I have the Do-All Cape Buffalo Flight Proof double scoped rifle case. You will pay the oversized charge for it. It's well over 50# with one scoped rifle in it. Absolutely indestructable. But,it's...

I like em!

Picked up a new Elk whacker last week. Didn't really need it,but the price was right. Now all I need to do is draw a tag. Fingers crossed....

I'm a previously confesed 284 hater. Oh I tried to come over to the caliber. Tried a 700 mountain rifle in 7-08 the instatnt they were available. It turned out to have a chamber problem and had to...

If it was put up clean I'd say go for it. The old tang safety Ruger is the only M77 I'd bring home. The ones I've had were good shooters. Though the 338 needed a bedding and float job to really come...

Natures Valley crunchy oat and honey granola bars and lots of water. I can live on those things for a week if I had to. I do love bacon. heck I raise my own hogs. But the salt makes me extreamly...

Colorado(powderhorn),DIY,last rifle season. P-Points.

Wow. At a glance,this seems like a harmless enough question. I almost blurted out an answer too. Then I decided to give it a little thought. I'd like to start with some observations then boil it down...

I'm currently in the business of getting this "perfect" rifle to come together. A little background is in order. I'm just a shade over 50. Since I was a boy of 11 or 12 I've been "into" guns. Done a...

Makes sense to me. A sizeing die for the SLR is what, $100 or more? It's a pretty cool round and I'd be tempted to give one a try in a little stainless short action Rem I have here. If not for the...

Are you starting with the 243 Win case for the SLR? WHat sort of velocity are you getting with say a 140 grainer?

I don't see a problem with the 26" tube. Especially if you want to run the heavier slugs over the slower powders. I was figuring from the start to use the 140 and 150gr bullets. I actually wanted to...

Very nice! Ya done good :cool:. That a Tikka? What medicine you using in it?

I don't have any instrumental velocities here. I'm too lazy to drag out the chronograph,lol. As far as being hindered with the short action,if you adjust your free bore to match the mag length,the...

Left to right : 140 gr Sierra Pro Hunter over 56gr of H4350 @ 3.040 C.O.A.L
Next up is the 150gr Nosler over 55gr of RL19 @ 3.110 C.O.A.L...

I can answer most of your questions now,and get the rest tomorrow. The man cave is out beyond the garage along with the safe and notes. I'm currently loading the 150 Nosler Ballistic tip. They claim...

I currently own and opperate a long action custom M700 in 284 Win. No turn neck with the free bore length to accomodate the 150gr bullet. Seated to the lands the base of the bullet is just flush with...

You have time to get in shape so the added weight isn't enough to worry about. If the 300 isn't the winner in the accuracy dept,get working with it. Heck you own it,why not take it elk hunting? If...

The next time I'm in the "Man cave", I'll grab my GPS. I have some stuff marked on it that may be of some service to you. I can get you into where we saw the 2 big boys,and where the most sign was.

Anyone handle the Badlands Stealth pack yet? I'm looking for a LIGHT day pack for the essentials hunting a couple, three or four miles from camp. Not backpacking in,just for the day. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks fellas. That was his 3rd rifle checkering job. Working evenings after a day of tool and die is hard on the eyes. The man is patient beyond belief.

Back many years ago. 1977 maybe. My father and I went to an auction.One of the local gun shops was going out of business. We bid on and won a Remington 788 in 308. An ugly duckling that was a...

It was the first rifle elk season.

I hunted 67 for elk last fall. We were camped about halfway between Old Agency and Porcupine Gulch. We hunted (6) of us, pretty much from Porcupine to the park. Saw 2 very nice muleys even in the...

What he (Bitterroot) said. 2X or 3X on the bottom. 12X really is plenty for the top end. I routinly compete @ 400yds in a class that has a 10X limit. I'm getting 2 1/2" and 3" groups from a sporter...
