    What brake for 300 win mag? Badger FTE?

    Is the Fat Bastard a little bit of an overkill for a 300WM? I dropped off my 300WM and Fat Bastard yesterday at my local gunsmith, and they called me today to suggest I install a Little Bastard instead...Which they have in stock and will credit me the difference.

    Gunsmithing Muzzle Brake Question...Yes, Another Muzzle Brake Question

    I have read about shims between the brake and the barrel. Would that be necessary or just snug it down. I ordered the Fat Bastard brake.

    .284 Win Ammo

    I have a coworker with a lever action .284 Win. He is having one heck of a time trying to find ammo for that thing. Any ideas??? We are located in Arizona but I'm sure he'll be willing to order some from just about anywhere.

    Newbie Checking In From Arizona

    Well I got my new Remington 700. After seeing pictures online of the model 85541, I had to have one. Picked it up from the local FFL on Tuesday. Wednesday bedded the Weaver rail. Today torqued everything down. And Saturday will be at Ben Avery getting it dialed in.

    Newbie Checking In From Arizona

    A newbie here, checking in from Arizona. I've had my share of semiauto handguns and always loved going to the ranges or out in the desert to enjoy shooting. I always wanted to get into long distance shooting and my dad just gave me a left handed Ruger M77 Mark 2. Well 2 trips to the range...
