I love it when good gear gets put to work.

Im going to drag this out a few days. But this off the shelf Seekins Precision 7mm Re*****on mag got put absolutely solidly to work in Africa a last week.

Its been one of the joys of my life to make a life out of watching and helping shooters grow.

Especially this one.

My son has been playing at 1,000 yards with an old Ma**er he’s turning into his hunting rifle for this fall. He dug around the shop, found some brass and bullets, and worked up his own load, then took it to the big steel to see what it would really do.

Rifle specs:
- 30‑06
- JP Sauer military K98 Ma**er 1940s ish
- Shilen 10‑twist sporter barrel
- Custom wood stock from RiverView Rifle Works
- Bold trigger
- Timney firing pin spring
- Leupold VX-6 3-18×50 TMOA reticle.
- Custom picatinny rail 20moa
- Talley 30mm MSR rings

Ammo specs (his recipe):
- Lake City Match brass, 1969 headstamp
- IMR 4451 powder
- Hornady 178 ELD‑M
- CCI BR2 primers

The rifle and load combo are tracking nicely at 1,000 and should make him a very capable hunting rig when the weather turns cold again. More important to me than the distance is that he did the work himself – from digging components off the shelf to building the ammo and sending it on target.

Please welcome our newest member of the 1,000‑yard club.

He reached out to me here on Facebook on a thread about Christensen Arms accuracy issues. Instead of shipping the rifle off and waiting months, and maybe not being fixed after that. He brought it by the shop and I was able to sort out the problems and get it shooting the way it should while he waited. Since he was already here, we fed it some good ammo, stretched its legs, and punched steel at 1,000 yards.

Always fun turning a “problem rifle” into a 1,000‑yard rifle and watching somebody check that box for the first time.

Been an interesting few days in the chaos laboratory…

All the stuff I hate dealing with decided to show up at once.

Stoopid credit‑card goblins helped themselves to about $1,800 on eBay and six gaming laptops on Amazon. Apparently my alter ego is a teenage Twitch streamer.

Stoopid rifles that should go *pew* going “meh” instead.

Stoopid warranty departments reading straight from the “not our problem” script.

Stoopid new popsicle sticks for bedding. I miss my old ones. These feel like they came from the kindergarten craft bin.

Stoopid Marine‑Tex. So. Much. Marine‑Tex. Currently out of sticky tape, release agent, and goodwill toward man.

Bench looks like this… and that’s the stuff I got into after lunch.

How’s your week going – you winning, losing, or in “hold my beer and watch this” mode?

Dillon dropped by the shop yesterday for some fresh ammo and a rezero after we mounted the new can, we got for his rifle. Judging by tonight’s hog report, everything seems to be working exactly the way it’s supposed to. Always cool to see the whole setup doing its job in the woods, not just on the bench.
