    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.

    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.

    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?

    13pt wilderness unit

    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.

    13pt wilderness unit

    Got 13.5 pts as a party of two. Willing to hire an outfitter and hunt wilderness. I have my thoughts on units, but curious as to what you guys think. And outfitter recommendations (or who to avoid) are certainly welcome. Thank you!

    How to find a rifles realistic value

    Gunbroker. But you need to know what you have. For example, a red pad, tang safety Ruger 77 in fine shape is probably worth more than an MKII, $900-1000+ vs $700-800. The 760 has a cult following. They are sought after by deep woods hunters. $800-1000+, depending on grade.

    Your last sentence is critical and no matter the equipment, I wish more would do the same and stick to it in the field.

    Nightforce

    Not saying you’re doing it wrong, but I used to say the exact same thing. All I used or wanted were duplex reticles. Then I gave a good reticle with some subtensions a fair chance and I’d never go back now. It’s an amazing and useful tool. Keep an open mind and don’t be afraid to learn...

    IMO, the reason to buy a NF is not the glass. The glass is just fine, but there are certainly other choices with arguably better glass. The reason to buy a NF is your second point. There’s nothing tougher or more reliable. You can buy a Swarovski scope with beautiful glass, the higher end...

    IMO, that’s way too much scope for hunting. 8 is too much on the low end and 32 is way too much on the high end. It’s also F2. Be sure you understand what that means. Your subtensions are only accurate at 32x. So if you ever need to use a wind hold, which is really common, you functionally...

    Not a pro either but own several and they are my scope brand of choice. What’s your question? To me, it’s comes down to this… Assuming you are a hunter: SHV’s work just fine if you are on a budget. FAR better than most scopes out there and anything from Swaro/Leupold/Vortex. The glass is...
