    338-06 bullet for deer??

    I'm looking reboring at 30-06 to 338-06. I'm in the process of bullet research for deer hunting. One of the goals is to use a new bullet so that takes off the partition, accubond, balistic tip, eldx, and hot cor off the table. I'm thinking something in the 200-225gr range. What are thoughts...

    Henry 45-70

    Thanks. Sounds like a good bullet for what I want to do. I'll be hunting from tree stands where shots will be close. I have enough rifles that all shoot jacketed bullets. I want to try something new with the 45-70.

    Henry 45-70

    If you are behind the shoulder, what can a guy expect? A blood trail like a broadhead? 30-100 yard track job?

    Henry 45-70

    I'm very close to getting a call from the local sports shop that a Henry case hardened 45-70 is in. I've wanted one for years and I'm really close to making the investment. My goal is to deer hunt here in WI with it and maybe use it for bears when I draw a tag. I will load my own ammo and...

    Sticky browning stock

    Contact Browning and they will send a new one. It is caused when the oils or other chemicals (bug spray from turkey hunting) react to the stock. I took the old one and used paint stripper to clean it up and then repainted it.

    Light primer strikes from Tikka rifle?

    I shot my dads 25-06 Tikka yesterday and had a few misfires that I had to shoot again to fire. After looking at the fired rounds most just have a small dent in the primer. This lot of primers has never had a issue in other rounds/guns. I'm guessing I need to break the bolt down and clean it...

    Pac-Nor Barrels and Services?

    I had a tang safety 30-06 rebarreled to 6.5-06. The first barrel shot very well but I was getting high pressure really fast. I sent it back and they put a new barrel on it. Barrel #2 had the same issue so I sent it back in and they put a new barrel on it and sent it back to me. Again, I was...

    Gear list of mountain lion hunt??

    Well, I made it back from CO. It was a grind of a trip and hunt. The travel out was good but the way home was a race to beat snow the entire way. I did get a nice female lion on the morning of day 5. It was a very tough hunt due to the weather. It would either snow all night or rain during...

    Gear list of mountain lion hunt??

    I'm 6 days out from the hunt. The forecast is saying lows of 15 highs of 35 for the hunt and 1-3" snow daily. Hopefully the cats move in the light snow and we are able to find fresh tracks. The excitement is getting out of control on my end.

    Gear list of mountain lion hunt??

    I will be using my great grandfathers Winchester 94 30-30. I shot it again the other day and at 25-50 yards, I feel good. I've been working out daily still and have most of my gear packed. Thanks for the info guys. 12 days until I head out.

    Gear list of mountain lion hunt??

    I'm going on a mountain lion hunt at the end of the month. I have the layers of cloths under control, boots, gators, pack and rifle. Are there any items on a hunt like this that I guy forgets about? I have trekking poles and snowshoes as well. I'm going with an outfitter and plan to ask him...

    Savage 22 Creed build?

    CForest, I'm kinda feeling the same. Pros-I have the tools and it will probably be a shooter Cons-is the Savage 110 the best action for a 22Creed build?

    Savage 22 Creed build?

    My buddy has a Savage 30-06 that he is wiling to sell very cheap to me. I'm wondering if it is worth getting a prefit Criterion 22 Creed barrel and swapping it out? Would the Savage long action work with the 22CM? I'm not a huge Savage fan but for the price I can't pass this deal up. My goal...
