people that have extractor issues are trying to launch their bullets at the speed of light. I...

    Bolt Action Rifle, Where to Begin?

    Same here, some will try and dispute the mechanics of the barrel nut, my targets prove otherwise. They use locking nuts on the fucking International Space Station.

    Bolt Action Rifle, Where to Begin?

    If you can build an AR, then you can build your own bolt rifle that will outshoot you. Just get a set of go/no go gauges and read up on how to use them.

    What chambering would you go with?

    Get the book "Pet Loads" by Ken Waters, it'll be right up your alley. Especially if you want to keep it a 25 cal.

    Budget .223 bolt rig for youths? (PRS)

    Remember, this is for a kid. It's very easy to keep up'ing your budget. I would love for my 2 boys to have the best shooting shit available. But from someone that's been through this before, kids change, they grow, they change their interest, again...they get bigger. I use shooting and my rifles...
