The 240 is the other Wby I have always been intrigued to try...the 270 being my favourite so far. There is a nice Rem 700 in 240 Wby for sale here in Canada that has been piquing my interest for a couple of weeks, but with the African trip in May looming, I have not pulled the trigger, so to...

Sorry, I'm a Dodge man...so cannot help you here... All I would say is check on the reviews, as I have read that the Chevy engine is one of the worst rated engines available in a pickup right now, as rated by the mechanics who work on them... I too have downgraded to a degree...no longer have...

As for the 7mm PRC, it is so close to the 7mm Rem Mag, which I really like and enjoyed owning and shooting over the years and do not currently have, that I had to play with one in a 24" barreled version when I could. So far, I am enjoying shooting this cartridge and rifle (a LH Fierce Carbon...

Since we are not allowed suppressors here in Canada, a 7 magnum with a 20” barrel has no appeal for me. I have been perfectly happy with the 7mm Rem Mag’s performance. I had no desire for the STW and would not have went there except that the rifle, a customized LH Sako for $800 that weighed 7...

Even stainless steel can rust if not wiped down after being out in the wet weather, or travelling home in a damp rifle case. As with most metals, it must be cared for properly and promptly to prevent corrosion. Don't forget to remove the stock and wipe down the rest of the metal too.

Those that voted Conservative did just that... Unfortunately, those of liberal and new democratic mindsets outnumbered the conservative voters. Here in Canada, approximately 1 million gun owners out of a population of over 40 million.

Congrats on a nice buck! And taken with a classic cartridge! I recall an article back in the mid 90's that claimed that the 6.5 x 55 Swede was the best whitetail cartridge out there! It has been a favourite of mine for 30 years, and the centerfire cartridge I have the most trigger time...

Better make sure your knives are sharp! Best of luck on your adventure!

QuickLoad suggests that you should be safe (64,000 psi in a modern action) with up to 66.5 gr of H4831SC with a 160 gr AccuBond (so safe for the Ballistic Tip) in a 24" barrel for 3014 fps (3072 fps in a 26" barrel). If you have an older action, than up to 65.5 gr for 61,000 psi as per SAAMI...

I had my pre-81 BLR in 358 Win out on the weekend. With the upgrade to the VX-R 2-7x33, the new 30mm QRW rings weren't allowing me to adjust the windage far enough to the right. A little machining by the gunsmith fixed the problem and I have her sighted in again with the Hornady 200 gr SP...

Congrats to both on the nice stags!

Congrats on your excellent adventure!

The young meat caribou bull I got yesterday was taken with my new-to-me LH Browning X Bolt All Weather in 308 Win. The ammo was Federal's 175 gr Terminal Ascent that is doing 2570 fps out of the 22" barrel. The shot was double lung at 76 yards and completely passed though the animal. I have yet...

With his accuracy, and that load, when that buck shows up, that deer is in a heap of trouble! Better show that young lad how to sharpen his knives, cause he can definitely shoot!

Some great suggestions above... But as also asked, it would depend on your goals with your new rifle and cartridge combination...deer and bear...moose...elk? The quarter bores (25 cals are fun to shoot) perform well and are easy on the shoulder, as is the 6.5 CM and 7mm-08. If you want to stick...

Got out again today... Got a few more spruce hens, a ruffie, and a sharptail with the 28 ga today. Lots of birds! Got a nice young caribou bull for meat, amd while field dressing it, saw two more about a quarter mile away; one a very nice bull with a beautiful white main. Once we had him taken...

I get 2855 fps with the 130 gr Terminal Ascent ammunition in my rifle's 24" Benchmark 5R barrel (LH Browning X Bolt All Weather). My rifle loves this ammo! It will produce 3 shot groups of 0.291" at 100 yards. My Winchester 1885 High Wall in 6.5 CM also likes this ammo. It produces 2911 fps out...

It's the Sporting 28, and has a very beautiful stock. It has been a pleasure to own and shoot this shotgun over the years, and we have taken our fair share of grouse with it. It does belong to the wife now, that she has laid claim to it. I should have taken my Benelli Ethos in 28 ga along...

"6.5 Bleedmoor" That is the second time I've heard someone refer to the Creedmoor as the Bleedmoor. (to be honest, I am still not sure if it was meant to be sarcastic or not.) The first was our guide in NZ when we arrived for our 2023 red stag, fallow buck and Arapawa ram hunt. She did mention...
