    Rifle Scopes Nikon M-223 2-8X32 Range Report

    Download the Nikon Spot On App. To your smart phone. Select the load your are using and let the app spit out new subtensions for the BDC and click values. Print out the info and use as a range card. I works fairly well.

    What did you use to paint your rifle?

    That my friend is the finest hand painted sage that I have ever seen on a rifle. Great work. Bob Ross is smiling down I am sure.

    Can Anyone Recommend A Good Distance Measuring App?

    Yes, my apologies. It is an Iphone app. I was not aware that it was not availiable on android. Look at Gaia gps. It is very similar.

    Can Anyone Recommend A Good Distance Measuring App?

    Motionx. Heavily used by members of my USAR team. Has a great measuring tool and you can pre download Topo maps to overlay your GPS coordinants to alliw for offline use. We toss our Garmin team issued GPS units aside when in country and just run phones when possible.

    Recommendations for a cheek pad?

    Triad. But I really dislike the only one that I purchased with the internal loops. By design, it is to left open for access when shooting. That means the zipper pull is reversed and when the pocket is closed, the zipper and pull are up on top and just ahead of my right eye. I wanted internal...

    My new 223 and slightly overcooked prime rib

    This Christmas day, I cooked the prime rib of my life. Perfectly seasoned and marbled. It was the culmination of my years of culinary perserverance. My pinnacle. And when I served it to my wife, just waiting for the heaping of praise, she asked if I would fry hers in a skillet, "just a little...

    Alternatives to Butler Creek Caps........

    I just looked at the Aadlands price. Then I coughed up my coffee and aggrivated my herniated disc. This is not good.

    Help me with a softshell jacket/system. I read about too many and need help from the Hide

    I am a Mountain Hardware whore myself, with quite a few house payments worth of system components. But If I were looking primarily at new Soft shell systems today, it would be the stuff from Arc'teryx. IMHO it is the best out there. Mountain Hardware seemed to me to have the best 6'1" 205 lb guy...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns glock or smith?

    Glock for sure. As far as .40 vs .357 for Grizzly defense? I wouldn't bet my life on either of those rounds. At least with the Glock you can be mauled knowing you gave it about 10 additional "college tries"...

    Looking for a small backpack

    +1 on the military camelback hawg. I have a well built Drago pack (maxpedition style knockoff) that is nice for EDC. I carry it while hunting and appreciate how narrow it sits on your back.

    Hunting & Fishing Upset with silvertips performance.

    I can attest to the effectiveness of the silvertip in 30.06. I harvested a small whitetail on the last day of the season a few years ago at about 10 yards. I was unable to recover the bullet though, or the off side shoulder. I can only assume it expanded.

    Tell me about Remington 700 action

    Mboost After reading through all of the replies, I went back and looked at your original post. Is a stock 700 action any better than a stock Savage action? Who knows. It seems that Is at the seat of this debate. But in your original post you said you have built several savages and were getting...
