    Pleasantly surprised by this FAT BASTARD

    I have one on a 338LM also and works very well. In the field I am not forced to use ear plugs. Just a hat when in a hurry.

    Hunting & Fishing So... Why the **** do you want to take a head shot? "GRAY MATTER" HD Video

    The pelt is worth money if you shoot them in the head. You should be able to find a local trapper if you do not want to mess with pelt. The trapper will want head shots and winter coat.

    Can't locate a 700-5R 308, other 700 options?

    A used 5R 308 should not be that hard to find. See them in the for sale area often enough.

    Gunsmithing How to clean a trigger

    Re: How to clean a trigger I got some Zippo, already had some brake cleaner, 3-1 oil, acetone... I tried Zippo first as it has the most votes. It worked great but not fully back to original performance. I let sit for a day and then the trigger just locked up after firing. I had to remove the...

    Gunsmithing How to clean a trigger

    Can anyone advise on how to clean a trigger? Specifically I know how to remove a TRG trigger but it is one nice package that is not obvious to me how to clean. It is best left to a gunsmith, can I use a solvent, can I put any gun oil on it. thanks

    Hunting & Fishing First Buck My Son had to Work For

    This is the first buck my son had to work for. We spotted him at 1300 Yds and while we were thinking about using the TRG or making the 5 mile stalk he bedded down out of sight and made the choice for us. It took 12 hours to walk around and come down on top, shoot, bone, and pack it back to...

    Hunting & Fishing Optic power to hunt at 800 yds

    Re: Optic power to hunt at 800 yds I have several scopes I can choose from... There is no problem shooting 5.5x22 if the animal is standing. Moving may be a problem but so will my 3x12. For me I always shoot better with a rest and big glass. I always choose the 6x24 or 5.5x22 over my 3x12. I...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting 308 round

    Re: Hunting 308 round If your shooting close range (<100 Yds, maybe even 200 yds) then unlikely to matter. Try a bunch and use whatever works. If you try to stretch out you may find that only certain factory loads can still get the job done. I keep some SGK and TSX for close up work but for...

    How's this TRG 42 deal?

    Re: How's this TRG 42 deal? I paid $2400 on this forum with custom barrel. But I think your bi-pod trumps my deal.

    Gunsmithing TRG-42 Trigger Problem

    I have never taken apart my TRG-42 trigger because I have never had an issue with it. However it currently no longer has the two stage working. Just one pull and never know when it will break. I am in a hurry and was curious is it more likely a screw came loose, the trigger is dirty, or do they...

    Rifle Scopes What bases and rings for a hunting rifle?

    Re: What bases and rings for a hunting rifle? I am big fan of NightForce unimount. Easy to put the same scope on all my rails, turn the knobs and right on with no sight in. Completely repeatable. I am putting a direct mount on my hunting rig this weekend so do not have any time using it yet...

    Rifle Scopes What actually makes rings "good".

    Re: What actually makes rings "good". I have always purchased from the high end and used by other as I did not one to be the tester. I have never had issues with any of the top end vendors. That said I am now exclusively using NightForce unimount on anything with rails and the direct mount...

    Hunting & Fishing New hunting rifle zero pros/cons

    Re: New hunting rifle zero pros/cons averages can work to 3-400 yards and after that you better have a baseline and adjust accordingly. Example: It is possible to sight in for 300 yards and hold over at 400 yards. It is easier to get a ballistic scope. But even at short distances you still...
