Re: How to Sight-In a Rifle
Great starting point post. :thumb I use a similar method for boresighting in the house, removing the bolt, acquiring the target and bringing the scope to the bore sight point.

Re: Aim Above or Below?

Re: MuleyMadness Roll Call
I've been hunting since the early 50s mol, and just a few years back got my first Muley. Since then I've shot a couple more but truthfull they were shot for meat more than trophy. The past few years, I've gained an appreciation of how hard a really nice Buck is to harvest in most cases and the chall...
