Folks, I've got a Canjar trigger on the way. It's "supposed' to be for a Remington 700. As Canjar did with all his triggers it's marked "700 2s/1 on the top. It does not have a bolt release. Does anyone know if it will fit my 700 VSSF II rifle. Thank you in advance for your time and...

I used a 336 Marlin in 35 Remington. I bought it from Leslie Edelman's in Horsham, PA when I came home from Vietnam. $75.00 NIB. Shot a 7 point in Carbon County, PA , second day of the season. Semper Fidelis Soup "Down South 68-69"

Folks , I've got a new Remington 700- 22-250- VSSF rifle. Has anyone used any of the Accurate or Ramshot powders loading for a 14 twist 22-250? In particular 4064 and 2520 , TAC or BIG Game. I'm not a fast guy, accuracy is way more important to me. Shot some 40 grain Varmagdedons for a nice...

I think the .243 Winchester is your huckleberry. Nosler had a ballistics engineer by the name of Gale Root. His favorite caliber was .243. Nosler had him develop the 90 grain and 95 grain BT. He took everything from WT Deer to Black Bear and even an elk or 2. I wouldn't use it on Elk myself...

Folks, I've come across a cherry VSSF in 22-250,don't think it has been shot! Can you tell me if this is a good rifle? It's fluted-stainless-HS stock-26" barrel. much lighter than my VLS, I'm guessing the stock and flutes make it lighter. I've got bullets from 40 to 55 grains-VV-Accurate-...

Gentleman, Went to the range today set up my target and realized I left the little allen wrench Leupold gives you to remove the elevation adjustment cap at home!!! Back to home, back to range, -I hate doing double work-it advertises my stupidity! Only had 7 rounds left-1st shot was 2.5 high...

Thank you all for your kind remarks. No rain until later today I'm going to try to go to the range. I've got 7 of the Varget rounds loaded for the story at 100 yards benched. Soup

Folks, I took the Tikka to the range for the first time yesterday. Loaded 3 brands of powder, -Varget - N140 and Accurate 4064, all under a Nosler 70 grain RDF. There's a VX 5HD 3x15x44 on top, mounts, rail all Leupold "Back Country". Not a nice day drizzle off / on and a little wind. Shot at...

Folks, I purchased an 8 twist .22-250 Tikka Lite , mounted a VX 5HD 3x15 on top and now the search begins! My intentions are daytime coyotes. I've got some of the RDF bullets and was wondering if anyone has used them on yotes?? Also have a bunch of 55 grain BT and Varmagddons ,, but I'd like to...

Folks, I've got a new Tikka Lite 8 twist .22-250. I'd like to use 70 grain pills for coyotes. I have 200 Nosler 70 grain RDF bullets but don't know if they are suitable for coyote hunting. If anyone is using them, or other 70 weight bullets how do you like them. Thank you in advance for your...

Thank you for your replies. I'm not looking for speed, actually prefer slower speeds. Accuracy is my goal. Soup

Thank you for your reply. Have you ever used them? Soup

Folks , Wondering is anyone is loading 6mm Nosler 55 grain pills in an 8 twist .243? I've got a bunch of them and the FB Varmegdedons. Could you get any accuracy? Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Semper Fidelis. Soup "Down South 66-68"
