    280AI Savage UltraLight with Maven S5 update

    If you’re in the PNW, go to your local BiMart, they can order any gun reasonable. I told them the make and model I wanted. They told me that they will search but not likely available for a while. Get home, 3 hours later, they called saying they had located one and if I still wanted it, went...

    Oregon Spring Bear 2024 application time

    I think you have to wait until July to buy preference points, you may want to check this years regs to verify. Going off old memories.

    Oregon Spring Bear 2024 application time

    Just friendly reminder to get your tag applications submitted. Closes very soon, the 10th. Good luck. Think I’m going to try Idaho spring bear to get a taste and layout of some of that territory.

    To pump your gas, Oregon still has attendants in some areas.

    Yes cash back, however in Oregon, they has the fastest attendants, not just some old plain methhead.

    280AI Savage UltraLight with Maven S5 update

    if it’s a new rifle, they say oil the bolt, cycle 100 times, oil the bolt cycle 100 times then clean bolt light oil, should feel better. It kind of polish3s the metal and sets in, I’ve never done it, I just shoot.

    280AI Savage UltraLight with Maven S5 update

    I believe that’s the nature of a savage bolt, it’s takes me some time espically if I shot my tikka and jump to the savage. The savage feels more solid and lock up where as the tikka is butter and falls by itself. All of my savages are “stiff”

    280AI Savage UltraLight with Maven S5 update

    Love hearing that, hopefully this 280AI does the same. Starting out that way with just a quick load of leftovers from my other guns. Now time to work up a load or two.

    Estate Planning

    Some things are simple that get overlooked, is your checking and savings, 401k, etc.. have a beneficiary? Some states allow beneficiaries on the mortgage deed. The more that goes straight to them, less probate in most cases. As well as trust, some states (social security ) require 5 year...

    280AI Savage UltraLight with Maven S5 update

    I have an old 110 in 3006 that will shoot any combination and weight, the wife took that gun from me as hers. If this works out, I may have to let my Nosler 300wm rifle go down the road and get another ultralight.

    280AI Savage UltraLight with Maven S5 update

    Well, had a break in the rain to only have fog, could only shoot 50 yards. That would be ok for breaking in a new barrel and getting scope on target. Just threw 21 bullets of Speer 160 BT behind some IMR 4831 since I have 3 lbs to just send lead down range. This gun is going to be a shooter I...

    Primer assistance

    Thank you, I’ll add the 150 to my journal for future consideration. Yeah, I’m looking for this to be my tinker gun, 300wm is really heavy, 7mag needs updating (cheaper to get the 280AI that I picked up) and my 7mm08 lever will probably be handed down if this works out. Still like the lever for...

    I have bought 160 accubonds, 162 eldx and (143 hht to hopefully hunt with) to work up and see which one is the most consistently accurate. All 3 should perform well in the gun as well on critters.
