    How Many Rounds Fired In One Range Trip

    Depends on the rifle. The heavy barreled 260 Rem with brake will sometimes to 50 rounds per session while my lightweight 280AI I start to get fatigued after about 15 rounds.

    Cleaning with patches only

    In my heaviest and most accurate rifle that wears a Kreiger barrel, I start with a bronze brush dipped in Hoppes No.9 for about 20 strokes down and back. Then I do a couple dry patches to get the gunk out. From there I hit it with a few patches saturated with Sweets 7.62 copper solvent and end...

    Rifles wished to be produced‼️?? Wishlist

    A Remington 700 pattern rifle with a 22-24" 1-8 or 1-7 twist varmint barrel chambered in 5.56×45. Bergara had one for a minute in the HMR but it has since been discontinued to my knowledge. I just want something fun and cheap to shoot shoot out to 1000 yards with moderately priced match bullets.

    Looking for Binocular Recommendations

    I did see a couple reviews on them with the B2 model being compared to Swaro SLC and Vortex UHD Razors. My new hunting friends have a couple sets of the them and I might have to play with them a bit to see how I like them.

    Looking for Binocular Recommendations

    Looking for recommendations for new binos for the upcoming season. Been running Vortex Diamondback HD 10×42's for a few years and while I think they're great for the price range I'm just looking for something better. I mainly hunt bear, deer and elk in Central Idaho and occasionally western...

    Looking for opinions please. Lightweight backpack

    Just ditched my Eberlestock M5 for a Kuiu Pro LT 5500 set up. Plenty of capacity for multiple days but at 3.7 lbs it's still 3.1 lbs lighter than my Eberlestock which was 2500 cu/in. Only used it once so far packing out a hind quarter of my buddies cow. The sling load capability is a fantastic...

    New guy, 280ai

    I'm working with the Hornady 150gr CX bullet right now. Size wise it's probably a touch bigger than the 160 accubond with a rather long bearing surface. I'm developing a load with Ramshot Hunter. I went as far as I was comfortable with it yesterday and was able to hit 3080 fps out of a 24"...

    remington m 700

    Not too many thoughts. I'm hoping the new RemArms Company can get their act together and produce quality rifles. My last couple from the former Remington had some questionable QC. It would be nice to be able to buy an off the shelf rifle that would compete with Tikka or Bergara at a similar...

    Lots of primers & powder

    Yeah, I'm down I Salmon. For the past 5 months or so, even time I've been to Scheels up there they've had primers in stock but I haven't touched them once the prices went up. I did buy 2k CCI magnum small rifle for $79.99 back in August but those prices have since increased. Bob Wards in...

    7mm prc

    It's considerably larger than the 6.5PRC. It's a modern rendition of the 7mm Rem Mag. With it being designed to function at a SAAMI 3.340" which means it's purposely designed to fit in the standard long actions around unlike the larger 300 PRC.

    Fierce Rifles

    I don't own one, but I've shot one belonging to my hunting partner. It remains the most accurate factory rifle I've ever shot. It lived up the accuracy guarantee from the factory. It's only a sample size of 1 but if I was dropping my own money on a premium hunting rifle I'd take a serious look...
