No real crf requirement. I own or have owned about every major rifle out there. Rem, Begara, weatherby, savage, ruger. Current hunting rifle is a 700 cdl in .25-06. Love the rifle just hate setting out in the rain and snow with it. Having never owned a model 70 it caught my eye. But just like...

This might change my plans. Not interested in shooting factory ammo. I knew there was little in the way of aftermarket stuff. As I was looking for a hunting rifle I wasn’t to concerned about that. Would there be any advantage of going with a M70 and face a rebarrel over going 700 and doing the...

Hopefully I can get lucky and find one with a good barrel.

After selling my Remington 5r .300 wm, because it was too heavy to lug around the woods and hills. And I didn’t really care for it. I’m looking to get a new hunting rifle. Anyone have any experience and/or opinions on current production model 70’s? I have always been more of a rem 700 action...

I honestly believe that In current times, people who choose to use an opioid should fully know the possible consequences. I have seen what used to be a close friend “try” heroin. Become a full on addict. Get locked up, go to treatment and get clean. Then two weeks later OD and start the process...

I love lever guns. My favorite is a Chiappa 1886 carbine chambered in .45-70. Followed by a navy arms (Rossi) 92 in .44-40. But very hard to find .44-40. All my saa are .45 colt. I like to keep it historically accurate I guess. The local gun shop has an original 1873 in 38-40 that I’ve been...

I quit for almost 2 years. Wanted it just as bad the day I started back as the day I quit. Mostly situational things that made it the hardest. Shooting a rifle, welding at work, fishing, setting in the tree stand, drinking the first cup of coffee in the morning.

Have 5 loads on my current federal gmm .308. Not by any means the greatest but no issues so far. Been using fed 210m primers and have not gotten loose pockets yet. Have heard people having issues and some say it’s fine.

Just told my wife I didn’t snipers hide was up

Congratulations!

Yeah I’m not going to spend $1800 on a savage. That’s just all I can find close to me at the moment, central KY area.

I agree with everything said. My daughters “all three of them” have been hunting and shooting with me since they were big enough to do so safely. My middle daughter has taken more interest in rifles than the oldest who would rather wing shoot. I would love to share a rifle with her, but seeing...
