I just looked through their offerings. It looks like you can pick up a nice piece of lumber pretty cheap.

You and me both brother. I keep coming back to punish myself though.

The 7mm mag caliber will work fine. But, the rifle might not be the best choice. 7mm mags generally have long barrels, and long barrels are a pain in the butt when trying to sneak through some thick brush. 7mm-08, 308, or 6.5 would be great for the short receiver and shorter barrels. I have iron...

Sounds like a dove shoot with centerfire rifles. No thanks.

excellent buck. congratulations

well done

I assumed I knew generally what a gun built with these items would look like. Not for me.

I don't even know what that stuff is.

Return of The Jedi. I'm glad you made it.

It looks great. Enjoy your hunt.

That is a perfect looking rifle. The stock looks slimmer than my American stocks. What modifications did you make? What does the rifle weigh?

Recommendations depend on many factors. Will you be packing your elk out? Do you just need a day pack to carry extra clothing, water, etc? Will you be hunting in the mountains? You have to have the right gear to deal with varied weather, but I argue a Hunter should never make compromises when...

I like the Hogue as well. It is just a sturdy, and good-looking stock, and I really needed that slip-resistant rubber hunting the North Georgia mountains in freezing rain. I love the setup and am thinking about having one built with the same features and dimensions, but in 9.3x67.

Details? Great buck.

This is a sad reality to me for several reasons. Now, first I will say that I hunt with rifles that are walnut with blued steel. I also hunt with synthetic and stainless, especially in the North Georgia mountains. I also have no problem with people doing their own thing. This apparent...

I think some bit of the criticism is valid. His camara was on the animal. I assume he was using a GoPro and it was mounted on his head or chest. If so, then he was looking in the direction of the buck. Plus, he was talking about something interesting in front of him, so I think he was square to...

I don’t know the laws there, but it is called buckshot for a reason and people do still hunt deer with it when they are in some thick stuff and expect to jump bedding deer and have close shots at them moving quickly.

These are new factory sights and have never been installed. They came with a 550 American in 9.3x62 that I no longer have. I think the rear sight is made by Williams, at least the sight looks like a Williams. The rear sight assembly is complete with both mounting screws. The front sight...

Rings are SPF.

I agree. I think it is one of the best options for a quality scope on a budget. It is really light and can handle the recoil of a large caliber rifle.

The scope is sold.

Leupold VX-1 3-9x40. It is matte with a duplex reticle. The rings are Alaska Arms QD, 1 inch, medium height, and for Ruger M77 and Hawkeye rifles. Both fall under the category of “ain’t nothing wrong with them.” The rings held the scope to my Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan through three seasons in the...

This one was one of the early ones. It does not have a muzzle brake or a barrel band swivel stud. It is very accurate. Only 51 down the pipe, but it has been hunted. I have packed it through wilderness areas in both Idaho and Georgia, so it is not perfect. Nothing serious, just a couple of small...

Thanks, that is some good information, and welcome to AH.

That I believe If that is the price it is because it is the market rate. If you can not find one cheaper it is because that is the market rate.

If you see one let me know. Not too many floating around.

$2,500 for a Ruger Alaskan in 416 Ruger?

An old post, but I shoot the 300 grain TSX in my 416 Ruger. The advantage, other than less recoil, is a flatter trajectory. Zeroed at 225 yards I am only 6 inches under at 300 yards. I got to use the 300 tsx on a small bear and a big whitetail this year and neither liked it very much. The bear...

I am selling a CZ-550 in .308 caliber. This is a .308 in the standard size action and came from the factory in a sporter stock. That stock went to my 9.3x62 stalking rifle project. The Lux stock the .308 is now wearing came from the 9.3x62. The barrelled action is very nearly perfect. It has...

I do not know the manufacturer, but this rail is well made and functions properly. It is used and has varied minor scratches. I assume it would also work with a CZ- 557 as well. If anyone needs it I will ship it to you in the lower 48 for $35.00.

I have an 11° crowning tool produced by Pacific Tool. It is new and never used. This tool is for 30-49 caliber. It comes with the 30 caliber pilot. Additional pilots can be purchased at a reasonable price from PTG. The tool plus shipping was $80. I will ship it to the lower 48 for $50. I prefer...

I have a Forster sight mounting fixture. It is in perfect shape and comes with all the factory accouterments. The fixture came with the 6-48 set of bushings, which include a 27, 31, and 7-64. I am also including the 8-40 bushing set, which is the 18, 28, and 30. These things ain't cheap, but...

Great story and just in time for Christmas. That is also a great buck, certainly for his first. I really love that he had to work for it - closing the distance with a belly crawl through briars builds character.

I hate being broke. That is a deal everyday.
