    Night Vision PVS-27/26 Max magnification experience?

    My experience with the PVS27 for the last 4 to 5 years has been excellent. My primary use of the 27 is for exterminating pesky hogs and occasionally corn bandit from 490 to 700 yrds with and without IR illumination. The only negative of 27 is the weight, add that to a heavy rifle and it can be a...

    Hunting & Fishing Hog Kill with Model 70 pre 64/ 47 year old ammo

    I purchased 9 boxes of this vintage LC ammo at least over 15 years ago. I have four boxes left to date unshot, with the fired brass i plan on reloading them and try to duplicate the LC load. However, i may have trouble finding 173 gr FMJ boattail bullets. This vintage LC ammo shots 1/2 moa in...

    Hunting & Fishing Hog Double Kill W/ One Bullet

    Thanks gents, i didn't quite expect this to happen like it did, because two weeks ago i had two coyotes eating on a dead pig at 600 yrds that were side by side and i screwed up the shot. After i missed, i started second guessing what went wrong. It was me, nut behind trigger of course, i had...

    Hunting & Fishing Hog Double Kill W/ One Bullet

    I was hog hunting this weekend from a particular tower blind that is 670 yrds from the deer feeder. I also placed a pile of corn 30 yrds farther from the feeder. At around 0900 four hogs came to the 700 yrd corn pile. After they settled down eating, the black sow was perfectly broad side with...

    Hunting & Fishing Hog Kill with Model 70 pre 64/ 47 year old ammo

    Answer your question about the barrel. The barrel is a Douglas 24" Chrome Moly Steel barrel in Medium Heavy Contour with flat crown. The rifle originally was chambered as a 270. The guy who i purchased it from had it quite some time. The barrel was either shot out or damaged due to improper...

    Hunting & Fishing Hog Kill with Model 70 pre 64/ 47 year old ammo

    Thanks powdahound, the Model 70 is very accurate with this vintage 1967 LC ammo, but the crosshairs are very thin on the Unertl. And with my old ass eyes (68) crosshairs are a little on fuzzy side, but had enough light to make the shot.

    Missing 777

    I haven't heard any of the TALKING HEADS mention if the Malaysian Military had scrambled a couple of fighter jets when FLT 370 transponder had been turned off and FLT 370 made that initial left turn from it's routing. A couple of fighter jets could have at least confirmed what type of A/C it...
