I will be hunting with Gunsons Outfitter Up near the Liard River. The actual hunting area is just a few miles from the Yukon border. Canada/Yukon moose and wolf hunt. 10 days in middle of Sept. I couldn't get the 260 partitions to shoot like I hoped pre customizations, so once its put together...

As of today, I am officially 90 days out to my Northern BC moose hunt. I will be taking my recently purchased Weatherby Vanguard DGR 375 H&H rifle on this hunt. Being that I am a rifle tinker and for me this is a very expensive hunt, I am trying to customize this rifle to provide the very best...

Talleys came in today so I was able to get the new scope mounted on the 270. Its a VX6 2-12X42 Plex CDS. This scope replaces the 3-9x40 Zeiss Conquest it had before. I did this in an attempt to better utilize it's capabilities as a mid range (out to 600 yards) big game rifle. (Even though I have...

Winchester 70 270 winchester shooting 129gr Barnes LRX w/ zeiss 3-9x40. - Anything in the world except..... ....Lion, Hippo, Elephant,buffalo, Brown Bear - that gets 375 H&H

No this rifle had approx 100-120 nosler rounds through it first. At that point I switched to barnes searching for the load. In total it had approx 150-160 rounds down it when I shot today. I thought it was the chronograph too, so I tested the two other rifles I had. The first was a...

Is it common for a barrel to gain velocity after proper breakin? Last summer, I put a new Shilen Barrel on my .270. I finished it at 24.75". I put approx 100 rounds down it (Barnes, Accubonds, Partitions) to break it in and develop a load for 2016 fall hunting season. I ended up settling on...

Wife doesn't know yet, but I am working on that... Ordered a new Tikka T3X Lite SS 22-250 W/ 1/8" Twist. This is a special run that is being offered by Whittaker's. Going to load 75-80 grain VLD type bullets and sling them out really far at the steel. Got a SWFA SS 10X42 MIL/MIL that I will put...

Was able to get out to the range today to shoot my new 375 H&H. I had it bedded by the gunsmith and wanted to see what she could do. All my loads were Hornady Brass, CCI 250 primers, RE-15, and 250 BARNES TTSX and 270 BARNES TSX. With the 250's, I started at 72.0 grains to get sighted in and on...

I had read about that, and while I doubt its an issue, I may send this rifle to the smith to mill out a side stop - like on nosler rifles. Got the 2-7 vxr today and got it mounted up. Looks like it just fits the rifle/caliber to a tee. It is setting in Low Leupold PWR rings on Warne Steel...

One of the dumbest things I have done in the last couple years was sell my Ruger 77 Afican 375 Ruger...It was killing me not having a 375. So when Sportsman's ran this on sale, I had to have it... Weatherby Vanguard DGR in 375H&H. Has B&C stock, NECG sights, and a very crisp trigger. Gun is 7...

Its a first gen Crossfire 3-9x40...Entry level $125 scope...Its surprizingly heavy for a basic 3-9x and optically its just ok, but a rifle like this needs something a little nicer. May also look at a Zeiss Terra 2-7x as I can get an as new demo model for the same price if not cheaper that the...

I actually will be using the B&C ti stock as the McMillan I wanted (thought was already built and ready for sale) sold out and I am not waiting for one to be built. Ordered direct from B&C this morning. Black with Red Webbing. Also, have decided to do a Mini 16 Extractor instead of Sako.

Haven't even received back my latest build (shipping back to me as we speak) and I am starting a new one...May be going off the deep end... This project is going to be for my son. He has a Remington youth 243 ADL w/ Vortex 3-9x40 - OK starter rifle, but for a short/small rifle its still kind of...

I know I am 8 months out, but this is a big trip for me and I like to plan so I wanted to get your guys feedback on my anticipated gear list. The list below is the general list the outfitter sent me and next to it is the specific I item I plan on taking. There are a few items I am not decided on...

Appreciate all the feedback and will share all the pics and stories. I also will be sharing some of my fitness journey to prepare for the hunt... I was a college and semi pro baseball player and always was in great shape and somewhat of a workout junkie - Always in that 190-195 range. In the...

My favorite rifle and cartridge is my trusty 270 win. It has killed a bunch of mule deer, few elk, moose, antelope, black bear, and coyotes. Built on a FN Winchester 70 Supergrade action, 24.75" Shilen SS #3 barrel, McMillan Edge classic stock, Timney trigger, Talleys, and Zeiss Conquest...

I killed my Idaho bull with a .270, 130 partition at 3100 FPS, 150 yard shot, just layed down and died. Of all the rifles I have that could be the best moose cartridge imho, would be my 338 win mag with 225 grain premium loads at 28-2850 FPS.
