    Wife's new rifle

    I've been searching for a light weight rifle for her for a few weeks. She currently has a Savage Axis II Hardwoods in 6.5 Creed, but it weighs in at a little over 8lbs with the scope. She's a breast cancer survivor, but the chemo treatment has totally screwed her body up. It triggered several...

    2019 SE Idaho Muley & Elk Success

    Last year I scored a cow elk with my 30 Nosler using 180ABs, so, this year I took out my 26 Nosler using 140ABs to hunt mule deer and antlered elk. I got very lucky and got a 4x4 buck on the second evening of deer season, 11 Oct. So after sitting around for 3 days after getting my buck dealt...

    What was RCBS thinking????

    FYI, if you are using a standard RCBS FL sizing die for the 6.5 Creedmoor (probably affects other 6.5 calibers) the replacement decapping/expander part will not fit. The original has the smaller thread rod than the replacement piece. Here's pic of the original and the replacement. Original is on...

    Scope Mounting issue

    Putting a Vortex Diamondback 4-16x42 on my Rem 700 in 243. I have medium Leupold standard bases on it and the objective has plenty of clearance, but there is what looks like a set screw under the eye piece that sticks down far enough to keep the bolt from closing. I was either thinking of filing...

    Nosler Heritage in 26 Nosler.

    Thinking of getting one as Cabela's has them on sale. Other than shelling out that kind of $$$$$, anyone have a reason I shouldn't? They have the Western on sale to, but $425 more, shorter barrel and so on.

    Vortex Razor HD LH 3-15x42 Coming

    Ordered one with the G4 BDC reticle. It'll be replacing a Nikon Monarch UCC 5.5-16.5X44 that's been on my 300RUM for 11 years. Decided it was time when on my last night chasing Muley's, my Razor HD 10-42 binos could see animals, checking for head gear, far better than my scope could at the same...

When I say caliber/bullet combo, I mean like my 338RUM I have 50 rounds of 250AB & 50 rounds of 200ET loaded.

    What Caliber for 500-600yds

    The young man I worked a load up for his 7RM was asking about what caliber would be suitable out to 600yds. I told him the 300 mags (Win w/180gns, and the WBY & RUM w/200gn bullets) would be the ticket. What do you guys think of a 338WM for this range? I have a 338WM that has a load for the...
