Highly recommended.

I've reverted to Scheels rubber slings on my hunting rifle. Everything else ends up sliding around when you're hiking for hours on end.Quote:

I'm really digging the p10c. Maybe I need to get one for myself...
Any chance you can make a holster like that for a CZ 85 B? Found an old surplus last week and fucking love it! Perfect trigger. Taking it to a.smith today for a complete break down, detail strip, re-crown barrel, sights, and maybe cerakoty.Quote:

That's a great setup for a 10/22. Too bad that configuration is considered an "assault rifle" where I live.
Spend some time with a green scotchbrite pad on the inside of the receiver to clean up the shitty casting (the black finished receivers are even worse as you have to clean off the overspray) and allow the bolt to cycle more smoothly. Smoothing out the guide rod will also help it cycle better.

STG58 coming to my .308 quiver, needs a few items to be correct and those are on order.
Steyr kit build on an Imbel receiver with original barrel.
Anybody ever hunted or hand loaded with Swift Sciorrocos? Got some at a trade show in 180g (300wm) and thinking they'd make a great elk round.
Hunted a few seasons with the 150grn .284 hand rolled for a 7RUM. Killed 2 Elk and a couple deer. Performed as advertised and grouped well. Moved on to the Berger VLD 168 though. Excellent bullet in my opinion. Work up a load and see how it groups. They will kill animals.Quote:

What's a good scope for general hunting that won't break the bank? Most shots are within 50 yds, usually sight in dead on @ 100yds. Currently running a 30 year old bushnell 3-9x that seems to work, wish it had BDC for some of the longer shots/playing around at the range.
Get a Tikka t3 stainless.Quote:

Every time I look I come back to this. With the laminated stock I think it looks pretty damn good.Quote:

Depending on budget, the Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44 with the dead hold reticle is a great scope and perfect for what you are wanting to do and is very reasonably priced.Quote:

Agreed. I would actually choose a T3 Lite SS for hunting over any other production rifle of any price. My .300WM is a 1/2" rifle with hand loads and cost $650.Quote:

There are some accurate and fast shooters in this hood.
I've never been able to get too worked up about 'light' rifles.Quote:

Leupold or Vortex 3-9 on top and you're good to go out further (hopefully) than you'd be willing to take the shot. Use 130gr rounds and zero the 270 at 26 yards and you're in the kill zone from the muzzle all the way out past 300yds. That setup, should IMO, be the standard east coast deer zapper.
You can carry a cheat sheet of ballistic data for what ever caliber you are shooting, its not a calibrated BDC but will serve you well. Some folks will tape it to the stock of the rifle.
Leupold and Vortex scopes are worth the money although I have had good luck so far with Nikon lately.
Another Tikka fan here. 7 mag Stainless Lite, with a recoil lug from Montana Tactical and a Vortex Viper PST 6-24. Sub MOA, sub 9 lbs, and sub $1,500. Tough to go wrong. You could easily scope down from a 6-24 PST to a 3-9 or 2.5-10 range scope for what you're looking to do. I've had good luck with Vortex so maybe check out the HS and HST scope in lower mags to save weight and cost. Leupold, Nikon, Sig all make nice optics too at all ranges of price point.
This is my 4th 10/22 so have already cleaned out the shit in the receiver. Also ordered an automatic bolt release, Volquartsen trigger and extended bolt handle. Next time I find a wad of cash I'm also buying a tactical solutions barrel with built-in suppressor.Quote:
