My kiddo is about to start hunter's education in January and wants to hunt the following fall (I'm pretty excited). She'll be 10 before you know it. So, I have her on a 223 bolt action right now and she doesn't mind it. But... There are several problems with her using my 223: 1) it is too...

The draw: In NM non-residents not using a guide/outfitter service are given 6% of the quota. That’s not taking into account all those applying which drops that 6% down depending on the number of permit applications for each given hunt unit. Why did I apply in NM? I was stationed there while...

I'm looking at purchasing a spotting scope and I can't decide between a straight or angled eye piece. I want to get this right due to the prices of these things. So, what do you guys recommend and why? Thanks, V/R Rob

This thread is for cartridges that didn’t succeed in the market place for whatever reason (marketing, didn’t fill a void, etc.). So here we go (in good nature), I’ll start it off w/ten of my own and I’ll keep this list updated (I own two of them): Updated list (last input was Scotty)--Only...

Did anyone read the August edition of American Hunter? They did a review on the Nosler Professional chambered in the 325WSM along w/the 200 grain Trophy Grade Accubond ammo. Outstanding as usual. Keep up the good work Nosler!

I headed to my friends house, like I do every year, for two solid days of coyote hunting. Yes, it is August and it’s easier to call in coyotes. The fur is crap but the times are great and the coyotes are everywhere. We hit certain areas before all the predator hunting contests begin because...

Here’s my issue. I am stringing shots horizontally w/all my rifles. Some not so bad (MOA or better) and some…well BAD. I googled it and most responses were equipment related. Side pressure on the barrel, scope mounts loose, etc. This is happening with all my rifles (four now; five when...

Please be patient with me…alright, here we go. As some of you might know, I’m sort of a novice at reloading. I’ve conquered the 223 WSSM so I figured that was a major milestone for me heading to the next level of reloading. But the issue I need help with has set me back…I think. I’m using...

So, as I told you a few times, I’m new to reloading (again…long story). I figured if I’m going to attempt it again, I was going to do it right. To do it right, I needed a chrono. I went to Midway and started researching etc. etc. and found that the Competition Electronics ProChrono Digital...

Well, Nosler did it to me. I always said, and posted it somewhere in this forum that if Nosler made a 264 Win Mag that I would buy one. I already emailed Shawn asking some questions. I plan on getting the Legacy. I think a fine wood rifle in that caliber would be a nice throwback every...

Not sure which forum to post this in, so I chose this one. So here's my question to you: I've seen some pretty impressive groups from several of you on this forum, from small calibers to large. With this said, how do you start your groups off? By this I mean: 1) cold, clean bore and let...

Need a 2011 Hunting Pic Sticky

Well, I finally got the courage and sent off my Rem 700 in 300 SAUM to Hart Rifle Barrels to get it rebarreled, the action squared and lugs lapped. I'm also having a Jewell trigger and Vais muzzle brake installed. That along w/the McMillan stock should fire a few in roughly the same location...

So I read the article in American Rifleman and I have a question... Why did Nosler abandon the Timney system in favor of the Rifle Basix system? I'm curious because I have Timney triggers in all of my rifles. Am I missing out on something? I know Jewell is a pretty sweet setup but I have...

Attention Moderators: We need a 2010 picture folder. Predator and Javelina seasons are among us...

Thoughts?

Is there something about a Swarovski scope that makes it worth paying a grand more than something as good as a Leupold? I've never owned a Swarovski so I don't mean to sound sarcastic but common...does it scout for you? I have a 338 Win Mag that I'm taking on a Moose hunt and I'm looking to...

Amidst all the people asking for custom loads (can’t blame them once you see them work) I just wanted to say thanks for bringing a surplus of choices for the 300 SAUM. I bought the Limited Edition RMEF Model 700 for this round and it never took off. I thought I was toast; now I have many to...
