how do I look at the back door. If I go to licenses purchased, it shows Elk Application 481. Does that mean I'm hosed?

A lot of people like to build off of the long action (standard) so that the magazine can hold a longer overall length cartridge. Or in other words less jump to the rifling. I wouldn't sweat it. 300 wsm should be a great do-it-all round. If you end up rechambering it, although I don't think I...

I have been using a hodge podge of new layers this year. I bought a Russell Gale jacket for the outside layer. It is supposed to be semi-waterproof. I have only had it in drizzle and snow and it did okay. It cuts the wind good. One complaint is that the zippers made way too much noise when...

"Your WBY is faster and the above same shot might not exit, but it will certainly be fatal" That's an understatement. I imagine at supper you'd be spitting out quiet a bit of #7 1/2 size shot particles. LOL

I think the 7 mag is a solid choice. Why fix something that's not broke? I have nothing against the 280AI, its good too, I just have a different set of requirements. No. 1 requirement - Factory ammo needs to be readily available (e.g., able to get at the gas station if need be). Ackley...

I would only build a rifle based on an easy to get factory loaded cartridge. Period. Go with a 270, 7mm rem mag or 30-06. Back when I was younger, I hunted fairly exclusively for about 35 years with my 264 win mag. I have seen that cartridge go thru 2 or 3 cycles of being popular and...

440, you should know by now...you have to either have a 280AI, 7-08 or a Tikka to be popular in the gun section :) ...just joking guys!

I'm not trying to be circular but it is a weak logic to suggest we need any kind of additional gun control laws. Giving the anti's the black gun ban would be the same as admitting we need more laws (which we don't) It's against the law to kill someone or threaten to kill someone. That's...

3x2, Why do you believe the assault /black weapons will eventually be banned? I believe the statisyics show cheaper saturday night specials commit most crimes. I am not understanding the logic. FYI, i don't have any of these type weapons, at least not yet. I don't want the right to have one...

I would like any of you liberals to answer these two simple questions about gun control: 1. which new laws regarding gun control will criminals obey? 2. Why should I have my constitutional right infringed upon because someone else does not obey the laws we currently have?

LAST EDITED ON Nov-07-12 AT 07:05AM (MST)[p]It's a dissapointment to me, but not a surprise. One thing for sure is that the election sure wasn't about the economy. Rather it was all about sex, drugs, rock n roll and entitlements. Over half the country could care less about the economy. Also...

Intersting. I have mixed feelings about this long range stuff, at lease wrt hunting. This year, opening morning at 7:15AM, I heard 7 shots with about 4-6 seconds in between each shot. I thought wow, that's some poor shooting. I later learned that it was someone shooting into a heard of cows...

Thanks Martinc and Buzz for answering my "off the wall" question. By no means am I discounting the 7-08, I just like to hear people's thought process on why they chose it over the 270, 280 or 308.

I would like to hear from the OP and others why they selected this chambering? I have two 7-08s and they shoot nice, but it seems like whenever I am going "hunting" I reach past them and grab the 270... Just curious Arroyo
