    7mm-08 or 30.06 for Moose?

    Yes, they do, and the shot placement is the key.

    Another Spartan Precision Masterpiece

    Yeah, but now I'm conflicted as to which rifle to use on a hunt coming up, this one or the Precision Ultralight Hunting Rifle he built for me. Both are shooting lights out good.

    Another Spartan Precision Masterpiece

    After waiting a bit for the parts to show up, Marc finished up my new tactical/competition rig. The particulars are: Surgeon 591 action, Bartlein 4 groove, Jewell trigger at 1 lb., KMW Sentinel stock and DBM, Badger Ordnance Thruster muzzle brake. I moved my S&B PM II 5-25x over to it...

    A Precision Ultralight Hunting Rifle

    I definitely traded some portability to get the adjustable stock. I'm sure that, with an ultralight stock, this would be a featherweight in the high 6s or low 7s. But when it gets to anything beyond 300 yards, I just shoot much better with an adjustable stock.

    A Precision Ultralight Hunting Rifle

    After some load testing, I'm now seeing H4831SC giving excellent results, 1/4" to 1/3" at 100 yards. I'm going to move out now to longer distances with the same loads. Given the terminal ballistics reputation of the 140 gr Berger VLD, I'm betting that this can be my do-everything rifle.

    A Precision Ultralight Hunting Rifle

    First Range Report After six rounds of factory to zero the scope (that's really the extent of my "break in"), I settled in with some test loads with H4831SC and H4350. All were with 140gr Berger Hunting VLD, virgin Lapua brass, and CCI BR-2 primers. COAL was 0.004" off the lands, for a 3.132"...

    A Precision Ultralight Hunting Rifle

    Re: Spartan Arms Precision Ultralight Hunting Rifle I don't believe my original post violated the rules. I was just bragging.

    Re: Spartan Arms Precision Ultralight Hunting Rifle When I take it apart for a detailed clean I'll weigh the barreled action.

    A Precision Ultralight Hunting Rifle

    Re-posted by Len ---------------------- Introducing my latest and greatest long range hunting tool. I'm not sure what to call it: Precision Ultralight Hunting Rifle or Spartan Precision Carbon Ti Featherweight rifle package or The Peregrine. I'm waiting for the gunsmith to name the...

    Which type of Long Range Shooting do you practice most?

    I shoot prac/tac as a way to practice for hunting.

    Would you take the shot?

    No, I would pass. The margin of error is higher than the kill zone.

    Bad Luck With Bergers

    I've had the opposite problem with Bergers - they destroy too much - and I occasionally go back to Accubonds for shorter distances.

    One dead on and one always to the left?

    I've had the same experience with my .300 WinMag.
