I recently helped a friend on his mule deer hunt here in AZ. His rifle of choice was a 257 Weatherby Magnum and he eventually took a very respectable typical 4x4 that green scored 183. I've never hunted or shot 25 calibers before and was definitely impressed with how lethal his 257 was on that...

I'm looking for a fixed power (6.0) scope for a hunting rifle I'm putting together. I've been considering the Leupold FX-3 6x42; however, I don't want to make a purchase decision until I've evaluated other options. Any recommendations or comments are sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

I've heard a few folks say that removing the stock barrel on a Howa is a serious pain. I've got an opportunity to pick-up a very clean 1500 for a good price. I'm most interested in using it as a foundation for a humble custom build. First item would be a new barrel chambered in 223 AI. I'm very...

I'm planning all the parts and pieces for a 223 predator hunting rifle. Thinking about using a Howa 1500 with a Manners MCS-T stock. Does the new Manners MCS-DBM mini chassis work with the Howa 1500? Thanks.

My name is Jeff and I am an AR-Phobe. I've never owned or even shot an AR type weapon. I think they look very sexy in an industrial/technical sort of way - kind of like a hot chick in leather. I also know they can be made to shoot very accurately. That being said, I've always had one major...

Follow this link to see the finest example of custom rifle building craftmanship I've ever seen. http://forums.accuratereloading.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7971019521/m/3251015831 I know it does not fit the standard example of tactical weapon discussed on this forum; however, I can't imagine any...

I'm looking to get my son a quality 223 for his college graduation. I want something that has good accuracy out of the box, quality trigger/action/barrel/stock, and would serve as a good foundation for a future 223AI custom build. Both these rifles seem like good candidates. What say ye? Pro &...

Well, I just pulled the trigger (no pun intended) on my first e-caller. It is a FoxPro Fury. I've been researching different e-callers for several months and finally made a decision. While I don't think any brand of e-caller is perfect for every situation, I do think the Fury will fill the bill...

I am working through my list of reloading options for a 243AI build. I shoot competitive benchrest (6PPC) and use a custom 65-grain boattail. I've got over 20K of these custom BT's and wondered about using them in my 243AI on coyotes or other predators. Any thoughts on shooting this type of...

I tried the "Search" function and could not find anything on this rifle. Is listed on the Ruger website; however, I've not seen one at my local dealer. Has anyone seen this rifle or has any thoughts about it? I've like some of Ruger's other weapons and wondered if they have a winner with the...

I've shot competitive benchrest (NBRSA) for several years. My son and I also do a bunch of coyote hunting. We live/play in the metro Phoenix area. <span style="font-weight: bold">How do we get started in tactical competitive shooting? </span> We are not military or law enforcement. Just a...

I'm looking for companies that offer precision foam cutting services for pelican and storm cases. I've tried doing it myself and it looks like it was done by an axe murderer I've heard that some companies use a water jet to cut the foam; however, I've used the search function and can't find...

I'm looking for recommendations for 70/75 grain 6mm pills. I will be using this to interupt the brain/hear/lung function on predators - primarily coyotes. I want good performance out to 500 yards; however, most shots will likely be under 300. I am a fanatic about precision group shooting; so...

I'm putting together my wish list for a 243AI custom build. About the only thing that I've got set in stone is a McMillan A-5 in Desert Camo with the Integral Cheekpiece. I'm leaning towards a Jewel trigger; however, I will consider other options. I've been shooting Kreiger barrels on my...

First, let me emphasize that I am not claiming to be an expert. I simply have been wondering about an aspect of hunting recently and wanted to through it out on this board for discussion. I've watched a ton of hunting DVD's and TV shows over the years. It is my opinion that the majority of...

I'm a newbie to the site and have some basic questions about the S&B PMII. I'm working to build a 243AI tactical for coyotes and other predators. I want to get the PMII 5-25 LP for my scope. Is a "first" reticle focal plane preferrable to a "second" reticle focal plane for the type of...
