    looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

    Sweet baby Jebus the dude asked about a rifle. You all have decided that you need to vomit your opinion on everything from 223 for elk to sharp xxxxxx sticks. Elk can be killed by arrows. He even stated what caliber he wants to use cause he has primers and powder for it.

    looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

    With my hand loads I could get 3 round groups under a inch as the norm. That's all I expect out of a 8.5lbs rifle with a barrel that thin. Recoil was tolerable. Fit and finish was good. I want another but in something a little more.... unique. 7x57. 284. 6.5x55.

    looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

    Had a 2005ish m70 Featherweight in 300wsm. Lovely rifle. Never shot a group bigger than 1.5moa. Cycled smooth. Trigger was meh. 165 TTSX over h4350 was a hammer. The elk hunter who bought it loves it.

    Fn SPR stock availability

    LRI said they would inlet one for me 2 months ago. So this would be news to me. ETA- I didn't end up going with LRI because I decided to keep the mcmillian and have GAP rebuild and rebarrel the rifle.

    KRG Whiskey-3: Am I just too perfectionist?

    I agree it will not affect anything. Just put it together and shoot it. I'm shocked KRG didn't reach back out to you.

    KRG Whiskey-3: Am I just too perfectionist?

    What I worked on was a $50 internal aluminum bedding block. We machined the entire profile, machined the portion we held onto off then they went into a fixture and the action area was machined last and held to very tight tolerance. The forward section that extended to the sling swivel would be...

    KRG Whiskey-3: Am I just too perfectionist?

    Not top end by price. Features and adaptability are very high especially vs cost. The backbone is mostlike machined from a extrusion (after further review, these look to be machined from billet). Extrusions are never straight/square/ parallel/perpendicular. Combine that with the fact the...

    Best Sling Stud Bipod Money Can Buy?

    WTF are you guys doing to cause a sling stud to fail on a McMillian or Manners stock? Is this for PRS or general use?

    Wouldn't that just be a 250-3000 AI?

    Varget vs N140

    Looks like I can run 100fps faster than either with varget. Are the CIP loads on the soft side vs Hodgdon manual? ETA- sierra manual shows n140 and varget nearly identical with 175s but 150fps slower with 155smk. Doesn't even show N150.

    Rifle Scopes Is a Viper PST Gen 3 coming???

    I'd be happy for more valid competition in the $1300-$1700 range. Something to go head to head with the XRS3, MK5, XTR3. Vortex does have a gap there.

    Anyone ever see this?

    That's...... Something. Contact the barrel maker with images. They deserve to have a opinion.

    Big Magnum Revolver, what is just right?

    Disagree. I shoot full power loads every time I'm out shooting a big gun. Even if I'm by my self. You have to. Training to handle recoil requires recoil. And I do find it fun. The least fun hand gun I have ever shot is a 454 ruger super blackhawk hunter. The trigger guard smashed my middle...

    Big Magnum Revolver, what is just right?

    454 and 480 are kind of the line before you have to step into X frames and other cartoon guns(cause the look like cartoon bull$%/+). I also wish smith would make a N frame 454 or 475/480.

    Scope Recommendation

    I know what a mauser is. I also have a springfield. Neither have a slide. They have bolts and raceways. Words matter. Correct nomenclature matters. Using the wrong words makes people suspicious that you maybe deceitful. I truly hope no one would dishonor the people who have fought and...
