    Hunting & Fishing South Africa! - Need Suggestions.

    Re: South Africa! - Need Suggestions. Depends on what you want to hunt. Most plainsgame can be taken with a 270 or 30-06 with no problem. Most outfitters will be willing to rent a rifle to you. I was over there in early May for an 11 day hunt and it was awesome! We were about 100 miles...

    Best Hunting Rifle On a very tight budget

    Re: Best Hunting Rifle On a very tight budget I'd look for a Howa/Vanguard special at Walmart. Bed it, float it, and work the trigger. Put a $200 Nikon or Vortex 3-9X40 on it. Most any caliber will work for deer at 200 yards. A 270, 308, or 30-06 will give you a variety of factory ammo to...

    Rifle Scopes Any Nikon Monarch 3-12x42SF users?

    Re: Any Nikon Monarch 3-12x42SF users? I have a 3-12x42 and a 4-16x42 Monarch and really like them both. Used mainly for hunting,they are clear and work well in low light conditions. Parallax adjustment has never been much of an issue for me.

    Gunsmithing Rifle Dipping camo??

    Re: Rifle Dipping camo?? I've wondered the same thing? Is the Hydro-dip surface going to promote good adhesion with Duracoat or Cerakote clear? I think most dip jobs are topped with an automotive clear coat (most likely acrylic urethane) with flattening agent.

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Monarch 3-12x42SF vs Leupold optics

    Re: Nikon Monarch 3-12x42SF vs Leupold optics I have the nikon on a hunting rifle and really like it. It is as good or better than my 3-9x50 VX2 and 4.5-14x40 LR VX3. I don't have any pics or measurements handy. Hard to beat for the money! The Nikoplex reticle is really nice to my eyes...

    Re: 270WSM Build Sounds like a good project. I'm a big fan of the 270WSM. Hart did a 25/300WSM for me and it turned out great!

    Gunsmithing Ruger M77 ?

    Re: Ruger M77 ? Try 50 in/lbs for the front, 35-40 for the rear. For the center, I just put a dab of blue loctite on the screw and barely snug it up so it won't fall out.

    Casio G'Zone Ravine

    Re: Casio G'Zone Ravine I got one a couple of weeks ago and it has just as good sound quality as my 3 year old LG. No complaints at all other than the slightly larger size. That just takes some getting used to.

    .270 wsm primer question..

    Re: .270 wsm primer question.. The 270WSM is kinda borderline. It really depends on the powder you are using. I have a load using Magpro that I use WLRM primers otherwise I get hangfire when it's really cold. Load was fine during summer months, but in December when it was in the teens it...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Monarch 3-12x42 questions

    Re: Nikon Monarch 3-12x42 questions I have a 3-12x42 on a 300mag hunting rifle. I love it for an all purpose hunting rig. I put a 4-16x50 on a 6/284 and I REALLY like that scope too.

    Howa 1500 ??

    Re: Howa 1500 ?? You may have gotten lucky, but the triggers on both of my Howas were not that great even after adjusting them. Ended up with Timneys on both of them and never looked back.

    Is Winchester brass known to have thin necks?

    Re: Is Winchester brass known to have think necks? Most of the Winchester 270WSM brass I have measures .017 - .0175 neck thickness. The Remington 270WSM brass was only .0155". My Winchester 243 brass measures ~.016". It probably varies a bit from lot to lot. A little prep work and it...

    300 Win Mag troubles

    Re: 300 Win Mag troubles "The concept is refereed to as "letting the bullet go to sleep"." I always do my load testing at 200yds. If it's 1/2moa there then it's usually a pretty good load. Seating depth can make a world of difference.

    Anyone shoot a .270WSM for long range?

    Re: Anyone shoot a .270WSM for long range? I have to agree on the 140 Accubond. While not a "match grade" bullet, I have shot my Howa/Krieger "hunting rifle" out to 600 and it is almost boring. Found great accuracy with RL-22 and MagPro. Magpro had the velocity edge. I'm at ~400 rounds so...

    Barnes bullets

    Re: Barnes bullets My 338RUM hunting rifle absolutley loves the 225 Barnes TTSX with a stout load of RL25. I've shot it out to 600yds. Accubonds shot ok. Also loaded some 110TTSX in my GF's 270WSM. Little recoil and shoots near .5 MOA groups.

    Is h322 a viable substitute for h335?

    Re: Is h322 a viable substitute for h335? I use H322 in my 223 and my 6.8 and it is very accurate. I shoot 50gr V-max for the 223 and 90gr Sierra HP in the 6.8
