    Is reloading right for me?

    I used to shoot 308 a lot and was looking at getting into reloading but just never did; moved and stopped shooting as much. I now have an elk hunt booked in Wyoming for 2021 and need to buy a new rifle and practice. The local range here I can shoot 100-400 from bench, prone, and seated...

    Hunting & Fishing Elk Hunters

    I've been thinking/researching for quiet some time on this and just cannot make up my mind. I am looking to put together an elk gun. I've always lived in the midwest; and now Tennessee so some of my analysis may be incorrect as I've never hunted elk before. I am under the assumption that most...

    Chop 1:12 twist 308???

    I have a Rem 700 SPS varmint 308 1:12 twist. The barrel is the factory 26". Presently debating chopping it down to around 20" (+/-2") and having a muzzle break installed. In hindsight I wish I would have gotten the Tac rather than the varmint; I would loose too much selling and buying...

    Is a single-stage press practical?

    I want to eventually begin reloading rounds for my 308. I don't shoot an extreme amount so speed really isn't a huge concern for me; I can easily reload what i would need for the weekend each week. Is a single stage press practical for this? Is it complicated to set up your die depths and...

    Should I switch guns?

    I bought a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in 308 about 2-3 months ago. It came with a cheap Remington 4-12x scope, 75$ rebate and it was also on sale so I was happy with the price. I was hoping to shoot the rifle with the scope until I could afford a better one (I was thinking it could be a year or...

    Rifle Scopes Ring Reducers?

    The scope that i'm looking at purchasing for my 700 has a 1 in. tube, I plan to get a pictiny rail and I'm looking at what options are out there for rings. Is it a bad idea to get 30mm rings with reducers to 1 in? Are there any good 1 in. ring options out there?

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Banner Any Good?

    I have a Remington 700 in 308 and I need to get a new scope for it. The gun will be used for target and hunting whitetail; shooting up to 300 yards. I've been looking at a vortex 6.5-20x for $400 and a Bushnell Banner 6-24x for $150. I would prefer to save the money at the moment and get the...

    Took the new 700 out today

    Went out today to sight in my new 700. It started shooting nice groups once I get it zeroed in but it started getting sloppy. I looked at the scope and it looks to me like it is moving in the rings. The scope was mounted when I bought the gun at Gander Mountain. The picture shows it looks...

    Picked up my first bolt rifle

    Picked up a Remington 700 SPS Varmint chambered in 308. couldn't pass up the deal with the 75$ mail in rebate they are running until the end of May. It came with a 4-12x Remington scope, hardshell case and sling. I am assuming this scope isn't very good so I will use it in the mean time until...
