I'm thinking I'd like to go next year
« on: May 01, 2009, 03:52:38 PM »
I've thought I would like to go next year. My question is can you shoot other rifles that aren't NEF such as a 220 swift in a Ruger 77. Just got a 223 bull barrel in NEF. Also have 225win and 243.  Zeak

Yes you can shoot other guns you just need to make sure one is a H&R. Kurt

You will be surprised if you make it to the shoot,there's probably more bolts and AR 15"s than Handi's.  Digger

Lordy me no fellow. I use only my super highly modified NEFs. Of course some of them look a lot like Remington Model Seven's and Model 700s and such but that's only cuz they are so highly modified.  ;D

Actually ya have to look hard to find an NEF out there. I took my H&R .30-30 to the first shoot just to say I had one and when the folks started pulling out their rifles at Dan's that first afternoon I had to look long and hard to find anyone with an NEF. You'll see one from time to time but not often really.

This time I'll have a pair of Remington Model Seven Predators in .17 Fireball and .223 and a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in .22-250. I doubt I'll bother with any others, might but doubt it. Heck last year all I shot were the Predator .17 Fireball and the .22-250 anyway.

Got a new 22 K- Hornet barrel for my contender.  With 34 Gr. Midway dogtown bullets, it ought to make those PD go splat, gone! ;D ;D

I was hoping to bring a stubbed 22K Hornet along with me. I still do not have it back yet so it will be too late for me to fire form cases and develop a load for it. I am going to be bring along 2 modified Stevens 200's in 223 one that is set up for 40 grain V-Max bullets and the other for 50 grain V Max bullets. I am going to bring along a modified 17 HMR Model 77/17 Ruger for short shots up to 150 - 175 yards if the wind is not howling too bad.
