Made my day that she wanted to help cut one of the deer up today and then wanted to go sit and watch me hunt. I was truly hoping something would show up, but the wind wasn't right and it was a bit cold and wet even for me. Hopefully next weekend the weather will be better and she and I can get...

Managed to kill a small 8 this morning. He came in over the hill right next to me at a trot and when he was at about 10 feet I got him to stop. The 6mm loaded with GMX's did their work and he made it about 75 yards. I thought my season was over but the daughter got pretty excited about it and...

Got a buddy up near St. Paul that hunts a little further north and has hunted 12 days (bow and rifle) and hasn't seen a deer. Congrats to you man!

I am just south of Paducah. We moved here 3 and a half years ago from the Illinois side of the St. Louis area.

That you did.....western KY here....Where are you at?

Well after a loooong wait the boys came through. Half an hour of shooting light left and five deer walk out in front of me and my buddies son. He lines up on the closest one and the Winchester 88 barked. The deer disappeared into the treeline and we stood up to stretch. Looked over and my...

Next Saturday is opening morning of deer season so we shall see if the gmx's are as impressive on game as they are on paper. Finished loading up what I have left of the bullets today, but luckily Midway still has the factory seconds in stock so I will have to order some more. The accuracy is...

I finally got a chance to put some rounds through the 88 and I am fairly happy. Being this close to season and not having the dies for it yet I am stuck using factory ammo. I refuse to pay the prices they are asking for the premium loads so I have limited myself to the basics....corelokts...

Good luck and be careful! i have often thought that it would be exciting to hunt in grizzly country, but I can honestly say I have no desire to hunt in drug smuggling country! Such a shame that beautiful country like that can't be enjoyed by people because of criminals.

Man I am jealous of you guys! Hopefully someday I will make it out there to chase some western big game. Be careful heading out .280 Remington! And don't forget the camera!

Ya know....everyone is offering their sympathies for the crappy trip and though I do feel your pain on that looking at those pictures I envy you. Even a crappy trip there is much better than the places I hunt! I would have been really tempted never to come out.

One additional question for those that currently or have in the past owned one.....Does the forward swivel screw in to the stock? Thats what it looks like to me but on the parts schematic it looks like it fits into the stock not screws in.

Ok, picked the rifle up tonight...finally! The gun is in better shape than I thought in some ways and worse in others. The good: The stock is in fairly good shape. It needs to be refinished, but other than possibly losing some checkering (if I do it myself of course) it should come out good...

I was just reading last night that the .358's did not sell when they were released. The story I read said that Winchester even went so far as to allow gun shops that had them just sitting on the shelf could send them in to be re barreled in one of the other more popular calibers. This is...

Can't disagree with you there. It seems odd how some sell and some don't sometimes for no reason that I can see. I think the key is setting no reserve and keeping your starting price low to get people bidding, but you are taking a chance on selling the gun for too cheap. I had someone try to...

Around here RL is more common than anything. I did happen across some h4350 a few weeks back though. The RL17 has me pretty happy with the GMX's, but still wanna play with the partitions. Had a death in the family last week so haven't had a chance to mess around with it at all....hopefully...

There isn't much love for the 88 on GunBroker right now. Don't know if the asking prices or what, but very few bids on the ones that are for sale. That might put a hurting on my refinishing mine and selling it to buy a 99.

I keep reading that the 88 in .308 has a stout recoil, but no one ever mentions the .358 being bad. I would think that both the .358 and possibly the .284 would kick more than a .308. I do like the looks of the 88's but nothing is more beautiful than a 99. Depending on the exact shape of the...

Found out tonight that I am the winning bidder on an 88 in .308. They gun isn't in the best of shape but the action and bore are solid from what the seller has told me. The barrel is rusted up and the stock has seen better days. The plan is to start a refinishing project on the rifle and at...

I have read through the bullet test section and David and I have discussed the Remington 600 in the past. He is definitely a knowledgeable guy on the cartridge and rifle we both shoot. I am not positive on the velocities because I am out of town right now and do not have the data in front of...
