I am cleaning out my safe to fund a rifle build. I have two rifles that I'm considering, one is my Ruger Hawkeye all-weather 308, the other is my Savage 16 fhss 7mm WSM. What I want in the end is an all round do everything rifle. The Savage is the most accurate of the two right now but since I...

Problem- My grandfather told me, "never sell an accurate rifle!" I have a 308 ruger hawkeye for sale that shoots 1-1/8" @ 105 yards from a work mate bench with sand bags. This is with the only ammo I have ever put through it (150 grn Remington umc), and it isn't even bedded yet. I reload and am...

Just an itch I have to scratch. How many hunters out there think that a rifle capable of MOA mean MOA hunting shoots. Try this shot that my hunting partner and I practise. Find a shooting area where you can run 15 yards behind the shooting line. The challenge, dress in your hunting gear just as...

It's time to upgrade my scope. My question is "In the $500.00 and below price range what scopes give you good glass, ruggedness, but most important, first time every time adjustments?" I shoot a lot at the range, but don't compete, so I would really like an adjustable objective, variable power...

Looking for some input. I want to tune the stock trigger on my Ruger Hawkeye stainless synthetic 308. I have the directions on how, but no info. on the tools to use. What is best for removing metal, is it done in one stage or is there a remove, then polish. Any input would help.

Brand new Ruger Hawkeye stainless synthetic in a 308. Love the rifle hate the lawyer trigger. I read an artical on tuning the trigger. It seems easy enough that I am going to do this myself. Just a few questions. Is the removal of metal done by hand, and if so what is the best tool to use? I...

A question for the high volume shooting crowd. Do stainless barrels last any longer than the chromemoly? Is there any difference in achieveable accuracy?

I am about to buy another rifle. I have narrowed down the cal. to either a 30-06, or a 300 wsm (I already have a 308). I am looking at the Remington 700 sps ss, Savage 12 BVSS, and the Savage 16 fcss. I just got back from Dick's Sporting goods looking for the latest prices. They had a Savage 11...

For those of you who own a 300 wsm, what brand of rifle do you own, how heavy is it all rigged up for the hunt, and what do you think of the recoil? What kind of accuracy are you getting from the bench? If you had the choice, would you buy the same rifle and caliber again?

I know this will start a debate, but I do learn from others opinions and views. So here it is, what is the min. bolt action rifle cal. and bullet type, that you would use for a 300 yard shot on an elk sized animal to guaranty a through shoulder joint penentration into the vitals. The bullet must...

Got a great deal on a model 1917. A local gun collector I know picked up this 1917 from a guy that cut down the barrel himself because he said the rifle just wasn't accurate enough. The collecter took it on trade and offered it to me for $75, because he hadn't shot it yet and didn't know if it...

I am in love. In searching for the ultimate hunting rifle, I was looking for something like a remington sendaro in a 30-06 cal. After many hours on the internet and a few fights with the wife about priorities, I happend on the remington 798. I know it is nothing like the sendaro model and all...

I am considering buying a ruger m77 30-06 in the all weather model. While checking out the web sight, I became concerned about the stainless finish. It looks like the stainless is polished (very bright). Any one that owns one or has seen one please let me know.

I am looking for some input to the vais muzzle break. I have heard some good things about this break, most importantly, it is suppose to be the quietest one on the market. Is the vais as quiet as advertised, and how is it connected to the barrel? Any other input that is offered is also appriciated.

Just looking for opinions. What rifle and cal. do you think best fit this criteria. The game hunted will be whitetail deer to moose size game, no large dangerous bear. First recoil has to be on the lighter side for the average person. The caliber has to be offered in a bolt action model and the...

Question, does anyone know a formula to figure out felt recoil? Also how would the recoil of a 35 whelen compare to a 30-06?

I can not find the rifle that I want in a 30-06 cal but can get it in a .308 version. I know that the differences in those two cal. is spliting hairs, but I elk hunt and like using a 180 grn. bullet. A bullet in that weight just seems to limit the .308 more than I would like. Does anyone have...

What is the barrel wear difference between a .308, 30-06, or a 300 wsm all things being the same?

I am thinking of a new direction to take for my one all round rifle. I am an avid shooter, and handloader. The most important thing to me is accuracy and experience. So here is my question? If I was to hand load a bunch of 30-06 180 grn bullets for best accuracy out of a 24" barreled rifle, how...
