If you plan on doing camo on the rifle (or if you already have) look for the blemish units which are less expensive on Thordsen web site. I’ve done two starting with OD green blemish units that came out quite well.

There maybe hope for improvement in St Lawrence county. St Lawrence county court judge Richards who put sporting restrictions on most permits just retired after 15 years. His replacement will be selected in next November election. Meanwhile judges will rotate in replacement.

I used a stock ruger lightweight barrel to shoot distinguished at an Appleseed this year. I just added a leather check pad to help stock position. Often in timed position shooting competition you don’t need tack driving accuracy. For me I shot CCI standard velocity ammo that was good enough...

Nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Maybe a .06 veggie wad underneath? JK lol.

I will say that two of the four clubs I belong to will not allow .338 L and larger calibers due to Excessive damage to steel targets. Owners could not refrain from shooting steel targets under 300 yards so both clubs banned 338 and up. Rifles not even permitted on club property (And targets...

Put a low power scope (1-4X variable) on it and you be good to go in brush or open fields.

30-06 is never a bad choice For deer at 300 yards 450 bushmaster would be a bad choice. There are several cartridges I would take over either one you listed. 270 Win in a long action or 308 in short action being two. Just my opinion.

I use “for all lawful purposes” on my MA application. There are a few towns that on their permit application state you cannot use all lawful purposes as a reason, but this phrase is generally used.

I was exclusively buying Nikon for several years. The ( original) buckmaster with BDC in 4 - 12 X was very good value for the money and I bought several. Last time I went to get one Nikon had removed features and lowered price to Buckmaster II, or I had to pay twice as much for their higher...

I’ve used a floating case on my duck gun for years. Mostly to protect it from dogs, decoys and bumps getting into out of boats and blinds. There is a nice Benelli in the muck at bottom of duck swamp near me that was not recovered that a neighbor should have had cased.

Not long ago I was shooting / spotting for two guys with the 700P in 308. The both were able to get hits out past 750 yards. One had atlas bipod other had Harris bipod both shooting prone with a rear bag.

Ordered mine today. After talking to two guys that have owned them for a while I ordered the tripod instead of the plate and I ordered the Labrador battery pack as they are reported to be finicky on battery pack

Thanks for posting. I’ve been hoping this would happen.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice Take your time to understand Mass laws before venturing into Mass. northeast shooters a good place to start Some highlights: FID is needed to posses long gun ( rifle or shotgun) if it is low capacity LTC needed for high capacity long gun or...

Made by Peacefull Valley Arms in Pennsylvania. They have a decent web site showing selection, specification and prices. Models run less than $600 up to almost $5k. (Group buy got better prices as the paid half up front and one guy went down and picked them up). buy was early 2018 If you...

This is what the group buy looked like for black powder signal cannons over in MA. Still kicking myself I did not get in on it. They have 20” diameter wheels with 22” or 26” barrels. Golf ball size bore

Over here in the PRM ( peoples republic of Massachusetts ) you can own a cannon but if you want to fire it you need a Cannoneers License from the state. Didn’t stop 20 guys doing a group buy and getting them.

Just like there is no crying in baseball, there are no mosquitoes in deer hunting. Seriously, I believe when it’s warm enough for mosquitoes it’s too warm for much deer activity as they will wait for cooler night time temps to move and feed. However if you are limited in which days you can...

Thanks for the input. Looks like that bolt gets to go as is. I like simple

sorry if this has been asked before, but I searched forum and did not find answer. Thordsen website for NY suggests stock screw should have screw head or cavity filled with epoxy or silicon. Any suggestion on best way to do this, keeping in mind at some point I might need to remove stock...

In Massachusetts ( where I’m stuck for one more year), you can register as independent ( actually undeclared) and on primary day you get choice of ballot either dem or republican. Since many dem primaries are hotly contested winners margins often slim. I almost always vote against incumbents...

Is this for a standard barrel or a heavy barrel.

You just don’t get it. They don’t want you to own ANY firearm. After banning the black rifles they will want any semi auto rifle Then any semi auto pistol Then any and all pistol and revolvers which are “responsible” for the majority of “gun violence” Then your “sniper rifles” which you...

ROLCON. Republicans on line cannot own narrative A friend told me

I have this with short barrel, bought it a few decades ago from a buddy. Tend to have it with me a lot when on the hunting property doing food plots or woods work or whatever. It has dispatched a lot of porcupines and other vermin. Just a reliable honest tool.

Good trade if you are referring on only background check on weapon purchase. Problem is we are going to get extended background checks and get nothing for it. Not even dinner first.

Damn Edwardteach you do get your panties in a twist when you get called for posting bad info. Since you can’t defend your lame post you go to insults and name calling. Nice liberal behavior. As far as my age, unlike Al Gore I don’t claim to have invented the internet but I was there...

INCORRECT! Massachusetts requires a permit just to possess a handgun or a long gun or ammunition or components for reloading. Connecticut has issues with handguns and ARs. NJ will get you for handgun or possession of Hollow point ammo. It’s a rats nest of traps out there so do your homework.

Does your savage have the accutrigger in it? How heavy is trigger pull? What length barrel do you have? I run 26” which gets more FPS than a shorter barrel. I run about 2700 FPS out of 26” barrel with 168 grain. What type of groups can you shoot at 100 or 300? The Sierra game king is...

The flags had been donated to bar after original one burned. (Near end of article) Property of bar not flagburner.

If the person had purchased and burned a rainbow flag that he owned it would be free speech. Since he burned a flag owned by someone else it’s vandalism.

Pennsylvania is a better bet over VT. VT addded mag restrictions this year and more could. Be coming.

He didn’t check the horizontal tracking of the scope which would happen with traditional boxing of a scope. But not necessary here as you hold into wind not dial it in. So he could have held five mils or mins into wind and checked the calibration of lines in reticle. What I think he got...

Goggle “ precision rifle blog”. Guy there surveys the top PRs shooters every year on what they are using for (caliber, action, barrel, ammo, scope, ballistic program, etc). Last survey had the top 8 calibers used as 6 mm. 6mm creedmore was #2. 6.5 mm creedmore had dropped down to ninth in...

I think the guy is SOL. Massachusetts has very specific laws regarding the transportation and storage of firearms not directly under your control. While he was in the in the car he could argue that he was either in direct control and / or in compliance with law for transportation of a...

In a practice session for an upcoming Appleseed, I ran into a problem with my rifle with a dedicated .22 AR upper. Suddenly I could not shoot it for anything. (Meanwhile I was cruising along comfortably with my 10-22) Put the rifle on the bench, and I was shooting 1.5 inch groups at 25M. Rot...

I’m currently living in Massachusetts (for another 12-14 months). Comm2A is an organization in MA that pursues remedy for gun rights through the courts. They REALLY have their act together in playing the long and short game at local,state, and federal level. Very knowledgeable and strategic...

The gentleman presents an articulate argument on what is wrong with red flag laws. It was first I heard that Connecticut’s red flag law has a 30% rate of being overturned when gun owner gets his day in court, even with order requiring two independent police officers to support case. Only...
