Jeff can be a mean bass turd. 450 grains at 2700fps is can full of whupass in both directions.

I have a similar guide to Feenix' chart and it works very well. Long before there were 'temp stable' (Hodgdon was not always labeled so) I discovered that loads worked up in cool weather would pressure badly shooting P-Dogs in the summer. I ended up with summer p-dog loads and regular big game...

If you were fine with 4X on the low end I would add the NF NX8 4-32 to the list along with the Leupold VX-6HD 4-24 and let the reticle you like best make the final decision.

Thanks for the reply fordy, and good day to you, . The bear part of this is the real trick. Couple of things to note. I will not be the archer so shot angle could be any. I have not seen a brown bear arrowed, but if they are like the rest of the bears I have seen, you still don't know what...

I went with the 236 in the RUM with 3100 in mind. I made it and will settle in right at 3160, but now that the 220HHT showed up the day after this 210 it has the wheels turning. The only purpose of my RUM is to be able to stem to stern a 9' bear that may already have an arrow in it. I may...

I think right now I would take the Fierce version of the Sako action if I had to build one rifle and live with it.

On paper the 704 was about as good as it gets. I had a LAW in 260 and the rifle as a whole was great.

I got my money back again. Maybe next year.

^ that or your scope erector let loose.

Not so much. There has always been the 10% and there always will be. It's just 10% of a bigger number now.

This is hilarious, sorry, but dang. Just lose 20 lbs don't smoke and your golden? If you start out in great shape 1.5 pounds off an 8 pound rifle is still 19%. Now if you can take 19% off everything in your pack you just made your 60 pound pack a 49 pound pack. That can be the difference of...

We killed a ton of deer with 24 and 22" barreled 260s. Ranges have been 5 to 425 yards but most have been 50 to 200. My all time favorite is the 125 Partition. I like the 100 Partition as well. Both will give you some bruising, the front end is actually pretty soft, but they kill very quick...

These are amazing, you would use it. I have an M2 as well and it has been on the soup line since my first hunt with the Ultralight. They are beautiful but the finish is quite durable. Anyone that gets this shotgun will only wish they had gotten one sooner. GLWS WVHick!

Do you know this to be a true fact?

Weather the spit and polish is worth it is all in the eye of the beholder.
