Just purchased a Nosler 48 Heritage in 7mm-08. It should be delivered within a week. My quest for a wood stocked 8# hunting rifle ended with the decision to buy a short action Nosler 48 Heritage, after considerable thought. Caliber was not as important as the character of the rifle. I had...
Congratulations to Megan and Dad for being a great father. The future of our sport is with sons AND daughters. Girls hunting turn into mothers that encourage and support their children in the outdoors.
It was 5 o’clock and I had just decided to stay in my stand until dark. I was in a tree stand overlooking a wooded bottom flat, adjacent to farm fields. The deer first appeared trotting along the fence line in the field to the West. He was heading North and appeared to be the same deer that I...
The current models on the Nosler Rifle line are the Heritage, Patriot and Outfitter. Previously there was the Trophy Grade. How does the Trophy Grade compare to the current models?
I am seriously considering a 35 Whelen. I just killed a buck with my 338 Federal and 185 TSX’s, which was an...
Thanks for the pictures and the feedback. I like the 'slim through the grip' comment. The grip radius and profile make or break a stock for me. I have always liked McMillian Classics and H-S for this reason. The Cooper stocks by B&C don't feel comfortable to me. These Montana's are a very nice...
I'm glad to see a company like this make it. The only addition that I would make to their designs is an integral dovetail aka Ruger/Sako. I hope that the mount screws are 8-40, although they are probably 6-48 to take Model 70 factory mounts. These rifles look like the poorman's H-S Precision at...
Not sure what caliber. Probably an X2. Either 260, 7-08, or 6.5 Creedmoor. Their twist in the 6.5 are a little slow. I would prefer 1-8" to shoot 140's. I'm more interested in hearing about general quality and accuracy. If they had a classic style laminated wood stock, I could be interested in...
Dr. Mike, thanks for the welcome. What I see in this forum that I like is the orientation to hunting rifles. More specifically, traditional styled rifles, meant to be carried.
I've inserted a photo of my 338 Federal. It's a Sako L-579 in a McMillian Sako Classic pattern stock with a 21"...
Has anyone on here done load development for the 338 Federal? If so, what was the most accurate powder(s)? I'm interested in bullet weights from 180 to 210 grains.
Thanks
