    M1A or AR-308

    I have read many post on websites such as Sniperhide.com and they almost all say the AR platform is more accurate. The M1A definately scores high in style points but from what I gather, 1-2 MOA is the norm on most models. I also hear they take quite a bit of tuning to make them consistant in...

    BORS Barrett?

    I got a buddy that is going to be putting one on a 338 Edge. He is putting it on a 3.5X15 NF. I hear they are about $1500. gotta be pretty cool though.

    Minimizing Damage to Coyotes With 300 RUM

    A coyote was the first animal I shot when I had my 300 RUM built. at the time I was shooting 200 accubonds at 3100 fps. I shot the coyote at approximately 200 yards and it was absolutely devistating. It literally went through the front and ripped the right rear leg off. To say something about...

    Here it is!

    Wow Tyler! It has been a long road. I remember you trying to decide what caliber and asking for dummy 338 Edge rounds to drool over while you saved money and studied hard. Great job at sticking with it and achieving your goal. There is nothing like a custom rifle! Nice work! keep us posted with...

    Leupold Mark 4 M3

    In my opinion I would say yes it is too course. If you wanted to shoot at 1200 yrds, each click will move you 12 inches. With a 12-16 inch vitals target, that doesnt leave much room to be off on your clicks. you would have to adjust your hold to split the difference. The norm seems to be 1/4...

    switch from MOA to MIL

    I am using MILs to hold for wind in my Leupold with the TMR reticle. So far I have had good luck with it. Havent needed it much inside 400 yards with the 210 Bergers but past that it has been pretty good. More of an art than science. I dont know any mathmatical reason why I hold 1 mil or 2...

    What do you think of this???

    Sure there is some grey area here but like others have said, how many trophys were lost due to these criminals before the sting. Undercover work is done in the grey area. Wheather its buying drugs, guns, or big horns, there is now text book for this stuff. Obviously they agent didnt want to...

    Long rifles and 4 wheelers

Has anyone here made their own case? or found one long enough to mount some were on a quad? Any help...

    opinions wanted

    Upon further research I saw some load data in my Nosler #6 loading manuel. the 338-06 A square is published to have approximately 2570fps with a 225 grn accubond and approximately 2420fps with the 250 partition. the test barrel was a 24'' lilja. hope this helps.

    opinions wanted

    I'm willing to bet you will find the same results from the 338 FED. As you would with a 338-06 with heavy bullets. The 30-06 case inst all that much bigger than the 308 case and once you stick a heavy 338 bullet in there it would pretty much cancel out any advantage the 06 case had. I have seen...

    Please help me pick the right Caliber

    Hello and welcome! I'm sure you are very familiar with the 223 remington aka 5.56 nato. It seems like a good fit. Lots of possiblities with this round. Great in bolt guns or in a AR platform (fun factor) The one problem you might have is finding a cartridge that is a good squirrel gun AND a...

    NE Washington Elk????

    The shoot would be fun but I'm wondering how my rifle would do. My 300 Rum heats up too hot to touch after about 4 rounds. I hear you usually shoot 10 rounds per stage? I've always wanted to build a 6.5. Just something about that caliber is sweet! Who built yours? Do you ever shoot out at Mica...
