when you strike upon the rifle/ cartridge combo that works for you, makes little sense to change. That said , for a lot of us this is a hobby. Experimenting is the fun of it all.

got 7 PRC so I could have a 7-08( one of my favs) and a 7 mag (less favorite) all in one gun. Figure on loading 150s for WT and 175s for western big stuff. Sticking with recipes straight from manual for now. Range work ahead.

After me and my buddy both having bolts partially open on an elk ( crawling), I think my next gun is going to have three positionsafety or equivalent. I posted this before, both of our guns are high dollar production guns with two position safety . Six years drawing a tag plus all the...

I try to learn from long range shooters but avoid long range hunting shots. 300 yds for elk and 200 yds for mule deer. It’s just me. love banging a plate at 400 plus yds at a range but that’s not hunting.

Love some more feed back on bolt lock issues. My buddy and I both had bolts come partially opened while crawling on final leg of a long stalk. Different premium guns but both are 700 style 2 position safety. Should I get a Feirce or Sako?

I have a Nosler 21 in 280ai. Shoots sub MOA as advertised with little break in. To my delight it likes 160 grain bullets( elk hunt?). However, it will never be my favorite rifle. One , it’s a bit on the heavy side. Two, and most importantly, I had to send it back to Nosler for a new bolt. The...

Anyone done a 28 gauge turkey gun? looking For dedicated turkey gun build ideas. Must have optics as option.

High quality rain suit that doubles as wind suit out west has been a good investment .

Magic stuff,TSS, however, a Turkey gun is a rifle at 40 plus yards and benefits from tweaking. Why else would we comb the internet for tips and tricks.

Not sure on others pick. My go to gun last couple of years is a Benilli M2 in 12 gauge tuned and choked by Joe Morales of Rhino choke fame. My new infatuation is a sub gauge slam , 28 or 410. Not sure which. I have had no lost birds with no9 TSS and 12 gauge. Just kicks hard. Lots of targets...

all in on buck list hunt! chokes and ammo more critical on turkey gun than gun. just my thoughts.

wonder if there are any dedicated 28 gauge turkey guns out there? Apex TSS in my 28 gauge ”bird gun” is making good patterns out to 35 yds going sub gauge soon!

Going to experiment with lesser choke at range. I have definitely missed a short range before and I have seen and heard of it multiple times in well seasoned hunters. Great idea.

Need a Z5 plain turret cap, help?

How do you fix it?
