Me, my Seekins 260 in the local paper(2007)
« on: July 29, 2012, 10:46:10 PM »
Found this paper while cleaning a spare room. Thought I'd share 8)
Back in 2007 the local paper came to me wanting to do a write up on long range shooting.
I rounded up a couple of the better shooters in the valley and we had some fun.
At the time I was shooting a rifle Glen built on a Remington action, in 260 Rem,  shooting 142 MK's.
 It is the first  of a few articals the local paper has done on the shooting sports.

Very Interesting--I've done some SCUBA diving with the photographer, Mike Bonnicksen.  Knew his dad, too.  And Jim Findlay is a living legend in the shooting sports around here.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

Geez--I just post that I recognized a couple of names in an old news article, and I start a war!   The quote from POGO was right.  "We have met the enemy, and they are us!"  :chuckle:  :chuckle:

The only part of the Wenatchee World worth reading is the Obituary Column, and I'm getting tired of seeing names I recognize.  I find it's a whole lot easier to just ignore people I don't like.  Saves a lot of stress.   :chuckle:  :chuckle:

PAC-Nor makes a good barrel, years ago had them do a heavy .308 Baer for me. What bullet are you going to run?

139 Scenars, or 140 Bergers whichever shoots better.. I went 6.5/06 AI, I know, don't flip me too much schitt! Ya ever kill anything with scenars?

Both are good bullets, I've only shot Scenars on paper with .300 Win Mags and they performed well. 6.5-06 AI is a way cool cartridge. 8)

I'm going to say this one time in this topic. This forum will not tolerate unaggravated personal attacks of the level that I just deleted. If you don't agree with something that's fine, go ahead and debate the subject, but at least keep your posts respectable or go somewhere else. PLEASE, let's act like adults here. If I have to clean this up again I will be handing out some temporary bans to whomever crosses the line.
