    Trying to decide between these 3 rifles...

    I thought that too, but depending on model, you can get the Bergara already threaded, larger bolt knob, fluted, etc by the time you buy the base t3x your in Bergara territory. I really like the T3x Lite Veil, in 308, 300 wsm, 7 mag etc, It really clicks all the boxes, but at a price point of...

    Trying to decide between these 3 rifles...

    Trying to decide between these 3 rifles...

    Searching around on google the CVA gets pretty decent reviews. It should be even with the Vanguard but as mentioned, the Vanguard is made by Howa. On the CVA, I have found out that even though made by Bergara, it is NOT on a 700 footprint, the magazines are proprietary, they will take I think a...

    New SG bino harness is on the way ...

    Well, I for one am interested, but not for the reasons you guys are. I live and hunt in Tennessee, 57 yrs. old and still hunt from a tree stand (Summit Viper) I hate, and when I say hate, I hate having to put a backpack in my stand when Im walking. I hate, with the same hate, a fanny pack type...

    300wsm vs 7prc vs 7rem mag?

    Oh I see your point, Im just thinking in my little brain how everyone keeps comparing the 7RM and 7PRC and how similar they are yet their is a big gap in the bullet weights they each run, and I know it depends on twist rate etc. I guess Im just trying to convince myself to go from my 7RM to 7PRC...

    300wsm vs 7prc vs 7rem mag?

    Is it me or does the 7RM seem a little more versatile? Being it can run the 139 gr and up to 175-180? vs the 7 PRC only have 2-3.....speaking of factory loadings, not handloading.....and will they ever be able to run the 140-150 in the 7 PRC? Just started looking at all the data in the last few...

    Wyoming to Tennessee move, sort of.

    Could not agree more. What some forget or dont realize, is how long, East to West, Tennessee really is. East Tenn is some of the most beautiful land we have here. There is a reason I did not list Knoxville with the high crime areas like Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga. To me, since I was...

    Wyoming to Tennessee move, sort of.

    Yes our children are taught to look someone in the eye when speaking, firm handshake and have manners. IF you cant deal with those things, you may not like it here. IF you like liberal hunting, fishing, gun laws, people lending a hand, people looking out for their neighbor and we actually know...

    looking for beta on 7mm rem mag vs 300WM

    Vortex optics has a pretty good, recent video on copper performance out of the 308 and other calibers. Pretty good series, and one theory they have preached with copper, instead of energy use the cartridges velocity to learn your min/max yardages. They even suggested 1800-2000 fps for adequate...

    The Hobbit Rifle

    LOL at 56 I think I have dropped, broke, lost just about everything hunting. IF it can be torn up I can do it lol. As I said with the 12 ga Im not looking to save weight, and it seems either one will be fine if this doesnt work out and I go with a short 308 barrel. Thanks again

    The Hobbit Rifle

    Just found this thread, and Im putting together a Encore Pro Hunter, lol but in 12 ga slug with a 28" barrel. One place I hunt at Ft Campbell it either has to be slug or muzzleloader, but the only question I have is why is everyone it seems using the Sharps grip adapter vs the Choate? I thought...

    Hornady 340gr .50cal ELD-X Bore Driver

    You all may have seen it, but here is a video with them discussing the development of the bullet. I think they said it was designed around a 1 in 28 twist barrel with BH209, and they were getting between 1700 and 1900 fps depending on the load..but Im doing all that from memory.
