5 years ago or so Walmart was clearing out 700s for $79. I went down, asked the store manager for help, and he promptly said the last one was sold which I think it was sold to him lol. He scanned a Savage bolt gun of some sort in 7mm-08 for $48. I passed. Found out a week later Savage was...

Found a lefthanded rifle assembled by John Bergmann. Been putting it to good use with .570 roundballs and a 100 grains of Swiss ffg.

I'd start with a lefty Tikka T3. If it shoots like most, your done. Spend the savings on ammo, components or optics.

Had an 11-48 in 16 gauge for a while. Personally I'd keep an eye open for a barrel on ebay or any of the auction sites. Probably less than messing with the current one. Any IC or Mod choke would be excellent. I had 4" cut off a 1950s shotgun to add screw in chokes to and the barrel walls were so...

Congrats, nice looking deer there.

Thunderbeast has done all of mine. You'll be happy.

I think you have the perfect components for a very good hunting load. I'd be looking for accuracy between 2700 fps and somewhere around 2825 fps. Killed a lot of stuff with 180s doing 2800. Chopped barrel and still killing stuff with 155 scenars. Enjoy and good luck.

For me I use Mcmillan carbon game scouts and something around a Bartlein 2B at 18" or so for my hunting rigs. Finished weight around 9 pounds with scope is what I tend to go for. Hawkin bottom metal and aics mags.

Your research showed you need to dial up 10 moa of elevation or they actually only drop 10" at 300 yards? Seems like they'd drop more than that.

Search for Natchez Shooting Supply. I looked on ammoseek and there is a lot of 7mm PRC out there for good prices.

Cheap factory ammo at Natchez I see.

If I had an 8 or 8.5 twisted 7mm Rem Mag setup to shoot 180 scenars, I'd be set for .284 caliber. If not, I'd buy 7mm PRC and hope the Hornady factory stuff would run well.

The Berger ammunition with 135 hybrids is quite good. Assuming this is 6.5 creedmoor.

Chamber of Commerce and the GOP/Dem Uniparty is very happy.

It turns out if you import 20 million unskilled workers, the demand for unskilled workers drops along with the wages. Sort of like importing Pakistani and Indian engineers in droves. Do that enough and engineering pay flattens out. Laws of economics are rarely wrong.
