A good friend of mine and old boss owns a decent size gun shop. Could hunt with anything he wants basically, but he ALWAYS grabs his old Ruger m77 in 30-06.
This is just MI whitetail, but the gun has never let him down after all these years. I think he got it in the 80’s used from a buddy.
I...
LOVE my harvester evo.
Not sure why I’d spend any more to be honest. Makes a 300 win mag feel like I’m shooting a low recoil .308.
Lots of people say you need to spend $1000+ on a TBAC but the fact that a tube with baffles is $1000+ is crazy.
If I were in some sort of weird competition...
I've been on the fence between 6.8 western, 7mm mag, and 300wsm.
The correct answer is to get them all eventually.. lol! But 6.8 really looks like it has some awesome performance.
2023 I took a Weatherby MK V Hunter in 300 win mag. Wasn’t successful, but saw some elk early on in the trip. Plan on returning in 2026, and currently shopping for a new rifle! Moved on from the Wby because a friend wanted it more than me [emoji23]
6.8 western?
7mm mag?
Decisions decisions...
Very valid points, thanks! What caliber is your Seekins?
I don’t mind my Winchester trigger. I also have an XPR in 30-06 that supposedly has the “same” trigger. My xpr trigger is unbelievably good after a couple hundred rounds. Wondering if my M70 will break in the same. But I don’t really have...
I eventually want to do a custom Tikka, but for now it’s not really something I want to start. There really aren’t any good gunsmiths near me so everything would have to be sent out, not to mention it would end up costing 2-3x as much I’m sure [emoji23]

Yes, absolutely. But I also want something with a little bit more oomph. I know the .308 would do the job just fine, and it would likely come along in the truck for the journey as a backup.
I enjoy using different guns [emoji2369] and trying out new calibers.

I am in the planning stages of another Montana elk trip, and also just want another rifle!
Last time I took a Weatherby Mk V Hunter in 300 win mag, but have since moved on from that rifle because a friend wanted it more than I did [emoji23]
While this won’t be a backpacking/camping hunt trip...
As a former silencer shop dealer (I managed the store,) and someone who personally owns cans, here are my thoughts
- first don’t be overwhelmed. The process seems crazy from an outsider perspective-but working through it has never been easier. For an easy process just visit your local silencer...
Been looking at this rifle. It’s a shame it’s not threaded. I think Tikka would hit a home run if they offered their sub-$1k T3X models with factory threaded options.

Thanks guys, still available! Save me from the temptation of keeping it [emoji28]
Had some trade offers but I’m pretty set on hunting gear currently! Looking for cash to fund a new guitar! [emoji445][emoji450]
So I guess if you have a nice telecaster or??? Laying around we can talk trades...
