I bought several boxes of 180 grain Norma Bondstrike to sight in my Winchester Model 70 in 300 WSM that I'll be using on an upcoming elk hunt. I initially bought this brand because it was relatively cheap (a great sale at the time of purchase) and I wanted to get comfortable and confident with...
I like my 33 Nosler, but I'm glad to have opted for a long eye-relief scope. The recoil without a muzzle brake when shooting off a bench will catch your attention, which I don't mind, but I'm always wary of being "kissed" by my scope.
I have 4 of them...
264 Win Mag
7mm Rem Mag
300 H&H
375 H&H
I'll go with 300 H&H for the win, in part because the rifle in which I have this cartridge is a real peach (Cooper Jackson Game with a Leupold VX6)
Agreed. My favorite whitetail deer rifle is a Rem 700 LSS in 7MM SAUM. It's everything I want for the type of hunting I do with it.
BTW, I just joined the .338 club (a formerly missing caliber for me) with a new Cooper Excalibur - a worthy candidate for my upcoming elk hunt. I (kind of) had...
I have some nice Brownings, Winchesters, and Remingtons. My Coopers are simply on a different level in terms of fit and finish, trigger pull, and accuracy. It can hard (not impossible - LOL) to justify the new prices I'm seeing from a purely rational perspective. But who ever said that buying...
I love my Cooper rifles! I'm fortunate to have gorgeous Model 52s in both 264 Win Mag and (my favorite rifle) 300 H&H. I've been thinking about adding another to my collection, but the new ownership there seems to have initiated quite the price hike. Rifles that retailed for around $3000 just...
I have no current plans to sell that rifle, Dan, but I'll keep you in mind if anything changes. Thanks for letting me know of your possible interest.

What a great rifle and caliber combination! Congratulations. I have a BLR in 284 Winchester that I love, but it's a safe queen - less than one box of ammo through it to sight it in. Nice Leupold scope, too. Unfortunately, 284 ammo is practically impossible to find, certainly at any...
