    Thoughts on savage 243 build

    Thanks guys. Yeah, I've shot lots of .243's and loved them but never owned one. So my 22-250 has run its course and i was trying to sell it but then figured why sell it when I love the action and trigger that it has already. And eventually it will have one of the carbon xlr folding stocks on...

    Thoughts on savage 243 build

    I already own a savage model 12 btcss which is a 22-250 with a 26" stainless barrel and a laminate thumb hole stock. The gun no longer serves it's purpose and I am looking into having it rebarreled into a 243 with either an 18 or 22" #5 contour Schillen match grade barrel. Eventually I will...

    300 winchester rifle

    Re: 300 winchester rifle You really dont need the 300 win mag unless you are target shooting out to 1000 yards or hunting big game that you dont want to take a chance of just wounding (shot placement is still a big player here though, the right shot can take down just about anything) You...

    My 1st Bolt Action

    Re: My 1st Bolt Action That's a sweet rig man. On the hunting note, I would start with a remington sendero, have the action worked on, muzzle break it, or get a can for it and throw you a nice scope on it. I like the 22-250, 243 and 25-06 rounds for hunting until you get into big game, then...

    what to upgrade next?

    I have a remington 700 bdl in 300 win mag. This passed weekend I found a sendero stock to drop it in and now I do not know what to do next. This rifle is mainly a hunting gun, but I also want it to be a tack driver on paper. I need a new scope, trigger and barrel. I talked to a local...

    question about sendero stock

    Re: question about sendero stock I tried this a couple of ways earlier, front screw and then the bacfk screw and its still doing it. should i put two of them on there? I guess I could just use it and not open the bottom metal...cause it screws down okay, i just cant clip it back down once...

    question about sendero stock

    This weekend, I moved my 300 WM bdl into a sendero stock that my grandpa had lying around. I really like it, but for some reason when I got the screws all the way screwed in, the bottom metal was acting wrong. It was fine until I opened it, then it would not clip back up into its spot. Its...

    xlr or A-5 stock

    Re: xlr or A-5 stock wait time isnt an issue. im using my 22-250 for the most part right now until i get my stock issue fixed. It is already braked, so the little extra weight doesnt mean a whole lot. And I do not do a lot of stand hunting, most of my hunting is walking around or sitting...

    xlr or A-5 stock

    I have a remmy 700 300 WM that is mostly used for hunting. its in an old bdl stock and the stock is touching my barrel pretty far up, and instead of modifying the stock, I was looking for a new stock. I was trying to keep it on the lighter side (no more than 4.5 pounds). The xlr weighs like...

    Hunting & Fishing Stock options for 300 winmag

    I have an old rem 700 in 300 winmag that I am looking to do a little upgrading. As it sits right now, my barrel is touching the stock pretty far up and so I was going to start there so that I do not loose accuracy as the barrel heats up. Most of my shooting is hunting in the field and I also...

    Hunting & Fishing Night hunter roll call !!!!

    Re: Night hunter roll call !!!! I usually go sit in the bed of the truck in a pasture with a 10000000 candle light q-beam and just flip it on every so often and check for eyes. Every now and then we put out corn, and we are usually successful.

    can't decide on bullet

    Re: can't decide on bullet i wanna say the twist rate is 1 in 10 but it could be 1 in 12, the barrel doesnt say. Its an old remington 700 bdl. and yes i know the gun can shoot way beyond those ranges, but unfortunately, my longest shot where i go shooting is only 500 yards. and I also...

    can't decide on bullet

    I have a maximum range of 400-500 yards with a 300 win mag. 208 seems heavy for that distance, but i don't know for sure. I've shot 150 gr nosler ballistic tips since i've had the gun and they have served me well, but i am about to load up another 200 rounds or so and was maybe looking at...

    New 300 win mag reloading question

    Re: New 300 win mag reloading question as for the part about the son, I've been using my 300 since i was around 16, but I was 185 lbs. I would highly recommend a brake. My cousin (14 yrs old) shot it a couple months ago and it hurt him pretty bad.
