  1. Same load basically that I'm shooting. You're not running that out of an Omega conversion are you? What action, Remington 700 CF, 700 ML, or large shank savage? What ignition are you using? I'm still using 209, it works just fine for me and is simple. I know the trend lately is to use LMRP module ignition systems. Just curious.
  2. I agree, I would skip the sabots they are nothing but trouble with smokeless pressures. Honestly for what you are trying to do smooth forming would be my suggestion. It's very easy to size them and loading is a breeze as well. I'm shooting a 275 grain Parker just over 3000 FPS. I could push it harder, but there's really no need. This load is a little over 5000 ft-# of energy at the muzzle and the ballistics are really great.
  3. I built one using a Remington 700 ML action a few years back. It has a Brux barrel and radial brake on it. It's on the heavy side, but is one of the best shooting firearms I own. I think next time I would skip the break, as it's a pain to load through and the noise is awful... I used Luke at Arrowhead sporting goods for my barrel and other parts and he was great to work with. What are your plans for bullets? Are you planning on still using sabots, or are you going to smooth form or full form your bullets?
  4. I think the points made about corn being bad for deer are valid in the Adirondack areas and southern Catskills, in central and western NY where it is primarily ag country it's a moot point as it's part of their regular diet.
  5. I feel this should be covered by what is called a habitat stamp (in many states). This habitat stamp would be part of your regular purchase of a hunting license. What this would do is require others that use public property to help fund it by requiring they have a habitat stamp. As it is, the majority of the money that is used to fund public property is funded by hunting license sales, however there are many people using public property without a hunting license (ie. hikers, skiers, bicyclers ect.). I'm not saying they shouldn't be using public property for these activities, I just feel they should be helping to fund it like the hunters are. As far as the other part of the conversation about adjusting deer hunting regulations. I feel if they changed to a 1 buck limit without attaching it to any implement, along with reducing the length of firearms season (maybe a split season) and moving it out of the rut, then you would see some gains in age structure of whitetail buck. Just my $.02
  6. Bottle of soy sauce Cup of veg. oil Minced garlic Cup of sugar sesame seeds Horseradish Minced red onion Mix well, put in ziplock bag in fridge for a day.
  7. I'm a fan of leupold as well, but would also consider a 3-9x40 trijicon for this rifle. You can get either a standard type duplex or a post type reticle, and the glass is pretty nice in them.
  8. Interesting, I had that same model and decided to upgrade. Sold mine to a friend and he had the string break as well. This xbow hadn't been shot more than 30-40 times either...
  9. So you're saying that someone can fly a drone over my fenced in back yard and spy on my sun bathing wife and there is nothing I can do about it? I don't think so...
  10. It's actually illegal to fly drones over peoples property without permission, so that's out too.
  11. Serious question, is the deer feeder you can see one of the automatic feed ones? Did he maybe use that to throw feed to said chickens daily instead of having to dump a 5 gallon bucket?
  12. Have him arrested? lmfao .. It is not against the law to feed your chickens...... enter sarcasm...
  13. You keep stating "what's right is right", but you have absolutely no proof that they did anything "wrong" you have totally assumed that part and have gone as far as comparing it to abuse of children. All you have done is heard second hand information about your neighbor and used that information to assume the worst of your neighbor. With the other statements you've made about them on hear it really sounds like you are jealous of them and are using that and your assumptions to justify calling the police on them for something that may or may not have even happened. I really hope I never have neighbors like you...
  14. On this one, I feel if you saw the bait in the field either from a property line or however it would be justified. Based off the information you have provided, you have no proof of wrong doing and really no justification for accusing the person of wrong doing. All you "know" (from a second hand source) is that he bought some corn from a local farmer, this happens all the time. Are you sure the guy doesn't have a couple of pig, or beef cows he's feeding? As stated, does he burn it for fuel? If myself and family had a cold and I went to the drug store and bought a bunch of cold medicine and you saw me are you going to call the police accusing me of making meth? Just asking...
  15. I also have a vacmaster chamber sealer, it's night and day compared to the standard type vacuum sealers. I use the VP215.
  16. Put one screw anchor into the ground in the middle of the blind with a cable down to it.
  17. I'm not sure how it's possible that tightening the bolt retainer can cause the end of the bolt to tip up? The bolt should be flat on the flight deck and no amount of pressure should cause the arrow to lift off the flight deck unless the flight deck is bowed up in the middle or there is an obstruction in the fletch channel.
  18. Ray's is great, go there quite often! Don't be afraid of the smoked meatloaf...
  19. A little venison backstrap, with pablano pepper, portabello mushrooms, and some grilled squash. Pretty tasty.
  20. 300 WM is a good caliber selection, as there has been a ton of development with it and ammo is easily available for it. You kind of need to figure out what bullet weight you plan on shooting (more than likely on the heavy/long side for the good BC) that will determine your barrel twist rate. There are online calculators available for this (Berger bullets has one) or you can talk to a gunsmith that can help you. I'm not certain how recoil sensitive you are, but that needs to be taken into account and if you are, maybe have a break installed. The caution I would give with a break on a hunting rifle is NOISE, hearing protection is a must... Spend a little money and put a good trigger in the rifle, they are worth their weight in gold. At the ranges you a looking at, you are probably best off to get an optic that has the ability to dial elevation and have a round specific turret cut for it once you settle on a round to shoot out of it. There is tons more info out there, but that should get you started. Also, maybe look at the site longrangehunting.com, tons of info over there.
  21. I really like the RTIC coolers. I have several different models including their bag type and they are all great.
  22. I'm interested in this. Do you have all the paperwork from Christensen, thread protector for taking the brake off? Also, what MM objective is the scope? Thanks
  23. I vote for ship strippers into Vernon national for after the round of clays. This way you can show up to the rusty rooster tipsy, covered in glitter, smelling like gun powder and cotton candy... Oh yeah, and maybe one of the strippers can be dressed as a doctor to try and help your buddy find his balls.
