I went into my LGS and they had plenty. Including reloading.
Found my .280 Remington loads. Granted they were just HSM with Hornady brass and SST 162gr bullets. But still to see .280 ammunition was not expected. Lots and lots of 6.5 needmore and no .260 Remington.
They even had some...
I’ve got a couple places by Idaho City I’ve been looking at, …. Cousin showed them to me. He said he doesn’t go there any more because it’s public land and over run with people.
Snake river country or more hells canyon?
Either way, for some of us, that’s a dream hunt.
And I ask only out of curiosity, but what are the elevations…
You either love them or, like most, hate them.
I’d have suggested an old model 10/110 or the stevens 200.
I’ve had extremely good results with any savage I’ve owned. Especially getting rid of any lawyer settings in the trigger.
The plan is to find a piece of curly maple and carve a stock for it.
The extension is an attempt to custom fit the rifle to me and allow me to make adjustments prior to cutting the final piece of wood. The length of Pull is about 14.75”.
I’m also making a jig to jewel the bolt body as well...
At 5 1/2 lbs, it’s a bit brutal with a full power 180 gr load.
If I don’t like the 06, what am I going to think when I build the 400 Whelen or the 338 Norma mag.
