When my daughter was first using the 260 i loaded some reduced loads with h4895 and hornady 129gr interlock, they shot very well. Rifle was a ruger m77mkii that i cut the barrel down, i think 17in, and put in a ruger compact stock. With the lower velocities i wouldn't spend the extra on an...
Specificly for hunting, What do you have? What do you like, what have you learned? What do you ultimately use?
I think this evolves with everyone and depends on hunting style, location, and game, I know it has for me.
I will start by where and what I hunt, most all of my hunting is in Montana...
Welcome aboard, always nice to welcome a Sako fan.
What's your 7-08? The Benchmark could work well in that, you can look at the load data at Hodgdon and see if it will get to the velocity you want.
Another question is what are you planning to hunt?
I know there are some 7RM fans that will be...
Its been a long time since i have done serious 22lr shooting, but if i remeber correctly you wanted to put almost a full 10 fouling rounds through when ever you switched ammo type before looking at a group. Not sure it was really needed but just something to keep in mind if you get that test...
I have an At-one for Ruger Americans I've had it on a couple rifles with no fit issues but its pretty blocky/squared off, works fine at the range but not too comfortable for hunting.
I had it on a predator in 260, now its on the 556 ranch
Couple old pics, I did make my own trigger guard
If you...
Well if you are worried about protection from coyotes I would assume it is close range and a 22 mag would be fine. But my guess is they will turn and run the other direction before its out of the holster, like Paul said.
Looking to sell my Zeiss 15x binos. 2 years old, only been in the actual field probably once or twice, mostly just used from the truck antelope hunting. Will come with everything including box and tripod adaptor. $1200 shipped

I thought the CZ was from the "no chewing" jar 🤔 haha😄
I have a pocket full bonus money but still enough will power not to go the a local gun show over the weekend, figured i wouldn't find anything i needed but plenty i would want. Some new optics are tempting me.
Unrelated i think I have the...
Ones that I havent hunted and might take this year are my new to me S&W 657 41mag, and m94 375win.
The ones I've hunted but still not blooded so may take out are my Sako85 in 30-06, and Ruger no. 1 in 243.
Its just hard not to grab the 260(I do need to work up a new load), or 264wm.
I may also...
I sent out inquiries lastnight to a couple outfitters. Asked about rifle rental, availability, and how early you need to reserve. Next will be convincing the wife its a good idea, daughter is all for it.
Has anyone hunted Hawaii? The family have been talking about going to Hawaii for vacation for years and we naver have made it. Anyway with the youngest graduating this year its probably time we quit talking and actually do it. Kinda leaning towards Maui and while looking at things to do I...
