19 Badger
Are wanting to just kill them or are you planning to eat them? If you want them dead, the badger will certainly do the job out to 200+ yards. If you plan to eat them, the badger will let you use a...

Short barreled rifle

loved my .223 #1 - 'til I didn't
Had a nice 7mm Rem Mag #1. Swapped it for a #1V in .223 because I always loved that falling block action and wanted something I would shoot more. If you FL sized, you would have total case head...

Turkey Rifles
In Montana, rifles are legal for the fall turkey hunt. Anything you would use on varmints is a good choice. I've taken way more turkeys with anything from .22LR, 20 VarTarg and even .22-250 than I...

This past week I sold some cases at what I figured was a fair price - fair based on the going rate of say, last September. I wasn't going to use them, and thought with inventory being non-existent...

Lyman Threaded:
STRKR: the shaft is threaded into the handle, but the cutting tip is a separate piece glued and inserted into the end of the shaft. That is the failure point.

Carbon fiber?
Think you mean carbon fiber, as micro fiber is better suited to soaking up spilled coffee or waxing your truck. :) Proof Research in Kalispell, MT has 20 caliber barrels listed at ~$729. Carbon...

I can't address your rifle issues, but I have used the 65gr GameKing to take over a dozen deer - both mulies and whitetail. I think that Sierra claims it is a GameKing for .22 caliber size game, and...

Sounds unethical, if not plain dangerous, to keep the name and change the spec. I know that the difference is slight (in this case), but where do you draw the line? I also find it hard to believe...

Still going steady with Moly
I've been shooting moly coated bullets (do my own coating in a vibratory cleaner) for about 15 years. My Kimber .223, Savage .22-250 and 20 Vartarg have only ever seen moly. All have SS barrels. I...

6.5 Build
6.5 Creedmoor build on Cabela's Savage 12FV.
Long process due to a barrel/barrel nut issue, which Savage eventually made right, so kudos to them.

surface deposit
I agree with DAA. I don't think it looks like corrosion. Looks more like a surface deposit. Most organics will include impurities that can coalesce and plate out over time - especially if they had...

I'm with Tin Man
Decent scopes. I've got three. No issue with the quality of the optics, but I HATE the circle-dot reticle. Whether on animals or paper, I think it obscures too much of the target.
