I had a Remington Sendero in 25-06 -- great rifle. It was extremely accurate and a ball to shoot. I kept it for 5-6 years, during which time it was my primary coyote and varmint rifle. As much fun as it was, I traded it off because the muzzle blast and barrel jump made it tough to see bullet...

Great description (and I guess it doesn't suprise me). I've spent a lot of time around coyotes and probably shot more than my fair share, but as far a I can tell the wolf is in a whole different league when it comes to wariness. They are managed as a "big game" animal here in Idaho so we're...

I wish I knew more about wolf habits and their travel patterns -- I probably need to fix that if I want to get serious about hanging a wolf pelt on my wall as the "being in the right place at the right time" approach isn't working very well for me. I've been very surprised at when and where...

Enjoy the chase with the camera. They can be challenging critters to find and even more challenging to get one to hold still long for more than an instant. On average, I've seen 1-2 a year for the past 15 years and only 1 out of those numbers would have afforded a shot with a rifle or camera...

It's looking like 50 mm objective models (2-10x or 4-20x) are the smallest you're going to find available for a bit.

I had a similar problem getting a scope to fit well on a Mauser action rifle because of the 90 degree bolt throw. Spent a little quality time with a grinder, some emory cloth, and polishing compound to take some meat out of the bolt handle, and haven't given it a second thought since. Works...

If anyone's in the market, it looks like scopes from Leica's ER-5 line are just now becoming available. Euro-Optics appears to have some of the 50 and 56-mm objective models on hand and for a great sale price. (Unfortunately for me, their 24, 32, and 42 mm objective models haven't hit the...

Very cool -- nice find!

If you're interested in a .22 Hi-Power, I ran across one not too long ago in Sandpoint for sale... First one I'd seen that I remember.

The maiden voyage to the shooting bench went pretty well. The trigger on this 99 is quite a bit better than my other 99, but still leaves a bit to be desired and is going to take some getting used to before I know how much of the scatter in my shots is rifle and how much is me. All in all...

I found and bought a second Savage 99 this summer (.308 featherweight, rotary mag) for a project rifle. I really like the 99's for hunting in the brush and thick timber (which represents 90% of my hunting now) and they are my favorite rifle to carry and shoulder, so this rifle will probably get...

Outstanding! My daughter (12) is my favorite hunting partner, and has been now for a couple years. Girls bring a sense of wonderment back into hunting, and a little common sense that sometimes lacks when I hunt by myself. (A couple years ago we were whitetail hunting in late November, and it...

I'm getting better than 0.5 MOA out of every type of Hornady factory ammo I've put thru my 6.5 CM -- I'd pick one of their factory loads that they've coupled with the style of bullet you like for hunting, and start there.

Chiming in late, but will do it anyway. If you wanted to add a 30 cal rifle to your arsenal and are a reloader, I'd recommend you buy that TC Icon in a heartbeat. I've got an Icon in 6.5 Creedmoor, and would buy another Icon w/o hesitation. (In fact, if I ever choose to buy another recent...

I have to believe that Remington would have gotten more than 1 measly vote if their list were revised to include the .223, .25-06, and 7mm mag.

Here's a pretty good thread we had last summer on packs. https://forum.nosler.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=33859 I used a Seek Outside Revolution pack all last fall and really, really liked it. You can tailor it to fit extremely well, and it's very versatile.

They're pretty hard not to like. I grew up carrying and hunting with one (another 308.) After owning and hunting with a variety of different rifles over the years, I haven't found any that I enjoy as much, so decided I need another one since my first one has been claimed by my daughter. Will...

Thanks.

I'm bringing this thread back to life. Have been pondering the exact same conversion (.308 to .358 in the Savage 99) and finally found the donor rifle I've been looking for. With 2 hunting seasons under your belt, what are your thoughts on the rifle you worked over, and what have been your...

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I don't care if it's in a public forum post or a PM, if there's someone out there targeting anyone else with some ill-intended crap, I'd prefer that the offender be tossed/blackballed. No warnings, no second chances. Send a copy of the offensive post/PM to a...
