    Gunsmithing Should I compromise a rifle to shave weight?

    Bring cash and some tissue because I'll cry a little if it leaves. ND to the west coast with a truck full of that family could drive a man nuts. I know their relatives. :)

    Gunsmithing Should I compromise a rifle to shave weight?

    I agree. I just have to find something else to use here in Idaho. I figured it was worth on more fleeting attempt before I got rid of it.

    Gunsmithing Should I compromise a rifle to shave weight?

    I have to say that I agree 100%, windermike, but nearly every hunt that I am part of regardless of who is shooting, is on video these days so I can't take any chances. I also asked the local warden about the weight limit and he said that he hasn't heard of anyone out weighing rifles but, if I...

    Gunsmithing Should I compromise a rifle to shave weight?

    I think I just gotta sell it. I reread the regs and the rifle can't weigh any more than 16lbs so the 16.9 I was planning probably won't cut it. Now, I have to shave 3.1lbs from the rifle which I don't think is possible without major work and that defeats the purpose of the rifle.

    Gunsmithing Should I compromise a rifle to shave weight?

    How much weight will turning the barrel down by 1/8in or so save? The stock is a Mcmillan A-5 with the heavier fill, too.

    Gunsmithing Should I compromise a rifle to shave weight?

    I appreciate the responses guys but I am asking for suggestions on how to make the rifle a little lighter without compromising it too much. I'd like to keep the discussion on that topic, please.

    No, but my wife and daughter need a rifle to hunt with.

    Gunsmithing Should I compromise a rifle to shave weight?

    I've found myself in a dilema. I have a Surgeon Remedy XL in .338 Lapua that I've been using to hunt and let my girls hunt with the past few years but we've recently moved to Idaho where there is a 16lb rifle limit for hunting. I've switched back to bowhunting so my first thought was to sell...

    Exemplary service from otter box

    Re: Exemplary service from otter box I agree. Awhile back, I asked for the upgraded clip and it was sent free of charge. Recently, I emailed asking if I could buy another clip because I had LOST mine while hunting and, a couple days ago, I got another in the mail. Again, it was free of...

    Advanced Marksmanship Eliminating variables???

    Re: Eliminating variables??? Its funny that you mention the one shot targets because that is what got me to thinking about all of this. I saw the target that guys are using on here and my goal is to shoot one of those targets and hit every dot. It may take me $2000 in ammo to get there but...

    Advanced Marksmanship Eliminating variables???

    Re: Eliminating variables??? Thanks for the input guys. I went up today and shot 100yds but the elevation was about 2000ft different than yesterday and about 15 degrees cooler. We went to an area that we hunt so my position wasn't nearly as comfortable and was realistic for what I expect...

    Advanced Marksmanship Eliminating variables???

    I've read through and done my best to practice the tips that I've seen here about shooting position, etc and they truly help but I am curious as to what a person can do to eliminate variables for shooting in less than perfect conditions. Tonight, I decided to shoot groups at 100yds and the...
