As a general rule of thumb will fully bedding the action in a fiberglass stock on a bolt action rifle improve accuracy? Are there different types of bedding and if so what is the preferred method? What are the pro's and con's to bedding an action? Is there any potential downside to bedding the...

I have a Weatherby Mark V Accumark shipping to me next month chambered in 7mm PRC. I see Nosler has 7mm PRC long range ammo using 175 grain Accubonds. Very interested in this ammo and would like to know if anybody has used it for elk hunting and if so can you share your perspective and...

I am planning a Wyoming Elk hunt for 2026. I need to be prepared to take shots out to 600 yards. I am looking at a 7mm PRC and 28 Nosler. I would appreciate your thoughts on the best caliber and rifle choices.

Just picked up a 7mm PRC for an elk hunt I am planning for 2025. I Also picked up some Hornady Outfitter ammo loaded with 160 grain CX bullets. I have had good luck with Barnes bullets but have not used the CX. I would love to hear people's real-life experiences with the 160 grain CX bullets on...

Just picked up a new Tikka T3 in 6.5 PRC. Looking at ammo and I am curious about the 143 grain Norma Bondstrikes. Does anyone have any real world hunting experience with this bullet you can share? I like that they are a bonded bullet and the BC is very high at .629.

I am mounting a new scope on my Weatherby Mark V Accumark in 300 WBY and cannot decide if I should go with a picatinny rail or direct mounts. The scope is a Leupold VX6-HD 3-18 x 50mm. One option is to mount a steel picatinny rail and then use PRW2 rings or something similar. I like this method...

When mounting a new scope is it critical to lap the rings or is this an unnecessary step?

I have a Weatherby Mark V Accumark chambered in 300 WBY. It shoots sub-MOA groups averaging around .88 in size. The accuracy is pretty good but I would like to get down to 1/2 MOA groups if possible. The rifle has the stock Criterion #3 taper barrel. I am considering purchasing a new barrel and...

I recently picked up a brand new Weatherby Mark V Accumark in 300 WBY that has a hand laid fiberglass stock which is painted with a camo pattern. The stock does not have knurling in the grip areas and I find it to be slippery. As this is a hunting rifle I want to correct this. What is the best...

Just curious what people are using for a scope magnification out to 400 yards? I plan on doing a few western hunts for deer and elk over the coming years. My maximum ethical shot distance will be 400 yards. I am wondering what power range the optimal scope would be? Currently looking at a VX5...

I have been taking a serious look at the 338-378 WBY as a longer-range big game cartridge (400-600 yds). The Weatherby factory load shooting the 225 grain Barnes TTSX shoots as fast and as flat as my 300 WBY but packs a lot more punch. If anybody has experience hunting with this cartridge, I...

Hello everybody, I just joined the forum and this is my very first post so I apologize in advance if it is long winded. I have been hunting whitetail deer my whole life and will be going on my very first large game adventure hunt this September when I will be doing a float plane hunt in the...
