My daughter drew a Muzzle Loader tag for a bull elk this year in a any bull unit. I had had problems finding a front stuffer that my daughter liked. Muzzle loading is a foreign concept to my daughter so I started asking around on a bolt action ML to get something similar to what she was used...

Went into a store yesterday, came out a little poorer. They had a funky little kiosk that took my finger prints and my personal information. So I'm hoping in 9-12 months my Silencer Co Omega and Sparrow get to come home. Until then I'm going to have to sort through my rifles and see which...

I bought this rifle a few years ago, because a .223 M70 Winchester is a pretty rare configuration. The plain stock with 12.5" LOP was always something I wanted to change even though the rifle shoots well. Anyway I got a FWT take off from a buddy who bought this stock for his .270 Win and was...

This deer was my daughter's first hunting failure! As we all know we aren't perfect, and things can always go wrong when hunting. My daughter who started hunting deer seven years ago at the tender age of nine, has been blessed to successfully take a lot of deer in those years. However, at...

I can't make up my mind as to which cartridge I want. I have a HVA 1600 action and stock but no barrel. I've already added a Dakota 3 positon safety and a Timney trigger to the action. So now I have to decide on a barrel. I'm thinking a FWT/UL contour that finishes around 21" in either of...

I'm on a quest to lighten up my daughter's elk hunting gear, as two years ago I watched her quit on her first hunt. She just wan't mentally and physically ready for this hunt in my opinion, but at 13 years old her biggest problem was mental. She's now 15 and better prepared for it and she...

I have an old RCBS Chargemaster that was manufactured by PACT. The scale finally quit after 12 years of use, I sent it into PACT last week to see if they could repair it. In the mean time I have an old RCBS 505 scale and my Uniflow powder measure. Using the old 505 and Uniflow made me realize...

I have actually two requests, the first one was requested of me on another forum. The guy requesting it of me sent me a box of 105 grain RDF bullets. The other is I was given 500 115 grain DTAC bullets and the only rifle I have with a twist to handle them is my 6X45. My rifle still hasn't...

Spent four days in Oklahoma with my buddies, wives, and our children. I didn't hunt I just spent time sitting in the blind with my daughter, which is what I love to do. I had planned on getting a tag if my daughter tagged out early, but it took her all four days to fill her tag so I decided to...

I had started a post on this rifle, but photbucket pretty much killed the photos of it. Got these pictures from the Cerakote applicator this morning, should have this one back in the next week or two as it still needs some engraving. Savage 10 action reprofiled by Steve Field PT&G Parallel...

Would have posted this sooner but we've been busy doing things. Opening morning we found this buck on my Dad's property, we put three stalks on this guy until we were able to get a good shot on him. My Daughter has been using for the last four years a M700 Classic in .300 Savage with an older...

Have a buddy who is looking for a place to start with the 140 grain Accubond. He's looking for the powder that'll give the best velocity. Here is his info: 1:8 twist 24" barrel, 53.3 grains of water avg, and his COAL with the Accubond is 2.875". I've not used QL much but can you filter it to...

I've been saying I'd never build another rifle on a Savage action but here I am going down the rabbit hole again. One problem all the parts are too heavy! The rifle's a 6X45 (6mm-223) what do I need a 9lb rifle for? So I tore it all back down and sent it to Marty at Twisted Barrel to...

I have this HVA small ring 98 pictured above, and I don't know what to do with it. I have no real holes in my safe I need to fill, so I'm kind of at a loss for what I want to build. Here is my only criteria. 1. Must work with current .473 bolt face. 2. No 7mm or 8mm calibers. 3. No...

Well new to me anyway, found this one on Armslist and picked it up Friday. Came with the case, 148 rounds of ammunition, Nikon P300 scope, rings, bi-pod, Leapers bi-pod adapter, and CMMG SV brake. I'll probably loose the brake soon as I really don't like them, but the rifle was amazingly quiet...

My Hornady manual doesn't have the 125 grain GMX in it, trying to find a starting point for the .300 Savage. Would like to find something at least a MV of 2800 fps, but would prefer to end up close to 3000 fps . Thanks!

My daughter informed me on Saturday that her first ever pronghorn makes seven big game animals killed with her .300 Savage in just three years. She killed six Oklahoma white tails with it the last two seasons and a pronghorn this year. Now its is off to see if we can get a her first muzzle...

I ordered this rifle through a special group buy off of 24 hour campfire offered by Whittaker's Gun Shop. I picked up my rifle today from the LGS, and to be honest I'm on the fence about it. I ordered some Talley mounts that didn't make it into the box, but Whittaker's admitted the mistake and...

Since I broke my leg I'm living vicariously through a good friend of mine and posted this earlier today on 24hr. Not bad for his first ever bull elk! LINK TO STORY

I'm getting ready to rebarrel my 6X47 (6mm-222 Rem Mag) rifle with a 1:8 twist barrel 20 to 22" long. Max COAL in my rifle is 2.5" and h2o capacity is 34 grains on average of 5 previously fired cases. My goal speed is 2600 fps as long as it's accurate, is this possible? My current set of...
