This forum is not my cup of tea. Good hunting!

That looks very much like one of my rifles except for the scope. I have some unsolicited advice concerning the stock. I would bed the recoil lug and make sure the tang has a tiny amount of clearance before shooting a bunch of rounds through the rifle. My first Hawkeye African split the stock...

If you can take some time off before your bull elk adventure, I would highly recommend drawing a cow elk tag and get some DIY exposure to elk country. Cow tags are much less expensive and fairly easy to draw. Even if you do not take a cow on the hunt the learning experience is well worth the...

A quality .223 would be practical with your other rifles.

A .25-06 with a good barrel woud do the trick. There are plenty of bullet choices in .257, and the cases are fairly common.

That would be my pick also if I wanted an aluminum bedding block. I have Medalists on a few rifles and they are very good. I think that this is the stock that Remington's Custom Shop uses now. Even the B&C without the bedding block is a good stock for the price.

I have switched around a fair few Remington stocks, and actually thought that the Walnut stock was better that the standard factory 700 synthethic. I am a big fan of synthethic stocks, but thought that the factory 700 stock had a bit too much flex unless it was stiffened or at least bedded to...

I have been using a Tuffpak for some time. After watching me wrestling with loading and unloading it my wife made a bag to fit inside a few years ago. I finally wore out the bag that she had made, and ordered one from Nalpak to fit inside the case. The new bag is just great. It is nylon with...

I have never hunted the game ranches of South Africa, but I have left boot tracks in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia. For me it is all about the hunt, and not always the measurement of the trophy. On a hunt where I expect to bag an average of one a day it is tough to look for all super heads...

I have been stationed near Marines quite a bit. Fun guys, but some of them didn't have what you would call a well developed sense of humor.

That would be me! Many years ago - U.S. Army Ranger (Airborne)

I use a VX III 4.5-14 Duplex without the AO feature on my open country deer/elk rifle (.300WM). Several other rifles that I use have AO, but unless I am target/varmit shooting I end up setting them at 200 and leaving them alone. I get too excited to remember to fool with the AO when there is...

This is the way I bed most rifles. I grind a couple of flats on the sides (at the end) of each bolt after cutting the head off so that the bolts can be moved easily with a wrench. I have bedded quite a few rifles this way with very good results. However, it does not work (at least for me) on...

I am thinking about getting a day room in Frankfurt this year to get some rest during a long layover. Anyone here ever stay at the hotel attached to the airport? How was it?

Deleted - because I was being just a bit harsh, probably for no good reason.
