Isn’t that what we are supposed to do. Steal from the rich and give to the poor. Lol! Looks to me like a Burris, crossfire, or diamondback, I have never been a vortex fan. Would they be good enough?

A bit to pricey. Trying to be at around $200. I don’t know if these people will even stick with it. Trying to give them something to do to get them outside, and give them something to look forward to to keep them out of trouble.

I am setting up a couple rifles for some people I am trying to get started hunting. Looking for a good scope at a reasonable price. I was thinking a used Leupold VX2. But would like to try to stick with new if I can. What do you guys think would be a good scope to look at?

I was cleaning under my shooting bench and found some ammo that over the years had roles off and gotten underneath. Most of it probably could be cleaned up and fired, it would just be a waste of time as I have no idea what is in them. Is there a way to destroy unwanted ammo? Thanks.

Does anyone have a VX6 2-12 with a fire dot for sale? If so how much?

Yes I have a couple McMilans and some MPIs and I love them. But I have never kept a factory synthetic stock. I can’t even bring myself to sell them. They go in the trash. Remington ADLs are horrible. I look at it as a barreled action.

I’ve never been a fan of factory synthetic stocks. How is the one that Sauer uses?

A 100.

What does the FS mean?

Anyone know where I can find a wood Sauer in 9.3x62 for a good price? I don’t Neeed one so want a fair price. A used one would even be better. Thanks

Those of you with experience with Sauer rifles, what have you found to be the good, the bad, and the ugly about them? The gun stores in my area don’t carry Sauer so if I would like to go that route what would be the best way to get hooked up with one? Any insight would be appreciated.

Some friends had left their stuff in my pickup as we were going coyote hunting very early in the morning. I took the rifles in overnight, I had a narrow garage at the time. Loading up in the dark in the morning I laid the rifles over the tailgate in cases so I could back out and open my door all...

I found a barrel so back to my build. I was going to use a old Rem. 700 as a donor action. But after looking at my rifles I am having a hard time chopping one up. What would be the best 700 copy cat action for the money to build my 9.3 on?

Shooting a deer with that 100 grainer is like shooting a fox with a 17 rem. It has to have spectacular results. I am going to have to try that. Thanks.

Do you get similar velocity from the cutting edge bullets. A 100 gr out of a 300 Win. Would be screaming. A 130 would probably be in the neighborhood of 34-3500?

Maybe on a windy day.[emoji23]

Those of you with experience with cutting edge bullets how did you find accuracy? Thanks.

Does anyone think there is any real difference between cut and button rifling? I have always thought cut put less stress on the steal. But is it in my head that it really makes any difference?

It has been years since I’ve shot a Ruger. How are the triggers on a Ruger African? Thanks

Starting a 35 Whelen and a 9.3x62 build. Smith that I work with said he thought he could fit me one of them in by mid November. He let me know today that it doesn’t look like barrels will be here in time. So I’m looking to see what is out there, maybe I can buy one, never hurt anyone to have to...

I’m probably getting to be a pain in the rear with all my questions the last couple days, but I’m kind of in new territory on the 35 Whelen and 9.3x62. Most of my guns are a bit speedier. Ex. 17rem, 243, 270, 300Win, 375RUM, and Rigby that I have loaded to Weatherby velocity. Yeah, before you...

Yep!!! But at times I think good riddance.

I’ll agree that a 12 gauge is over kill. The only real reason to use one is you have one. A 20 gauge hole will definitely do the job. But I also have never seen meat damage unless the deer is a pin cushion with a bunch of holes. A slug just goes on through meet and clean.

Has anyone tried the Cutting Edge bullets? They are just what I was looking for. What would the velocity be 27-2800?

I’ll quote a rancher I used to talk to “ferrr as the eye ken see” by the way he was talking about the size of his ranch when I asked were his boundaries were. Lol The plan is to be a professional backup gun. May be for coyotes, whitetail, could be for eland, or buff. In other words a “fun...

There is one at my local Scheels. I looked at it. Looks to have only fired a few shoots. The feed ramp is the only way I can tell it has been shot. And there is hardly a scratch on that If you are interested I can get you some info. Or give you more details. I can probably get you some photos.

I was working on building a 35 Whelen, for hunting here in here in the States. But after a bit of looking see the 9.3x62 is so similar. Then I would have a good backup DG rifle for the wife. I was wondering if anyone makes a bullet lighter than 250 for the 9.3 to use in the States for deer. I...

Has anyone done a trial on this? To actually test the decibels of a mag na port vs non ported.

I would definitely look at the 308. Cheap ammo on every shelf anywhere that sells ammo. I would shoot any animal up to moose or eland with the Barnes 130 gr TTSX. It has noticeable less recoil than 150s and shoots flat enough to aim at the vitals to as far as most of us should shoot. I like...

I’ll start by saying, I’m a hunter, I like accurate rifles but they don’t have to drive tacks. In the past I just let my smith pick the brand of barrel I use based on if he thinks it is a good barrel and availability. Of the better known brands is there really any difference in quality? If so...

That is a really really bad day!!

God sometimes teaches us a lesson. The first thing I thought of was it could have been the other way. (I didn’t know if it would chamber), now I will be more careful.

I’ve done lots of dumb things in this life, but today I did one right up at the top of the pile. I wanted to get a rifle in the truck because the crops are starting to come out and we will start seeing some coyotes and coons and such. So I grabbed a 30-06 out of the rack and thought I would...

I would add 308 a little easier to find cheap practice ammo.

Is it possible to over stabilize a bullet. I’m looking at building 3 different caliber rifles. For two of them I plan on using light for caliber bullets. Should I go to a slower twist to get the best results. Any input would be appreciated.

I will be using it in Iowa to hunt deer. Background is Iowa was a shotgun only state. But has changed the rules several times now. The newest rule is the rifle needs to be at least a 35 cal. And have at least 500 ft. Lbs. to be legal. I think the 35 Whelen would be the ideal to fit the bill.

I am going to show my ignorance. I am looking for a Remington 700 in 35 Whelen. I have never bought a gun on line. And would like to know what are some sites are that can be trusted. Any advice would be be appreciated.

It seems generally that the slower cartridges have larger openings then slower. I don’t know how they decide what that looks like when it is sold as a bullet. But it is a generalization.

I’m a Barnes lover. I assume the 140 TTSX wouldn’t work real well.

Always wanted one. Thought 308 would be better for ammo availability in Africa. I’ll ponder that though. Might be a good opportunity since I have to re-barrel anyway.

243 short action. And want to stick with 308.

I have to re-barrel a rem 700 243. I think I am going to change it to a 308. If I would like to shoot the 130 gr Barnes TTSX what twist would be best? Any input would be appreciated.

Does anyone have experience shooting 375 H&H ammo out of a 375 Weatherby? I was wandering how much velocity is lost. Any insight would be appreciated.

Try the 250 gr TTSX shoots flat and will have minimal meat damage.

I'm not quite out, but down to my last bag that I bought a couple of years ago. I started my search, but having difficulty locating any 375 RUM Brass. Does anyone know where I can find some? Thanks!

Have a good sized order for Midway and am having trouble finding a current code. Wondering if anyone has used one the last few days that has worked?

Thank you for the input. I think I will give a call to PTG on Monday. It looks like the most likely candidate. Also do any of these use a M-14 or AR-10 magazine?

I am starting to build a new rifle on a 700 Rem. short action and am looking to put a DBM on it. I am looking for advice as to which brand to buy, quality for price, and most important is smooth feeding as I had some problems in the past with a long action Seekings when building a RUM. Any...
