    6.5 creedmore vs. 25-06 vs. 260 Remington?

    Im looking for a new long range coyote rifle. I have a few rifles picked out depending on the caliber. I cant decide between the 260 remington, the 6.5 creedmore, and the 25-06. Ill be exclusively hunting coyotes at most any ranges within 500 yards, and I may be doing some target shooting...

    Weatherby vs. T/C vs. Browning?

    Thanks highcountry, I'll be putting a 40mm objective scope on it so I don't think a cheek piece will be needed. I think I'm leaning towards the 110 PH.

    Weatherby vs. T/C vs. Browning?

    Thank you everybody for the feedback. From the replies and more research, I have ruled out the Browning and T/C. But I have also done some more persistent looking into some Savage rifles and a few caught my eye. So here is my updated list. Weatherby vanguard S2 blued - 25-06 Savage 111 BTH...

    Weatherby vs. T/C vs. Browning?

    I'm looking for a new coyote rifle. I'v decided on the caliber: a 25-06, but I cant decide on the rifle. I'll be shooting exclusively moon dogs anywhere from 15 - 400 yards. I'm looking at the T/C Venture synthetic w/blued barrel and reciever. I'v heard of problems with these like the hogue...

    Opinions on 270 WSM?

    I own a Tikka T3 lite stainless in a 270 WSM and love it. One thing to consider also, is recoil. The 270 avergaes around 20 ft/lbs with 150 grain bullets, whereas the 308 is around 15 ft/lbs. This may not matter if it is going to be an exclusive hunting rifle, but if you plan on spending some...

    Break changing POI

    If the break isn't evenly ported, just a slight change in the alignment of the ports may change how the pressure release affects the bullet. It's nothing to worry about you just need to adjust your scope accordingly.

    T/C vs. Weatherby vs. Mossberg?

    Im looking to buy a new deer rifle. I've picked the caliber: a 30-06. But i can't decide on the rifle. I have narrowed down my list to a T/C Venture Weather Shield composite for $500, a Weatherby Vanguard S2 synthetic with blued barrel for $550, and a Mossberg 4X4 Grey laminate stock and...

    Help me pick my birthday gift

    I would suggest a Tikka T3 lite stainless. It's only 750 bones but shoots and feels like something three times as much. Mine is in a 270 WSM which a great cartridge. Iv put 3 shots through one hole at 150 yards and killed several deer with it. My second suggestion would be a browning a-bolt...

    Med to large game cals and rifles

    I shoot a Tikka T3 stainless in a 270 WSM. Shoots great and could kill anything you would want to in North America. It's a great gun. I don't reload for it at the moment but I hope to be able to soon.

    I am getting a new deer rifle and I want info on the scope for it. The gun is a Tikka T3 lite stainless in a 270 WSM. I don't have much experience with scopes so I need help. I will be hunting on in Kansas in the fields and thin timber, I will also be shooting pronghorn in the plains of...

    Savage AXIS or marlin XL7

    Between the two I would go with the marlin. The bolt is smoother trigger crisper and lighter. If your not deaf set and have some flexibility in price I would look at the weatherbys, tikkas, and the different models savage makes. What are you going to be using the gun for and what caliber will it...

    What's your caliber of choice, for coyotes?

    Couldn't agree more with the 257 Wby. It is a great round and perfect for ruining that 400 yard yoters day.

Iv picked out four a tikka t3 lite SS, a T/C venture synthetic, a Remington 700 SPS, and a browning x-bolt hunter. Unfortunately I have no experience with any of these. They all fit me well...
