Has anyone had a chance to handle burris's new tactical scope? I am considering one for my 280AI. It will be a trial run for the rifle I am having built. The scope's final resting place will be atop a Borden 300WSM hunting/target/tactical rifle. Power range will be 3-12x50. Should cover me...
The NAB is an excellent choice for whitetails. I did the point blank, dead center of the shoulder with a mv of 3200+. Needless to say, I got an exit hole, not a terrible lot of meat damaged, and a very dead 6 point. If you are wanting to go light, i would suggest giving the Barnes 130XLC a...
125NBT IS A VARMINT bullet. Although it may be suitable for use from a 30-30 hand gun. But in a 300WM?? Where do you people come up with these crazy bullet ideas???
I know I'm pleased with my Borden 280AI. Getting consistant .5moa and smaller groups with it. Velocity is running just a tad over 3200. I have had dealings with this and one other AI..a 7-08. The results I have seen more than justified the switch to the ackley in both cases. My pet load...
Where do I start???? Kreiger, Hart, Lilja, L-W, Kostyshin, Pac Nor, Schneider. All are excellent barrels. I would reccomend checking with some top BR gunsmiths to see what their opinions are. Those guys have a lot riding on their work. And second place aint an option.
I have a 280AI that was built by Jim Borden. Rem 700 action, 24 3/4 SS Hart #5 barrel, tuned factory trigger set at 28oz., Custom inletted Remington LSS stock that has been beddedwith aluminum pillars and devcon. That rifle pushes 140NAB over 3200fps and groups in the .3s. I have had several...
whitetail with a 125NBT out of a 300RUM???? ARE U CRAZY????????? I sure hope you are loading that thing WAY down. For whitetail I would be thinking 150NAB. IF that 125 makes it out the barrel in one piece with full blown loads, you aint gonna have much deer left cause it gonna look like a...
Ugliest thing i ever saw. But man do they shoot. I am very partial to remington 700s. And i would suggest one of their new sps in 7-08. Mainly due to the fact that they come with 24" barrels. But if you want a savage, they are good rifles. I didnt care for the accutrigger on mine. Just...
Glad big green finally saw the light. I already got my order in for an sps in 300wsm. For the life of me i dont know why they didnt offer the stainless in that caliber. But i guess i'll have another custom with a cm action and a ss barrel when its all said and done. Gonna ditch the...
I too am interested in seeing the accu bond ct as a reloading component. Be hard to beat a coated accubond. I would be real thrilled to see CT put out the 7mm 140 grain CTas a component bullet.
