I acquired a Sako 300WBY from my late FIL. I have it in a McMillan stock and had a brake put on it because it was a monster to fire. Before the brake, I never shot a decent group because it was hard to shoot off the bench. Now that it has a brake, it is very easy to shoot but I can't get it...
I have a Remington 700 Mountain rifle that was my dad bought. I have tried so many combos of powder and bullets but I can't get it to shoot better than 1.25-1.5" groups. I would like to put a new 30-06 barrel on it. I would also like to keep it similar to the original contour and length...
My hope is to have my 338-06 back soon after Christmas. I have never used the TTSX bullet and am wondering what one you recommend. The 210gr at 2700fps or the 185gr at 2900. The goal will be to deer and maybe elk and moose with the rifle. 400 yards would be the max distance on elk and moose and...
I'm looking reboring at 30-06 to 338-06. I'm in the process of bullet research for deer hunting. One of the goals is to use a new bullet so that takes off the partition, accubond, balistic tip, eldx, and hot cor off the table. I'm thinking something in the 200-225gr range. What are thoughts...
I'm very close to getting a call from the local sports shop that a Henry case hardened 45-70 is in. I've wanted one for years and I'm really close to making the investment. My goal is to deer hunt here in WI with it and maybe use it for bears when I draw a tag.
I will load my own ammo and...
I shot my dads 25-06 Tikka yesterday and had a few misfires that I had to shoot again to fire. After looking at the fired rounds most just have a small dent in the primer. This lot of primers has never had a issue in other rounds/guns. I'm guessing I need to break the bolt down and clean it...
I'm going on a mountain lion hunt at the end of the month. I have the layers of cloths under control, boots, gators, pack and rifle. Are there any items on a hunt like this that I guy forgets about? I have trekking poles and snowshoes as well. I'm going with an outfitter and plan to ask him...
My buddy has a Savage 30-06 that he is wiling to sell very cheap to me. I'm wondering if it is worth getting a prefit Criterion 22 Creed barrel and swapping it out? Would the Savage long action work with the 22CM? I'm not a huge Savage fan but for the price I can't pass this deal up. My goal...
I'm headed to CO in 2 weeks to hunt antelope. I have a decoy and know a few tricks but am always open to more ideas. I've heard that it is best to wait until you within 100-200 yards away before letting them see the decoy. Any other tips? I will be hunting with a muzzleloader on private land.
I want to buy a pair of ear buds that protect my ears and allow me to hear while turkey hunting and deer hunting. What do you recommend in the $100-300 range?
I have 3 different bullets on the bench for my new 7-08. I have 150 Partitions, 150 Ballistic Tips and 162 ELDX bullets. What would you pick for a deer hunting round where shots will be 20-200 yards?
I might have a chance at hunting this combined unit on private ground. My two questions are: what are numbers like in this eastern edge of CO and can a guy draw a non-res muzzleloader tag on 0 points. Thanks
I'm attempting to put my NSS barrel on my 700 action but I'm only able to thread it into the action about 1/2" before it gets super tight. Are the thread specs do thight that I can't spin the barrel on without a vice normal?
I'm heading to CO after Christmas and want to start getting my gear purchased sooner rather than later. I have a pair of Crispi Colorado's, gators, good base layer and a few jackets for layering. I also have ice fishing bibs and a parka if needed for riding sleds. My question is pertaining to...
I have 2 Harris 1A2 Series bipods. When the legs are not extended they are 13" and 22" when extended. The bipod uses the front sling stud to attach to the rifle. These bipods are older but are in mint condition. I don't think they were ever used for hunting. I'm asking $75 shipped in the...
After thinking more about the 6mm Rem that I got from a buddy, the more I'm leaning towards rebarreling it to 7-08. I don't have a smaller 7mm round in the safe and think it would be a good one to have. I have most of the tools needed to do the job it if buy a prefit barrel from Northland...
