Seems so many of us were influenced by the early writers....JOC. Makes me wonder in the age of the internet, YouTube videos, etc....some many people listing content, some good, some pretty bad....what will influence this generation. The PRC calibers have certainly made an impact, but...

Tikka's are 22 from the factory. Didn't chrono before. Agreed that no game, mostly deer and bear, will know the difference. With a suppressor, the barrel length will be essentially back to factory length, but quite and less recoil. This is truly one of those, the rifle is sitting in the...

Having a Tikka 7mm-08 cut and threaded at 17 inches. Want to play with a short barrel with a suppressor. I understand some cartridges benefit from AI (280AI') and some it just doesn't matter. Planning on losing about 25 FPS with the barrel cut. What about trying to offset this with an AI...

I have also enjoyed the 338 Federal for years. Found the 185 TSX with a stiff load of TAC shoot very well in my Sako and Tikka. The chrono shows 2745 fps. Multiple black bears take with this load and they tend to not go very far!!!! Just this month, I have been experimenting with 200 gr AB...

It is in great condition. Won't give away as would rather keep

Really nice Winchester 100 in 284 Metal and wood in really nice condition. I have owned for years and shot it once. It was a sentimental purchase years ago, but beyond that now Will include mount and rings and one box of factory ammo. The scope pictured is NOT included. $900 shipped

Anybody have some 6.5 cal 130 gr ABs that need a better home. Promise to take them backpacking in October.

If a can is legal hunting in your area, might consider that in the length.

Midway has seconds of these for a decent price. Looking for a range bullet for 300-400 yds practice in my 280AI. Have a 150 E-tip load for hunting that shoots great. Any other "cheap" 7mm bullets for moderate range work people suggest. Accurate and cheap preferred.

I have used shooting sticks for years. Sitting position, leaned against something and been very successful. Can also use your backpack the the "third leg" to support your chest when sitting. Prone seems challenging with the terrain I am mostly in. This year started to use trekking poles...

I took a bear there a couple years ago. Was walking up the bottom road and he was moving up the hillside. This afternoon I decided that I didn't have time to relocate, so sat until dark. Nothing appeared, have had multiple elk come through this area in the pass. Western OR bears like the...

What do people think...... Was out looking for spring bears....went to a place where I know there are bears, water down below and timber behind. Lots of grass along the closed dirt road. I hiked upon the backside hill and was 95 to 160 yds above the area I was watching. It was a 35 degree...

I have a couple Marlin 375s years ago. Sold them.....big oops. Still have the dies, brass and plenty of bullets Everything Marlin is crazy priced. Have a Marlin 336 sitting in the safe. JES Reboring is about 2 hrs away and will be driving by in a couple weeks as I go bear hunting. Keep...

I thought I scored on some Nosler 100 gr CC, ordered them two days ago from SPS, they are arriving tomorrow. Just looked back at the SPS website and realized they are 6.5 cal. Oops Back to the drawing board in trying to find the Hornady 105's !!

Resurrecting an old thread. Wanting to try shooting some longer range stuff (500-600 yds) Tried to convince myself to by a new rifle, but I have Rem 700 VLS in 243 with the barrel cut to 20 inches. The Rem shoots great at 200-300 yds with 80 and 85 gr Sierras. Sounds like I need to find...

Great hearing everyone stories and thoughts about the 7 Mag.

Over the years, like many other, I have owned a lot of rifles in a variety of calibers. Some of the rifles have changed, but there has been some consistency in calibers. But never a rifle in 7 mm mag, not even briefly. I recognize the ballistics are great for a do all rifle. Now days, my...

Short mag Don't have pictures with me. Here is one more that I found on my phone. Can post a whole stock picture on the weekend

I picked up this rifle a few months ago. M48 in 300 WSM. The stock appears to be a carbon fiber, but NOT from Nosler. I called and spoke with the Nosler people. Stock weighs 24-25 ozs. There are no manufacture markings on the stock. Anyone have an idea who might have made it? Great...

I used RL-7 with good groups. Still have tons of components, but sold my Marlins. Might have to resolve that this spring
