I'm curious to see where you live and what guns you own for what purpose... Here is mine to kick it off. Handguns... Ruger MKII 22/45 with Bushnell Holosight For- rabbits, grouse/ptarmigan, plinking Kel-Tec PF-9 For- "the wife", home defense and the occasional concealed carry S&W 500 Mag...

I loaned my Marlin 1895 GS 45-70 to a friend for a Kodiak Island Bear/Deer combo hunt. He is interested in getting one of these rifles as he shot mine at the end of this years Goat hunt. I figured I'd let him field test mine before slapping down the dough. Three conditions, 1: if he hurts my...

O.K., sometime ago I made a post asking for suggestions for a "knockabout" varmint rifle. It will ride on my back while snow-machining or X-Country skiing (and bring along while ice-fishing the more remote lakes). There were some great suggestions on Cart/rifles. Yesterday I put down the $ to...

First and foremost, I do not want to debate about the benefits of this; I'm only looking for input from those of you who turn your necks. Thanks. I bought a Forster Hand Outside Neck Turner with pilots for my two bolt action rifles (30-06 and 338 RUM). I read the directions and they weren't...

Anybody tried one of these yet? Pretty cool looking little toy, just might have to pick one up.

I've always full length resized untill now. I just bought neck sizer dies for my two bolt actions. My question is, after I've fire formed my cases do I need to push the shoulder back occasionally or will my chamber keep the head space correct automatically? I'm shooting a 30-06 Sprng and a .338...

Cart-30-06 Use-High Country Hunting (goats/sheep) Want-highest b.c. + flattest compromise but cheap enough to shoot for fun as well. Looking to the thong range gurus to suggest a particular bullet. So far looking at the 165 and 180gr Hornady Interlock SST.

I'd like to do a poll of the people who post here (don't know how to do a poll though). If somebody can set one up... I'd like to see one reflecting service (USMC, USN, Army, ASAF etc.) plus MOS and the time frame and duty station etc. Thanks

Has anybody ordered/tried one of these? I just spoke to Leupold tech. support and they say if I send them my scope and: Muzzle velocity, cartridge (type), bullet type, ballistic coefficient, average elevation and average temperature they will install a reticle that has a 200 yd. zero w/ dots for...

Haven't done anything to this rifle but mount a Leupold 3-9 x 33mm Ultralight scope w/Talley ring/base combo. This is a "work up" load, things should only improve from here. See reloading manuals to find your own loads, if you look at Hodgdon Data this is ≈91.5% of maximum... Shot through...

I've done very littly varmint hunting but would like to add it as a bonus for my other winter activities... -I like to explore on my old but trusty Ski-Doo Tundra (covering lots of ground) -I also cross country ski (need a light/portable rifle). -The varmints in my neck of the woods are mostly...

My wife bought me one of these about a year ago and I love it. Anybody ever check it against a high quality scale? The only regular scale I have is the cheepest one Lee makes. The two seem to jive but the electronic gizmo eliminates the judgement call and is so much faster.

I ordered a box of these (180 gr .308) for my new 30-06. I'm going to test them for accuracy before my November goat hunt. I have H4350 and H335. Anybody used these for similar game...or any game? The BC is pretty good (.520) but do they penetrate well? Goats are pretty tough for their size and...

I just bought a Tikka T3 lite (30-06), I'm going to top it with a Leupold VXII Ultralight 3-9 x 33mm. I ordered some Talley Lightweight 2-piece scope mounts/rings. Has anybody tried this mounting option? I plan to lap the rings to (hopefully) get a straigt alignment as there is no windage...

The Beretta sight lists the 300wsm Tikka T3 light stainless as such, Left hand model at 6# 3oz and the right hand @ 6# 6 oz. Anybody know the difference? I'm a lefty considering one of these for a mountain rifle, so the loss of weight doesn't concern me too much, just would like to know why. If...

If I have my barrel fluted, should I also get it cryogenically treated?

One of my rifles is a Rem. 700 LSS in 338 RUM, it doesn't kick bad because of the muzzle brake so I like to lighten it up a bit. Would you 1: Get a custom barrel (fluted/cryo?), 2: Invest in a lighter stock or 3: Both???
