Welcome, Mr Rios. Zee has talked about you here and there when it comes to stuff at the ranch. I always figured it was just another one of his imaginary friends… He talks about French models sometimes too. There may be a group of jackasses that decend upon the ranch in a few months. Just pretend you...

Also, I’m not a fan of the 6 o’clock hold. Maybe because my eyes allowed me to see well enough. I preferred narrow front sight blades and very little daylight between the front sight and sides of the rear sight. I always wanted to have my round hit right at the tip of my front sight. Trying to place...

Bullseye pistol is a fantastic way to fine tune fundamentals. The skills gained in bullseye shooting translate well into other disciplines of shooting. I can’t offer anything for service pistol or presidents type stuff. Not my game. I never shot sanctioned events. Only local matches that were match ...

Use whatever powder you want and reduce your powder charge and work up slowly. Use H110 if that’s what you have and like. It seems like you’re looking at 2-3 hundredths of an inch shorter than book OAL. Not a huge difference. If you have an old piece of brass, trim it to length and make a dummy roun...

Very sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.

Looks like fun. My apologies guys. It was as I expected. 11 hour drive up there, dropped off a bunch of stuff at my sons house and hung out that evening, then running around getting everything ready for the rehearsal and wedding Thursday. Busy all day Friday getting ready for the wedding that evenin...

I’d be down for that. Being very honest and not rude, I don’t know how much free time I’ll have or when it might be. I’m hauling a freezer full of meat to my son from our hunting trip earlier this year. Pretty much drive 10 1/2 to 11 hours, check into my motel and dump my stuff off, then head to my ...

Congrats! What part of northern Colorado will you be in?

I’ll be staying in Windsor.

Headed to northern Colorado this week for my son and future daughter in law’s wedding. Ultimate Father’s Day.

We’ve seen pretty good velocity and accuracy in 6ARC using Leverevolution powder in bolt gun and AR loads. I load 75gr Vmax for coyotes and 106 ELD-X for pigs.

AWWWWWW YEAAAAH!! :mrgreen: Not any terminal testing. A 405 through the spine is pretty definitive. Yep. Note that I didn't ask about bullet recovery. :lol: Until you soften those bullets down into maybe the 10-11 BHN range, you won't likely see anything in terms of meaningful deformation with thos...

Put the factory grip panels back in it! That isn’t a stag grip gun…

I’ve got a 6” GP100. Great find.

You mean that you didnt automatically assume it was the US Marshall's using a drone to surveil you .

Even if it was, my gestures towards it were pretty universal.

Several years ago I was out doing some yard work and drinking a beer at my place when a drone started flying and hovering directly above me. I flipped it the bird, it left. A bit later it showed up again. I flipped it the bird again and gave it a “cheers” with my beer. It left again. A little later ...

I agree with what the other guys have said. Get a 30 cal can. More versatility. Mine is plenty quiet on my 223s, 20 Practical, 6 ARC and 6.5 PRC. As far as barrel length, yeah, get one rated for your barrel length. When I got my SilencerCo 30 cal can, it said it was rated for down to a 10” barrel. A...

It’ll be worth it. When have we ever steered you wrong?…

Yes. Solid time with solid dudes. It’s just a financial drain to make the trip! Well not the TRIP, but the aftermath of buying stuff you were enabled into buying. I’ve decided to not say “I’m not buying that, I don’t need that” etc, and instead will say “lemme see this cork stuffer.” Then saying “f...

:D Yeah. A good shooting rifle and a bit of luck worked out well. I just plugged all the info into my ballistic app, dialed, got wind calls from Zee and sent it. I was extremely happy with the results. The rifle needs a few adjustments. A better scope mount and slightly different scope position will...

It does suck that This Old Tony doesn’t post much any more. Really enjoy his stuff and humor. Same with Mark Novak. Absolutely check him out. Rarely posts anything. But he’s got a lot of stuff worth watching on his page if you’re into gunsmithing. I like his wit and sense of humor as well. I also w...

Steve Morris is an engine builder I watch. Builds engines that cost more than new trucks. Drag and drive engines, where dudes will drive 250 miles to a track, click off a 6 second 1/4 mile and drive 250 to the next. Cletus McFarland because he does cool poop with cars. Most of them I “watch” while ...

Also, we’ve got my boy HOOKED! Since we got back, he’s been talking about wanting to build or buy a rifle, tripod and thermal. He’s just gotta work it all out, having a fiancé and a wedding coming up this summer… poor guy..

I’ve been super busy since we got back and didn’t take the time to post here. We had an amazing time. My boy hasn’t stopped talking about it since. Which is awesome. He had a great time and made me proud. It was tough on him, but he didn’t complain a bit. Just loved every minute of it. First, him co...
