Yup, that design is close enough to be interesting. Hope that they expand the style to more offerings.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome and kind comments. I really appreciate this forum because of the orientation to "common sense" hunting rifles. You guys get it. Thanks again. Fred

Thanks guys. I certainly love the esthetics of this rifle. I don't think that the mechanics will disappoint with the attention to detail that this rifle displays. It's going to be tough wading through the break-in procedure to get to load development. But I will observe the recommendation. :grin:

The Heritage has arrived. In a word, I am pleased. Short of shooting it, it has met my expectations and objectives in a hunting rifle. With a 2.5x8 Leupold in Talley’s, it weighs 8#2ozs. The balance of this pairing is perfect. I don’t know if it was by design, but the ring spacing of the Talleys...

Hodgeman, I have always stayed away from Reloader powders because of temperature sensitivity. My best shooting buddy used to use them and had taken good statistical data throughout the seasons to prove that they are temperature sensitive. You are in a region where extremes are the norm. Do you...

For the 7-08, I’m partial to 140’s but will try some 150’s. Not interested in going lighter. Actually, I wish that there were some good 160 gr RN’s available to play with. Will try all of the Nosler offerings, some Barnes and maybe Sierra if nothing stunning happens with the Nosler’s. I’ve had...

Like I said, HATE the wait! Buying from pictures only go so far. Need to lay eyes and hands on it. I've always been a 7mm nut. When I started culling the cabinet I had a hunting rifle in 7mmBR, 7mm-08, 280 Rem, 7x57 and 7mm Rem Mag. Never really got into the "Ultra" case capacity craze. I could...

JD that figure in your 280 AI is stunning. I'd have bought that one just for the wood. The Heritage that I bought isn't close to yours as far as color and figure. I'll get pictures when it arrives. I hate the waiting. Patience is not one of my virtues. I have a good 300 Win Mag and also a 7mm...

Just purchased a Nosler 48 Heritage in 7mm-08. It should be delivered within a week. My quest for a wood stocked 8# hunting rifle ended with the decision to buy a short action Nosler 48 Heritage, after considerable thought. Caliber was not as important as the character of the rifle. I had...

Nice Muley Greg. I'd love to shoot one like that. Good to hear that the 338 Fed has a following.

Congratulations to Megan and Dad for being a great father. The future of our sport is with sons AND daughters. Girls hunting turn into mothers that encourage and support their children in the outdoors.

It was 5 o’clock and I had just decided to stay in my stand until dark. I was in a tree stand overlooking a wooded bottom flat, adjacent to farm fields. The deer first appeared trotting along the fence line in the field to the West. He was heading North and appeared to be the same deer that I...

The current models on the Nosler Rifle line are the Heritage, Patriot and Outfitter. Previously there was the Trophy Grade. How does the Trophy Grade compare to the current models? I am seriously considering a 35 Whelen. I just killed a buck with my 338 Federal and 185 TSX’s, which was an...

Thanks for the pictures and the feedback. I like the 'slim through the grip' comment. The grip radius and profile make or break a stock for me. I have always liked McMillian Classics and H-S for this reason. The Cooper stocks by B&C don't feel comfortable to me. These Montana's are a very nice...

I'm glad to see a company like this make it. The only addition that I would make to their designs is an integral dovetail aka Ruger/Sako. I hope that the mount screws are 8-40, although they are probably 6-48 to take Model 70 factory mounts. These rifles look like the poorman's H-S Precision at...

Not sure what caliber. Probably an X2. Either 260, 7-08, or 6.5 Creedmoor. Their twist in the 6.5 are a little slow. I would prefer 1-8" to shoot 140's. I'm more interested in hearing about general quality and accuracy. If they had a classic style laminated wood stock, I could be interested in...

Anyone on here have any experience with these rifles? Have you had one in your hands? Seems like a lot of dollar value for the price point.

Dr. Mike, thanks for the welcome. What I see in this forum that I like is the orientation to hunting rifles. More specifically, traditional styled rifles, meant to be carried. I've inserted a photo of my 338 Federal. It's a Sako L-579 in a McMillian Sako Classic pattern stock with a 21"...

Has anyone on here done load development for the 338 Federal? If so, what was the most accurate powder(s)? I'm interested in bullet weights from 180 to 210 grains. Thanks
