    Strange find in 7600 Rem!

    WOW that brings back memories. Grew up in northern Minnesota back in the 60s - 70s. First time I could leave the farm yard and go with my grandpa hunting was in '72. He still carried a Sav 99 but my uncles and cousins all carried the Rem pump and autos - 30-06 of course. I think one uncle...

    Lenard Brownell 7 Rem Mag

    That is such a good looking rifle. Brings back memories of the days when "all" rifles were wood. I remember in those days I sanded and refinished a handfull of stocks to bring out the beauty of walnut and maple. Kinda makes me a little nostalgic of the times.

    Homestead Elk Harvest

    That's the way to do it ! Right in back yard! Where I'm living in Idaho I've only packed out bulls in back country hunts. All the cows we shoot (as I say "in the back yard"), we can take out whole or in half on a wheeler. Sometimes with a tractor ! Cow elk has been our "red meat" for a few...

    Christianson Rifles

    I've got 3 Ridgelines. 2 of them shoot under MOA the other is still in box. The thinner wrist of the stock takes some getting used to. I've read online about issues like those above but have not experienced them myself. So far I have no buyers remorse.

    Effectiveness of the 35 Remington.

    My grandfather hunted with a 35 Rem for many years. It was that or his 300 SAV in a 99 for the last 30 years he hunted. I had a Marlin 336 in a 35 Rem for a few years and then let it go. I wish I wouldn't have done that. I do have a Sav 99 in a 300Sav that I think I will carry for a few...

    95 gr Ballistic tip or 100 gr Partition for deer out of the 243?

    We have been using 243 with both bullets for many years. If in heavy cover lean towards the PT, For everything else either one is fine. I personally use the 95 BT in mine. The 95BT has a tapered jacket. Look at the photo. It mushrooms and hangs together surprisingly well. I've been very...

    Swarovski z5 3.5-18x44 BT

    I own two of the Swarovski 3.5-18x44 BT. One with the turret you are purchasing. Very happy with scopes. Just remember it's only one turn of the turret. Great for a hunting rifle.

    338 Cal Range Day

    That 338 Federal has all ways been a favorite since they came out. Deer and Elk probably don't like them so much. My groups with my Sako has always been in the 1" - 2" . I'm now working loads for a Sav 16 and it is more promising.
