    New Deer Rifle- Need Opinions

    My take: buy the best SFP scope you can afford with a reticle that is easy to see against a cluttered background. You only need 10x max or Value Buy: Meopta Optika5 in 2-10. Built like a tank. Splurge Buy: Nightforce SHV 3-10. If I ever need a 3-10, I will buy one of these.

    Your first deer rifle?

    I bought a late 1990Remington M700 Stainless with the dbm feature. I never got to take a deer with it. Shortly after I bought it, I moved to CT which is essentially slug only. Like a moron, I sold it. My first deer rifle is a Savage High Country in 6.5 CM. I still have it. My current deer...

    Help me choose a 6lb mountain rifle!

    Budget Accuracy. For their price, Savage rifles are hard to beat. Both of my Savage rifles are extremely accurate. I am going on a deer hunt this weekend. My primary rifle will be a semi-custom rifle I built around an Origin Action. Although I have more expensive rifles that can do the...

    Influencer - Bad Shots

    No. I just thought he jumped the gun on his shot rather than wait for a better angle. I would call it a C level decision. The 2nd shot was what really got my attention.

    Influencer - Bad Shots

    I think both these shots were stupid. My Opinion: He never gave either buck time to give him a full broadside shot. The shot from the 22 CM was basically in the ass. A good hunter would have taken their time.

    Tikka T3x 30-06 - what 6 or 6.5 ?

    A 6 CM or 243 barrel (takeoff or prefit) is the way to go. The only reason to avoid the take off barrel, they are almost always not threaded. Suppressors are the future. I have a very light X Bolt Mountain Pro in 6.8W. The recoil without a brake is substantial. With my Dead Air Nomad, it...

    Crimson Trace Hardline Pro scopes

    I had a problem with the magnification ring on a CT series.. They sad to destroy it and they would send a replacement. I had a hard time destroying the CT and ended up having to take a dremel to the lenses. Built like a tank.

    Trijicon Credo® 2-10x36

    I have been baffled by their decision not to offer a good, easily visible at low magnification ranges reticle in their Credo line.

    Zermatt Origin LA bottom metal advice

    I have two Origin LA's. The 270 has a BDL floor plate and the 280AI has a M5 setup. They both feed reliably. The problem I have with the BLD is getting the magazine loaded. The design of the Origin ejection port makes it hard to easily load from the top. I don't know about the Hawkins...

    223 69g TMK: best powder

    I landed on snakeyes. Back to the drawing board. With my hunt set for two weeks, I am going a different route this season. On the bright side, I sourced a box of 77g versions for next year.

    280 AI recoil w/o brake

    Mine isn't that bad (8.5lbs with scope), but it is a baby with my Dead Air Nomad on it.

    Kids rifle manifesto

    Good luck. I bought the same rifle for two purposes. - Cheap practice for me - Cheap practice for the kids. They will either use the Tikka or a suppressed 6ARC Savage. I am leaning towards the Tikka because it is so light and handy.
