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?

How fast you pushing those hammers?

I have some 168 TTSX on hand. What powder you using with those 2 bullets?

I asked my Smith to order me a Rife Basix trigger for this VanGuard (Howa) They have been good triggers for me in several makes. Usually, Rugers and Mausers. I'm going to mount a new Burris FFII 3x9 on it instead of the Nikon Prostaff that came with it. I know nothing about this particular...

It feels more like the "push" of a braked 35 Whelen, heck, even 375 H&H, not the sharp "jab" of fast 300's.

"Seek...and ye shall find."" lol

Ha! I love to trade,etc. Sometimes the deal falls through, sometimes I back out. Sometimes I sell for a profit, sometimes I keep/or give them away. Life is too short, and I find myself in the Last Stretch of The Race...I have to make the most of it!

Well now...brought home another sweet deal! Older Wby VanGuard (Blue metal/black synthetic) in 300 Wby Mag. Nikon 3x9 Pro something mounted. ( I will replace it with a new FFII 3x9 I have on hand. Rifle has a 5 port muzzlebrake already installed, leather sling and soft case...$350! I found...

I can't get over how this Wby, factory brake handles the recoil of this 338 RPM. Even though it has approx. same capacity as the win Mag, I wonder if the burn rate, case design affects (if any( the recoil impulse? Any of you Physicists/Ballisticians have any idea?

Finally got to the range this AM. After I got all set, I fired one shot at 100yds. Hit 1.5" high and two inches left. I made the corrections for windage, left the elevation alone. I then went to my 200yds target. I hit 2" high but 3" left. I moved scope 4 clicks down, but over-corrected and...

Picked up my rifle! Hopefully, tomorrow PM I can get to the range. I will be pressed for time, but IF I can get it on paper at 100, I can then finesse it to a 200yds zero. That way, if I just can't get away again, I will be set! I will try and post pics! Hooray!

I have used Timneys, Shilen, Kepplinger, Jewel, rifle basix, and Traister. I can't remember the others . I have also had some very good factory triggers that once set, perfection. They are all very good, but I love the Trigger Tech. This is on a hunting rifle, that is. I like to have 1# at the...

He mentioned that he was not thrilled with the Talley Lwt mounts. He asked if I had any different bases. It turns out that way back, I had ordered a set of Leupold STD 2pc bases. I had two sets of rings, one extended, scope is a newer Leupold 2.5x8. He will tap/use 8x40 screws in the bases...

Hot dog, I got joy! Smith said rifle is ready! He said it ended up just a tad heavier, did not get in your face during recoil. He fired three shots for test fire...almost same hole he said! 185 TTSX factory load. I had bought two boxes, so I'm set up. I am too busy to work up handloads before my...

I'm thankful I never had a Mod 700 that had that bad trigger/safety issue. I did make a great shot on my first Axis buck, in Del Rio in late 90's (pre-Haitian Invasion) .308 230 yds, my handloaded 165 NBT, 4x scope, Mod 70 Fwt. Sweet shot. That's the best/only kill with the old 308 for me. I...

Back in late '70s, my BIL had a nice Mod 788 in 6mm Remington. It was extremely accurate with the 100gr factor Clkt load. Only thing I did not care for, upon shooting it, was the heavy, gritty trigger. I don't know if all of them have similar triggers, but that particular one was bad. The Mod...
