I'm going to leave this Classic in 30-06, no rechambering to Ackley/Sherman/Gibbs (sorely tempted to? Sure!) I just want a good solid '06 in a Classic Stocked Mod 700. It will go nicely with my Mod 700 300 wby!

Yeah! Gent wrote that the Classic is on its way, should get it by the 23rd! Hot Dog!

Well...I found a nice Mod 700 Classic in 30-06 up in Montana. Very reasonable price is why I jumped on it. Reason is, it should still be a Sporter weight ( I have had many, nice balance between heavy/light, for me anyway.) I have only hunted with ONE Kimber, an 84M Classic, back around 20+ years...

Sold it next day to a fellow Elk Hunter over in Oregon! We are both Happy! The day before, I checked on a Local AD for a tricked out (heavier synthetic, Parkerized Metal) Model 700 in 300 WBY. He needed money and when he told me it was still Sporter Weight, we made a deal! I had sold the...

Thanks for the appreciation for the rifle guys, but I just couldn't hold it as steady as I needed. So I'm back to Sporter/Sporter Mag weights! lol At 71 and bolted together, it takes me "a bit" to get into the Sitting Position. ha

( I apologize, I had this rifle priced wrong, fixed it) I decided to sell this rifle . its just too light for me to hold still. I did shoot a big Cow elk last week around 150yds though. I'm going back to Standard Weights. Let me tell you what I have: Rifle started out as a 338/06 A-Square. I...

After thinking about it this weekend, I decided to sell the little Wby Mark V ULwt. Just too light for me to hold still from a hunting position ( or something that slight resembles a Sit Position, ha) Check out my AD in Classifieds....

I remember Col. Charles Askins hunting a Polar Bear with the then new 7mm RM and the factory 175 clkt. He said something that just seemed to strike a note in me! He was gifted the rifle/hunt in order for him to do a story on it. He really preferred the 8mm over anything (absolutely hated the...

Nice catch BlkRam! (and be careful driving home, (assuming you are on The Road?) As you may know, Utah is Browning Country (may as well say 7mm Rem Mag Country too, very popular here!) That 155 TA sounds interesting, and I read some very good reviews of it on Game.

Fortunately, he had just recently put a new Decelerator on it! I like that brand, plus LimbSavers too. Remington's stock design actually fits me very well as far as handling recoil. The wrist could be more Open, as I have big hands, but its OK. If I do stick with the 155 Scenar-L and 154 HHT...

Its a three port, wide, perpendicular holes i.e. like an arty brake. I've used them for decades, very efficient and "quiet" if you are doing the shooting! ha

Speaking of which...I saw another deal in the paper, so cancelled the work on the Vanguard, picked it up from the Smith and sold it ,sans mounts/scope. Put a bit of money with that proceed and bought an older , 24" Mod 700 BDL in 300Wby. Older gent having health issues wanted to sell off his elk...

Thanks guys! Me and the Lord have been Hunting/shooting buddies as far back as I can remember! ha As long as I keep Mt 6:33 before me, I get a little time off now and then! lol I have a great Assoc Pastor and another Ministry friend (traveling minister) who cover for me.

Took the 338 RPM with the factory 185 TTSX load cow elk hunting. Last Sunday AM (hey, I "normally work" every Sunday, I can take one off! ha) Anyhow, we got into them and at 160yds, my first shot went almost too high. She went about 90yds and lay down. I jumped her up and around 50yds away gave...

I remember reading about the Model 7600/270 Win in a gun magazine, seems like the late 70's or early 80's. anyhow, it shot some very tiny groups! The article was saying how well it competed with a good bolt gun.

I usually seat the Barnes and the Hammers at the top groove anyhow. Great accuracy and plenty fast. Although, if I end up wanting to shoot one alot I would probably hunt down a Model 700 Classic in 300 Wby. 1. I really like the Classic. 2. Can put a Trigger Tech on it. 3. Heavy enough to shoot...

I'm going to wait until after my cow hunt to mess with it very much. I hope to learn alot about the 300 wby, never owned one! I have used the 300 WSM, the 300 WM (have shot the majority of my big animals with it an monos) and the 300 RUM. The RUM, while great, I didn't hang on to as I am not a...

Thanks Doc! I have some 168 TTSX on hand, but thought I would start out with some 150 Sierra PH I have, for coyotes/plinking rocks out in the desert. See if this rifle wants to shoot. If the rifle shows promise, I'll step up to Barnes or Hammers.

Sheboygin! lol Have you killed anything with them yet?
