    Zogman, go see Kevin Fire Audiology on Washington, he’ll get you fitted for custom plugs. It’s been a while for me but I believe you’ll stay pretty close to your budget.

    What’s your SHTF gun?

    I'm going to loop the laugh @ the end of "Master of Puppets" and have a bunch of bluetooth speakers networked, that oughta scare away pretty much anyone.

    Cripes I can barely stain the deck. Those are awesome!

    30/'06 Pondering and Blather

    The ring only goes 1/2 way around, there's no "top" on either ring. I assume they're both soldered on. I know the "Return To Zero" of the Claw Mount system works very well.

    If it ever requires a new bbl, it’ll be octagon. 7x57 in its current form.

    https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/18202086/gonew/1/wts-brno-21#UNREAD Here’s what I’d aim for (link anbove) including the double triggers, but, I’d do a lightweight Oct. bbl.

    Or instead of 7x57 you could do 257 Robert’s or 6MM Rem. German Mausers yearn for 57MM sustinence.

    I'd order the lightest taper octagon Lilja can make you in .284, have it chambered 7x57, and have someone wizard you a stock out of walnut.

    Better stock up

    If your asshole boss doesn't cock-block your exit.

    Better stock up

    On the upside, 8-9 yrs from now the perch and crappie class should be exceptional. Less pressure on the egg-laden females AND all the snow should produce a rise in water levels allowing eggs to be laid up in good freshly flooded brood cover.

    When you say “open sight” Mounts, do you mean the really high style you look through the bottom for opens or lift your face way off the stock for scope use?

    Elk could be moved more safely in pipelines rather than on trucking or train routes.

    Invasive Pythons

    I suspect the capture 1st is to try and make it so that folks aren’t out shooting every single snake they see.

    Gun Builds Being Contemplated

    Regarding shortening the screens, I was talking about the ubiquitous "Crony" chronos that fold in half. As to the pictured chronograph, it's possible to shorten the distance between the screens if the rifle and the chrono aren't both level. The pictured chrono times the bullet between the...

    How much Varget? I did some fiddling with Quickload, and it shows ~97K PSI to get to 4500FPS w/24" 240Wby and 55 BT's. That kind of pressure is "1 and done" as your primers will fall out. Bit more fiddling shows no powder no matter the burn rate nor compression gets you to 4500FPS without...

    22", factory Kimber Montana bbl taper. With the NF atop it should be 7.25# all up, give or take an OZ or 2. 22" is a great plenty out of a 223 and far handier than 26". I've done the 10#+ rifle thing and short of shooting prairie dogs, I prefer lighter and shorter. Regarding chambering to...

    Gun Builds Being Contemplated

    4500 is simple. You just don’t open the Chrony flat, shortening the distance between the screens. In response to OP, I’ve got a 1:7 .224 Lilja Kimber Montana dupe ordered, should arrive in Apr. Then turn a .204 varmint into a “Frankentana” (blued action/SS bbl) 1:7 223 Rem. Shorten the...
