I saw my nephew this evening and he told me that the rifle cycled 8 rounds without a problem. Looks like the fix worked. He is super excited, likes it a little more than his 30-06. Said he was going to get a Boyd's stock and a new scope. Thanks again!!!
Alot of good info here. Other things to think about is rifle fit, weight, functionality. Are you making long shots or hunting brush? Do you want a flat shooting rifle? Do you prefer a long action, short action, bolt or lever action? Me personally I have bolt actions in a short and a long action...
Thanks for that, I have since this post, I let my nephew have that rifle. He has been trying to get it figured out. I will let you know if that did the trick. Thanks!
2018 Pain in the grass at White River Amphitheater Auburn Washington. Bush, Stone Temple Pilot's, the Cult, Alice 'N Chains and more. My youngest son and I got back stage and meet the band Bush. It was awesome! Never forget it
Brings back memories of our old farm. I had a sow (Porkchop) that we got 42 lbs of bacon off of. Raising and slaughtering pigs is how I got my kids ready to hunt. We did it all, butchering, curing, smoking, making sausage. It was a good way to prepare my boys for when they would have to dress a...

308 is not a bad round, shoot what you are comfortable with. Bigger is not always better. If you have a rifle you trust to do the job, then that is all you need. I have seen Moose taken with a .270win, a 308 is just as dependable of a round. What matters more is a well placed shot. In my opinion...
First time anything hunting you are going to learn some hard lessons. One of my favorite sayings is. " I don't mind making mistakes as long as there is something to learn from it". Pick yourself up brother, and dust yourself off. Look for the lesson to be learned here and try again. That is what...
What is so wrong with a little plain Vanilla? I own a .280 rem and don't mind that it is not a popular round. What will an 0-6 do that a .280 can't? Not far behind a 7 mag and an ai, the .280 Rem is a good cartridge, just bad marketing and idea to market it in a semi auto.
