There's little that compares to the satisfaction of securing not one, but two kills before sunrise.

Thanks, Geno for the photo!

For over 40 years I have been first intrigued by then involved in what is commonly referred to as extreme distance shooting. Over that time I have given advice to and taught more than a few like minded sport shooters. However, my teaching skills pale in comparison to Rob Furlong - Rob Furlong's Marksmanship Academy abilities. A little investment now can enable you to pursue an activity I have enjoyed for decades. It's well worth it. Give it a go.

For most hunting applications, many of these modern long range wind and bullet drop compensating reticles can be a bit much. Most manufacturers of premier optics have them available. Once you look into them, they can be awesome. Leupold Optics has a many long range options for hunting scopes. I've personally used the TMOA, Windplex and IMPACT reticles and my first reaction to each was, "where have you been all my life?" The Windplex being an excellent longer range big game reticle and there are few better precision varmint/predator reticles on the market than the TMOA and IMPACT reticles.
The attached video has MIL increments, however the new Mark 4HD is available with MOA increments for those of us more familiar with that.
How the presenter in this video is shooting the new PR2 reticle is similar to how to use both the TMOA and IMPACT reticles.

Competitive shooter, Jon Pynch, demonstrates shooting with the new PR2 reticle in the Mark 5HD.Learn More: https://www.leupold.com/blog/post/unmatched-precis...

An interesting excerpt copy and pasted from Re*****on Arms page:

THE MODEL 700® A LEGEND FORGED IN STEEL. 60 YEARS OF UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE.

It's the number one bolt-action of all time, proudly made in the U.S.A. Since 1962, more Model 700s have been sold than any other bolt-action rifle before or since. The legendary strength of its 3-rings-of-steel receiver is now paired with a 5R barrel on every 700. Bearing the most popular bolt-action rifle in history.

Top choice of military and law enforcement officers, the Model 700 is unequalled in precision. Whether defending freedom or pursuing big game, its out-of-the-box accuracy is unmatched.

Re*****on fi****ms has joined forces with Timney Triggers and now all newly manufactured Re*****on Model 700 rifles will come with a factory-installed Timney trigger. There are three different versions of the Timney trigger we offer:

Impact 700 Trigger – All Model 700s except for the Alpha 1 and Police.
Elite Hunter Straight Trigger – Model 700 Alpha 1
Elite Hunter Curved Trigger – Model 700 Police

The Model 700 was 1st introduced in 1962 and Timney has been manufacturing their versions of the Model 700 trigger since 1965. Unquestionable commitment by our men and women to quality, performance and delivering a new level of standard to the hunter in the field.

The new Impact 700 trigger has a factory set pull weight of 3 – 4 pounds (non-adjustable) that will give you a crisp, clean break and features Timney’s Sear Engagement Adjustment Lock design (SEAL’d) which ensures a user-friendly experience.

Here is an interesting post from PROOF Research

Carbon fiber has long been hailed across many industries—aerospace, cycling, alternative energy—as a wonder material making everything lighter and stronger. When employed in a rifle barrel the benefits extend beyond reducing weight and increasing strength.

The qualities listed below are all based on barrels where the carbon fiber is applied correctly. There are lots of “carbon fiber” barrels on the market that only maintain the look of carbon fiber (sleeve the barrel with air space) and do not fully exhibit the qualities of what true carbon fiber technology can offer.

DISSIPATE HEAT FASTER THAN CONVENTIONAL STEEL BARRELS
Pulls the heat away from the steel core and down the length of the barrel to the surface of the carbon fiber which helps it cool faster. This is similar to how fiber optics pull light down the length of the of the cable.
On average, cools 10 -15% faster than steel barrels.
Presents maintained accuracy over longer sessions of fire as the barrel heats up.
Increases barrel life.
REDUCED WEIGHT
Provides the stiffness and rigidity of a heavy contoured steel barrel but at a fraction of the weight.
Up to 64% lighter than traditional steel barrels of similar length and contour.
Popular in hunting rifles due to the weight reduction.
INCREASED DURABILITY
Able to withstand some of the toughest environments and situations on the planet.
ACCURACY
The carbon fiber dampens vibration and harmonics within the barrel.
Less variation from different loads and bullet weights.
Easier to tune for accuracy as the nodes tend to be closer together.
Stiffness of the barrel is able to hold accuracy over multiple shots.

We clean a lot of rifle bores. Even if the rifle comes in for something other I try to remember to offer our bore cleaning service. Copper builds up quite quickly in rifle barrels.

Bell & Carlson stock for M700 SA BDL. It's going to lighten up a factory M700 in 7mm-08 REM.

Holiday Hornady Demons Part 3. Took my Hornady Iron Press apart after it seized up. I found a primer was stuck in a hole in the side of the channel the plunger rides in. I may as well have taken this holiday Monday off for all I'm accomplishing today! I may be press shopping as well!

My Hornady Iron Press has acquired the same demons my Hornady Magnum Case Tumbler has. I've never had a press lock up on me. About 2 years old, maybe 3 tops. My old Rockchucker lasted me about 30 years. I may be shopping for a press now!

I'm not saying anything derogatory towards Hornady in general. I've used their products since the current management were in grade school and will happily continue to do so. But once a certain product has repeatedly failed to perform as advertised, it is no longer an inconvenience. It's costly. And leads me to look towards another product. My old RCBS tumbler lasted over 25 years.

Ackley Improved. There's a notable difference in case size and the straighter walled 40 degree shouldered case is more efficient. More efficient means a better burn. Increasing velocity and consistency.

Winchester M70 260 AI project. This got put on the back burner. Primer shortage. I've scored a few primers, so I'm moving ahead. Setting full length sizing die. When I get down to fine-tuning a load, I'll most likely us a neck sizing die.

Winchester M70 270 Win pillar glass bed project. We provide 3 point bedding on projects with or without pillars. 3 point means the barrel and action are free from contacting the stock. The only contact is the rear of the recoil lug, the front and rear screw areas. Bedding a rifle does not MAKE a rifle shoot well. It allows the rifle shoot as well as it will without interference of the stock. More consistent. For hunting rifles that get used in varying environmental conditions, consistency can be more important than group size to a degree. For instance, a 1 moa rifle with a consistent POI is more reliable for hunting than a 0.75 moa rifle with a varying POI.

Moose burgers. Sour dough bread.

6.5 CM vs 260 Rem. What is your view on this subject?

Have you ever wondered about a 2 stage rifle trigger? I think it's the best invention for cold weather hunting. Remington M700 with Triggertech 2 stage trigger.

Parker Hale 30-06 SPR restoration project. Bell & Carlson stock with full length aluminum bedding block, custom fit, glass bedded. Finish is Cerakote Kryptek Nomad. Barrel, bolt finish is Cerakote Midnight Blue. Action finish is Cerakote Midnight Bronze. Scope is Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10×40mm on Leupold STD rings and 1 pc mount. Leupold Delta Ponit Pro 2.5 reflex sight on Weaver scope mounted tactical mount.

A little added maintenance while we're in there Brownin X-Bolt in 7mm RM.

Remington M700 7mm PRC scope mounting. Checking weights and heights. Whenever plan A is in question, we simply send the customer a few pics and they have the option to stay the course or choose a different path.

The longer you do anything, the less surprised you're going to be. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've had both front and back levels this close to matching. This gives me the impression that the new manufacturers of M700 rifles have seriously stepped up their manufacturing processes and their quality control.

M700 7mm PRC project. Farrell scope mounts. Perfect alignment.
