We're talking about the same gun though. If I had a choice between that nice dark camo and a plain gray Tupperware looking stock with all else being the same, yes, cosmetics would drive the decision which to go with.
I'm an AZ resident but have honestly never hunted down South (except yotes and small game on a whim while on off-road expeditions). I would absolutely be interested in joining an unofficial Hunt Talk trip!
I run a floorless shelter 99% of the time and the one luxury item I pack is my Thermarest ultralight cot. I use the standard size. It's not good for sleeping on snow that's more than 1-2" deep or over large rocks, but it's worth the extra ounces and couple minutes of setup time as far as I'm...
I was excited about the Ultralight but they're not offering it in .300WM, so I went the other way and bought the 110 Classic instead, which I later regretted. If I ever break down and get a 6.5CM, I'll definitely try the Ultralight. Please report back how you like it once you get your hands on it!
This beautiful rifle here, the new Savage 110 Classic, has become one of those rifles. I bought it unaware that the "threaded muzzle" was done with (relatively) odd 9/16x24RH threads. Upon realizing this, I had to roll the dice and have a suppressor mount custom made for it... and remind myself...
I want to dip my toes into coyote hunting without investing in a Fox Pro right out of the gate, so I'm hoping for hand and/or mouth call recommendations from those with experience here. I'm willing to try a few different ones but there's just so many out there it's a bit overwhelming.
I'm in...
I'm a "dog person"... I like dogs more than people. With that said, like everything else, it depends on the dog. If it's feral, problematic and unable to be adopted - fair game.
What's not to love? I can't think of a better platform for one gun to protect your home, hunt everything from varmints to medium sized game, and defend the Constitution, all without swapping uppers. ;)
I live on the outskirts of town, backed up against a farm and open desert. If it were not for the laws regarding shooting within city limits, which I fall within, I would do the same. They are everywhere here.
I don't know how I feel about that. On one hand, that's incredibly convenient... On the other hand, that's incredibly dangerous for the ol' checking account...
Welcome from Gilbert! If you're ever up in the Valley and want to grab a pint and shoot the breeze, send me a PM.
Are you a member of BHA, RMEF, etc? If so, maybe we'll bump into each other at one of the events.
I'll second Varget and offer some pointers.
I suggest you start at about 42.0gr and work up. The Hornady manual lists 44.0gr as max, but Hodgdon goes up to 46.0gr; I believe that's because anything over 44.0 is compressed, but keep it in mind.
FWIW, I shoot 165 SSTs out of both of my Remington...
