    First Western Big Game Hunt where I am applying for tag/tags. Pronghorn and possibly mule deer.

    Such an awesome and inspirational story. Thank you for sharing this with me. Congratulations on your two pronghorn after being in the ER (I just got out of the ER a couple days ago myself). I can’t stand having these excuses, I know that most are lame and on me for lack of planning accordingly...

    First Western Big Game Hunt where I am applying for tag/tags. Pronghorn and possibly mule deer.

    Yes I definitely suffer from over analysis paralysis. I have read lots of articles and watched tons of videos especially Randy’s. That’s a good idea I will have to check it out. Within a year if I save $25 a week after 52 weeks that’s $1300 for a tag 🏷 buying budget. I will have to figure out...

    First Western Big Game Hunt where I am applying for tag/tags. Pronghorn and possibly mule deer.

    Sorry if my indecisive 🤷‍♂️ rambling made your head hurt. Everyone has to start somewhere. Even though I went to Idaho in 19, I was just a tag a long for the experience. I have never planned a hunt that far away from home. But I bet once I go through the whole process once and actually go, I...

    First Western Big Game Hunt where I am applying for tag/tags. Pronghorn and possibly mule deer.

    I actually am game for that. There are hunt opportunities in the east that one can do on the off western hunting year. Whether another whitetail hunting state, fall bear 🐻, wild boar 🐗 etc…

    First Western Big Game Hunt where I am applying for tag/tags. Pronghorn and possibly mule deer.

    Such a great point. I myself would love to have a ten day window in the fall not including the two days driving on each end to hunt every fall. But I believe that it’s more realistic, for the many reasons that you mentioned to go every other year. I have 1-3 points for elk. Deer 🦌 and pronghorn...

    Muzzle Brake Removal on Savage 110 (timberline)

    I know that I am rather indecisive and ask questions to cover all my options before making a decision. I am going to try and keep it. I want to get it fixed first. But if down the line I can get a suppressor I will just cut it shorter 22 in down from 24 before the brake, 26 including the brake...

    Muzzle Brake Removal on Savage 110 (timberline)

    I am hoping that the penetrating oil will work and I won’t have to do that. I have thought about cutting an inch or two off and have it threaded and capped. I will have to check with my local gunsmiths on costs if it comes to that.

    Thank you 🙏🏻 everyone who replied on this thread and offered me some good advice and information, called me out in my confusion and trepidation about such a long trip especially if done solo, and the excuses that came with that. Makes me realize even more how a western hunt or any hunt that is...

    They must have forgotten to tell the employee who built your rifle that. 😳

    Muzzle Brake Removal on Savage 110 (timberline)

    Thanks for letting me know that. I hope that I can find someone who would do that for a similar price. I bought some Kroil penetrating oil and a two pack of strap wrenches online. Hopefully 🙏 that will work first.

    Best cost effective solution to the current issue with my Savage M110 Long Range Hunter in .300 WSM

    @BAKPAKR @std7mag I just ordered the tin can of Kroil ($21 on Amazon) and a two pack of strap wrenches today. Should be at my Dad’s no later than Friday. Hopefully 🙏 this will work. It should. If it doesn’t I will sent it back to Savage. If I had the money 💵 I would just get it cut to 22 inches...

    Muzzle Brake Removal on Savage 110 (timberline)

    You’re welcome and thank you 🙏 I hope so too. I thought about calling Savage and sending it in for repair. I am not sure what that will cost and I have never shipped a firearm

    Muzzle Brake Removal on Savage 110 (timberline)

    I feel for you dude. As mentioned I am in a similar boat, but with a different more permanent feeling brake. My Dad and I tried to turn it yesterday and no luck. I need to order some Kroil and send it to my Dad’s house and have it soak for a day. If I had the $$ and knew 100% that I am going to...

    This is my current little stash of factory ammo and bullets for reloading. All three shoot well at 100 yards, so does the Hornady Outfitters 180 grain GMX that I am out of.

    Best cost effective solution to the current issue with my Savage M110 Long Range Hunter in .300 WSM

    My Dad sprayed it Down with WD40 a couple days ago and we tried to turn it with a rag and channel locks and nothing happened. I need to find some Kroil somewhere. I reload and have a “decent” amount of ammo and about 100 bullets that I can load. But yes 308 is much cheaper and actually...

    I saw that they did that a 4 years ago when they came out with their new updated lineup. Most firearms people know which cartridge is a long or short action.

    I remember the number system, thanks for the reminder. Not sure why they would put a 223 in a long action platform. Makes their number system confusing and inconsistent. Yes there’s definitely some pawn shops around and we use to gun shows regularly before a certain thing took over the world 🌎...

    Well all I have ever known is Savage and Winchester (My Dad owns two Winchester and my youngest brother has one) so I am familiar. However I have always wanted to try another manufacturer and broaden my knowledge and experience. Tikka as I have mentioned above is definitely close to the top of...

    Best cost effective solution to the current issue with my Savage M110 Long Range Hunter in .300 WSM

    This one is a long action so no rebarrel to 300 WSM or even 308, but the classic 30-06 is tough to beat in many peoples eyes. Could make it a 280 AI or something in that lines. Definitely a cartridge that I am interested in.

    @std7mag @OntarioHunter @VikingsGuy is something like this very used LH Savage M110 in .243 what you are talking about? Finding something like this. Since it’s a short action via being a 243, I could rebarrel it in a 300 WSM with a threaded 22 in barrel and probably find a good clean rigid and...
