    6.5-300 RMEF Weatherby - Sell or Keep It?

    Good point about making sure a rifle fits her frame before I get it. I need to take my 110 High Country (same AccuStock as the Impulse based on what I’m reading), put the shortest insert in there (or none), and see how it fits her.

    6.5-300 RMEF Weatherby - Sell or Keep It?

    We wouldn’t be shooting this gun very much. I already have 2 hunting rifles I would use instead of this one. This one would basically just sit in the safe as a momento of becoming a RMEF Life Member.

    6.5-300 RMEF Weatherby - Sell or Keep It?

    Yes, she does need a rifle as everything I own to use on antelope has WAY too much of a kick for her as she’s very petite!! My son is a whole different story... You’re right about reloading rounds being much cheaper once you already have everything. I reload my .300WM for about $1/round and...

    Savage Impulse

    Been thinking about this gun myself, but my 110 High Country in .300 Win Mag is too heavy to keep solid in my tripod/saddle setup while hunting out west and it's about the same weight as this. I love this gun from a recoil perspective, but if I have a hard time holding it steady on an animal at...

    6.5-300 RMEF Weatherby - Sell or Keep It?

    Just became a RMEF Life Member and with it comes a 6.5-300 RMEF Weatherby rifle. I've read up on the round in the couple threads here on the cartridge and have found only Weatherby actually makes ammo in 3 different variants for it. Also, I reload for my .30-06 and .300 Win Mag w/o issue, but...

    This makes sense, thank you!! Now, I have to wait until next fall to try it out.... :(

    Sounds similar to my first deer who decided to go into a trench and die in a creek. Pulling that thing out was a royal PITA!!!

    It seemed to me there isn't enough room in a deer to get my hands in there like that to be able to cut the esophagus w/o splitting the sternum (maybe it's b/c I have huge hands??). Yes, I've cut through many sternums with my Cutco knife with a Double-D edge. This is the first time I've...

    Are you saying you ordered the EBS and received the DTS?

    Now I understand, thanks! You're still cutting across (rather than just towards the head) to cut the windpipe so you're able to pull it through, right?

    Savage 110 High Country

    I had thought about getting the ultralight... I just have a hard time getting rid of any guns or buying one replicating something I already have. This being said, I’m getting the RMEF Weatherby since I just did a RMEF Life Membership. Selling the 110 High Country may be the way to go at this...

    You’ve had an amazing year, congrats!!!!!

    Are you saying to cut through the neck, or are you doing this from inside the body cavity? I’m not quite following.

    I agree about the gut hook blade!!!

    Unfortunately, in the communist state of IL where I live, one has to take the whole deer field dressed out of the field, so no quartering it out via gutless method for me... :(

    I do have a Gerber bone saw, but use it for other things. I have used my Cutco knife with Double-D edge for this process for years without issue and it’s how I was taught by a fellow hunter (I’m an adult onset hunter). I could see your point if I was trying to cut through the pelvis with it...

    Savage 110 High Country

    I think this rifle with the way it’s constructed would be a lot better for felt recoil than the 114 Classic in .30-06 I’m comparing it to. Yes, I do have the same concerns though. I’m not sure how good the muzzle breaks are on the major carbon fiber barrel manufacturers.

    I used my new EBS this past weekend on a big doe my daughter shot during archery season (her first deer/big game animal and it was 40 yards away -- proud dad right here!!!!). I was about halfway through the sternum with the serrated blade and the blade separated from the handle while cutting...
