    260 rem versus 6.5 CM

    I own and shoot a 260 Rem chambered in a Remington 700, and it's my favorite medium game rifle. Having said that, as others have pointed out, the 6.5 will do anything the 260 will do and with a wider selection of factory loadings - although contrary to what others have claimed I personally have...

    Question on shoes

    Bass Pro buying out Cabela's was a tragedy. I used to live near KC and shopped at both quite a bit (BP in Independence MO, CB just over the line in KS), and it always seemed to me that Cabela's quality was much better than Bass Pro's. Unfortunately, any difference there might have been has since...

    Urgently Needed Federal #210 Large Rifle Primers

    Plenty of them on Gunbroker.... they're priced ridiculously high, but if he needs them, they'll probably be one of the cheapest parts of his hunt despite the price gouging. Good luck. J

    Which rifle do we crown as the best looking ever?

    I too had the same rifle, also a Christmas gift from my parents when I was young. Mine, however, disappeared years ago - the victim of a break-in, we never recovered it. I'm sure it was pawned off for quick cash by someone. Maybe one of these days I'll try and replace it, but so far I haven't...

    Ruger American Compact

    Here's a third vote for checking the scope base screws. Overlength screws will absolutely cause the problem you're describing. If the rifle came as a package with scope mounted, that would be the first thing I checked.

    Ok, my turn (thanks Wildcatter for the reloading manual and the rapid shipping!)… I have two full boxes (100 count each) of Hornady SST 30 caliber bullets (1 150grn and 1 180grn), and a partial (approx 40 bullets) box of Sierra 125grn Pro-Hunter bullets.

    Oh, I'd love to have that... I like to watch hunting videos while I'm running on the treadmill in the mornings. I've got some cast lead bullets (I think they're 44 caliber, but I'll have to double check) that I'll put on here tomorrow as my "pass it forward". Thanks!

    For Sale Winchester Alaskan 375HH

    @Vagrouser, congratulations on the purchase! For what it's worth, I agree with your assessment on the overall proportions on the Alaskan vs. the Safari Express. In my opinion the only things the Alaskan needed to make it perfect were a barrel band sling stud instead of the forend stud, and a...

    For Sale NIB Winchester 458WM Safari Express CF

    I'm certainly no expert, but they may be out of stock due to reduced manufacturing rather than increased demand. If they've reduced manufacturing to a couple runs a year, it could conceivably be fairly easy for inventory to stay low / sold out.

    For Sale NIB Winchester 458WM Safari Express CF

    Thank you. I understand the Portugal Model 70's are from 2018 forward, so I knew it was fairly recent manufacture and NIB (just wasn't sure which of those years it was actually manufactured), I just wasn't sure if the weight was the same each year or if they had changed it (or not) between 2018...
