    Hammer Bullet Weight

    I shoot the 124 in .270. Zero complaints. Load to pressure, back off a grain and go shoot.

    Rifle actions

    Any decent gunsmith will blueprint a 700 first, and fix all these issues before building on them. And you then will have a fine rifle. At today’s prices, you’ve got $4-500 in gunsmith work just to get to a decent 700 action platform to build on. Unless you’ve already got a donor action laying...

    Rifle actions

    In addition to the poorly cut threads, cheesy recoil lug, lack of overall concentricity, and lousy extractor design already discussed… Let’s not forget about the terrible R700 trigger design, the awful placement of the bolt release, poor bolt lug contact, lack of primary extraction and...

    How Much Is To Much Scope???

    Where extra mag really is helpful is at the range when proofing an absolutely precise 100 yard zero. This is a critical step for those who want to accurately dial out to longer ranges. Then you can back off to normal mag levels with wider FOV to shoot at game in the field (and still use your...

    How Much Is To Much Scope???

    Correct, you must shoot FFP. The technical reason is because FOV matters.

    How Much Is To Much Scope???

    Depends greatly on FFP vs SFP. Unless you like doing math under stressful situations, too much mag in an SFP scope is a serious negative. Field of view matters. And if you want to use the reticle for windholds you will be at max mag, which shrinks FOV. Bad news above say 12-16x. There’s...

    Scorer Question

    Official measurer here too. No, a tip is not necessary, nor expected. I’ve had people offer to tip me, or pay for my gas/time, and I tell them it will go straight to the Club as a donation, along with their membership application. What we do is entirely on a volunteer basis. It’s not a rule...

    Rifle actions

    Nothing against Ruger, I’ve owned several, but in order of preference I’d still take a BACO M70 over any Ruger. That said, a NH built Classic or true Pre-64 trounces all of em.

    Rifle actions

    Not personally. I’m sure they are fine but I lost interest once New Haven was shuttered for BACO. I much prefer the open trigger.

    Timberline Out fitters

    Best of the best. Hired them when I drew my bull tag. Glad I did. Zero complaints.

    13pt wilderness unit

    How bad was winterkill in that region 61 area? I know it was real bad south of there, but was the northwest corner hit as hard? Is this a legitimate concern for deciding whether or not to cash in this year or wait?

    Ok, a legit chance at 350 makes a lot more sense. I thought 300-320 was more the class of bulls.

    13pt wilderness unit

    Shoshone Lodge website says $13k. For a public land draw hunt? I’m not saying it’s not worth it, but help me understand that please. That seems more like private land (tag included) lodge type pricing.
