That's a nice looking rifle. If I can get a 165 close to 3000 with a 24" I'll be quite happy. I'll probably end up shooting some lighter monos for whitetails here at home as my shots will be inside 300, but the rifle is being set up with elk hunting out west in mind. I think that 165 should do...
It's a complete rifle, just needs re-barreling. I've heard people talk about extraction problems with 700's but I've never had any issues with it. I have a 300wm and probably put 750 to 1000 shots through the 7 mag that now needs the barrel, all but a few with stiff handloads. Have you...
Been a while since I've posted, but I know lots of you guys like the 300 WSM. I'm looking at the 270 WSM throated long and twisted fast enough to shoot the 165 accubond lr. Seems like a guy could get the best of both worlds of tge 6.8 western and the extra capacity of the wsm. Is there any...
The pickle relish and the worcestershire really make it. One thing I forgot to mention is that the patties are a bit prone to sticking to the grill grate. I usually spray a little canola oil (the aerosol stuff) on my grill right before I drop the patties on. The bacon grease will keep it from...
My best friend and hunting buddy shared this with me, and I couldn't believe how good it is. I don't have exact amounts, but I can give decent estimates. The last batch I made was 1lb 10oz of ground venison with no added fat. Here's what I added:
2 or 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
5 strips thick...
I would like to buy a box of 6.5mm 100gr ttsx. I do have a lot of bullets I could possibly trade from .204 to .375. I have a full box of 120gr 6.5mm ttsx I could trade if you're looking for those, amongst many others. Give me a holler if we can make a sale or trade.
I wear rubber boots a lot for work, and almost exclusively (unless it's extremely cold) for hunting. The most comfortable pair I ever owned were called BOGS. I'm not sure if they still make them or not. I have a tall arch so most rubbers fit tight on the top of my foot unless I can find a wide...
I recently bought a 60's model R700 7mm mag barreled action from a member here. I believe the barrel that's on it is of a heavier contour than the one remington currently uses. Unfortunately, the stock I was planning on dropping it into is a newer cdl model with a simms pad. The action just...
DVOR, a branch of optics planet has this on closeout if anybody needs a 240 weatherby die. Honestly at this price you could buy it and swap the micrometer out with a standard top on any forster seat seating die pretty cheaply...
I have a extra full box of 7mm Barnes 150 grain ttsx laying around. I'm looking to trade these for a full box of 120 grain 7mm ttsx. I have lots of other bullets (barnes, nosler, sierra) in various calibers. I know I have several .308 nosler bt in several weights and some barnes, several .257...
Thank you for the info, I've been wondering about the bedding scenario. I bought a cdl stock off ebay last night, so I'm pretty much locked in there. Now I just have to finalize my barrel choice.
Were any of your builds using wood stocks? I'm kind of set on using a factory cdl stock for mine. I don't think I'll need anything but bedding and maybe some light barrel inletting.
