    Elk Hunting Rifles, What are you Using?

    so i decided i'm taking the 7PRC - tikka action from 7rm, 24" carbon6 barrel, pure precision altitude stock, nightforce nx8 2.5-20. the factory hornady eldx shoot pretty good, but i'm trying the federal terminal ascent 170s.

    Shipping an action????

    i guess the question is, did you declare what you were shipping (specifically, not just "parts"), and will they cover you in the event of a loss?

    if you get a shipping label from the FFL, is that a workaround to shipping via fedex or ups?

    Gunsmithing WARNING DON'T TRUST CARBON SIX

    the key is not making promises (delivery time) that aren't accurate. and as soon as you know that timeline is toast, letting the customer know. it's pretty simple customer service - under-promise and over-deliver, or at the least, do what you say. not aimed at c6, just in general. my one...

    So Florida People... who hunts from a stand next to an airport???

    all that land and little to no hunting, i'd do it if i could. plus i'm sure deer are crossing the runways and endangering planes and passengers, so they may have managed hunts.

    Actual dope data not lining up with ballistic calculator?

    for factory ammo, i always put the box numbers (fps, bc) into the ballistic calculator and ensure the output (drop, windage) come pretty close to the box numbers for a sanity check (ie i didn't goof up the bc etc). then i put in the actual chrono speeds and go from there.

    Gunsmithing WARNING DON'T TRUST CARBON SIX

    yeah really, that's a no-brainer for sure. i wouldn't lose out on a single tag or similar opportunity because i didn't have a rifle ready. it's been a couple of years but my c6 took a while but came in as promised and has shot well but only a few rounds down it. sorry yours isn't working out.

    Actual dope data not lining up with ballistic calculator?

    isn't this step one in calculating ballistics? or just shoot it and see what it does at various yardages.

    Costco Shoppers - Scam Alert

    always go directly to the purported company's website, NOT via clicking on an apparent link. easy to just be complacent and click though if the email looks authentic.

    Your "Inventory..." How did it get that way?

    in my case, more money than smarts. but gunz are cool! and i've yet to find one that meets all my needs - uspsa, 2&3 gun, gas gun, prs, hunting, etc. but they say "beware the man with one gun."

    4DOF inclined fire error

    aha i think i see what you're saying, and it makes sense. the actual distance has to be used as it affects time in the air and thus windage, where the horiz effective distance would be used for drops. so you'd need to input actual distance and angle and the program should calc/know the horiz...

    Optics Deals You Should Be Aware Of

    what's the skinny on the zeiss conquest v6 2.5-15? sfp? no hashmarks for holding over? how's the dialing and return to zero vs a nightforce? at least on paper it should be super bright. you do a free return if i return in perfect shape and without mounting?
