    1 3/8 inches (5 shots), 5/8 inch (first 4 shots) at 200 yards. Shot from a Sako 85 varmint laminated stainless with VX3 target 6.5X20/50mm. Out of four 5 shot groups, this was the smallest and the largest was 1 3/4 inches.

    long range hunting rifle?

    Ok, I've been waiting for my Sako hunter laminated in 300 win. magnum since Octobre 2010 and it doesn't look like it's coming anytime soon. So I've decided to cancel the order. Now I'm looking into a long range hunting rifle in the same calibre. What do you guys think of these choices, Remington...

    I currently have a Sako 85 varmint stainless fluted in 308 winchester that is toped with a Leupold VX3 LR 4.5X14 50mm.

    I was just wondering what the reloading data would be for this particular bullet. Would it be the same as the 300gr. protected point partition?

    45-70 OCL?

    Hi guys, I just purchased a Marlin 1895 in 45-70. I'm going to be using a Hornady 350gr. round nose, IMR 3130, Winchester brass and CCI primers. The only reason why I'm using the Hornady bullet is because here in Quebec, it would take like 4 to 6 months to get the 300 partition or the 300...

    What should be my go to bullet?

    Hi guys, I just purchased a Sako 85 grey wolf in 300 winchester mag. I want to build a load with a 180 grain bullet. I'm thinking either the Accubond or the E-Tip. Which would be the better performer for most of all North American game? Cause I'm planning on only one load for this rifle...

    Thought I'd share my nightmare.....

    Rented a farm for hunting last week. My tree stand was nothing but a small bow hunting stand about 20 feet up. I leaned my rifle on the small platform to clear a branch from my line of sight when, my boot clipped the butt of my rifle and it fell 20 feet to the ground. My rifle is a Sako 85...

    Custom competition bullets

    I'd like to work up a target load for my 300wsm using a 155gr Custom competition bullet. Are they that much better than the rest of the Nosler line-up for target shooting or am I wasting my time with that particular bullet??

    LNL OAL guage

    I purchaced an OAL guage from Hornady and was wondering if this is normal. I did as per the instructions and with my 150gr Accubond, the OAL is 3.1 inches. The OCL in my Nosler book says 2.860. That's a distance of .25 inches before it touches the rifling. Is this alright??? Btw, the caliber is...

    Perfect reticle alignment

    I'm installing my scope to my rifle. I know they sell a device with lines on it that you attach to the rifle and then align the horizontal lines of the reticle to the ones of the device. However. I don't have that particular device and would like to know if there's a method that someone here...

    T3 stainless varmint

    Hey guys I just purchased the T3 stainless varmint in 300 wsm. I've owned a Sako 75 stainless for about 5 years now. The fit and finish is second to none and it shoots like a bat out of hell. So since the T3 is from the same factory. I figured the quality control will be at least the same as my...
