    Red Jacket

    Re: Red Jacket They can get any weapon type because we don’t live in a free country and we as the people allowed bills like the Brady Bill, Home Security Act and others to pass. We tolerate states banning a certain type of firearms which is a clear violation of the 2nd amendment as nation law...

    Red Jacket

    Re: Red Jacket I have mixed feelings about the show and yes some stuff they do might give gun owners a bad name like shooting and blowing up cars every show like a bunch of juveniles. But they also do some really good things on the show like bringing old war vets on there when they fire a...

    25-300win mag imp (The Big Nasty)

    Re: 25-300win mag imp (The Big Nasty) I do not know about the 25-300win but I know a guy with a 257-STW which is a little bigger and that is pushing 100gr Ballistic Tips at 3900fps + with a 28inch barrel. The rifle shoots great and he uses it for deer hunting and coyotes and it is very flat...

    5000 meters+ Supersonic (*Updated with pics*)

    Re: 5000 meters+ Supersonic I do not see what the issue is? If a person wants to design a cartridge that will perform like he has stated (at least on paper anyway) the last time I checked it is still America so he has every right to do so. Things like this take time and money with lots of...

    caliber potential, 7mm v .30

    Re: caliber potential, 7mm v .30 Either one will work and no you don't need anything bigger even out to 1000 yards with the right bullet you will be fine with either. The 7mm will shoot a little flatter and recoil less then the 300 win but both are very accurate.

    Range Report MOA drop mystery?

    Re: MOA drop mystery? That is some good reading thank you. I should clear something up this was the first time I shot this rifle at 300 yards to confirm it's zero. When I sighted the load in I sighted it for 3.1 inch's high at 100 yards then went straight out to 600 yards and started playing...

    Range Report MOA drop mystery?

    Re: MOA drop mystery? Scope height is 1.7 and I sighted it in at 100 yards the night before and shot early the next morning so the temp was within a degree or two. Not my first time shooting at 300 I have shot at the distance and beyond a lot. I was trying to figure out why I always had to...

    Range Report MOA drop mystery?

    I am having a MOA drop mystery with my 338 rum that I cannot figure out. I am shooting 1 to 1.5 MOA high at longer ranges then I should be. At first I thought it could be scope related but the scope checks out with tracking and holding zero. I took the rifle off the bench and sighted it in at in...

    Son's 16th birthday present: WTF do I do?

    Re: Son's 16th birthday present: WTF do I do? Offer to get him a new one and let him do the load work up for it that might work. If not it looks like you will be looking for a new 308 for yourself. The joys and pains of being a parent.

    Re: Gave my 338 Rum A Cerakote Job Thank you. My rifle is a sako M995 or TRG-S whatever you want to call it. The Elk is Duracoated along with the rest of the stock I cut a stencil for it by hand. The rifle was given to me by my dad and was a 300 win mag at that time. This is the rifle I used...

    338 edge, lapua or RUM?

    Re: 338 edge, lapua or RUM? I was in the same spot and after doing a lot of research I went with the 338 RUM. I am only giving up about 100fps to the edge or Lapua so it is not a huge deal. The only thing is the 338 rum brass is seasonal so when it come out buy a bunch of it.

I re coated my stock in Duracoat stone to clean up the scars from the hunting trips over the last 4 years. I also coated a Tikka T-3 lite with Cerakote...
