    it is built on a 700 Remington. I had a gunsmith Clay Spencer in Charlottesville VA build it for me. I use the AI mags, and it feeds fine. I add to adjust the lips on the magazine, but after that no issues at all. The magazine opening was too tight, so the round was not up high enough for...

    Picatinny Bipod Adapter

    it is best to go into the barrel channel and either insert a threaded insert, or a t-nut. I used t-nuts on a Christianson arms stock without any trouble. I bought the t-nuts from Ace hardware, they are 10/32 thread pitch. The overall diameter of the t-nut is 3/4" so very little chance of the...

    Views on Hunting w/Dogs

    1. Do you think hunting with hounds for legal game is ethical? Living in VA dog hunting is very big here. I typically only go on 2-3 dog hunt days a season. I prefer to still hunting. Of the people here against dog hunting is because a few bad apples spoil it for everyone. Some people line...

    Shooting question

    There are tons of rounds available for the 300 win mag. I would start by figuring your barrel twist rate so that you can match the bullet weight to it. I would stick with the higher end bullets for factory loads. I have had good success with factory sierra bullet. It will take some shooting...

    5th wheel or Travel Trailer?

    I have had both 5th wheel and travel trailers. I have a 2500 Duramax, as far as towing the 5th wheel was much more comfortable riding. It was a lot less bouncy. you also need to consider that a 30' 5th wheel may only extend 25' behind the truck, where the 30' travel trailer will be around...

    foot pain with surgery in the forecast

    I have not checked with the outfitter to see if I can push it back. that might be a good idea. Worst part is I know I get to do this twice. The 5 months is the part that I am hung up on. the Dr said he recommends 6 months before I could run again, so I would think hiking would be almost as...

    How heavy

    12 (300wsm) and 14 pounds (260 Ackley improved). The first year I went to Colorado I carried the 12 300 wsm, and it wore me out. The main difference in a mountain light weight rifle and a heavy barrel benchrest/tactical rifle is recoil management and how fast the barrel heats up. a skinny...
