Good point. Even the enormously popular 6.5cm took a while to catch on.

With the kid in the picture, and in order: 6.5cm 7-08 284 Win 270WSM or 6.8W 280AI

I should have you stockpile some for me…

Went to the address on patrol the other day. Wrong zip. Not even a transposition. It’s not actually located there. Scam.

They now make an app (Tracker Detect?) for Android, so AirTags work with that platform too. I can see it being useful especially in airports, where there are hundreds of thousands of Apple products at all times, between staff and travelers. Frankly, a denser “network” than most other types...

That’s exactly what I have… I have an X-Bolt with a 3b in a Game Scout. Love it

1. I like a floating center illuminated cross - I find it allows me to focus subconsciously. I prefer it to a dot. 2. I like a clear top field for FOV 3. I like windage hashes for definite holds. That’s the real trick in shooting. Drops are just math. Holds are art. 4. I mostly dial elevation...

Nope, meant 280 / 7. One could be LA based off the 300, and the other SA based off the 6.5 case. An SA 270PRC would just be a 6.8W.

Honestly, they could do two: A 280PRC and a 7PRC…

I feel you. That’s why I finally just sprang for a 6.8w barrel. It does just about everything I’d need, and it’s ballistically equivalent to the 7prc I’d design.

Honestly, if it were a moderate 7mm (I.e. based off the 6.5PRC case), I’d love it. There are plenty of 7s that play in the >7RM territory, like the Lazzeroni, STW, etc. we need a good SA factory option in the nearly-7rm territory to compete with the 7SAUM. Heck, a standardized 7-08AI might...

Why I’m impressed with the 6.8W: - it’s very similar to Sherman’s improvements… in a factory offering - it doesn’t have a rebated rim - it’s got relatively less taper - it’s got a decently-long-enough neck - it’ll seat all .277 bullets, including the heavy-for-caliber, long, high-BC ones - it’s...

My vote: 6.8W. I like the looks of the external ballistics (wind drift), COAL and sectional density. I almost view it as a 270 WSM improved. I’m praying it’s around long enough for it to stay. If I could buy enough ammo for my hunting purposes…

Pic? Cooper generally makes some really pretty rifles. Option: rather than rebarreling… if you don’t like or need it, you can likely sell an unmolested one for equal or more, and buy a rifle in the chambering of your choice more cost-effectively. Heck, if it’s a nice Cooper in .338-06, I’ll...

Honestly, if I’m polite enough to put a muffler on my car, why not one on my gun? I get that it changes ballistics. Not a huge fan of how much length most add. But a BIG fan of the noise reduction, and one can design it differently to account for length and weight, and adjust ballistics...
