I have used seekings and vortex precision. I have the vortex rings on a 300 winmag and I haven't had any problems with either the scope or the rings getting loose. Just my two cents.
I just removed my Savage factory barrel and it was a bitch to get the factory barrel off. They put that sucker on super tight. The go/no gauges are necessary and so is the Savage barrel nut wrench. This guy used a split 2x4 with a hole drilled in it for a barrel vise and it worked for me. Give...
I have been making steady improvement since my last post in November of last year. I am not coming in last anymore in our matches. I am getting a little better and finally shooting almost as good as Grizzly is capable of. I upgraded the trigger from a tuned factory trigger to a Timney that is...
I own a remington 700 vls .308 that I can't find any information on. The remington site shows the 700 vls in .308 but only in blue steel. I have the rifle in stainless. I even entered the order number of 27465 in the search bar and it returns with no results. I have the booklet that came with...
I joined a range down here this past year that has monthly NRA sanctioned matches out to 600 yards. I shoot in the FTR class with "Grizzly" and after shooting in 5 matches I am holding my own. These guys have been shooting competitively for decades and they are all using specialized gear and...
I wonder when they changed their serial number format. I ordered my Defiance action two years ago and I also did the custom serial number. My serial number is my police radio call sign of 4 letters and 4 numbers. It's not on a 338 based action but on a 300 mag action. Maybe that makes a...
I once had a lot of accuracy problems with a 700 bdl in 243. Never got it to shoot right. Finally got the action trued up and an aftermarket barrel put on by Grit on this site. Search for "build thread for phpd1295" to see what was done to it and the results. I will never buy a factory rifle...
I am interested in doing something out of state for anything other than deer. Muley and antelope would be perfectly fine. Only issue is that I haven't hunted any DIY hunts before. All of my hunts have been in Texas in blinds or on refuge land. I don't mind if I don't kill something as long as I...
I am looking at doing a hunt in 2015. I should have my 300 done by then. I am looking at doing an Elk hunt with a guide outfit. I would like it to be challenging but not too extreme. I am still looking at different guide services. Which have you looked into and what kind of hunt are you looking...
