I've taken quite a few coyotes here on the farm with my daughters . 260 rem and she's killed a few herself. We use her deer loads which is a Sierra 120gr PH. Needless to say it's hammers them to the ground pretty quick. I had a couple run on me but i made a bad shot in the mid section but they...
I've bought, sold, traded and used numerous scopes from different manufacture's over the years and have never that i can recall had a really bad experience with any of them. I currently have a Leupold VX5 on my Rem 700 CDL 25.06 which is my hunting rifle. Have the same scope on my daughter's...
RL25 is one of my favorite powders along with RL22 in the 25.06 with the heavier 120gr bullet, it produces very good velocity, accuracy and is also consistent.
I've never used the TTSX version but shot the 130gr TSX with RL15 for several years in my 30.06 with excellent results in accuracy and on game. Only 1 deer ran after the shot and went maybe 20yds and dropped all the others fell in the scope when i pulled the trigger. Needless to say of all the...
I've never owned a Tikka but I've always heard nothing but positive feedback on those rifles. A good friend of mine has two sons who both shoot Tikkas and both their rifles are extremely accurate.
The only caliber I've used RL22 in is the 25.06 with bullets from 110gr - 120gr and it has been exceptional. I have several pounds on hand but have quite a few rounds loaded up so i should be good for a while. I've always heard of it being very temp sensitive but I've personally never had any...
I agree 100% ! I've been using the Speer 120gr Hot-Cor for around 35yrs myself and it is no doubt my forever bullet in the 25.06. It has always shot with great accuracy and it's performance on game has been excellent. I stocked up when i found out that Speer was going to discontinue that bullet...
Some mighty fine shooting from a smokepole :). I use to have a .54 cal Thompson Hawken that i built from a kit and it was a cap lock but i've always liked the flint lock as well. I shot iron sights and enjoyed it alot. I use to keep my bow stands up after archery season and hunted from those...
I've been using a Leupold VX5HD 2x10x42 for several years and it's been great but i've been looking really hard at the 3x15x44. I don't know that i really need the 15x44 or if i just want one :). The majority of my shots are bean fields 300yds and closer but i do have several shots that would be...
That load should surely get it done in the field. I have several pounds of IMR 7828 in the cabinet and though i haven't used it in a while i do have several good loads worked up with it for the 25.06. It's a good powder and i plan to keep it around.
She started out years back using the Nosler 120gr BT and it performed great on deer but we ran out and they became extinct. We had to find something else so we went with the Sierra 120gr PH and it shot so well that we never tried anything else. It's accuracy and performance on game mirrored the...
This is my daughter's Rem 700 .260 SPS that i put in a CDL wood stock. Bedded the action, floated the barrel, squared the bolt face and put a Timney trigger in it. It's topped with a Leupold VX5HD and looks like the twin of my 25.06 CDL. She loves this rifle and has harvested quite a few deer...
