Ditto on the BH209. Pricey but worth it.

I am currently mentoring a friend who purchased a Nosler Long Range Rifle a couple months ago in 300 Win Mag. He has completed the break-in and only shot factory ammo through it. It took a few tries to find some ammo that it liked. It does meet the accuracy guarantee with Nosler Factory Accubond...

I would like to offer some opinions on this topic as I have owned, still own, and have killed deer with both calibers. My choice is the 7-08 for a lightweight carrying type hunting rifle. A medium action and a 22" barrel will get you a nice rifle and about all the practical barrel length that...

Thanks for asking Lefty. No, I didn't buy a Knight. I have a problem buying rifles that I haven't put my hands on in a store or on the range first. We have a Cabela's, Scheels, and Guns Unlimited here in Omaha and nobody stocks them. In the process of my research on the Muzzleloading Forums, I...

Thanks Lefty, I am a Veteran and have a VA card, along with life membership in the DAV. I'll check it out.

I am thinking about getting an inline muzzleloader to extend my deer season. Rifle season here in NE is just one week and I would like to be able to hunt longer. When I lived in PA, they had a Primitive Muzzleloader deer season after Christmas that was fun. However they required flintlock and...

I can’t begin to say how much this topic strikes a sensitive chord in me. This concept creates conflict every time hunting season arrives and I go to the cabinet to prepare rifles. The Hunter and Rifleman in me wants to grab the synthetic stocked, stainless barreled, performance rifles. The...

Those are fascinating rifles. I looked at their website to determine if the mount screws were 8-40 VS the industry standard 6-48. What are they? I'm looking forward to seeing how it groups.

That is a Wichita rest that is no longer made. Probably the closest today is the Hart JB100.

Testing for all of my sporting rifles is done from the bench, supported by a front tripod rest that has a leather sand filled bag. The buttstock is supported by a rear bag filled with sand. I wear a rifle shooters coat for several reasons. It provides stability and support behind the rifle and...

SJB358: The rifle weighs 8#2oz with a Leupold 2.5x8 in Talleys. I keep looking at the Outfitter in 338 WM. That barrel length for the 338 is ideal IMHO. The two factors holding me back are the trigger and the mounts. Nosler uses the Rem 700 footprint bases with 6-48's. H-S precision also uses...

To close on my review, I would like to report the accuracy and final evaluation of the Nosler 48 Heritage 7-08. Attached are four targets which are representative of the precision that I was able to achieve with this rifle. Note that the test distance was 110 or 114 yards. These are all five...

That's more like it. Looks like you got a good one. It would be interesting to see a couple of 5-shot groups from each of the 5 Montana's shown in HomerOz's post. That would be a better statistical sampling. Once bitten, twice shy. As pretty as I think that they are, the only way I would invest...

Quoted accuracy and precision should be supported by a credible statistical sampling. One 3-shot 1/2 moa is not proof of any claim. If you believe 3-shot groups are a better method for sporters, shoot 10 consecutive 3-shot groups and report that aggregate. Similarly, the user sampling of...

I have had several Kimbers over the years, starting with two from Kimber of Oregon. Even the Oregon rifles had some QC problems. In 2010, I bought a Montana in 223 that was a terrible rifle. My experience with their customer service was unacceptable and parallels what has previously been said in...

The F-T/R F-Class rules require your rifle caliber to be 308 Win or 223/5.56. So, it is going to be a 308. I've seen some stellar scores shot with 223's but they don't do as well in the wind. The F-Open class allows any caliber under 35. The 284 Win and it's variants are dominating F-Open. I...

I'm quite the 7mm fan so I have bullets from 120 through 175 grain in Nosler, Sierra, Hornady and Barnes in inventory. For this rifle, I am going to work up loads with Nosler 140 Accubonds & BT's and Barnes TTSX 140's. I have I4350, H4350 and W760 in quantities so those will be the first tries...

Thanks guys. I still haven't had a chance to shoot this rifle. Winter has landed on us here in Omaha. My club range is roofed however it is open to the wind. Trying to use patches and solvents for the break-in would be quite a challenge. I'm about to throw together break-in loads in some Nosler...
