    Hunting & Fishing “Need” a new hunting rifle – Deer & Elk

    I just bought a Tikka T3 Light Stainless in 270 Win and I like it a lot. I was looking for a rifle with almost the same specs as you and settled on the 270. There are not many shelf rifles chambered in 6.5 calibers other than Savage and if you compare without bias, the 270 will do everything a...

    Hunting & Fishing 300 WSM recoil in light rifle?

    Thinking of purchasing a Browning X-bolt in 300 WSM. However I am a little concerned the recoil might be a bit much in the light rifle. Anybody shooting a 300 WSM in a light rifle? Is it managable without a break? I hunt deer and elk every year here in UT and I was thinking this might be a good...

    7mm 162 A-max sensetive to jump?

    How sensetive are the 162 A-maxs to jump in your guys experience? I want to use them in a Remington 7mm-08 but it has a long throat. I could not get them close to the lands and still have them fit in the mag. Am I wasting my money to try them with a long throat? Thanks Bob

    Anybody have a Remington SPS Varmint in 7mm-08?

    I found one of these I might purchase and I was curious how they shoot. I would want to run 162 A-maxs. Do these rifle have the same long throat issue like the 308 rifles? If anybody has any expirience I would appreciate you comments. Thanks Bob

    Suppressors Suppressor on a sporter weight barrel?

    Re: Suppressor on a sporter weight barrel? I am not sure what the barrel diameter will be as I have not purchased the rifle yet. I am wanting a light hunting rifle but would like to still hunt with my supressor. How thick does the barrel have to be to thread? My supressor is is cut 5/8x24.

    Suppressors Suppressor on a sporter weight barrel?

    Will a suppressor effect accuracy of a spoter weight barrel? I have SAS 308 supressor and I am thinking of purchasing a Tikka huting rifle in 300 WSM. But I was worried that installing the suppressor on the lighter barrel might have a negative effect on accuracy. Is anybody running anyhting...

    Budget Precision hunting rifle?

    I am looking for a good hunting rifle and I have my eye on a Weatherby Vanguard S2 in 300 WSM. I have two questions though. First given the choice between a Weatherby and a Remington SPS which would you choose? I would upgrade the stock to a B&C stock on either but which would be the more...

    Ruger Mini 30 opinions or other 7.62x39?

    I am looking for a good reliable rifle in 7.62x39. Has anybody had any expirience with the Mini 30? I had a Mini 14 and it wasn't very accurate but it seemed pretty reliable. From what I gather the newer models with tapered barrels are better than the old ones. Is there a much better option for...

    Re: Form 4 wait time I ordered a SAS can as well but Mile High had one in stock to ship. If I would have known it would be such a joke getting everyhting done I would have spent the money on something else.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Re: Form 4 wait time I finally got my paperwork sent off on 06/19/2012. It took 12 weeks to get my suppressor from Mile High in CO to my dealer here in UT. I was told approximately 7 months for approval. I hope it's worth the wait and the headache.

    Re: Help me analyze this target! (178gr HPBT w/Varget) Tried the 178s in my SPS Tac yesterday. Disappointed to say the least. I really wanted to make them work but, due to the looong throat and lack of mag length they won't work. Does anybody have any other suggestions to use these in a...
