  1. White/copper-ish streaks or scratches in new barrel.

    I recently took my borescope to a gun store and scoped several barrels of new guns I was interested in. All of them had way more copper than I expected and one had a bit of rust as well.
  2. I want speed...

    AN old buddy swore by the 6-284 for coyotes. He would buy cheap Savage .243 take off barrels and ream them to 6-284
  3. Another "which one" thread.

    I have the NX8 and the glass is a bit blurry around the edges compared to NXS and ATACR. It doesn't detract from the performance as I am not looking at the edge but it is noticeable. At the higher powers the glass gets a bit dimmer on the 50mm compared to a 56mm objective.
  4. So Cal Fires!!!

    LA County Public Works claims to have captured some ridiculous amount in the trillions of gallons of runoff storm water by making small infiltration ponds along the freeways, they dig a big pit then fill it with pea gravel, similar to a leach line of a septic system. Sounds great, right ? The...
  5. So Cal Fires!!!

    This is exactly what happened in my Tick fire. I covered 4 houses putting out spot fires before they got too big. Numerous flaming pieces of flaming debris landing randomly but if they land in something combustible it is bad news. Your son did a fantastic job !

    Got out thursday to chase chukar, me and a buddy both got a hard earned limit, he took 3 so there's only 9 in the photo. My buddy called wednesday night to cancel the hunt as he couldn't get to his place after work to get his hunting gear because of the fire, he was under an evacuation order. I...

    I live in North Los Angeles county in a 1,600 square foot stucco walled tile roof tract house. Four years ago my homeowners insurance was $1,150 a year then 2 years later it was $2,450 as most insurers had left CA or wouldn't write policies. In June 2024 it went to $8720 and only one company...

    They are getting tougher and tougher to hunt as they go higher into the cliffs, but I've been rock climbing all of my life so I'm at home in the cliffs too ! A couple quail to make a mixed bag.
  13. 20 BR With Berger 55 Grain, 8 or 9 twist and Optimum Length ?

    Finally got an answer from Berger, they say go with an 8T which would probably be to cover the worse case scenario of low velocity and low altitude/dense air. ----------------------------------------- Chris, We suggest the 1-8 twist for this bullet in 20 PPC and up cartridges. Barrel condition...
  14. 20 BR With Berger 55 Grain, 8 or 9 twist and Optimum Length ?

    I have read at 3,800fps they will come apart with an 8 twist and to use a 9 twist but Phil- barefooter still says to use a 9 twist. I am just about to order a barrel(or 2) for a Panda and want to get it right. Has anybody here run an 8 and had them come apart ? What length is optimum for the...
