I know I'm a little late to the party but I've been running a Clayton lift & track bar for 5 years... in Alaska. Super impressed with the performance, fit, and finish. Where my adj. Rancho's are looking a bit long in the tooth (a little rusty & generally beat up but still running well), the...

ChatGPT? Artlist.io? There are a lot of good image generators out there these days. lol...

I didn't think highly of Prescott when my parents retired to Cottonwood in 96. They finally gave up on AZ altogether & moved back to Granbury TX (i grew up near there) in 2004. There was a generally shitty quality to the people who migrated to the verde valley area, even back then.

Forgot I actually have a 1 lb can of that also... I think I used it on some loads for my son's 8mm Mauser. I didn't think of using it for the 6.5 though. I'll give it a try too! Thanks again!

Think I already solved my accuracy problem. I was so focused on the scope rings that I accidentally ignored the (rather large) bolts clamping the rings to the pic rail. Genius me checked them this morning and they were barely finger tight. Guess I'm lucky the scope didn't come flying off &...

Gen X ftw...

I heard folks were having great luck with h100v in the 6.5, so I snagged a 1 lb can for this first batch... but I'm wondering if that's just more internet hype surrounding an already over hyped cartridge. I've also got an 8lb jug of h4350 that I really like for my 300wm. I like the temp...

Actually excellent advice in my case. 😅 Luckily, I had a ringer with me.

Good idea! I'll try that too! Guess I've just been lucky so far but all my rifles have shot really well until this one, so I've never been confronted with this type of problem to solve.

I was using 2 different loads I did myself. I haven't bought factory rifle ammo since sandy hook. One was a 143 gr ELD-X and the other was a 140 gr Barnes. I don't have my load data in front of me but I think I used 39 grains of H-100v on both. I reload everything from my 300wm to an old 8mm...

It's hard damn near impossible to find trustworthy advice on the internet these days... with that in mind, do y'all have any suggestions on a gun forum you trust? I'm having trouble with my wife's 6.5 CM. It's a Remington (bull barrel) barreled action I dropped into an Oryx chassis...

Wow! Would love to hear some details on the build! 🍺

Well, you steered me right on the drop holster (did a 7.5 mile hike thru tough terrain wearing it yesterday... incredibly comfortable), so I'll just grab a set of these too. Lol... Thanks!

I need some advice on a new pair of noise cancelling muffs. My old Peltors finally died this weekend. They lasted 15 years so I really can't complain but I was wondering if there's another brand y'all like better? Looking to keep it under $200... if I can still get quality for that price...

This must be entirely due to climate change, and couldn't possibly be related to f*cked up forestry management policies for the last 60+ years... :rolleyes: Yellowstone learned the hard way when the whole damn park burned down a few decades ago.
