I would look for a Weatherby Vanguard. They are great for the money. They are kind of like a R700 with all the flaws fixed. I have 3. My latest is a Badlands in .308. bought it for $699. it's a tack driver
Also have a .243 and .270. My personal opinion is they are a better action that the...
Midway has the Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16x42 for $199. Also have Vortex Viper 2-10x44 for around $259.
I have both. The Diamondback HP has the same glass and is a lot better deal.
If you are getting 3/4"" groups with factory FMJ you have about the most accurate guns I have ever seen or heard of. I personally have over 30 and know a lot of people with a lot of guns. Never seen one that accurate even with some damn expensive barrels. Even the best are lucky to get MOA just...
One thing to keep in mind if you have to carry it long distance is weight. I've made all my ARs fairly light weight due to the fact I hunt with them. I try to keep my barrels under 30oz. It sucks carrying a heavy weapon.
I've used all those and several more calibers. I liked the 110 Vmax out of the 6.8 or Sierra 85s for the 6.5. I've always favored the 6.8 though. You can tell it hits harder.
If using a 5.56/.223 I stick with a 55-60 gr Ballistic tip. If shooting Vmax I'll use 60gr. The 55s tend to splash. I've...
I hardly ever use prey sounds any more unless it's really cold or bad weather. Being in the east coyotes have a lot of food. I learned a long time ago to use coyote vocals.
Also see if you can get them to answer back. If they do move closer. Most won't travel far or go up steep hills.
Most also...
Pay pal won't cover anything firearm related even if it's not F&F. You can pay the fee all you want but unless you can somehow try to show proof with out it being related then you may be SOL
They did have the chargemaster 1500 on close out at Natchez not long ago. I ended up buying the newer version called the Chargemaster Supreme. I like it. It learns the powder and gets faster. Honestly though it's fast enough with out learning. If I could do it again I'd probably go lite or...
I love Ramshot Hunter for .243. . Tried it a few years ago. It was accurate enough across all weights for me to decide to go ahead and buy 8lbs. Im Set for years
I have 3 Leupold's and never had to re-zero them. I don't know what people are doing to have to. It can't be that big of a problem or people wouldn't buy them and they sell a ton. For a non dialing scope they are awesome. They have great glass and about the lightest weight of any scope.
