I mentioned this in another thread recently. Tactical seems all the rage these days, but I bought one more for the practical - instead of tactical. As a civilian, I took a week long sniper course in 2002 with a few other local gun guys that was taught by a retired Army Major who had been a...

Has there been a change in wolf management in BC/AB? If not, have wildlife managers explained the increase in population? Just curious....

Good job! What sort of speeds are you getting in the 7Mag with 66gr of RL22 and the 140ABs? I've got some RL22 to try soon... BT

Nice rifle! Who did the cerakote? I've thought about doing one myself....

For as long as I can remember, the Rem 700 has been the most consistently accurate out-of-the-box factory rifle. There may be others now, but I have confidence in the 700. I shot a box of Nosler 40BTs through my 700 a few years ago, pushed close to 3700-fps. They are not quite as accurate as...

So far, Clinton and Janet Reno were worse - far worse. Watch the film "Waco : Rules of Engagement" to see what fed LEOs are capable of under a Dem administration. Ruby Ridge is another example. BT

Is that the heavy barrel? What length barrel? Sounds like your rifle is doing well. Just got 100 pieces of once-fired Nosler 223 brass prepped. Plan to load them with Benchmark, Rem 7-1/2 primers and Nosler 50BT to 3350-fps. My Rem700 VS with its 24" 1:12 heavy barrel and with W748 and...

Thanks SJB & Dr. The stock is fiddleback maple. A gunsmith/stockmaker friend of the family took pity on the homely 721 in its original form, and over the course of a year's time, created a new look. A couple years after getting the new stock, I added a new Douglas barrel chambered in 300Bee...

I will post pics and my impressions once I get it on the rifle. Right now, I plan to use 30mm Warne quick-detach rings so I can easily swap back to my Leupold 3-9. I'm already planning an antelope hunt, but a fixed 10x might not be the best choice for deer/elk in the timber. Doesn't matter which...

I have an SWFA SS10x42 MRAD coming (on backorder). http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-10x42-Tactical- ... 53712.aspx I'm hoping everything I've read about it and watched on YouTube is true... Reviewers say it's worth multiples of its cost in terms of optical quality, and that the turrets have absolute...

My first reloads were for a sporterized 03A3 30-06 I had in the mid 60s. A friend had the gear, but the reloads weren't that great. Went boom, but that's about it. My real introduction to handloading began in 1971, when an older mentor took me under his wing and taught me how to do it correctly...

Warne indicates on their web site that optics can be removed and replaced with essentially no change in point of impact when using their quick-release mounts (or, I suppose their tactical mounts). Though I'd likely never need it, this feature would make it possible to take two scopes with you on...

I agree... I often think about how much some of the scopes talked about here cost and how much time is actually spent looking through them. Then, I worry about carrying that scope while crossing a steep snow/ice covered talus slope, or carrying it on a horse or ATV. And, I sometimes wonder how...

The pics didn't appear.... Normally, loading for a semi-auto is as much or more so about reliable gun functioning than max velocity/pressure loading. Same with full length sizing. The cases need to be sized more for reliable functioning than for max case life or max accuracy. To compensate for...

Not sure where your rancher's property was located but the reality of the knapweed decline county-wide is quite different. BT

Just installed a set of medium height Warne rings & bases on my 700VS-223. Warne rings & mounts are nicely made and rock solid. BT

I've had a couple sets of Warne scope rings and mounts for a few years now, and just got around to installing them on both of my Rem700s. I've often thought the dovetail type mounts I had been using were the cause of a couple shifts in point of impact in the past due to tipovers on the ground in...

It's worth the time and effort to locate a really good gunsmith to do the barrel swap. This is probably at least as important as barrel choice. If possible, I'd search for a smith who does work for the competitive shooters... BT

If we use Montana as an example, in the beginning the various agencies will quickly compensate ranchers for the loss of livestock, and will provide agency managers with the means to trap or remove problem wolves. Ranchers are not given permission to shoot them. Then, once the wolf population has...
