For a spotter there are many good choices in the $2k range. Not sure you could go wrong. For a tripod take a look at the one from Outdoorsmans here: http://outdoorsmans.com/collections/outdoorsmans-tripod-system Mine has the pistol head with the panning attachment, but they have other...

Since you're into 7mm I would get a new .280 AI Nosler M48 or maybe a 28. To bad you wouldn't get it in time for the hunt. That being said you have completely jinxed yourself on getting drawn so it really doesn't matter what you decide now :lol: I have hunted the Kaibab once and my buddy...

Dr. Vette thanks for providing great information. GPSfiledepot is a great site and while you have to have some computer skills to get their stuff to work, it would be awesome even if it wasn't free. My Rino 520cx is stuffed with their detailed AZ map and I have used it for years. One thing to...

Went to the range today and it was a good day. The M48 ran 45 rounds flawlessly so I am on my way to renewed confidence. Still working up loads, but as you can see the rifle is doing just fine, at least by my standards. (y) To be honest there was a flyer for shot #5 that ruined this group...

My rifle is back at home and all appears to be well. It was nicely packaged and they included a users guide which I didn't have before. I also receive a printed note that when shipping a bolt action I should remove and pad the bolt itself separately from the rifle, but with in the gun case...

The one question from the OP not addressed. Inquiring minds would like to know...

The order I placed a few weeks ago from Cabella's for two test packs of 7mm 150gr ABLR are back ordered and expected in at the end of July. What's up with Nosler's production of this highly touted bullet?

My rifle is on the way back from Bend and the Custom Shop addressed the issue. This is what they told the customer service representative that assisted me. “The part of the safety that blocks the trigger looked like it got bent slightly, too much pressure possibly when pulling the trigger...

Wow, that is awesome. I want to duplicate your load. Where did you find Reloader 26? This powder is not listed on their web site, but a Google search does find information on a related Alliant site.

Yes JD338, 500 meters off hand is very doable as I have seen both men and women nail 4 out of 5 Ram's. I hit one once and hope to do so again someday. I picked up some 140 grain Balistic Tips at Sportsman's Warehouse (ship to store for free) and compared them to the few remaining 140 grain...

Sweet and under appreciated. When putting together a Javalina purpose gun I chose a .222 Rem Mag AI which is a supped up .222 and beats the .223 even if AI. Have fun!

I expect the fire forming to work just fine and provide less expensive brass for my competition loads. Nosler stuff is great, but expensive. No issues on closing the bolt on a .280 REM in the Nos AI. Since the shoulder is at a much steeper angle, I didn't expect it to. I suspect the next...

You might be sorry you asked as I tend to be a geeky numbers guy... 10 rounds of factory Nosler untouched by a die, 5 from two different boxes, average 2.126" to the shoulder with an ES of 0.008" using my Hornady tool. 10 Remington Peters brass after fire forming factory loads average 2.115"...

What a great thread. I trust no one will mind if a newbe joins. I have a Patriot in .280 Nos AI and so far am quite happy with it. This is a dual purpose rifle for me. Hunting first and silhouette competition second. For that reason I aimed at keeping the competition setup below 9lbs so I...

Do they have Universal Clays or are the rumors correct and this powder is history?

Hi 6mm, Looking good. I agree completely with the scope recommendations. I have a VX3 4.5x14x40 B&C on at T/C in .280 Rem I really like. It would be just that much better with a CDC. The B&C is great for fast shots and the CDC would allow for very accurate long range shots if desired...

Thank you Shawn, Mike responded right away and my rifle is in the mail as of today. I am really impressed by your customer service at this point and appreciate your attention.

You are likely correct hodgeman and that is what I planned to do once I knew what the torque specifications are for the stock screws. Since Nosler will address the issue at no cost for shipping to me, I'll go with the experts. I still would like those torque specs just in case I have to do...

Thank you Fotis and JD338. I have a call into Shawn and will post back what I learn.

At the range over the weekend I experienced a stuck safety on my new Nosler Patriot on it's 3rd outing. The rifle would not fire because the safety could not be completely disengaged. At one point it was completely stuck. Eventually my friend worked it free and the rifle was fine for the rest...
