    Hunting & Fishing Building MY perfect hunting rifle...

    Re: Building MY perfect hunting rifle... Everyone has to start some time. Looks good. I did a lot of of the same to a Left Handed Tikka T3 Stainless in 308. Added larger bolt handle, metal bolt shroud, had the action Cera Coated and I painted the stock. It only required minimal bedding...

    Hunting & Fishing 7WSM 180 Berger takes down two Grizzlies and More!

    Re: 7WSM 180 Berger takes down two Grizzlies and More! Switched to the 6.5 130 VLD Hunting bullets this year for my pronghorn and deer hunting. Work as advertised! I use the Target VLDs in my 6.5 target rifle and practice all summer at out to 1000 for fun. It's nice to shoot a hunting...

    Hunting & Fishing First Speed Goat

    Re: First Speed Goat Wow, great pronghorn and story on the rifle. My favorite North AMerican hunt. The spotting and stalking these critters can be a real challenge. Getting busted by those great eyes of theirs is frustrating, but fun.

    Hunting & Fishing Hog Hunting Help

    Re: Hog Hunting Help The '06 will do great on them. I've used my .308 & 9.3x62 on several over a few hunts in TX. That was the hammer of Thor on them. Now the idea of a tanker M1 Garand is very interesting. Especially modified to accept detachable mags. Save the semi auto for when you...

    Hunting & Fishing .308 lays down the law for me once again

    Re: .308 lays down the law on whitetail Congrats, very nice buck. Sometimes target bullets do well on game. I recently switched to the Berger VLD hunting bullets for my pronghorn load of choice. Hammers them in the 6.5 and shoots exactly like the VLD Target bullets in my match barrel...

    Hunting & Fishing Mozambique Hunt

    Since there have been a couple recent African hunting posts here, thought I'd post up some pics from our recent hunt there. This was Mid August in Coutada 12 south of the Zambezi River, a very heavily forested area. I was on a Buff hunt and others in our party were also hunting buff and plains...

    Hunting & Fishing Safari Questions

    Re: Safari Questions Three of the hunters in our group last August in Mozambique were shooting 308s. One was using some 180 Accubonds, the other was using a 165 Ballistic Tip. Can you guess which one had some issues taking game cleanly even with what appeared to be good shot placement. I...

    Hunting & Fishing Back from Mozambique

    Re: Back from Mozambique Moz is one of the best places in Africa to hunt. Great looking trophies here. I just did my 3rd trip to Moz last August. 12 day hunt that I spent 6.5 days walking up the same old dugga boy. That shot and follow up in the tall grass was the most rewarding hunt...

    Rifle Scopes Dot sight for an SBR

    Re: Dot sight for an SBR I just picked up a Vortex SPARC after owning 4 Aimpoint Micros (2 H and 2 T models both 2 & 4 moa dots). I do love the Aimpoint Micro models, but decided I needed to find something a bit cheaper to try out. I must say the Vortex is handy and now accompanies me on my...

    Rifle Scopes What scope is on your long range hunting rig

    Re: What scope is on your long range hunting rig My pronghorn rifle carries a S&B 3-12 and ART reticle. My hard core hunting and stalking rifles all wear a NF 2.5-10. I really like the illumination for early and late situations or when the game stays in the shadows of the dark woods. I'm...

    Re: Any info on hunting in Minnesota?? Life long MN resident here and I've been hunting since I was old enough to do so. MN has tons of public land open to public hunting. If you want to hunt grouse, it really dosen't get much better than northern MN. I grew up in St. Louis Park and even...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting 308 round

    Re: Hunting 308 round With the 308, I like to stick with the 165 gr weight bullets for most hunting. Deer are not that hard to kill so any good bullet will do the job. That being said, I've gone to the 165 Accubond for all my 308 hunting. Easy to get a factory loaded cartridge and easy to...
