I too like the wood, My only synthetic stocks are on a Kimber 8400 Montana and a Knight Bighorn. I don't like either one very much. The Kimber has a blind mag that makes it a pain to load and unload. Its light but feels "soleless", while the stock on the Muzzy is of much poorer quality...

I'm interested

Still available? LaGriz

How do you feel about the credit card companies coding our purchase? Are you OK with Discover or Visa collecting information on firearm related purchases for the DOJ, NSA, or the ATF? Having never committed a mustimeter let alone a felony, I find this practice to be repugnant. The 4th...

Made the payment thru Pay Pal. Sent you my address by text. Please confirm the payment once you get it.

Is this still available? I will take it. I have a 1955 Savage 99 with a 24"bbl in this 300 Savage caliber. Best I can do with Remington 150 CL is 1.5" at 100. Hope I can do better with this load. I will send you an E-mail. LaGriz

Can the brain trust out there tell me how a government shutdown will effect my October rifle hunt in Wyoming's Unit 40? Thanks in Advance to all. LaGriz

Had the pleasure to hunt in the Frank Church back in 1997. The wolves had not yet taken over in the late 1990"s. Was in the 240# range (offshore diet) at the time. Managed to drop some weight prior to the pack in. Outfitter looked me over hard as he had 225# max as his standard. The 16 mile pack...

tracker12, Excuse the high jack, but I too am looking for a packer. The few elk I have killed have a tendency to die in bad places far from the truck. My tag is for a unit 40 rifle hunt. I'm 67 and plan to hunt on my own. If successful, the option to utilize a packer (with pack string) to...

ElmerFudd, The 338-06 or the 338-06AI are both capable of near .338 Win mag performance. Just do the math on a 200 gr. AccuBond at 2800 fps. Recoil sensitive shooters can get this terminal energy without the brutal slam of a magnum. Suggest you remove the steel butt plate and install a...

Deadibob, Loved your post as I too am a huge fan of the Model 70's. I agree that the Portugal FN built Featherweight that I purchased new for my Grandson in 2019 is a fine rifle. Chambered in .308 Win it shoots well and groups three different bullet weights decently with the same 100 yard...

Stay away from the very soft maxi-hunters. I have shot several deer with my Lyman Deerstalker in .54 cal. These loads fragment much too often and leave a poor blood trail. Never got an exit wound at any range! The power belts did better, but also failed to exit. Some kind of a hard cast option...

Interesting, but the election in many states did not ONLY take place on November 3rd. It instead occurred on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and then some with a known fixed number of votes needed to overcome Trumps early lead. Ballot harvesting, ballots without signatures, many posted late, late votes passed...

Grizzly Responded to my comments: "None of it absolves Trump from trying to overturn an election and instill himself as an unelected leader of an almost-to-be-former-Democracy." I didn't say Trump was absolved in my response. I was just pointing out that you ignored the unfair drubbing that...

Grizzly, You forgot or ignored what happened to the Trump campaign by our own intelligence agencies under BHO. He along with Hillary's team weaponized the FBI, DOJ, Big Tech, and a totally corrupt media in an effort to frame people in Trumps group. These acts are much worse IMO than...

Gulf of Mexico providing Wireline services for Exxon mostly in Eugene Island Blk's 314-A,B,& C plus EI-295 and 251. Was a specialist for Otis Engineering assigned to those fields. Most of the folks I worked for have since passed. Can't believe it has been that long ago. Met some good folks and...

"$50 a barrel isn't profitable for most oil producers so that's an unsustainable number. we'd need another orange loser to tank the economy again to ever see $50 oil. $75 is a number that works for producers and the public as well. and a 25% increase is no biggie then huh ? then stop crying."...

Successful! Unit 40 LE rifle any elk. Used my 9 NR points to draw this tag. I was attracted to this unit with 85% public land with no wilderness that would be excluded to me. Success rate is 40% + or- and no grizzly's to deal with. At my age I will not re-enter the P-point game. This is all part...

This Louisiana resident is torn on the subject of eliminating scopes on Muzzle Loaders. I hunt with a recurve bow by choice. I have killed a decent 5X5 mule deer in NM using a peep-sighted side lock. It was a primitive muzzy tag limited to side-locks, round balls, or conical bullets. I purchased...

12Pointer. I'm envious of your Savage 99 chambered in .358. I need to collect some more points for Iowa. My only Niece graduated from Drake last year and has scheduled a wedding there in August 2023. Might be a time to scout on that visit. Have a local friend that was successful bow hunting...

