    would you buy a new remington

    That's a first in my experience. Should be easy to clean.

    would you buy a new remington

    I've had a lot of Remingtons come through the shop and haven't seen the rifling issue that PEPPER01 describes. It's not that unusual to find actions out of square and lugs "uneven" on many production rifles. For an "out of the box " rifle I'll take a Savage hands down.

    Savage LRH in 6.5x284?

    It's a great round. It should be a tack driver in a Savage. I rebarreld a Winchester 88 in this cartridge for a guy who wanted it for antelope hunting. I liked it so much I put one together for myself.

    Hang-on Stands and Safety Harness suggestions?

    I use the Lone Wolf hang-on but my son has a Gorilla King Kong Lounger hang-on that does have arm rests. Seems to be pretty comfortable.

    I wouldn't pay more than $450. You can find them at gun shows for $500.

    semi auto shotgun

    The Remington operates off a gas piston providing lower felt recoil than the Benelli or Franchi.

    7x57

    After you've found a good load, I would slowly build up a pressure point in the forearm using thin pieces of tape. You can usually get some good results without bedding.

    Do it all Rifle?

    Buy another 88. I've got two that I hunt with--both in .308. One has a 4X Leupold the other a 6X...old school hunting. I sold one in .358 not to long ago. I wish I had one in .284.

    .257 Weatherby Mag?

    It's a great caliber and gun. If you like it, buy it! I've always had a soft spot for the Mark V.

    Opinions on Bino's

    It's hard to compare binos in good light. If you really want to see differences compare them in very low light--early dawn, late dusk.

    Holster Break-in

    Soaking the inside if the holster with hot water and putting the gun (heavily wrapped in saran wrap-water tight) in over night will usually do the trick if you can't loosen it any other way.

    $150 rifle

    Worth every penny! I lke the standard Whelen--the AI version can have feeding issues in some guns.

    Heating with coal?

    With coal you need a fairly fine shaker grate. The openings on most wood grates are too large and the coal falls through. Unlike wood, coal needs to have a good flow of air coming in underneath the bed to burn efficiently. The depth of the coal bed is also important...about 15 inches worked best...

    Heating with coal?

    Burning coal is different from burning wood so do a little research before you start.
