    .300win, wthby or ultra?

    Re: .300win, wthby or ultra? Go win or Rum. All 3 are longrange and closerange elk pounding machines. You really can't go wrong with either, but don't think the win can keep up with the rum. It can't, but the added performance comes at a price-powder, recoil, barrel life, etc... Don't...

    Low Round Count Rifles for Sale

    Re: Low Round Count Rifles for Sale Ha! I've often thought that myself. I'm the same way. I very rarely go shooting without putting a bunch of rounds through the tube. I'm doing my part keeping the powder, primer, and bullet companies in the black.

    Custom Barrel/build

    I'm getting ready to put together a new longrange rifle, and haven't decided on a smith yet. It's a semi budget build. I have the stock (new bell and carlson m40, jewel trigger, and Remington 700 action). Here's my question. It seems like several of the custom barrel makers offer putting it...

    Hunting & Fishing 6.5mm 130 Hunting VLD's for elk

    Re: 6.5mm 130 Hunting VLD's for elk I realize this is an old post. I picked up some 6.5 140 nosler accubonds, but haven't used them yet. Seems like they should be the bomb for 6.5 hunting.

    Custom Build vs. Pre-Setup Rifles

    Re: Custom Build vs. Pre-Setup Rifles Buy the gun and shoot it. My guess is that it'll shoot pretty good right out of the box. Mine does!

    Gunsmithing Loose Studs!!!

    So, what's the best way to keep sling studs from coming loose? I've tried small washers that help, but can mark the stock. I've tried loctite with mixed results. I hate twisted slings and loose studs! I have one stock with flushcups but never use a sling on it anyways.

    Hunting & Fishing Elk Crossing

    Re: Elk Crossing Very cool pics. I live about an hour from Evanston. That is some cold windy country in the winter. More than likely they're Utah bulls off of the huge and infamous Deseret Ranch. I wonder how that fence looked when they were done crossing....

    Hart Rifles?

    Re: Hart Rifles? Thanks. I have the opportunity to buy one in 300rsaum with a mcmillan stock. It sounds like Hart did all of the work. I've heard about them for years, but I don't know much about them.

    Hunting & Fishing All around caliber

    Thought it'd be intresting to hear what your favorite all around big game hunting caliber is and why. I'm a fan of the big 30's shooting heavy bullets-180+. I'd have to say the 300rum is probably at the top of the list. I know it's a powder eating, shoulder thumping, loud SOB, but it sure packs...

    rem 700 cdl sf?

    Re: rem 700 cdl sf? Maybe it's just me but what makes a cdl a cool rifle is the purdy wood stock. If you're gonna replace it, I agree with a stainless sps and have a smith flute it. Have him replace the pos trigger while he's at it. I sure love to see them do a stainless in 260 1/8 twist...

    7mm wsm Owners?

    So, I'm having a tough time making up my mind on a new longrange hunting rifle. I'll admit I'm probably making things more difficult than they really are. I have a safe full of rifles from 17hmr on up to 338rum. I think I'm getting it narrowed down to gap nontypical in 7mm wsm, 300 wsm, or 300...

    Range Report 180 Berger velocity

    Re: 180 Berger velocity 338 lapua to a 7mm? I bet that'd be a hot mess. If I go the tejas route I doubt i'd shoot it much after getting it sighted it in and a load worked up. Hopefully get a few years worth of hunting out of the barrel.
