I have a great shooting 700 that suddenly went south on me a few years back.
I was stumped but others suspected copper fouling. I cleaned it as directed on the container of Montana X treme and just like magic the 700 in 270:was back to its old accurate self. Meanwhile I got to really liking...
I think you will really like your new scope. I am more than impressed with mine.
I think the VX2 2-7 s are a great scope as well. Never owned one but I have a cousin that put on his 444 marlin. When I looked thru it I was very impressed. Anyone wanting a scope like this and cant find a VX3 the...
I am only guessing but I wouldn't doubt at all if they go direct. They can offer what they want online without having to convince retail buyers on what to stock. Also they may make better margins while still being able to keep prices down. Going direct has its costs and challenges as well. I...
He probably ran out of gas on the way back to town to buy those batteries he should have put in new before the season. I have a buddy like that. Always need batteries in the middle of a hunt. I dont have any hunting rifles with iluminated reticles or dots. I do have other firearms with...
Probably the best upgrade I made to my 700 was my edge classic. I’m gonna spend money on something. Might as well be my deer rifle. I didn't get into hunting for the economic efficiency of it. Its a hobby for me. I bought my 700 XCR2 in 270 , a Timney trigger and the Edge stock 7 years ago. I...
I have Meindls very similar to the Vakkums. Bought from Cabalas quite awhile ago.
When I need another pair I will buy the Vakkums as mine are no longer sold by Cabelas as far as I know. I like mine. No issues. But I cant say I am rough on boots other than being too heavy (fat). They are...
We have traditions but I cant say they are weird. Mostly we feast and party on zero in day before the hunting week and on butchering day the Saturday after.
The stocks are the one thing I don't like about my two. I’m more of a straight stock kind of guy. I bought mine because a few older guys at the hunting lease
I was just getting into said they were the cream of the crop. I had been shooting my ruger tanger 3006 for twenty years and had very...
I have a Deluxe in 300 wby myself. Nice rifle I bought in 2009, although I don't shoot it. Its too much if a good thing for hunting whitetail out of a climber in Alabama.
I wipe down the outside after every hunt or as needed. I only clean the barrel and action after the season or after hunting in the rain. Has been pretty much my way for 40 years. The right answer is really when it needs it or when not maintaining the rifle could lead to issues. I did have to...
Could be. In 2009 I ordered a accumark in 270 wby. When I went in to pick it up He had a NIB Mark V Deluxe in 300 wby there some guy ordered then decided on something else so it was consigned for sale at $1400. So I came home with both.
Still have them. Barely used. At the time I had the idea I...
Mine would be my first bolt action. A Ruger M77 tanger in 30-06. The old wood stock shows nicks and dents from 20 years of hard use. I bought it from my brother when it was LNIB in the mid 80s for $100. He got it in a car deal as boot and needed the money to take some chick out.
I stopped using...
I hunt with several rifles including a 270 but the only 3 of my hunting buddies that have been hunting for more than 35 years with the same chambering shoot 270s.
All deer hunters mostly and very practical thinking type fellas all.
