    Short barrel 7mm-08

    My 17 inch Tikka barrel is back. Shot some great groups, now working on finding the right combination of bullet and powder Stuff loads of Big Game group well. 120 gr BT @ 2825 140 gr BT @ 2700 Anticipated the velocity drop, so not worried about that as the rifle handles great with the can...

    7mm-08 with short barrel - to AI or not?

    Having a Tikka 7mm-08 cut and threaded at 17 inches. Want to play with a short barrel with a suppressor. I understand some cartridges benefit from AI (280AI') and some it just doesn't matter. Planning on losing about 25 FPS with the barrel cut. What about trying to offset this with an AI...

    Hornady 150 SST

    Midway has seconds of these for a decent price. Looking for a range bullet for 300-400 yds practice in my 280AI. Have a 150 E-tip load for hunting that shoots great. Any other "cheap" 7mm bullets for moderate range work people suggest. Accurate and cheap preferred.

    Wind consideration and elevated vantage points.

    What do people think...... Was out looking for spring bears....went to a place where I know there are bears, water down below and timber behind. Lots of grass along the closed dirt road. I hiked upon the backside hill and was 95 to 160 yds above the area I was watching. It was a 35 degree...

    Never owned a 7mm Mag - not sure I will

    Over the years, like many other, I have owned a lot of rifles in a variety of calibers. Some of the rifles have changed, but there has been some consistency in calibers. But never a rifle in 7 mm mag, not even briefly. I recognize the ballistics are great for a do all rifle. Now days, my...

    M48 stock

    I picked up this rifle a few months ago. M48 in 300 WSM. The stock appears to be a carbon fiber, but NOT from Nosler. I called and spoke with the Nosler people. Stock weighs 24-25 ozs. There are no manufacture markings on the stock. Anyone have an idea who might have made it? Great...

    M48 in 280AI

    Have long admired Nosler rifles. Recently pick up a couple. I didn't realize that the M48 in 280AI came in both magnum and sporter barrels. I had only seen magnum. Was surprised today coming across one in sporter contour. About 1/2 lb lighter.

    280 AI brass

    Switched 280 AI rifles and mistakenly gave all my 280 AI brass with the rifle I sold. Seems Nosler 280AI brass is hit or miss in quality. Seems other brands are hard to find. I am going to fire form some R-P brass to get started. Wondering about getting some Lapua brass and forming 280AI...

    338-08 or light loads in 338WM?

    I have a hunger for a Sako Mannlicher in a larger bore. Handled one a few years ago in 338 WM and is was a sweat little package. Spent too much time thinking it over and when I came back the next week, it was gone. Causally shopping for one. I would image the recoil of full load 33WM with a...

    New to me - 338-06 AI

    Worked into a deal and ended up with a Thompson Encore barrel in 338-06 AI. Came with fire formed brass and dies and a few hand loads. Looked around here and found load data. Just finished making some 210 PT with RL-15. Will have to wait until next weekend for range time, but the 338-06AI...

    What to do with a Tikka 695 in 280 Rem?

    Pulled out of the back of a safe, a Tikka 695 in 280 Rem. Has been there for a while, when I purchased it, it certainly looked new and I have not fired it. Trying to think, if there is something to make? Already have 338Fed, 338 WM and 35 Whelen covered. Either leave as a 280 (already have...

    Winchester 100

    As much as I think the Win 100 or Rem 7400 rifles are a good idea, I just am too much a bolt action person. Found a really nice Win 100 in the holly grail 284 caliber. Super clean rifle, put some rounds through it and it shot well, but..... Will ponder keeping over the winter, but not sure it...

    Sako L61R in 7mm Mag

    Local Cabela's has a Sako L61R in 7 Mag. Nice rifle, has a textured synthetic stock with a Monte Carlo check rest and a Pachmyer recoil pad. Cabela's guys tried to say it was factory. Need no comments about the experts at Gun stores. It also looks to be coated with a matte black Cerakote...

    Rifle weight vs pack weight.....where is it important?

    Seems as I read through various pasting while physically distancing myself, people talk about wanting "lightweight" rifles. As someone that hunts some very open country and hikes way more miles and hills than I sometimes want, I don't always worry about carrying the lightest rifle verses a...
