    Muzzle Brake ID???

    I can't remember the name of the brake on my rifle. Can anyone identify the maker of this brake?

    300WBY issues!!!

    In his defense, the brake needed to be opened by the smith and I don't think he opened it enough. I put a caliper on it and it is .317" so only .01 over bore. Everything I have read it .025-.030" is where it should be. The threads and brake appear to look straight and even. Hopefully I can...

    300WBY issues!!!

    I shot the gun today without the brake and it produced a 1.6" group using the same ammo that made a 13.5" group the day before. I will be sending the brake to be opened up this week.

    300WBY issues!!!

    Well, I believe I'm on the right track. I cleaned it really well and took it out one more time. It was bad!! 13.5" group with 180 Btips at 100 yards. I got home and put the bore scope down it. As I was removing it, I caught a little copper in the muzzle brake. I looked closer and found a...

    300WBY issues!!!

    I acquired a Sako 300WBY from my late FIL. I have it in a McMillan stock and had a brake put on it because it was a monster to fire. Before the brake, I never shot a decent group because it was hard to shoot off the bench. Now that it has a brake, it is very easy to shoot but I can't get it...

    New 30-06 barrel???

    I've done the Remage game but I'm a little worried about opening the stock for the barrel nut on this rifle.

    New 30-06 barrel???

    I have tried many things. New scope, rings, bedded the stock, pressure point on the end, free floated, new Trigger Tech Trigger and 150-165-180gr bullets and 4 different powders.

    New 30-06 barrel???

    I have a Remington 700 Mountain rifle that was my dad bought. I have tried so many combos of powder and bullets but I can't get it to shoot better than 1.25-1.5" groups. I would like to put a new 30-06 barrel on it. I would also like to keep it similar to the original contour and length...

    7mm WSM

    My wife used mine this fall with 175eldx bullets and shot a nice buck at 130 yards. I really like the 7wsm.

    TTSX 185gr vs 210gr??

    My hope is to have my 338-06 back soon after Christmas. I have never used the TTSX bullet and am wondering what one you recommend. The 210gr at 2700fps or the 185gr at 2900. The goal will be to deer and maybe elk and moose with the rifle. 400 yards would be the max distance on elk and moose and...

    338-06 bullet for deer??

    Thanks. I'm having JES rebore it. I did mean new bullets for me. I want to try something different in this rifle.

    338-06 bullet for deer??

    I'm looking reboring at 30-06 to 338-06. I'm in the process of bullet research for deer hunting. One of the goals is to use a new bullet so that takes off the partition, accubond, balistic tip, eldx, and hot cor off the table. I'm thinking something in the 200-225gr range. What are thoughts...
