Physical Therapist said it will take about a year for the Periodical pain to subside and the rest of the shoulder to "adjust for" the missing mucle strength. I am soooo missing a good 300WM or 338 Win Mag! My "favorite" was the 338 RUM or 340 Wby! I the last two with a Brake, and even then you...

I have used 338 Marlin Express 338 Federal 338/280 338/06 338/06 Ackley 338 RCM 338 Win Mag 340 Wby 338 RUM I loved them all but would have to say, for elk/elk size the 340 Wby and 338 RUM were my favorites. For easy, you can't beat the 338 Fed (338/08) and 338/06. The 338 Win Mag is just a...

Thanks for the reply Wes, I sold it . I didn't even try it. I'm glad I did. I shot my unbraked Mod 700 Classic in 30-06/200NPY with a Limbsaver Pad and while it is very tolerable, the "accumulated" recoil ( I even used a Past Recoil Shield) left me very sore. Thankfully, I can't injure my...

Well, another friend talked me into getting another 7mm Rem Mag instead of another .270! I settled on a new Bergara B14 Hunter, having it braked with a Gentry Quiet Brake, just wanted to try them. Just left it at the Smith last week for a TT Special, skim bed and the brake. Then. yesterday and...

Thanks gentlemen, I appreciate it.

Well , my Mod 700 Classic '06 is ready at the Smith's. I also received the B14 Hunter 7 RM, will drop it off Saturday when I pick up the '06. I was headed there yesterday with it and to p/u the '06, when I got one of those Pastoral ER Calls. One of my best friends/supporters/Church member had a...

Thank you Sir! Very informative, and I agree with you on the tenacity of any elk!

Blkram...of those Tripods, if you were going to jump out of a truck, set up the tripod to take an elk 250yds out, as quickly as you could so as to get a shot off, would you be OK with the rifle "saddle" tripod or the one that clamps the rifle and has the ball swivel to turn the rifle? I have...

Thanks chief! I will definitely check on that. I just bought/received that Garmin chrony, got my Walker Game Ear bud "Silencer 2s", my 30-06 is almost ready and the 7mm Mag I should get this week. ( Takes awhile from New Hampshire to Utah! ha) I'm going to have it skim bedded and a TT Special...

Do I lose money, well, yeah. Not too much, its enough i feel its worth the "investment" for my Life's enjoyment/experience! I have far fewer hunts ahead of me than I did 50 yrs ago! So I just serve the Lord, love my wife, still hate fishing/golf, and enjoy my...

I agree with your sir! ha I never keep more than 2-3 rifles on hand. If I want another I'll trade/sell to get into it. Works for me, Life is Short! ha

Well, well, well! I couldn't stand it, I called and swapped my caliber choice for the new Bergara from .270 ( I just can't get away from the Siren Call of that Kimber 84L if I'm going to shoot a 270!) to try another 7mm Rem mag. I used them and other 7mms for decades, but its been years since my...

Nice rifles there Uncle Blkram! After scoping the Vanguard .270, it felt pretty heavy, kinda "sluggish" in my hands. I felt it was a tad "too" heavy, so sold it. I decided to get another Bergara B14 Hunter .270. I can have a Trigger Tech put in it, they come Pillar Bedded. I still like them...

You bethcha! ha

Well, before I could cancel my for sale Ad, a Dad wanted it for his young adult son! I sold it! Last minute too, I was just about to take it "back" to my Smith! He makes ( I have used them since the late '90s) a 3 Port 90 deg Baffle type. Its very effective. I like them on varmint/coyote rifle...

Well, last minute Text from a fellow in Michigan that wants it for his son (young adult)! Working on that now.

I'm taking the rifle back over to my smith. He makes/installs I have had on other big boomers, from Varmint Rifles to elephants guns. Its a 90 deg, 3 Port Baffle type. If that isn't enough ( and I'm sticking with the 165-168 TTSX to start) then I'll try a different type.

I'm just not ready to "accept" too much limitations on this shoulder. I'm going to have a good brake put on this 300 Wby and give it a chance. I have electric ears, so don't care really how loud it will be. Don't care if someone believes " I'm overgunned by "having" to brake it either"! :)

Changed my mind, gonna keep it for now. I'm not ready to just "accept" my shoulder limitation. I'm going to try a good muzzlebrake first. I have electric ears, that always helps.

Yes, I'm still checking around, asking questions. Its been over 23 yrs since I played with the 40 Cals and above. Back then I had a "maybe" opportunity in South Africa to cull a Buffalo and maybe take a lioness. It didn't work out. I played with several , I like them all, but heaviest I...
