Thanks to you all this site has a special place in my heart, and this hobby of rifles and hunting deer around here gives me something to do and makes me happy. right now am looking at a few lightweight and shorter rifles, maybe 20" barrel and 6.3 lbs without scope and maybe go with a lightweight...

yeah I love the bergara, my problem is a nerve disease that has taken all my strength in the legs and arms making it hard to walk even 100 yds, much less with a heavier rifle, but there will be situations where it can be used, my dad loves it too. he is an old school long action guy .

I have one of these optika 5 meoptas in 4-20x50 on my ruger american predator in 6.5cm and this rifle is lighter and so the whole rig is alot easier for me to tote. I just went too heavy with my rifle choice this year is all. the bergara is a wonderful rifle though. am thinking about the new...

oh, the update on the meopta optika5 2-10x42 scopes, I bought 2 of them and they are great, I feel they are as good as the 3-15x44 and also the 4-20x50 in the same series, and they are shorter and so more compact. thin duplex reticle allows very precise aiming. I got that reticle on all 4 of...

well I had trouble getting around this season with my bergara weighing 11 pounds, so I put the original stock back on it and went to a meopta 2-10x42 scope witch is still 20 oz or so, and ended up with around 9 lbs total. Had an issue with not being able to get up off my hunting chair one...

I tried crimping hammers after reading Butterbean's stuff on the matter and it became the easiest way to fine tune a load. the Lee fcd crimp die is super cheap to buy and it is one of the first things I get for a new caliber. It has improved groups for every gun and load I have used it for. The...

I love me some Farleg.

Congrats on your brown bear, he's a monster.

Gerry, sounds like you are having fun with that new rifle and they are a great value for the money.

thanks guys for the support. I normally don't go above 10 power with a scope while hunting regardless of it's power capabilities so these last two meopta's of 2-10x42 dont create any difficulties for me . I took a chance of getting the model without the paralax adjustment and liked it so much I...

euro optics had the best price I could find lately and the sale lasts until jan 1st I think.

I have been using and buying the meopta optika5 scopes as of late, they are second focal plane with thin duplex. they are physically heavy and they arent exactly pretty but they have the German Schott glass in them and all 4 of them that I have outperform my 2 vx3i and vx3hd scopes. the...

So now we have a few weeks left of deer hunting and we will see how that goes, have passed on does and 2 bucks so far that were 16 inchers as everyone that helps me with a deer kill has been real busy lately so. it's getting down to the wire though. Have been shooting this 270 win. lately with...

update on my b14 hunter model 270 win. 24" barrel. I am very happy with this rifle but I made the mistake of putting it into a stock that ended up being too heavy for my crippled butt to deal with while deer hunting so I just recently put it back into it's original stock, and also took the...

Congrats on your buck! what a brute.
