Anyone tried out the 7mm 168 grain lrx yet?? I have been shooting factory ammo out of my 7 since 150bt federal premium shoots so well ever since I got it bedded in a mcswirly. Now I am ready to try for better.
Man I am excited about this thread to. A friend of mine hunts hogs with an ar and has a lot of success and terminal performance. He upgraded to a 6.8 spc he bought two barrels from bison armory and then traded me the 16" one when he didn't use it for his build.
Similar to you I wanted to build...
Has anyone ever polished the feed ramp on their model 70. My classic stainless 7 mag has a really rough ramp. Just wondering if anyone had any tips either method or tools for that and/or polishing rails while I am at it.
I have polished a ramp on a .45 before so I would think it about the same...
That is what i figured by looking at it. I will have toget a scope first. I have some polished S&K rings and based that will fit it. I will shoot the 25 and then make decision.
How about a 308 Norma supergrade?? Would be little easier to pull off with what I got. I would think there would be a lot of modification required to an 06 length to get a 300 h&h??
What a 300 h&h now you have my attention? So far the offers flying around while generous in their time and genuine concern for what is best for the rifle. :wink: I think I will check in again around page 10 or 11 at this rate. :lol:
Now you see why I couldn't walk away, actually I was...
Best part is I only paid $600 for it. I was never interested in a 25-06 and was looking for a stainless model 70 donor and to my amazement this was within my donor budget?? So now pretty conflicted whether I should find another donor and shoot as is, maybe it was meant to be??
I already have a...
I walked into a local gun store and found this staring back at me. Prettiest wood I have ever seen on a factory rifle. Couldn't walk away, I see no evidence of a scope mounting or being fired. It is a classic supergrade in 25-06. I really was looking for a 300 WM or bigger but couldn't pass...
I have one of these for a 270. I have sold my 270 rifle but have now bought a forster die set for my 6.5x55. Can you swap the top of the dies to make my 6.5 die and ultra seater??
I just about got the new sako finnlight 6.5x55 going. I bought a leupold vx3 2.5x8x36 and my optilock ringmounts should be here next week.
I will probably go with forster dies and cci br2 primers. For brass should I use the Norma or lapua?? Also has anyone have a good load using h4831sc?? I...
One thing I know for sure is a quality set of binoculars has been the best addition I have ever made to my hunting kit. They are my most used tool and I don't know how I got along without them before buying them.
That said I have swarovski slc 10x42. I really like the Leica also when I bought...
I think I am leaning toward leupold vx3 2.5x8 if I don't like it could go straight to my 45-70 guide gun.
Still in the running is
Leupold fxiii 6x if I could find one to look at it.
Dark horse is z3 3x9 just because my other z3 is just rediculous.
Actually the S&B is about $1,250 and the Z5 3-18 is about $1,450.
I agree the swarovski is amazing and my Z3 is easily the best scope I have owned and super light at 12 oz.
I have always wanted a S&B and was shocked when I saw the price on the fixed 6x it was something I could afford. Only...
Looking for a scope for sako 85 finnlight in 6.5x55. My original thought was to move my z3 3-10x42 from my 7 mag and upgrade that one to a z3 4-12.
However been giving some thought to adding a real high quality 6x to the 6.5 like a Schmidt and bender? However it seems a little heavier than...
I can't take it anymore after getting my notification that it shipped first thing this morning.
I opted for the Sako Finnlight in 6.5x55. I would have preferred the short action of the 260 but was the only thing I kept coming back to on the 260. The 6.5x55 had everything else history, cool...
