    I'm such an idiot

    In a number of other threads I stated my new Remington SPS Buckmasters .270 had the new X-Mark Pro trigger but it wasn't adjustable - just like the Gander and Midwest salesmen said. It IS adjustable! I wasn't looking "far" enough up the trigger. It's in a slightly different spot then the...

    Remington Triggers

    In another thread I was told by Gander salespeople that Remington no longer puts adjustable X-Mark Pro triggers on their guns. They were right. Today I bought a new SPS Buckmasters .270 Win. at Midwest Shooters Supply in Lomira and while it DOES have the new X-Mark Pro trigger they've taken...

    The New Short Magnums

    Does anyone in here shoot the .270 WSM or the .300 WSM? I'm about ready to pull the trigger (pun) on a new SPS Remington and wondered if these are as accurate as the .300 Win Mag and other older stuff. They actually show to be flatter shooting in the ballistic charts. I originally was going...

    You Won't Believe This

    I was at Gander Mountain tonight looking at different model Remington 700's. I am going to settle on the SPS Buckmasters (camo stock) instead of the SPS stainless because they didn't do a very even bead blast on the barrel and it looked rough. The Buckmasters was nice. The thing that threw me...

    TV Deer Hunting Shows

    I know these "game farm" hunts are the farthest thing from reality and all or most of those guys would be totally helpless on public hunting land or on their own without guides BUT.... My question is "why do the deer run so far after they shoot them"? I think they are probably using "premium"...

    Remington Owners

    I'm looking at one. Just tell me... Are you satisfied (grouping, quality etc). Are you dis-satisfied (grouping, quality etc). Elaborate please. And thanks. It's hard to beat the prices and I love the looks. Savage, Icons, and others are just too ugly. Even if they shoot.

    Remington Reply

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum. (If not please move). In any case Remington made a website dedicated to the model 700 and to address the issues raised by the television station. I think they've done a good job. http://www.remington700.tv/#/home

    This is alot of work

    Okay, I've looked at Savage, Tikka, TC Icons, and everything in between. I think I want an X-bolt (stainless hunter). Good? Bad? So-so?

    Tikka T3 Question

    I want one but I want the camo stainless T3 lite. The Tikka site has it listed but the Beretta site does not. I can't find any place that handles them. http://www.tikka.fi/t3models.php?camoss Any ideas? Gun Broker doesn't have them either.

    Remington 798

    Remington doesn't import this anymore but it is a true Mauser Supreme action and I found some deals on Gun Broker. Anyone got one?

    Mounting scope bases

    I'm not sure how many in here know this trick but if you do just ignore this post. Rugers and Sakos (and some others) have the built in bases that you just attach the rings to. That's obviously the most solid system out there. But if you have a Remington, Savage or similar that require bases...

    Best target

    I've been using "dirty bird" targets but last weekend sighting in three rifles had a heck of a time finding the holes. One time I shot a three shot group and could not see them. When looking up close at the target during the break in shooting I had a clover leaf (1/2"?) group of three shots...

    Your favorite bullet, brass, primer etc

    This is any caliber. I don't hand load anymore but I used to have quite a nice setup and could always get a gun to group. Alot had to do with the bullets I used. Back in the olden days when I did that I found nosler partition and sierras worked best for me in most calibers. I tried nosler...

    Your Opinion

    Am looking for a new toy for next year. Right now I've narrowed it to a Savage 116FHSS (accu-trigger and stock) stainless, long-action in .300 WM. My current rifle (Ruger 77 Mark II all-weather) shoots clover-leaf groups at 100. Should this one do that also? (Ruger is one of those rare...

    It didn't work

    The rubber "de-resonator" thingy I tried on my barrel. Worst groups that gun has ever shot. Kind of glad it didn't work. Looked bad!!

    Remington Got Burned

    Did anyone else watch that hour special on CNBC tonight about Remington making flawed triggers and safeties ever since the Model 700 was introduced? There was some very strong arguments. True or not Remington will soon be down the toilet. There's another thread in here about Remington...

    Where do you shoot?

    I have the luxury of being close to one of the best shooting ranges in this part of the country. The membership is cheap and if you aren't a member you can shoot all day for $30. The main rifle/pistol range has distances at 25, 50, 100 and 200 yards. A blackpowder range, a air gun range, an...

    Decisons decisions decisions

    I've started a couple threads and decided I'd put it all in one for people to comment. swmbo has given me the green light to buy a new rifle with our tax return. I'm not new to guns. Matter a fact I've built a couple up from barreled actions and stock blanks. I also am a decent shooter and...
