That’s some funny chit Kingston. My targets are pretty ghetto for sure. You should see my clap-trap of a portable shooting bench. Arguing with me is one thing... but Pat is a sorcerer with all things hunting/shooting. Never argue with a fool, bystanders may not be able to tell the difference. If you're not burning through batteries in your headlamp,...you're doing it wrong.

B.J. bullets and / or i expected better 5 groups out of this bullet . B.J. bullets were advertised as a very accurate target bullet but so far the level of accuracy i expected just is not there. but i can use Nosler`s B.T, hunting bullets and shoot consistent 1/2 inch 5 shot groups out of 2 different rifles that seems odd to me ? i also bet this nice 25-06 iddave has built shoots better groups with either 115 gr. Nosler B.T. or 115 gr. Berger bullets which are just a hunting bullet too. Last edited by pete53; 04/06/20. LIFE NRA , we vote Red up here, Norseman

Hook, My smith calls it “Krinkle paint”...beyond that I couldn’t tell you much. It feels/functions almost exactly like Kimber Montana paint if you’re familiar with that at all. aalf, Thanks man. He’s a pretty great kid and I hope he makes a lot of memories with it in the years to come. If you're not burning through batteries in your headlamp,...you're doing it wrong.

I might've missed it in this thread or a past thread, but what stock is that? I'm in the process of rebuilding my old ADL 270, and this rifle is pretty close to what i'm after. Thanks

Thanks That’s a McMillan, Remington KS pattern...edge fill of course. It’s my favorite hunting stock of all time, and works beautifully with this contour imho. My pleasure Gunzo.

I'm running them in my .257wby (1-7.5) @ 3300+ and had great consistency out to 800 yards... I use .340 as the g7 to true it up. Also-- a #60 wire bit to open up the tips a bit for hunting will help. I've taken one Aoudad with that combo so far and he was dead on his feet.

Black Jack bullets but with 5 not as many for consistency, but i can with 115 gr. B.T. any day. but if your happy with a couple of 3 shot groups good for you,enjoy your rifle ,your rifle sure looks great. Pete53 Really ?
