PDog Safari 2024 aka: Doc and Taylor's Excellent Adventure

[voldoc02]

notice the Revolving top on this shooting table=rotates 360*
still has Tripod steadinest but HEAVY HEAVY 2 man job carrying it from truck to set up=
The top of the table has a central spindle which allows for the 360 Rotation with turn buckles to tighten
and stabalize once desired posssition is reached BUT Built like a "TANK weighs like a TANK LOL

Voldoc is in experimental stage now of building another shooting table that one man can easily handle. We have come a long way from the first trip. I started out with a table that folded up like a card table. the top was so flimsy it swagged in the middle with the weight of a Farley and rifle. Then I had a heavy top table with screw in legs that was rock stable for the 1,000 yard shots. I also have a original Pivot BR LITE table from Rick in Oregon.

Great pictures and write up guys. I just feel fortunate to have made some of those trips with friends. My partner passed away but if I ever go again I think I'll put a AR together. I've got a brand new trigger tech trigger setting here for one.

Voldoc , Kruzan, birdog, set up by barn in shade glassing 1,000 yd plus shots

 

[birdog]

I believe this is a Rem 700 in ST-1000 stock . He sold me the stock.

 

[birdog]

3 Amigos Glassing at 1,000 yds. I used 115 bergers, Kruzan 105 A-max, Doc 87 V-max. All were 6mm DASHERS

Voldoc's Big Orange Raindrop ST=1000 on a Stiller Diamondback

 

[birdog]

These tables are heavy enough to mount presses and barrel vices

General Lee--May be politically incorrect Rem 700 22 BR
Maybe DIXIE would be proper

Congratulations on the 1000yard prairie dog shots. I know how hard it is to hit one that far out.
That is my goal, but I am still looking for that 1000 yard hit.

I just returned from 3 days at the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, it was at best average, as it gets a LOT of hunting pressure. One day was rainy, one day was good, and the last day was very good, and was sunny, warm, and low winds. We had plenty of dogs to shoot at, and I managed a few at 500+. We had 6 of us shooting, and everyone went home happy. Of course we go home happy, no matter the shooting results, after all, it's Prairie Dog hunting with your buddies !

Went there my first trip. Next year we were headed out again to Rosebud but stopped in a little restaurant on side of the road in Nebraska and the waitress there hooked us up with local rancher. Never went to Rosebud again.

O yea I learned all I know from the best ol @voldoc02

 

[6.5guy]

even though I did kill a 1108 yard pup with the ol hornady 62gr eld-vt in the 22 dasher. I still think I loved the 22 ARC in my ar-15 shooting the factory 62gr hornady eld-vt or match ammo I killed a ton of dogs 800 plus with that thing and one big thing I love about it is my new brass catcher from BRASS GOAT it is life changing over the cheap fabric ones and very easy to put on and take off. Anyone that shoots AR needs to have one the guy that owns the company is an extremely nice guy and will go out of his way to please his customer. One of best trips of my life now if I can just get ol @voldoc02 to go on a goat hunt in Wyoming if we can find someone to hunt on that is… I tell ya one thing I sure am glad that I have finally changed ol @voldoc02 over to the first focal place scope world and better yet he is starting to like vortex. That new primal rights finish vortex radian tripod with leveling head looks nice.HaHAHA . It’s hard to beat a company when you have a pair of vortex furry 500 hd ab binos and there not working right you call them and they tell you to go to the nearest sporting goods store and they will have a new set waiting for ya. Can’t complain about that