A tragic year, At age 27 I was in the third year of my forty year career in the oil industry. My best friend and roommate and I had migrated to South Louisiana from New England. The Jimmy Carter, post oil embargo years trashed employment opportunities, especially in central Mass. It was that...

Great Thread! My 1st was a Marlin 336 in ,35 Remington. Like a fool, one day I sold it. Ballistics indicated it has poor performance. Some one forgot to tell the deer. Took several whitetails at woods ranges it was designed for. Once I stepped up to a bolt action I foolishly decided I no...

Enjoyed the thread, I'm a Mass. raised New England guy who moved to South Louisiana to find work in the Oil Field. Retired (2019) from a 40 year career in the intervention segment of that industry. Have endured my share of regional bias, both at work and while hunting across the country...

I have a one piece scope base if your interested. LaGriz

I would like to try the super-performance ammo from Hornaday. I don't yet reload, but when I do will be looking for a load with a 150 AccuBond or something similar. So far I have found the Remington ammo in 3 different locations near me. Paid as little as $40 and as much as $49 per box. LaGriz

At 100 yards I'm looking at 3". Much tighter at 50. The only load I have is the Remington 150grain Core-lock. Goal is to tight the groups going forward.

Finally got sighted in today with my .300 Savage. Bore sighting was way off, almost 8" high at 50? This caused me a few extra shots to figure out. Rifle functioned just fine with no issues. The recoil is mild, even better than I hoped with no perceived barrel jump unlike my .280 rem...

IMO the guide(s) and staff deserve the tip. The Outfitter is getting his money from the fee. The personnel attention you get from the immediate staff is who & what your tipping for. They are paid a bare minimum in most cases. These are the guys that put in the 17-19 hour days and can make the...

Suggest you get on U-Tube and you will find a video that describes the codes. Located in front of the lever on the bottom of the receiver you will find a circle with a letter inside. (sometimes including a number) Was told if it had an "A" it was manufactured in 1949. if you see a "B" that would...

Looking for a Monarch African Series 1-4 X20 scope. These were typically mounted on a dangerous game rifles. I wish to mount one on a woods rifle that came with 1"rings. Nikon also made a model with a 30MM tube 1.5X4.5X24mm that might compel me to change the rings. Would also consider a Leupold...

Have only been on a few guided hunts, Tipped 10% on a unsuccessful wilderness hunt. They worked hard but I never even saw an elk. The guides (3 ) efforts were acknowledged. Learned a lot on this hunt. 1st guide did not own a pair of binos? Our cook got horse kicked early, however the food was...

Homer says, "It's comical to me to include BC in any conversation about these rounds".....Well Einstein..... these rounds are biased on a .308 case. Does BC not matter in a short action cartridge like but not limited too: 243, 260 Rem, 7M-08, just to name a few? My comments in my approval of...

Thanks 12pointer, I'll try and post some pics when I except delivery. I'm envious of your Model 99 chambered in .358 Win. This is a very underrated woods cartridge. Very similar to the 338 Federal in trajectory and I assume, performance on game. I did locate one 99 in .358 and two models...

Recoil issues, I also own a 338-06 built on a M70. Had a grind-to-fit pad installed, and although stout, it's not a major problem. This M70 does represent and deliver the recoil limit I can comfortably tolerate. That said, my much lighter .280 Remington 700 Mt. rifle has far worse...

How can one be be compelled to take a vaccine that is only certified for emergency use? If it clears that hurdle, then they can probably get it by the courts for the military. My Brother took preventive shots going into "Desert Storm" and had no choice in doing so. He claims he had side effects...

Thanks for the warning, Was surprised that I have located two sources of ammo. the 300 Savage Its easer to find then either the .280 Rem. or my .358 Win. However, only available in the Remington 150 grain core lock load. LaGriz

Update on my quest, I made a bid on a Savage 99 on Gunbroker.com and was successful. The Year of manufacture (mid-to-late 50's) is not clear. Rifle is chambered 300 Savage, has the brass round counter, and the safety is on the lever/trigger guard. The rifle comes with bases and rings...

Response to SS! Are you introducing "CRT" into our conversation about hunting pressure and animals feeling a threat? I was indicating that black bears (being a completely different species) and having being hunted in many western states for years behave differently. Grizzly's in the lower...

Have been searching on "Gun Broker" for weeks. Have eye-balled many models and find the prices to be very high. Learned the checking was done by hand into the late 50's. To save money they went to pressed checkering (ugly) around 1962. The quality of the wood varies greatly too. Post...

My thinking is that many more animals survive being hunted. How many times have you heard people say, "once the season opened the game became scarce." We become a threat. If they associate danger with humans instead of food, will they avoid us when they see, hear, or smell us. Moose in Maine...
