(-: (-: (-: Also, april, thank you for posting my question and thank you to everyone who has responded through the thread--appreciated I am going to have my uncle build a 257 for me. He also does the reloading for me, and will use the 120 gr A Frame, as of today it will have a Leupold 3 6 x...

Whew ! and thank you. To be honest when I elected to be honest with you fellows in regards to my feelings about the ULW, I thought it was possible that I would be laughed off the forum. Dr Vette, 69gto, Guy, hodgeman--THANK YOU! Next step a scope--will not exactly the next step but one I have...

Nathan, thank you 69gto. I shot a 270 V ULW and a 257 V sporter, I liked the sporter but not the ulw. I think I would prefer to reduce weight, in the stock, not the barrel, which should happen automatically, since the stock will be made to fit me. I did not feel the 270 had good balance to it...

thanks to everyone who responded. idahoctd, my uncle agrees with you about the cut rifled barrel we will go the custom route, but still not sure about the weight of the gun. I don't want to "cut" weight by going to a light barrel, but since we will be custom fitting the stock, I am sure we...

Thank you Scotty. You and my uncle might have just sold me on the custom idea, especially since I have no hunt planned for this rifle--what is the hurry. Mauser, Model 70, Weatherby would probably be the three we would choose from, do you have a preference between these three and why ? If I...

Idaho and 69gto, right now I am still going to college full time while working two part time jobs. Fortunately for me both jobs allow me to be with my horses and outside, but I still like to hunt, canoe, and explore on my own time, when I actually have any. My uncle could easily put a custom...

Scotty, I apologize you are correct. This fellow has one he rebarreled,but I have not shot it or even seen it yet, but will in the next few days. Do you like the Kimber product ? No, you are correct, I would be walking and carrying, so weight is a consideration. The NEW Mark V's some of the...

Thank you all, very much I have heard from several people that the ulw version can shoot finicky and that is why I have steered clear of it. Just to put a small twist on this, I have also been thinking about getting the 257 weatherby caliber in the Kimber Montana instead of the Weatherby...

Dr Vette, thank you, I believe this is what my great uncle intends to do, thank you truck driver. the 257 has been recommended by my friend April, and my grandmother, so I probably will stay with that caliber, but thank you sir. As I previously here own the forum mentioned, I have a ton of...

Dr Mike, and others, we recently discussed the possibility of me getting this rifle my family has approved the purchase of the Mark V Accumark My question Do you think the "RC" is worth 300 dollars ? Do you think the same three hundred dollars would be better invested in the Deluxe or...

Mr Miner, we have less meat loss on all animals by using slower larger bullets. I even use 200 gr in the 300 H & H Fortyonesix and cheyenne, we have had the same experience as you in regards to bears challenging us for our kills, especially if they are not recovered immediately fortyonesix, do...

Thank you Dr Mike. I owe a huge Thank you, to my father, mother, grandmother and great uncle for teaching me, supporting me, both financially and emotionally, and guiding me both literally and figuratively in the field. I have access to a nice battery of rifles, but of course want my own. I...

Texas Hogs Turkeys Whitetail Mule Alligator Mountain lion Coyotes Arizona Coues Deer Elk Alaska Grizzly Black bear Moose Caribou Mountain Goat Blacktail deer wolf have gone on a dall sheep hunt, twice, but was not the hunter. magnificent animal Have been invited to the Yukon, Canada this...

Dr Mike, I have never eaten snowy owl, but I have eaten Sandhill Cranes and they are delicious Hodgeman, please correct me if I am wrong. My great uncle tells me that you can only eat or use the feathers for clothes in reference to the Snowy Owl. You can not sell any part of them even if the...

although I have never witnessed this, I agree with Hodgeman on both points. someone on a different thread mentioned "when the caribou return they might go back to Alaska". What unit's were you hoping to hunt, as we have plenty of them in 25. Mr Miner, we remain very respectful of the...

as has been mentioned bullet choose and situation awareness are very important. We always have a 45/70 with us when fishing and after the kill when hunting, regardless of the rifles we are using when hunting. Like Cheyenne we also have a dog with us at all times which works both as an early...

April, I am surprised no-one has the Savage combo, you speak of. I like them they are a fun gun. My great uncle has a 22 hornet over a 20 ga and a 30/30 over 12 gauge. He also has an old 470 NE double, that no one uses. RM, that is a very nice double, very pretty. RM or April. Is it a...

or Alaska !!!!! Dr Mike, Scotty, Earle, and others Cost aside for the moment. Original Winchester 71 or the new Browning reproduction ? thank you, Brooke

Scotty, there is a fellow up here that has a rifle just like your 35 and he uses 250 gr Kodiak for moose and bear. I keep forgetting to mention to you that Brooke got her goat, thanks for your assist. She ended up going with her brother as her grandmother has gotten at an age that goat hunting...

LOL ! You have to admit that Joel, Dr Mike and April, have very good taste in rifles Tell your mom that I have not forgotten that I owe her a scotch and I also remember she wants it with no ice as she does not like to dilute good scotch lol Happy New Year
