    Rifle Scopes 10x Rifle scope capabilities

    I shot this buck at 509y with a 308 and a fixed 10x. My mountain hunting rifles mostly wear 2-7x and 3-9x my desert killing rifles usually have higher magnification ranges but I still limit myself to 550 and in for the first shot. I have a smokeless muzzleloader that is using that same stock...

    SBR large game hunting

    338 federal is a pretty nice round also. If you reload 308 brass to 338f is one pass in a full length sizer and does decent in shorter barrels. I have a 16" that does 2450fps with a 200gr. Check out some of the specialty bolt pistol builds out there for some more ideas. If your going to...

    Rifle Scopes 10x Rifle scope capabilities

    I use a couple SWFA straight 10x pretty often here in the deserts of Wyoming for antelope and mule deer hunting. Be realistic about what your capable of and you'll be fine. I limit my shots to 550 and in most of the time and 10x is plenty for that. For shooting steel I have taken my 260 and a...

    That's what nickel is for.

    .338 Federal

    Most of my brass is just FC08 necked up. Brass is definitely not an issue. Proper headstamp if that matters to you might be but it's available once in awhile. I haven't played with it much but in a bolt action the 230gr eldx might be a very good option. It ends up being a touch long for my...

    .338 Federal

    308 to 338 is one pass in a full length die. I actually made a bunch of 338 federal brass from 280AI brass also. Chop it down, size in a full length die, trim to length, load and shoot. It's a scaled up version of making 300blk from 223. 338F has a lot of potential as a cartridge for killing...

    Razor LHT vs. Mark5HD for hunting

    I have a Razor LHT on my hunting rifle, for the money I really like it. I havent looked through the Mark5. I'd just pick the reticle you like more and go with that one.

    Fighting the AI

    I bought an AI last year and am very happy with it no regrets. I'm not a comp shooter, I have shot several AIs and always wanted one. If I had a bunch of Remington or Savage rifles taking up space I wouldn't extract some coin from them and move towards an AI. I don't think I would sell higher...

    Quality Junk Rifle... Kinda

    Point being PSA is decent for the money with room for improvement if wanted. The 308 barrel before I replaced it was about 2-2.5 moa with fmj ammo and around moa with better ammo.

    Quality Junk Rifle... Kinda

    I bought a PSA 308, swapped the barrel to a Wilson combat 338 federal and put a larue MBT2 in it. It's honestly a pretty decent rifle for what I have into it. Of course PSA has sales all the time, MBT2s are like $90 and if you want to upgrade the barrel Wilson Combat clearance sales are pretty...

    Safe clean outs - what when why?

    It seems like when I decide to sell one thing it'll snowball and I start cleaning out a lot of stuff. I have been considering moving a couple handguns and rifles that have become fairly valuable, the problem is when do I want to cash in the investment. I don't need the money currently so I'd...

    Hunting rifle

    I live in elk country, I have killed them with cartridges as small/weak as 6.8spc and as large/powerful as 338 Lapua. Lately I have been using a 6.5 Sherman Short mag shooting a 122gr PVA for all of my western big game. Putting a quality bullet where it matters is more important than caliber...

    Recommendations for a youth rifle

    My 8 year old took his first white tail this year on my uncle's place in Michigan. He was shooting a 16" 300blk. Given the nature of our trip we didn't have it suppressed like we do here in Wyoming. The first thing he said was wow that was loud....I completely forgot hearing protection for...

    223 vs 223AI for trainer and predators

    223AI is a great little round. I'd go that direction for sure. Do your practice with factory match ammo and have fire formed brass you can load for hunting. I had a 25" 223AI that would push a 69gr at almost 3400fps with cfe223.
