Unfortunatley, that was last fairly good day of shooting. Weather deteriorated to point of tornado warnings. 100kmph winds knocked down half dozen trees in my hosts driveway. They even shut down the Chuckwagon races at the Stampede!

One good memory was my host's sister-in-law was visiting from Florida. Her laugh made me think she should be riding a broom. Being a gentleman, I cautioned her that it was dangerous terrain and she should stay out of the way. Of course she did not heed my advice and promptly sank butt deep in the mosquito breeding grounds. Another person took some photos and vids but refuses all my offers of good money to provide me with a copy....darnit! The photographer fears the vid may show up on the "Tube". ]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 23:39:23 MST Red Dog Photo Album http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6584#6584 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6584#6584 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:28:06 MST hoghntr-PA Photo Album http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6583#6583 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6583#6583 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:37:52 MST Red Dog Photo Album http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6582#6582 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6582#6582 I was in process of building a .260 Remington for my host in Alberta, however he seems to have his mind made up for a new Savage in .338 Lapua Magnum. All I can do is shake my head as he is very recoil shy. He adamantly claims the included brake reduces felt recoil to that of a light .308.
We used to have to qualify with a Sporter weight .308 Win and following a course of fire of forty rounds, it was not uncommon for several of my men to have bruised shoulders as just uniform shirts were allowed to be worn.
My host assumes that I shall do the reloading for him as well. In the final analysis, the fault may be my own as I am the one that exposed him to shooting a .338 LM (Heavy 36 pound with after-market brake) several years ago and that rifle's recoil was extremely light.
What someone needs to invent is a portable shooting platform about 15/20 foot deck. Something one could disassemble and throw in the back of a p/u within five minutes. For 2% of ur gross and a couple of prototypes, you may have this idea! ]]> Sat, 17 Jul 2010 12:09:49 MST Red Dog General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6581#6581 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6581#6581 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 11:45:44 MST Scopeman General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6580#6580 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6580#6580 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:25:34 MST hoghntr-PA General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6579#6579 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6579#6579 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 18:50:43 MST havoc ~Suggestion Box http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6578#6578 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6578#6578
Where have you been hiding it all these years?

I haven't added the javascript required to make the jump happen without requiring the user to hit the "Jump" button, but I plan get to that eventually. ]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:39:57 MST havoc ~Suggestion Box http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6576#6576 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6576#6576
For our purposes, I consider our rifles 300M max and that is on a very calm day. Where we shoot coupled with the time of year when grass provides a natural blind, shots beyond 350 are a rarity. That is why the .308 accompanies us. ]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:20:50 MST Red Dog General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6575#6575 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6575#6575 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 10:13:41 MST HB General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6574#6574 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6574#6574
Tornado warnings and rain comparative to Asian monsoons terminated the fun. Even the Stampede in Calgary is somewhat soggier this year. ]]> Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:12:07 MST Red Dog General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6573#6573 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6573#6573 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 10:06:33 MST HB ~Suggestion Box http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6572#6572 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6572#6572 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 06:48:49 MST critrgetr Optics http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6571#6571 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re2.5?message=6571#6571
