I have been thinking about doing the same thing, I have watched the Hunting Public and how they are switching over from mechs (twizzlers lol) to heavier cut on contacts, fixed blades and have been binge watching the RF channel. I have never harvested any animal with my bow: a PSE Fire Flite 33...
As an example there is a Browning X-Bolt Long Range Stalker in 6.5 CM for $589 down from $850 and it says Free to Ship to Store, doesn't say out of stock yet. But that is what it said when I tried to order that Rem 700 ADL combo in .243 for $169, until I put in all my info and hit place order...
Same here, Even if I didn't want to have a .243 (my Dad has one) the Rem 700 alone would have been easily worth the $168 if I wanted to rebarrel. I do like .243, just thinking 7mm-08 or something with a tad more umph, but wasn't magnum then get a light stock and better trigger. A nice project to...
Yeah there was 54 different rifles on Clearance on the Cabela’s/Bass Pro site that I noticed on Monday night and when I went to order a Rem 700 ADL rifle combo for $169 on Tuesday after work all the calibers were gone. There was a bunch of Rem 700 models, some Savages, couple Tikka, Winchester...
I have heard of both of those companies and I was looking for those but with world events many AR and handgun items are out of stock. I have watched some reviews on Aero Precision and how they are the best value on the market. I really wanted a one piece design so that I didn’t have to worry...
Sounds like a pretty sweet setup indeed. Most of the complete uppers that I have found (223 Wylde Or 5.56 in 18-20 inch) that I can possibly afford are out of stock and are heavy profile barrels. Shooting with a suppressor sounds awesome but I am far away from that stage right now. Hopefully...
Thank you very much for those points, they make quite a bit of sense. I will keep the rail on it, the scope on it now shoots certain loads accurately after we remembered that it was there when making our initial adjustments.
That is great, I am glad that it has kept up enough popularity with...
My rifle is 8.4 lbs, yes I shouldn't be looking to add more weight if I can save some with a great all around scope size like the 4.5-14x40. Even though I have shot my Dad's Winchester M70 in .300 WM and some other friends or family rifles, I have only really hunted with a late 90s Savage M110...
I am going to, that combined with the 30mm tube will give me the ability to squeeze a little bit more adjustment out of my system. Thank you for that confirmation and reasoning.
That does make more sense, a 50 is good a on target rifle especially with all that mirage, and you are not worried about weight, etc... My rifle is the new Savage Model 110 Long Range Hunter in 300 WSM (that I got for $565 down from $900) and they come with the Accufit stock with different...
Thanks Mark and Schism for the advice as well. I would be carrying up hills to hilltop fields and openings that we have here in West Virginia. So the lightweight/pencil barrels or medium contours would definitely work best to save weight. Plus it’s not as if I will be putting hundreds of rounds...
Thank you I will have to check them out and see what they have to offer. I know that my youngest brother was looking at Faxon fluted barrels for his 6.5 Grendel build. It would be nice to compare, etc...
Hahaha totally understandable especially with a smaller caliber. The 18 is a good "compromise" and what my brother's old AR had. Now to be able to find the right one for me with many places being out of stock.
Thanks everyone for your experienced advice. I too would prefer the better reticle over bigger objective, I have never tried a 50 so I wasn't sure of the optical difference in an 10mm larger objective. My brother likes the windage marks too even though it is a CDS "Click Dial Shoot" but it...
Thank you for the advice. Your thoughts are right up my alley, as I stated above am leaning strongly to the 18-20 medium to heavy contour type barreled uppers. I could piece it all together myself bit by bit as I have the $$$ I could get a bench block and some armorers tools on a deal somewhere...
I finally have narrowed my scope choice for my Savage Model 110 Long Range Hunter in .300 WSM that I bought last September to two Leupold VX-3i scopes. One being a 4.5-14x50 CDS-ZL2 (30 mm) Side Focus with Duplex reticle and the other the 4.5-14x40 CDS-ZL2 (30mm) Side Focus with Windplex...
I am going to build my first MSR, which I should have started 8 years ago or so, but political fear reasons (a bear den sized hole I don't want to go down) and the fact that my Marine brother left his old school Bushmaster AR-15 at home since he didn't need it in the service and said that I or...
As I am sure that I mentioned above the Colorado ZR2 has been my dream truck since they have come out. Yes they’re not as flashy, roomy, or capable in most cases as a Raptor (although the Raptor bed is short it’s wider than all other 5ft beds) but it’s not as expensive or as bulky on tight...
I am a subscriber and have the bell notification clicked on for every update, it appears in my notifications when I am on YouTube and sends an email. I am not sure why it is not for you, unless you don't have the notification bell clicked on. Or perhaps it doesn't show up until 10PM EST/8PM MT...
Whenever I finally get to go chase some Speed Goats I will be using my longtime whitetail outfit that my Dad bought me 20 years ago. That being a Savage Model 110 in .270 Win topped
with a 3-12x42 Nikon Monarch 3 BDC, shooting 130 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips in front of IMR 4350. If I was to...
