Re: Winchester Model 70, whats wrong with them? The only reasons I bought a 700 is because any competent 'smith should be able to work on them and because they are less expensive to begin with. Now that I have a 700 my next rifle will be an M70 sporter in 30-06 and the rifle following that...

Re: German 8MM Mauser buy.? Post some pictures!!! I know I'm not the only one who loves old Mausers and I know these guys can tell you a hell of a lot about your rifle from just seeing some pictures. -Dylan

Re: Son's black coyote If you do get it mounted, make sure to use someone who does coyote's often. I haven't seen too many coyote mounts come out too well... but maybe that's for lack of trying. Regardless, that kill is well worth getting a good mount done up.

Re: "Best 30-06" currently made? With a $1600 budget on the rifle alone, I'd be really tempted to buy a Winchester M70 Sporter and have a qualified 'smith true the action and screw on a custom barrel with the contour & length of your choosing. That would be one hell of a fine hunting rifle...

Re: which Vortex? I've actually been debating this very issue with myself in the last week. It's time for me to move on from my fixed 10 power and I want FFP. So for me it's down to a 4-16x/6-24x PST or the Razor HD 5-20. I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend twice the money on the Razor... but...

Re: So, for a dedicated Coyote gun... Thank you for your reply Gabe, and welcome to the 'Hide! Could you go into more detail as to how you go about hunting yotes? The vast majority of hunters that I know of creep to a stand and sit tight while calling. But from your description I'm picturing...

As the title states, I'm looking for alternatives to Varget for 308 loads using Winchester brass, CCI #200 (also have some #BR2 and some Fed 210M), and Lapua 155 Scenars. As I'm sure you all are well aware, it's a real pain in the ass to get a hold of powder right now... especially Varget it...

Re: So, for a dedicated Coyote gun... Seems like Lapua and Berger are your go-to coyote pills. I ran some ballistics on a few loads that I'd imagine would work well for coyotes and I'm really not seeing that much of an advantage in favor of the flatter calibers. Don't get me wrong, I see the...

Re: So, for a dedicated Coyote gun... Probably no heavier than 10-12lbs all said and done. What bullets are/were you using in each of those calibers?

Re: So, for a dedicated Coyote gun... Pat, do you think that the 260 is the way to go for a dedicated coyote rifle, or would you go with something else?
