Rex M Rugers #6621

I have heard of putting mercury in the bore and swishing it back and forth , or filling the bore and let it set for a while to clean out lead deposits. This seemed to be fairly common a generation or two ago. Never heard of shooting it though !!! Rex

Thanks for asking. Rex

Cassalong Hopidy , I have no clue as to model on the Remington , other than Varmint model. I looked on the Remington website and also in GunBroker , and did not see one with this same camo pattern. I confess to not being fluent in Remington 700 variations. I was hoping the pictures would help. The Vortex is easy , I still have the box. It is a Viper , 6.5-20 X 44 , 30mm tube , with side focus parallax adjustment , Mil Dot (moa). The model number on the box end says VPR-M-05MD. Thanks , Rex

Back in that time-frame they offered a version called the "Light Weight" or something similar. Had a slimmer forend and 20 or 22 inch barrel. Not to be confused with "Featherweight" which had a cheekpiece and schnabel forend. And cost more. Good find. Rex

I remember Havre , I was living there in 1974 when they had the reported low for the nation at -42. I don't remember exactly the month ,probably Jan. or Feb. Oddly enough , a few years later , in Feb of 1979 , here in Vernal we had the reported low in the nation one day , it was also -42. Rex

I already have a Traeger , and am wondering when the change-over downfall happened. No way I can afford to chunk it and get something else , just wondering if it is in the lower quality time frame. It hasn't given me any trouble yet , so maybe I got lucky. That would be a switch. Rex

Re-worded ad to put trade as first choice. Rex

Replied. Thanks for looking. Rex

Big Sage and Utah Bob , that sounds pretty harsh. Back when I used to shoot at Cortez , I remember shooting at 4 different places. Although one of them was a kind of annual that Mancos put on at the fairgrounds , and maybe shouldn't count , a one-time thing. I would have thought the club was pretty safe at the present range. Whodathunkit Good luck , Rex

No matter the song , if I am thinking the words , I also have the melody going in my head. Anyway , I thought Merengue was on Lemon Pie. Rex

I prefer the pistol grip , just because. Feels better to me , plus , I like the looks. Rex

I wish I knew how to slo-mo that sequence and study his technique(like it would do me any good). It goes so fast I my old eyes can't follow the individual shots. Well except for the 4 shotgun rounds. Astounded , Rex

I have lived in dry climates most of my life , but haven't had this happen in about 50 years of handloading. Not saying it won't , just hasn't happened to me ,..... yet. Rex

That isn't why at all. They developed the larger , longer frame to use longer , more powerful cartridges. It was still a toggle-link action. Rex P.S. Plus one on Colorado Coffinmaker's post above.
