What state(s) do you hunt big game in most often? North Carolina What is your primary long range hunting cartridge? .270 Winchester -------------------------------------- Regarding your primary long range hunting cartridge choice above: Do you use factory ammunition? Sometimes...

Thanks I was just looking for something that was loaded or unloaded that was for a longer carbine barrel rather than a short pistol barrel. Seems that pistol rounds would not burn slow enough to get the maximum advantage out of the longer tube. It was a long shot LOL

Does anyone know of a relatively higher BC bullet that can be used in a 44 Magnum rifle and a good powder or two. Trying to find something better than pistol bullets.

I came across a thread on owner satisfaction with Kimbers with many, many respondents on www.24hourcampfire The overall flavor of it was something like 30-50 percent were happy with guns that shot 1.5 inches or less and functioned reliable. The rest were very, very unhappy with unreliable...

Thanks for the reply and for the specs on the bell. Never even considered the rear end. Do you think regular medium height leupold rings would be a good choice? I was wanting those Burris rings with the inserts.

I have one on order and need to get some rings ordered. Bushnell tech support (or website) could not provide outside diameter of objective bell so I'm unsure if I need medium or high Burris Signiture rings. Any help appreciated. The scope is going on a calling rig LVSF 700 in .17 Remington...

Thanks for checking. I've seen them from $550 to $599 without the card. Sounds like a good deal.

I got an email from Costco about the D-40 Nikon w/ 18-55 lens kit, but it won't give me the price. Can somebody check it for me? They are 40 miles away, but a good price, might make joining worthwhile. I want one with a USA warrenty--maybe that's the catch. Thanks in advance

That is a cool project. Would also make a heck of a bean field rifle on whitetails. For what you want would it not be better to do the 300 WSM necked to 7mm pushing 120 grain Ballistic Tips w/ B.C. .417

I already own a 2.5 x 8 Leupy w/ standard duplex and love it, but find it a little lacking on the high end as my eyes get older. I thought also about their heavy duplex, but worried it might negate long range precision on groundhogs and load development. I knew that firefly had to be hit with a...

I need a scope for a Remington LVSF in .17 Remington. Will be using Berger 25 and 30 grain match bullets. This gun will be used for predator calling (coyote, fox and bobcat) and some occasional summer groundhog shooting. Shots will be mostly 20 yards to 100 yards when predator hunting and may...

In regard to this ability to customize the twist of the barrel, is there a "formula" to spec the theoretical perfect twist for a specific bullet in a specific caliber at a specific velocity?

[ QUOTE ] I can't remember which company it is OTT I think but one of them that makes Encore barrels uses EDM to chamber their barrels , I was kinda hesitant about it but their are severl guys I'v talked to that have their barrels and love them. I think I'll give it a little more time before I...
