Making a new thread because the last one was dirtied up and I’ve changed pricing and making this a single bundle of everything you need. This 30-06 has under 400 rounds down the tube, probably closer to 300, and the barrel has never been let to get hot. No more tha 2 shots ever in quick...

Forgot to include Trades I would consider: •300WSM with wood stock. Tikka, Browning, Winchester mainly but would consider others •High grade English or turkish walnut rifle stock blank for full or partial trade depending on grade and my personal like for it. Prefer lighter colored woods...

Alright not getting any bites, emotionally I’ve already sold this gun, and I need the money for a new scope for another rifle. Let’s try this, $875 takes the gun, and a set of EITHER neck OR full length size dies, a cheap Plano plastic case. 875 is barely more than the bare action on these...

In my experience most chamberings lose very little velocity from shorter barrels, typically 15-25 fps per inch cut from the 17 to 24 inch range. Magnums (by that I mean overbore, NOT just large case capacity. 458 win mag is the opposite of overbore) lose a lot more, in the range of 30-50 fps per...

A number of years ago I did. Typical me for forgetting to write it down anywhere or take any pictures so I’m not help on any precise number but it was close to a pound. Maybe .5 or .8 pound difference between the walnut and laminate model 70 stocks I had. You could pick up both blindfolded and...

What’s the maximum length for a rifle to fit into item 3? And would it fit a rifle with the scope mounted or would it have to be detached?

I love my all coppers and use them whenever I can. But if a ph told me they would prefer if I used ___ bullet, I’m gonna use that bullet. Even if I don’t like that bullet.

A lot of that has to do with how they’re constructed and what they were designed for, but I agree for the most part. For example, the above bullets were shot subsonic. But they were also designed to be shot subsonic. Copper bullets have a ton of potential, and I use them exclusively on...

Agreed. There’s only animal I’ve ever had a photo like that with, pretty much all of my other game that gets a picture taken of, looks like this Just a simple picture of the downed animal with my rifle laid across them as a subtle way to know that they were taken by me. Smiling and especially...

I had a custom defiance machine action 30-378, before that I had a mark V accumark. Currently my only weatherby cartridge rifle is a vanguard in 257 for my out of state deer gun, (starting this coming deer season it’ll now be my primary deer gun since I no longer live in a straight wall state...

I agree, but those light rifles (more modern ones are closer to 9 pounds but still sub 9) are the reason everyone hates weatherby cartridges. It’s unfortunate because the cartridges themselves are actually really great. Say what you want about the double radius shoulder but for such large fat...

Most successful sign a hunting friend of mine had put up was a “I’m vegan, you should be too” or something like that sign. No hunter wants to talk to a vegan about permission to kill animals on their property. Number of requests went from dozens a year to 0
