    High value predator rifle?

    This is "value," too.

    What's your most accurate hunting rifle?

    Cooper M52 Timberline in 280 AI and Cooper M21 Varminter .223 Rem. Both are very accurate and super easy to develop handloads - shoot just about anything I put into them.

    Sold Tikka T3x Alpine Veil stock + Limbsaver recoil pad

    $100 TYD CONUS. This is a take off stock that has been used for a couple years and is in near perfect condition. I couldn't find any dings or scratches on the finish, but can't say it's actually new/never used. Limbsaver Airtech recoil pad (MSRP $42) included.

    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    Quick follow-up. I was out at the the range doing some final adjustments to my scope on the 280AI. Once I was happy, I shot 3 rounds at 200 yds. Two clicks to the right and one click down and I think the scope, rifle, cartridge, powder, bullet are dialed in. This was 143 Hammer Hunter at 3100...

    6mm creedmoor or 6mm gt

    BTW, I've recently learned that "recoil sensitivity" is frequently largely sensitivity to the sound rather than the recoil. I have a 6GT PRS gun, ~18# and I've shot it a whole bunch without muzzle device, with a brake and with a suppressor. The suppressor feels WAY better than the brake, even...

    6mm creedmoor or 6mm gt

    I'm super novice for PRS. My first PRS rifle is a GAP PPR, so I only had a choice of 6CM or 6GT to stay in production class. GT has less recoil and longer barrel life. I'm using Alpha brass, and getting single digit SD and ES, so that's fine for me. If I get more into this, I may consider...

    6mm creedmoor or 6mm gt

    Old post, but here's what I've chosen. PRS rifle -> 6 GT, 26" barrel + brake Hunting (deer/coyote) rifle -> 6 CM, 20" barrel + suppressor.

    Kubota vs John Deere

    Great choice going with Kubota. They are definitely the premium product in the <75 hp market and have excellent customer service and parts availability for the long run. I don't know if this was mentioned before, but for the smaller tractors, the Kubota is more "made in America" than the...

    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    I have a healthy stash of Accubonds and Hammers. I am mostly a meat hunter, so I too like the idea of monolithic copper or bonded bullets to preserve meat. Plus, it's just fun to mess around with different bullets, etc. just to see what they can do.

    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    I got out to the range to test the upper limits of the Hammer 143's with H4381sc. Below are 3-shot groups at 3095 fps and 3131 fps. Single digit S.D. and low double digit E.S. For the record, these were both right around 0.2 MOA at 100yds. Elevation is off 'cuz scope is still zeroed for 160 gr...

    Bullet for whitetail deer from 6mm Creedmoor

    Lots of votes for 95 gr Nosler BT, but nobody seems to have these in stock right now...

    Bullet for whitetail deer from 6mm Creedmoor

    Hunting in PA so nothing over 300 yds. Trying to decide between heavier (100+ gr) cup-and-core like Berger VLD/EH, ELD-X, etc. vs. lighter bonded bullet like partition, accubond, etc. What do you y'all think?

    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    Yep. 100% I'd rather have a slower, well-placed bullet than a faster miss.

    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    Update: I ran out of Winchester LR primers and had to switch to CCI BR-2. I repeated testing around 58.0 grains H4831SC. The best load for my rifle with 160 gr. Accubonds wound up at 58.0 gr H4831SC, CCI primer, Peterson brass giving 2875 fps with single-digit SD and ES and 1/2 MOA accuracy...

    Barricade stop for Tikka T3x, not the TacA1?

    I'm looking for a simple, screw-in barricade stop for my Tikka T3x hunting rifle. Currently, the cross bar on my tree stand tends to bonk the mag release button and drop my magazine when drawing a bead. This is very inconvenient, to say the least. A simple barricade stop would be perfect...

    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    58.0 gr H4831sc, Peterson brass, Winchester LR primer. There seems to be a really nice node, since the 57.5 gr shot 2866 fps avg, SD 4.8, ES 11.7, and the 58.5 gr shot 2875 fps avg, SD 6.3, ES 13.8 with decent groups. This was just my initial trial. I will need to run more loads centered on...

    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    I shot a ladder today with Hammer Hunter 143gr bullets over H4831SC. I got up to 60.5 gr of powder (3000 fps) without any sign of pressure. It looked like 60-60.5 would be a nice velocity node. I'll have to try some more loads at that upper range and/or try H4350 or RL23. Unfortunately, I ran...
