    700 LA wood stock

    I have a CDL that I was considering selling. It has a magnum barrel channel. It has some smudging of the checkering and is bedded so I probably should keep it. I did find one on Gunbroker though. Remington 700 LA BDL

    Disappointed in non-resident hunters

    If you can afford it, buy your own land and use it as you see fit. Seriously not trying to be snide. NR revenue is 2/3 of the revenue generated by hunters in Wyoming. Residents are only contribute 1/3. I would venture a guess that it would decrease the ability for most hunters to afford a...

    Disappointed in non-resident hunters

    Less hunters is mean even higher fees. Would you enjoy paying $700 for a deer or antelope tag? How abour $1400 for an elk tag?Hunting would become a rich man's sport even more than it is now. If you hunt on public land, be ready to deal with the public. It is an unreasonable expectaion to...

    Disappointed in non-resident hunters

    I did not read all the posts. It is human nature to want to blame someone and most love to complain too. The "Non Residents are horrible" is common everywhere. Pennsylvanians complain about Ohioans, Georgians love to complain about Alabamians, Arizonans complain about Californians etc. Every...

    What’s your favourite hunting arrow?

    I have shot Gold Tip Hunter XTs and Easton Axis 5mm without any issues in durability, straightness or fliers. I recommend either one.

    243 or 6mm reminton

    A thought just popped into my head...How hard is it to make 6mmRem brass from 7x57 brass?

    243 or 6mm reminton

    It is really up to you. If you want something that is mainstream with readily available ammo and brass then go with the 243. If you want something uncommon, and shoots faster/flatter but ammo/brass is harder to find then the 6mmRem is your choice. Plenty of 6mm Remington ammo is still out...

    What is the most hated deer rifle you owned ?

    For me, it was a Rugerr 77 Ultralight in 30-06. It kicked pretty bad which I think was due to stock design since I had no issues shooting an 8 pound 375HH that was a Remington 700 XCR and a McMillan stock. The 77 was just not all that accurate with any factory ammo. The only load approaching...

    Vortex lht comments?

    I have had one Vortex scope. A 4-16x44 Viper HST. It was not a bad scope. It tracked great but the glass should have been better. I got a lot of hazing and general lack of clarity when compared to a Zeiss V4 or an Athlon Helos BTR Gen2. I was disappointed since I think Vortex is a great...

    McMillan LA Hunters Edge Sporter Stocks

    Any idea how this stock compares to their Mountain Rifle stock? I was about to order one for a 270 with a 24” barrel. I have several MRs and it fits me well.

    Erik Cortina is going to do the Backfire challenge

    I am glad EC is doing the challenge. BF is kind of a dork but does have a little worthwhile content.

    McMillan Game Scout

    I am getting ready to order McMillan stock or two. I own several but all are the Remington Mountain Rifle style. I am considering a Game Scout on a Rem 700 in 270W and for a Rem700 223. Any feedback on this pattern for shots from the prone position or off a tripod? Are there better options...
