So how do you know that this barrel is rated for a 180gr bullet without pre mature wear to it? Want to use it for as close as 50-200yrds. I recently shot it at 50, 100, 150 using federal 165gr bullets, and performed very accurate. Still wanting to explore and test the 175gr range. gohring3006...

Thanks RT2506, but I have not read much about shooters and there actual use of a 180gr bullet with the Rem 783. Do you have any articles to support the shinning of a 180gr bullet in conjunction with the rifle?

I bought a new Rem 783, .308 w/ 22in barrel and 10" barrel twist. I'm wanting to find a bigger bullet for my elk hunting, anyone else try a 180gr through this gun yet? I've read alot about 160gr bullets but already shooting that through my 700 .308. Any help will be appreciated.

Got my hands on a leftover Wy Elk area 8 tag. I have never hunted there or even near, been looking at some maps and about to put some boots on the ground but just getting my resources looked at and and tapping into the forum. I am wondering what everyone knows about wy elk are 8, and public land...

Awesome good information to hear abou the M-880! Ya on the height I went a little higher than the 36in it reccomends and I used the aim feture to see what all it was going to capture and it seemed to shoot exactly where i think it needed to be shooting. Tomorrow Im hiking into my elk spot to...

So I've read just about all the Fourms in this section and have a pretty good idea of whats good and not good with people's picture proof and field use. One name that I havent heard much about on here is Wildgame Innovations. Even though there a little new Im thinking about giving them a try...

Area 50 this year! harvested one in area 57 last year!

Not to sure what exact areas of the country ya'll are talking about but I think around WY and north into montana and surrounding areas the Wolves are doing there fair share in killing off wildlife. Here's a article about what some of our very well know Elk foundations are doing for wolf...

2012 elk and antelope hunt. The elk was taken in area 11 and the antelope was taken in 57 in a special public game maganment area. This was my first elk and first antelope. I got the elk right before sundown got the picture and gutted it in the dark, cold enough (before it started to snow) to...

Just regular ol' VX-III not the VX-I. http://www.leupold.com/hunting-shooting/scopes/vx-3-riflescopes/vx-3-6-5-20x40mm-30mm-side-focus/

I'll have to shoot them a email and ask them what they can do for me and some costs. Thanks for the suggestion P.S. Leupold's new site is up and running! Dont know how different it looks from what it use to be but it seems pretty neat and easy to navigate!

thanks for all the input. anything anyone can add will be much appreciated

bruce, glare performance hasn’t been a personal issue for me, but I have taken what you said into consideration. Do a lot of these higher end scopes i.e vortexes and now to my interest weaver have huge problems with glare in there higher power scopes and what can i do to rid the glare if it is a...

Well hunting wise anything from skunk, coyote, deer, antelope, and elk. Kinda a large spectrum of animals but towards the big game side of that I need/want to be able to reach out to the 200-300yd range and 400-600yd range i suppose. On the flip side just going out to shoot I want to get into...
