    Hunting & Fishing Binoculars for use with glasses

    I would suggest you call Doug @ Cameraland NY and talk to him about what you need. He will be able to recommend what might work best for you - I do know that since you have glasses you will want a bino with a bit more eye relief. Doug has some screaming deals going right now. One that might...

    McMillan Traditional Deluxe BDL Carbon Fiber Stock

    Ok, got it didn't think of the new McMillan MC3 line of stocks. And no no experience with these. They look OK, but if I'm going to spend any money on a replacement stock I'd like it to be lighter weight than the factory one, and these appear to be pretty heavy. The stock you mention weighs 45...

    McMillan Traditional Deluxe BDL Carbon Fiber Stock

    Are you talking about the BDL Edge stocks for a hunting rifle?? I've not used that one, I tend to use the Classic pattern in Edge which I really like for a hunting based rifle. The Classic or the Hunters Edge are the 2 I've used most, nice stocks.

    Tikka t3 lite for semi custom?

    +1 Since the OP stated this would also be a hunting rifle its hard not to like a Tikka. Shoot it as is or drop it in a stock to your liking and you are good to go. I have a Tikka Superlite 7-08 in a Hunters Edge stock and its a great hunting rig IMHO.

    4lbs, 12oz.

    That is pretty slick:) And in 7MM-08 which is the bestest for a hunting rig IMHO. Just wondering on the parts - model 700 action but what stock is that and barrel?? Must of shaved off a bunch of weight with that fluting??

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Contour?

    If you want to make your weight, I'd go no more than 2b which still might be tough depending on the stock you use. I have a model 700/2b/McMillan Edge stock build .243 that is also fluted and I'm at 6 lbs 5 ozs for the rifle only and thats with a ADL bottom metal.

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Contour?

    If that chart is correct, their contours are pretty beefy. Their #2 is like many other #3's and their #2 is about like a Brux or Lilja or Rock #3. Heck even their #1 is almost a #3 from say Brux or Mullerworks. If your trying to keep it pretty lightweight and not overly muzzle heavy I'd go no...

    Aftermarket trigger for hunting rifle

    Hard not to like the TriggerTech triggers especially in a hunting rig.

    Congrats - that looks awesome! Really like the way he textured the stock, really clean work!

    Tikka T3 or custom

    7 lbs 10 ozs with the stock pack, so yes probably right at 7.5 lbs bare rifle.

    Tikka T3 or custom

    Something like this?? Actually, many times McMillan will have the Hunters Edge in stock with a regular bottom metal fit.

    Tikka T3 or custom

    Another vote for the Tikka, not sure where you live but if you have Sportsmans Warehouse in your area they have the Tikka Superlite, basically a Tikka with a fluted barrel for that cool factor. I have one I dropped in a McMillan Hunters Edge and its become one of my favorite rifles, and I have...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith opinion on Titanium vs Steel action

    Have you considered a Barrett Fieldcraft?? They seem to have a great rep for being accurate and enough room in the mag box for loading long bullets without issues. Weigh just a little more than 5 lbs naked. I'm not a huge fan of the stock but its a lot of rifle for the $$$.

    Buy or Build Sub 7 pound hunting rifle?

    I'd also be looking at Proof Elevation rifle, they now have it in 300 Win Mag. BigHorn Origin action, Proof barrel, TriggerTech trigger and their stock. I've ha a chance to handle one in 6.5 Creed and it was a really nicely done rifle. I'll be ordering one in 7MM-08 soon. For the price its...

    Just got back from Wyoming antelope hunt yesterday afternoon. Had a great time this year - weather was about as nice as you could ask for. Got this buck the first evening of the hunt, always wanted one with horns that sort of pitch forward so this guy did, plus he had good height and decent...
