  1. Just on my first of 5 days off. Tomorrow I'm off with the rifle just in case lots of bone, and the 20 gauge to try and get some grouse.
  2. Checking in huddling with the wife, can you believe it the white stuff hit us but it will be gone in a couple days as usual. Alberta, wait 24 hours weather will change.
  3. Working for another week then the ruffed grouse are going to get placed in the freezer. Imitating the duck commander starting October.
  4. I'll be having fun playing Duck Commander until late October need birds in freezer too.
  5. Went to the range, well everything went well for the first 6 then groups started opening up. Cleaned not help, then remembered that where i got scope mounted they tried to do me a favour and put conditioner on the stock, they never retorqued screws properly, man was i p oed.
  6. Back the work for 13 days for me, worth it though 5 days off trying to swing it so i have Sept 15 off for 5 first week of Elk season.
  7. Range session would have went better if i didnt forget the ammo for the 06 at home all i took was my 6.5 ammo, both rifles came along only shot the 6.5 . Thats ok tried that imr 4451 behind 123 sst's sent them out very accurately it was a toss up between h 4350 and 4451.
  8. Model 85 Sako Bavarian 30-06 with a Monarch 5 2-10x50 with advanced bdc.
  9. Wayne, 55, im your huckleberry Alberta, rifle, Sept 15 - Nov 30
  10. Off to the range to burn some powder tomorrow bought box of rem 165 core lokt hope shes a shooter will keep y'all posted, but first clean barrel so it doesn't add fouling if any.
  11. Let you know soon russelon, take the cleaning kit to the range and run the barrel in. Just mounted a Monarch 5 on it 2.5-10x50. We'll see tonight how it is for gathering.
  12. Well I'm late again, smoothing thing over with the wife she freaked out when she seen the sales receipt for the new rifle and scope. By the way put a 2.5 - 10 x50 Monarch 5, I am just hoping it will be a good light gatherer for those right at legal hunting time morning and night.
  13. Heck a few years ago it was just booming here, now just barely any activity sure do miss the good ole days here.
  14. A little late but still here. Here a pic, took it today.
  15. I would say yes it is, the Vangaurd is made by Howa . They are good rifles for the price you pay, Weatherby does there thing to them and they a little.more accurate than the Howa. Overall they are worth worth buying and putting in your gunsafe.
  16. You bet will give them a try. The 30-06 is supposed to be very accurate caliber.
  17. I had a break down so im back home here is a couple pics.
  18. I posted this the day before went back to work . Dont get your shirt in a knot they are coming when I get back home in about 12 days.
