What state(s) do you hunt big game in most often? Oregon What is your primary long range hunting cartridge? .260 Remington -------------------------------------- Regarding your primary long range hunting cartridge choice above: Do you use factory ammunition? No If so, which brand and...

Something to look at until October....

AJ, Congratulations! You have ethics and you respect your quarry. You are a true hunter. While reading I began wondering if I had posted this. My wife isn't anti by any means. We are both animal people, both country raised, and never without a couple of dogs, cats, birds or other assorted...

If I want to use factory ammo to get the best out of a new rifle, I'll usually try to find some Federal Premium. In my experience just about any caliber will shoot very well if it's a good rifle and I do my part.

Anybody got a favorite long range varmint load for the .300 Win Mag? Thinkin' 110 grain up to 130 grain. We're moving into Gray Digger season here and have decided to do some long range shooting on the huge clear cuts in the western Cascades.

Sorry wrong forum.. DELETED & MOVED

That sounds more like a detonation, overload or obstruction rather than a simple case failure or primer failure. I don't under stand how a case failure could blow the forend to pieces. I examined a Tikka T3 in 300 WM that suffered from a catostrophic case failure (complete and violent head...

I am assuming that you are referring to the so called "Extractor failing and becoming shrapnel" legend. In relation to that , Frank de Haas states in his Bolt Action Rifle book , "I have never seen a Sako action that failed in any way, or developed excess headspace after long use." I knew the...

So how's a Remnington any safer than Sako, Mauser or any other modern rifle? Please follow through on your statement.

I would go for the Sako every time. Remingtons are accurate and the actions are a great base for a custom, but the quality of the Sako is far and away superior. They are in a class that is unequaled IMO. Here are my two favorite rifles. Both are old time customs built by an old one legged...

I'm a medium twitch kinda guy. If I can get the recliner foot rest up, and reach my coffee...what the hell!!!

I was told by one of the locals from over around Silvies that they follow a cycle. He said that he and his brother will find a trail and sit and watch it everyday for a week or so. He said that they seem to come back around. He claims that his brother got 3 nice ones in one day.

Good thought. You may have solved the mystery. Sick Coyotes could fit the description and would attack anything that they could catch.

Rupe, I was told that there are a lot of hogs around Post, but that you need to talk to the locals and get permission from land owners. However, have also talked to a friend who is a retired Lane Co. deputy who still does volunteer work for the game dept. He said that their presence has been...
