    6.5 Creedmoor +Peak Poll

    Wonder what the price will be when it hits the shelves? Creedmoor is an accurate round and very popular in the past 20 years. Found the 2 reasons to market this plus peak. .308 rounds out of a 300 weatherby beats the 308 by 500 fps but cost more than double the price and the old 308 will do the...

    Cva Cascade XT 35 Whelen Finally!!!

    windy day on the Caldwell seat that isnt the best for groups. Averaged 2667 fps with 225 accubonds. Found the sling swivel screw pushes on the barrel if you load into the gun resting on the swivel stud. No issues, fed everytime, accuracy will come out when I go to the farm when it isnt windy...

    Anybody have experience with the vortex strike eagle 3x18x44 FFP?

    I have been throwing on vortex on alot of my rifles. Affordable and for my use they work fine. Guys in the prs world, or guiding hunters 100 days a year might find vortex not hold up. I had 1 scope come out of the box with a gasket loose in the eye piece. Follow torque specs and mount...

    Cva Cascade XT 35 Whelen Finally!!!

    Finally CVA started shipping the 35 whelen a year after the announcement. After some rain recently might be safe to go test it out. Picked up some 225 gr accubonds. Slapped on a viper hd 2-10. Iowa guys should look at these. Cva makes great rifles that dont break the bank! I will update after...

    What were your worst caliber/rifle choices

    I guess my 7 prc Christensen Arms ridgeline. Gun is accurate but wont feed everytime and has had heavy bolt lift after 3 shot string. Twice bolt wouldnt lift without smacking the bolt with a mallet. Haven't shot it since last year

    340 Wby for my Dream Hunt!!

    The viper is mid tier in the vortex lineup. I like the bdc holds for hunting scopes. I would love a nightforce or another vx-5 but wife isn't on board right now with that.

    340 Wby for my Dream Hunt!!

    I guess I dont mind it, im not jerking the trigger. 1.5 moa is best I got around shots 17 thru 19. For a hunting rig out to 400 it will work!!

    340 Wby for my Dream Hunt!!

    It wasn't horrible recoil. Definitely a step up from the 300 weatherby with 180 grains. Get it down to moa and call it good. Vortex viper seems to be holding up to the recoil

    340 Wby for my Dream Hunt!!

    My safe was missing a big caliber. Picked up a mark v accumark in 340 wby mag for a long time from now Alaskan Moose hunt. Gotta get out to the range when it warms up. Threw on a 2-10 with peak 44 base and rings setup. Buddy had 225 and 250 grain interlock ammo in stock.

    The Rifle you haven’t shot in a long, long time…but should!

    Handed down from my Dad, a browning bar 270 grade 1. 1974 never fired. Got a scope mounted just waiting for some time to go sight it in.

    rifle for beginner/youth- bolt? single shot? other?

    Several manufacturers have used the spacers in stocks now. LOP for youth but add the spacer back in a few years later. Ruger american, savage 110, cva cascade, weatherby compact hunter is what I chose for the kids in 308. Need to get some light loads to start them out. Worked yesterday for me!!!
