    What’s going on with the Factory Hornady 7 PRC ammo?????

    Seems a bit like it’s just a less efficient 280ai

    300wsm vs 7prc vs 7rem mag?

    A lot of good input here. I would agree that if you already have a 7mm rem mag, only reason to switch to 7PRC would be if you wanted a new rifle. Same thing with 300 win mag vs 300PRC. The PRC rounds are updated versions. All that said, if looking for a general do it all North America rifle...

    Rifle weight. Is it worth it?

    I am really curious what peoples 100% all in rifle weights actually are. I am finishing up a 280ai build now and 100% fully in (except for a sling) with silencer, ammo, sling rings, glass, scope rings, scope level, scope caps....I am just under 167 ounces. I cold have gone with a lighter scope...

    Long Range Hunting: Hold Over Reticle, Dial or Both?

    Of course not. No one has data to support “everyone should try both ways and see what works best for them”

    Long Range Hunting: Hold Over Reticle, Dial or Both?

    It’s Friday night and we have received 30” in last 7 days with more in the way. I am drinking champagne, sitting in the hot tub and getting stoked to rip Highlands tomorrow and Ajax Sunday…so gonna be away from online forums for the next couple days.

    Long Range Hunting: Hold Over Reticle, Dial or Both?

    Are you only hunting on the eastern part of Montanah at the same elevation at all times? Or are you saying that you have one of those magical turrets marked in yardage that is correct at both 12,000 ft and 5,000 feet? Please do let me know where I can get these magic turrets. If you are...

    Long Range Hunting: Hold Over Reticle, Dial or Both?

    I never said "everyone else is wrong." I said dialing isn't better for everyone (the other posters are the ones insisting they are right) and that people should try both ways to determine which is best for them. I did say that the dials people purchase with yardage are dumb unless they are...

    Long Range Hunting: Hold Over Reticle, Dial or Both?

    I have not seen a single piece of data from anyone. Where is the listing of shooters and their times? Just a claim that they have seen many "world champions" that have a hard time using a tree.

    Long Range Hunting: Hold Over Reticle, Dial or Both?

    Out of curiosity, are you dialing with a turret that is marked in yardage, or MIL/MOA? Side note....as someone that has been shooting a bow for 30 plus years...a single pin disgust me and you made my argument for me as it relates to your decision making ability. (unless you are a...

    Long Range Hunting: Hold Over Reticle, Dial or Both?

    My observation is with a tree and proper dope chart, dialing the scope is an extra step that typically de-stabilizes the gun when you take your hands off your anchors. Shooters then are fidgeting and re-adjusting every time when moving between targets at different distances. This becomes even...

    Long Range Hunting: Hold Over Reticle, Dial or Both?

    Sounds like you are timing a lot of slow mental processors, and that is certainly fine, not all people have the same mental capacity, may have been english majors in college, etc. If you can't move your reticle up a fraction of a millimeter faster than you can turn a knob...I can't help you.

    Long Range Hunting: Hold Over Reticle, Dial or Both?

    That is a reasonable conclusion, but I would suggest that if people practiced with a FFP scope with a tree, they would be faster, especially under pressure. I totally agree with the premise that trying to use a second plane scope in the same manner and "memorizing" the power level that certain...

    Long Range Hunting: Hold Over Reticle, Dial or Both?

    Just to be clear....you are saying because it is faster/more better for you, everyone should do the same?

    Gunwerks Bipod Review

    Thanks. It feels a bit like Bipods are a dying bread for many of us western hunters, but I would still like to have one available that easily goes on and off a picatinny without any other adapters left on the rifle.

    Experience with RRS Tripod Setups

    I like the idea of the 22i, but not sure it would be good for hunting. I am 5'11" and am considering the TFCT-33. One less leg to deal with feels beneficial.

    Nosler suppressor

    I can't figure out why the all Ti version is so much heavier then the AL/Ti version.

    (Another) 280AI Western Hunting Rifle Build (prefit)

    Thanks for the input. I was worried about losing to much velocity by going to shorter barrel. My thought process was that in the elk woods, I would carry it with just a thread protector. In the sage flats for deer and lope, it won't matter as much if I throw a can on. I hear you on the...
