    2 gun do-all battery suggestions?

    This is a tough one as I like all of the rifles in my toolbox. If I had to absolutely choose just two centerfire rifles to cover hunting almost everything on the planet I would choose a 7mm-08 and a 300WinMag. These two cartridges are plentiful in every store in the US and when we had that...

    Unfired Win Model 70 Super Shadow in 270 WSM - What's the value?

    There’s been one (exact model and caliber) for sale locally (Southern California) going on three years at $575 with no hits. It’s an odd ball cartridge that had potential but never really took off. In today’s stores loaded ammo is expensive and not commonly stocked. Most people will just...

    Copper Bullet questions, as I make the switch

    It is most likely different material composition as to the bearing cuts, it could also be that Barnes patented them too. Any way you slice it I have loaded mono bullets by weight only. If it’s 120 grain I’ll go through all of my books and online charts to see which powder ( that I have in hand)...

    Savage Model 12

    My buddy has a model 12 in .308 Win. Stainless. It has a much tighter chamber/throat compared to my Rem 700P. With some good handloads you can easily hit out to 1100 yards using 175gr SMK and IMR 4064 going 2620fps. On a good day (it’s all the shooter not the gun)he can consitantly do 3/8”...

    Leupold - CDS *IF YOU ORDERED RECENTLY YOU NEED TO READ THIS*

    Temperature can change impact minimally at 600, it is most likely the pressure that changed. It’s one of the reasons why I started imputing density altitude measurements into my ballistic calculator. It takes in account elevation, temp, humidity, barometric pressure and spits out a single DA...

    Leupold - CDS *IF YOU ORDERED RECENTLY YOU NEED TO READ THIS*

    I was wondering about this when I bought a “cds” scope. I looked at the info card with all the info that you send into leupold. My first thought was that my elevation changes a lot where I’ll be using this rifle as well as barometric pressure and humidity. I’d have to have 20 different dials...

    gun or scope

    I’m pretty anal when it comes to my optics. I use torx screws on everything, they are not prone to camming out and with that torque down consistently. I also clean out the screw holes with iso alcohol and use a dab of blue thread locker. I try to use a dual dovetail base when possible to...

    AZ bonus point field day class question

    Those of you that have taken the class, what’s all involved? do you need to bring any equipment? If you do, what? I’ve read the web sight and left the required messages but haven’t gotten any response. Just want to show up prepared. Thanks.

    Who uses an AR style rifle for hunting?

    They do for the large body cartridges. But a 10 rounder is a flush fit magazine. I put a piece of wood in there to block it for five rounds just like you would for a shotgun. Haven’t had an issue yet, although I have gotten the “ look at that yahoo” type of looks. Doesn’t bother me cause I’m...

    Who uses an AR style rifle for hunting?

    The AR platform is a great platform, lightweight, ergonomic, and adaptable for many different users or amount of clothing. The greatest benefit is it is capable of many different chamberings while using the same lower. Personally I’ve used mine on many deer and antelope hunts, the two...

    Does anybody hunt larger game with a 25-06?

    I love my quarter bore 257 WBY and the 25-06 is only 100-125 FPS slower. Now the only problem with the .257 bullets is their B.C. is that of a barn. Sure it’s a flat shooter but after 300 yards it literally hemorrhage’s speed and energy especially with 100gr bullets. With the 120’s it’s a bit...
