The more I read and pick the brain of others the more I learn and have me changing my thoughts a little. Seems a big negative on 284 is short barrel life. So many options, but I dont think I want to go with anything too obscure. A popular one seems to be 6.5x47 or the 260AI. I just dont see...

Would you please give me some input as this is my first custom build? This will be something to pack around so keeping it under 9 lbs and keep the components (excluding base, scope, rings) $1,000 or so. These are the components I have preliminarily decided upon, but certainly not set on any of...

After a little digging around on old recollection of different things I have read about shadetree gunsmithing, I remembered on about the Savage Axis' terrible trigger. The fix for that was to cut one ring of the spring off to lighten it up to about half the pull weight. So, I decided that...

If I understand correctly, the only thing to improve this crappy ABolt trigger is to buy the Timney spring that will fit right in my OEM Browning trigger? I don't even need an actual Timney trigger? Is this teh one you all recommend? Timney Trigger Spring Kit Browning A-Bolt 2 to 3 lb

Have you heard the quote from old Abe about remaining silent? It may be good advice in this case..Cabela's is their local store.....their local national store that are only found in very large areas...is their local store...??? That makes no sense to me. Fair, carnival or bananza...call it...

I await the account of your experience and I know that you will be left sorely disappointed as they only give you 90 days. Not to mention my experience of finding out that a lifetime warranty on Cabelas brand products means only one year. Yet another deceptive business practice. They have...

Thank you sir! Guess what I just ordered! That would be the spotter, binos and strap all for $309 with shipping and tax (both free)!

I am looking for one, but since they retail for $320 your price for a used item seems a bit high.

I have heard that many manufacturer's data sets have evolved to be much more conservative over a few decades presumably due to litigation liability. However, one might also presume that it may be due to the evolution of more efficient powders. I can't speak from any personal knowledge, but...

Good info, thanks! I never give much consideration to 30mm, chuck hawks says it is nothing more than a marketing ploy. I will look into those scopes, you make a pretty good case. Thanks for the info!

I ask this very sincerely, what is better for the money? I tried everything and they are lightyears ahead of Viper in that price range, Leupold has nothing comparable in that price range with magnfication...I am interested to hear what you like. Thanks!

You must be quite the accomplished salesman, Cabela's along with many other places currently has them for $450 new with the $100 factory rebate. Why did you sell it? I just bought mine recently and really like it.

I am just curious, of these 7 how old are they? What they build now is quite distinct from the old stuff and there certainly is a huge difference between an entry level $300 axis..just curious. I owned a few a Rem 700's and just learned to live with crappy shooting at way over 1", but now that...

At that price range, their is only one real competitor IMHO, that of Savage. I have the model 16 Bear Hunter 300 WSM, 0.41" 3 shot pattern at 100 yards right out of the box. That is a little more than $500, but the model 11/111 is almost as good, but without the accustock. The 111 XP trophy...

Five surgeons from big cities are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on. The first surgeon, from New York, says, 'I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.' The second, from Chicago, responds, 'Yeah, but you...
