    AR 10's & heavy bullets

    I'm looking to get into a short/mid range elk rifle & so far I'm leaning toward a lightweight AR 10 in either 308 (with 200 grain partitions), or maybe a 338 federal (200-225 grain bullets). Before I go crazy with it I figured I'd be wise to find out how many of you have experience with either...

    Hunting & Fishing short range kill with long range gun...

    last spring i picked up this Savage 111LRH in 338 Lapua thinking i'd focus on long range hunting. i spent many hours working on the gun & mucho $$ doping it out to 1k...... then i shot this raghorn at less than 75 yards. i seem to either see no elk, or have them walk right over the top of me...

    111 looks like a keeper!

    i think i'll call her "Rejiggered" last november i had a few stalks on wolves that frustrated me. they'd give me all day at 1200-1500 ayrds, but once i got inside 1000, they just dematerialized- poof! gone! no trace... it got me thinking about getting a bigger gun. i talked to a local shop...

    if 400 yards with a 22 equals 1000 with a 308....

    i did some 200 & 400 yard shots with the SS5-20 on the 10/22 today with crappy wind. it was 10-15 mph quartering slightly to my right out to 200, then from 200-400 it was blowing 20mph at full value left- then right- then straight at me again- then.... there was about a 10 foot ring of plumes...

    upgrade the 581s, or get a cz, or get a savage?

    vette and his cz (and a few others) have inspired me. i want to put together a rimfire trainer. is it worth making my old (free) 581s into a trainer? i've read that you can make a jewel work in the old 581's. the poor thing is accurate, but it never gets used (10/22 is funner). i could have...

    over scoped?

    i feel ridiculous having a $500 dollar vx-II 6-18 on my 10/22. who else is running a scope worth over 2x as much as their 22? and why? i love the way it shoots with the loopy on, but have a hard time rationalizing the idea of keeping it on there.

    my <$2k savage 111

    well here it is, finally put together. i'd like to thank you all for the information that led me to this mix. i chose the 111 over the 110ba because i really don't plan to shoot it all that much. i plan to dump canines at long range with it & use it for bears. if i shoot it enough to justify...

    first step for the 10/22

    this is the 10/22 i bought for the truck a few years ago. it's just a simple cheap stainless/plastic carbine- or it was... i can't resist messing with it. it's always been an accurate little gun, so i was a little worried about free floating the barrel in a new stock, but i got a good deal on...

    Rifle Scopes ruger base options

    i'm interested in getting some more distance out of my m77 mkII. any of you brain surgeons managed to find 20 or 30 moa bases to fit a ruger without raising the scope a ridiculous amount? i can't seem to find anything that won't require alot of build up for a cheek weld. (tried the SWFA...

    far from good/ good from far

    i'm guessing it's me... i had a hard time getting my shit together today. couldn't seem to get groups inside 2" at 100 with my 270 (ruger m77 with a new muzzle break, bedded in a ross featherweight thumbhole stock). my scope has some stickiness in the turrets- poi would keep drifting 2 or 3...

    coming at this backwards...

    hi, i'm Rob, and i have a problem. back story: grew up on a ranch (or 2) in Mt, started shooting at a young age, shot alot, got bored with it, sold my soul to archery in my 20's, got fed up with compounds about 3 years ago & started making my own longbows, got introduced to long range shooting...
