I have always had great success with the starlight brand of cases. Polymer case able to withstand the typical military standards for protection.

[ QUOTE ] I'll chime in on this...... If you want something just a bit different why not consider the 270AI? With more bullets being developed for that caliber and the fact that it is just a good caliber for your needs. If your barrel is anything like mine, give it a super good cleaning...

[ QUOTE ] using a long action actualy gives a benifit of being able to seat realy long high BC bullets way out so you get the most case space for powder. [/ QUOTE ] I hadn't thought of that regarding the seating depth. Now you really have me thinking. Might pop a couple long Bergers in the...

I bought my first rifle in the early 90's and have dropped countless 4 legged critters. The rig is Browning A-Bolt camo stalker (laminated green/black stock) chambered for .270. Unfortunately, the groups are starting to open up and I believe a new barrel is in the future. Now I feel very...

I bought my daughter a Tikka T3 light in 7mm-08 for her first bear hunt. The Nosler partitions did a superb job with her well placed shot. Matter of fact, I'm planning on taking the rifle for PA's bear season on Monday 11/20

I have debated for some time about building a solid "average" mountain light weight rifle to hunt deer sized animals. I have the super ultra wiz bang magnums in both small and large bore. I keep leaning toward the 7mm-08 caliber but I have seen a few folks chamber rifles in the "improved"...

Greetings to all I've notice a few rigs here on the size that have oversized bolt handles. I am looking to do something similar but not sure of the pros/cons of one style or another. I'm not even sure the cost for that type of mod or who would be a good smithy? Thanks in advance

Just picked up a VX-III LR/T 6.5-20x50mm w/30mm tube to mounted on a SH .308 Rem 700 Police. I was curious on the type/height if rings you think I'll need. I'm sure a set of Leupold medium rings would do the trick. Just looking for something different maybe a bit more manly. I've used Talley...

Lemm, I am not sure what is available to you in your neck of the woods. I recently purchase a 700 Police model. They are difficult to find as they are run twice a year at the factory. The main difference is the HS Precision stock that provides a bench rest feel (nice palm swell). The other...

[ QUOTE ] Why not try a high capacity 20 cal like 20-250, 20 BR or similar capacity and shoot the Berger 50 grain 20 cal bullets [/ QUOTE ] Because I want to include deer as a possible target for the rifle as mentioned in the original post. I guess I ended up getting a rifle that is a...

I was surprised to see so many responses to the post...bit off topic but some great info to think about. Well I purchased a Rem700 Police model, 26" barrel, .308 cal, HS Stock, matte black. Just to be able to shoot the sucker, I picked up 168gr A-max factory loads. Give me something to do...

Well the short version of a long story with many many variables, I have put the custom rifle on hold for a while. But the itch still remains for a different rifle, so I have decided to look at the factory route with the intentions of possibly using this action down the road for the custom...

[ QUOTE ] Once you get that 115 grain bullet rolling down a 30 inch barrel with a dump truck load of powder behind it you will have something to smile about. [/ QUOTE ] I fully understand the need for speed and powder dump trucks. However, I am not so sure that I want to deal with such a...

Well folks it has been too long without the purchase of a new rifle of sorts. For a few years now, I have been kicking around the idea of a critter rifle. I purchase a sweet 700 in the .204 Ruger caliber in Feb. and it is an awesome rifle/grouper but beyond 350 it just does not have it. So I...
