    Buy new stock or leave alone?

    Hi, The details of the rifle is that it does have a pencil barrel and it’s light. (Around 7 1/2 lbs w/scope). And the stock is a “plastic” variety that doesn’t manage heat well I’m sure. I put a mcmillan stock on my 300 win (similar type gun) and though it was time consuming and at times...

    Buy new stock or leave alone?

    Thx for the advice. It is a mountain gun (300 wsm) so I’ve been thinking just leave it alone.

    Buy new stock or leave alone?

    Hi, I have a rifle that “walks” after 3 shots...as in #4 it’s strapped on it’s walking shoes and #5/6 are lucky to be in the same zip code. (See pics below, the left is 165 grain barns, the right is 185 gr Berger’s) If I go to a new stock it might be better, but I went to a new stock on my...

    Hi, I would like to replicate a factory load from Federal. The original load was 180 Nosler solid base bullets with 67.5 grains of powder. (It shot well) What powder would work? Also, pulled a Nosler 180 grain accubond from a factory Norma 300 wsm and it has 68.6 grains. What powder do you...

    Giving blood-hiking performance!

    Hi, I give blood regularly, and I did so a few days before going out hunting. So I’m climbing the “mountain of death” (I hate it so but you go where the animals are) and 3/4 of the way up I’m just hitting a wall! Not the normal “this sucks why am I doing this” but just flat bonked and blah...

    Idaho Hells Canyon archery 2022

    I LOVE this photo..It will bring you to “Religion” in short order. Nothing is as mentally debilitating as looking at your GPS and realizing camp is on the other side of that after busting your butt all day. Hells Canyon is no joke. You all spending more than 3 days chasing animals is...

    Match grade barrels, Sako Versus Kimber

    Well, I do have the bigger power scopes on my Sako’s. Shoot the first shot, dial up the power and aim for that hole. If it’s good ammo, you might be surprised on the outcome. 😉

    Match grade barrels, Sako Versus Kimber

    One of the things I learned from competition shooting is your rifle/shotgun should be fitted to you. (By someone who is qualified) Will do wonders for your accuracy.

    Match grade barrels, Sako Versus Kimber

    I have to agree. I love the 14” lop on all my Sako’s. How you guys can shoot “short” rifles is beyond me... 😁

    Match grade barrels, Sako Versus Kimber

    I have a soft spot for Sako’s myself. (I have a number of Sako’s with my fav being the finnlight 75 300 wsm) It’s a “choice” as modifications/changes are not as simple like other rifles (Tikka’s have all the aftermarket goodies available just like Remington’s) My Sako’s tend to be picky in...

    The mysterious case of the missing 30/06 ammunition.

    Oh that’s the story. Those creedmoor folks are wildly outta control. Though I wouldn’t mind a 300 PRC. It just sounds so sexy.

    The mysterious case of the missing 30/06 ammunition.

    Here...I just looked up 165 grain for 30-06. You can get less expensive as well...I just went for the “good stuff” It costs $10 for shipping but you get what you want. Or you can keep searching and praying that the rest of us with 30-06’s don’t buy the ammo before you get some. 😊
