I agree, it seems our long standing sense of decorum here has waned of late. The wealth of knowledge here, along with the good conduct of the partipants, is what makes this forum a bright spot.
Vince, I've had three of the darn things... I think it's got enough legs under it to stay around a while, especially considering sales number of anything over .30 drops off considerably so the expectation of high volume was never on the maker's radar.
Mine all shot reasonably to very well. The...
I like the plain standard velocity .22 rounds but CCI or Eley. Out of my 23" barreled CZ they are deadly on small game. Of course, I've killed a bunch of red squirrels with CB caps loaded one at a time in the neighborhood.
For rabbits, I like the CCI Velocitors.
If it came marked "REM700" and it's not that...it's on the seller who shipped the wrong part.
I've installed a whole pile of parts on a bunch of different equipment. You don't normally check thread pitches, etc. on parts that come out of the correct box for the application.
My guess is that a...
Congrats on your hunt. Either of those cartridges will do just fine.
The odd thing with the Yukon and Interior AK, you often need more range rather than more power- especially with caribou. You can easily shoot far with either, I've always though the 300 was easier to shoot at distance.
The 180 or the 200 PT or AB would work just fine.
You're on a guided hunt. Shoot straight on the first shot and let your guide worry about the rest. Most guides worry more about clients who can't shoot than if they're shooting a big enough gun. A solid hit with a 300WM using a good bullet is...
I know I paid $400 for my Springfield P-35 as a used T&E gun. I can't imagine how much "better" one could be for over a grand.
Even full ride retail is only $700 and will likely be available at something less than that.
one of the new M21s in 33NOS would be a great rifle. My hunting partner bought one of the first 33NOS rifles, it is a killing machine and his favorite rifle by far.
I finally got the scope mounted up... a 6x42 FX3 in Leupold BC Lows.
The scoped weight came right in at 7.7 pounds... about as light as a 300 needs to be. I've got a bunch of loads ready for testing when the range thaws.
I picked up one of the new P-35s from Springfield. I've got a long association with the Hi Power, it's one of my favorite handguns.
The new Springfield is very nice...
I was shooting a pile of rounds per week trying to be a serious IDPA competitor some 25 years ago. I could scrounge a lot of cheap 9mm...but once a .45ACP came into my life, it was load ammo or skip meals.
I sort of naturally went from handgun to rifle ammo as my tastes changed.
Yeah, prices are crazy high right now across the board.
I struggle to see how people are getting four figures for 7600s...those were just never all that popular. And a GRAND for a 336 is lunacy... there must be millions of them out there floating around.
I've heard of a couple of 6.5PRCs with feeding issues, I haven't heard of any other cartridges with issues.
My 300WM feeds cases like corn through a goose.
