    How many on Hide use their precision rifle for...

    Re: How many on Hide use their precision rifle for... I use target/comp mostly as training for hunting. Improves confidence and quickness at shorter ranges, and accuracy at longer ones. That way I can think more about the non-shooting part of hunting. Yes, I only carry heavy rifles. On a...

    accuracy of savage rifles???

    Re: accuracy of savage rifles??? Very good precision (repeatability) for the price. With those calibers noted for being inherently 'accurate', at least.

    20" 300WM with a can? Why not? **Chrono update**

    Re: 20" 300WM with a can? Why not? Been shooting the 300 for 25 years in one sort of Browning or another and think any barrel less than 24-25 inches is a bad idea. 20 or 22 inches is insane. This ain't a 308. In order to get decent/typical MV (say 2900-3000fps) you'd typically be using a...

    300. win mag experiences!!

    Re: 300. win mag experiences!! A 180-gn bullet works best and is typically used in the 300wm. Haven't used anything else in that cartridge for years. 76gn RL22 works fine with the BOSS adjusted to the standard recommended setting for that setup. It's a good all-round cartridge for our...

    Advanced Marksmanship # of shots between cleaning ?

    Re: # of shots between cleaning ? Isn't the point of cleaning to reduce irregularities on the barrel's inner surface? (As well as chemical stabilization in chrome-moly steel, etc). A buildup of copper, carbon, lead or other crap in the barrel which would change the effective diameter...

    Range Report What cartridge has the best ballistics...?

    Re: What cartridge has the best ballistics...? Seems to be a lot of lousy answers so far. Largely confusing 'cartridge' with 'bullet', and just dumping out a few favourite or familiar names. I'd roll your definition into attaining highest consistency and best accuracy using optimal bullets...

    Hunting & Fishing Wondering about Max cal size for hunting.

    Re: Wondering about Max cal size for hunting. You can't use hearing protection when hunting, because hearing and sight are the two main senses you use to detect game. When a shot is fired, you will get some temporary ringing and deafness that will take several minutes to 'go away'. But if...

    Hunting & Fishing Want input on long range bolt hunt rifle

    Re: Want input on long range bolt hunt rifle 7mm mag would be a very good all-round choice. Don't go too light on the rifle - better to invest in a bit of exercise and conditioning instead. A heavier, shorter high-grade barrel (maybe 24 inches, but not less) would be best. Practise with...

    Hunting & Fishing pronghorn rifle.

    Re: pronghorn rifle. A 7mm or 300 with lighter bullets would be just fine. Those are made to reach out and touch something at greater distances. If you want to downsize a bit for a pure antelope, coyote, small deer and hog rifle, this might be the perfect reason to set up a 6.5-284 custom...

    Advanced Marksmanship Harris bipod in snow?

    Re: Harris bipod in snow? For most kinds of terrain outside of golf courses and wind-packed deserts, a shooting stick tripod is more useful than a stock-attached bipod. The tripod adjusts quickly between high kneeling and prone height, and is useful on steep, uneven, slippery, soft, rocky or...
