I'm in Alaska for the next month or so. Looking to do some fishing if anyone can recommend somewhere to go in the Fairbanks or Eielson AFB area.
Arrived at my new base
Well I arrived in South Korea this week. Working on getting setteled in. The weather is nice but it is humid compared to Idaho. Now I just hope this next year here goes quick so I can get back home.
Bought myself a going away gift
Well I leave for overseas on Sunday so I picked myself up a gift. After lots of thought over the last few months on a long range rifle for varmit and deer, I decided upon a 25-06 remington. Having my mind set on a single shot rifle I began my search and decided on a H&R Ultra rifle with laminate stock, 26in heavy barrel. I owened a H&R chamberd in .223 a few years ago with great performance. The TC was a consideration but I just couldnt bring myself to spend three times the amount on a rifle that just does'nt look good to me. Anyways I topped it with a 6x18x44 with target turrets and side adjustable focus. Worked on varmit loads today for 75gr v max, rem lrp, and win 760. Loaded 51gr, 52gr, 53gr, 54gr, 55gr at col 3.100. 55 grain to 53 grain loads were not satisfactory by any means 1 1/2in groups at 100yards, 52grains loads dropped to 3/4in groups at 100yards, 51grain loads produced what I was hopping for, all three shots touching 100yards. Plan to work on a 115grain nos bt load next. Not to shabby for a $250 rifle. This one will be staying around.
starting to have a few to many pelts ( and one more to the pile )
Called 3 min, sat for about 10 min and look who came to the dinner bell, 70yrds, CZ 527 .223, 50 gr nosler bt hand load, right behind the skull no exit.
