The quandary is if I send it to another gunsmith and shell out several hundred dollars there is no guarantee the accuracy will be fixed, or if it is fixed that I can shoot one type of ammo or will need to handload to reproduce results. Lastly if you all were in a similar position, and assuming a...

Yea I don't have the ability of knowledge to get into reloading. I'd be getting into it just to sort this issue out, which I don't really like.

Shortly after I returned from a deployment I purchased, for myself, a Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather in 7mm08. I'm originally from Ohio so I grew up hunting with a 12 gauge since rifle hunting is prohibited (though I realize it has recently changed to permit rifle hunting with handgun...

After reading this response a two things are readily apparent: 1.) There was a lot of emotion in their response. They seemed to stray from the issue by referencing the 9 years as a preacher comment (I'm Catholic so maybe I have a general distrust in the infallibility of men of God). There...

I cringe thinking about your misfortune, there are a lot of people out working on firearms now that wouldn't have been there 15 years ago. I think what scares me the most is this could have been me in your shoes, or just about any of us here.

I'll second the Gunzilla Truck Driver, I started shopping around for a new bore solution and settled on Gunzilla, and Prolix. The Problem was I couldn't find Prolix in stock so I went the other direction. As far as process, I don't have to let it sit in the barrel as long as I did with Hoppes so...

I love my model 70 7mm-08, but I too look for a larger caliber that mirrors the practicality and balance between recoil and bullet energy. I wish more rifle manufacturers chambered in 338 Fed or 338-06.

My wife just came into the room and found me reading through this thread, this lead to a conversation about hunting and long and short we are going duck hunting together next season, first time hunting for her and first time for ducks with me. On another note, looking for a second 12ga auto, I'm...

Just bought my first, AR mod 1.5-4x, and I think I like it as much, maybe a little more than the Trijicon Accupoint I have on my model 70.

the last two I went to were not worth it. if your looking for antiques or harder to find items it might be worth it but as far as commercially available firearms, the gun shows were selling obviously used or banged up floor models at around $75-$100 over MSRP. This was FL the first time and SC a...

Love my 7mm-08, I never feel under-gunned with the right bullets, looks like you had great results.

I've been pleased with mine, I think we can agree it probably wouldn't be the first choice for a scope on a competition setup, but for what I bought mine for, it has certainly exceeded my expectations.

great looking Buck, how far was he when you tagged him?

To be honest I hadn't intended to go this route for optics, I kinda felt like Trijicon made great combat optics but I wasn't too comfortable shelling out $700-$800 bucks on a variable zoom scope when in the back of my mind I was gonna be measuring it against the ACOG and RMR. I found this scope...

I put a 3-9 mildot on my Model 70 and I love it, I would definitely recommend this for a general purpose rifle, which my 7-08 is. here are some photos I just took. caveat, I did use a flashlight over the fiber optics so the dot wouldn't wash out against my wall. I have read where some people get...

Midway has some rebates listed for Hornady reloaders, 500 free bullets. I've been thinking about that direction

The pig was pretty good, lean but good. I hit him at about 70 yard with a 139 Hornady SST. One of the shoulders wasn't usable but the rest of him tasted just fine. Not to jump into the forum and sound like a fanboy, but I really am impressed with the 7mm-08 every time I hunt with it. I was able...

2012 hog hunt in FL. Winchester Model 70 7mm-08

My name is Joe, I've recently been going through the information on the threads here and joined because there seem to be a lot of like minded hunters and outdoors-men here. I am in the USAF. I grew up in OH which only allowed its 5 day deer season to be hunted with shotguns so I didn't start...
