Anyone have any data or information on this Ackley ? I want to do one

I want to agree that Redding is outstanding in the customer service dept. - They have sharp technicians as well - ANY company that closes for opening week of deer season is OK in my book

I just wanted to add that I recently bought 100 Norma cases in 300 WSM and necked them to 325 - One step and they drop right in the chamber and shoot great Haven't had a chance to chrono the load to compare with the WW brass but I'll take Norma brass anytime I can get it - point of impact is...

put a trigger and have a model 70 style safety installed and have the extractor cut so it will load singles and go with it and don't look back - GOOD CHOICE !!

Did you say this is a factory 70 ? As in New Haven built ? Chrome Moly action & barrel ? There is a well known reason the New Haven plant went under ... B T W - I LOVE model 70's !!

Pac Nor has ALWAYS been a great outfit to deal with making outstanding barrels - I have had many jobs done by them (Chris Dischter used to be the owner, not sure if his son took over) but mostly I had them do the fit and chambering too without issues of any type - AND, as stated, they are an...

Just don't forget a GOOD supply of Advil ! (and maybe a gunbearer)

Hey Guy - Your response has alot of merit, as in all things there is a "subjective" side to consider - Mostly, when mentioning the long range TV shows and "advocates" one can see that the terrain they are hunting in would lend itself to putting a "hunt" on the beast rather than picking a...

DrMike - Again, well said - I am not necessarily talking of the hunter who ventures forth intending on a HUNT who is prepared to take that long shot if the need arises - I am talking about a relatively "new culture" that proposes this ultra long range shooting at big game as a pursuit in...

I am thinking that a 300 WSM may not quite get you to where you want to be although it would most likely be close and those "shorts" sure do make for a nice "HUNTING" rifle - I see the RUM as pretty overbore (I know, I know ... I'm gonna get chewed on that one) but a 300 Win Mag will sure enough...

I would like to weigh in on a topic that gets my blood boiling .... Long Range Shooting of Big Game - Now, I'm not necessarily talking of the occasional 500 or even 600 yd shot some of us have taken at an elk BUT the "vendors" who now offer 3,4 or 5 day courses on "how to kill your elk at 900...

DrMike - Well said ... In today's world, for a rifle hunter, it would be a tall order to come up with many "new" ideas that haven't either been tried or are available in "someone's" gun offering - When you can choose from Kimber, Browning, Winchester, Tikka, Sako, Marlin and the like for...

.270 WSM in either a 1) Kimber Montana 2) Tikka T-3 3) Browning A Bolt (Mountain Ti would be cool) - 130 or 140 AB's - Leupold scope .... go huntin'

I had an RMEF auction gun in Model 70 325 WSM and the camo stock was the standard injection molded one - It was a nice rifle though, should not have sold it !!

Since this IS a forum I trust I won't offend anyone with another opinion ... As a target or varmint rifle the Remington 700 is great BUT as a "hunting" rifle, IN MY OPINION, it leaves alot to be desired - A good example would be the Browning A Bolt which had 2 collaborating designers one of...

I would not unload that Mauser !! I might buy the new rifle (or 2) and save making your Mauser "right" until later but a Mauser '98 that shoots that good is a thing of beauty in it's own right Is that "DuraCoat" a DIY job or do you have to send it out ?

You will most likely find that the Kimber 325WSM won't like the 180 or 200's, at least our 2 Montana's don't but when I tried 220's the world changed - My first bullet of choice was the 200 AB since the 338 AB's I had been shooting in every weight had worked so well - Had to go to the Sierra 220...
