    Care for blued/wood stocked rifles on tough hunts?

    Form, those are freakin awesome! Yeah, would say thats using them hard alright haha. I really like how low you managed to get the scope on that pre-64, especially since it has the non raised stock. The one I am lookin at is the raised comb model but the others like your just look so much...

    Care for blued/wood stocked rifles on tough hunts?

    Cool, that one's blued, too? Nothin wrong with honest character, as long as it ain't broke!

    Care for blued/wood stocked rifles on tough hunts?

    That sounds like a good solution. Trying hard to decide between a Win 70 Classic Stainless (New Haven) in a synthetic stock...or a Win 70 Pre 64 blued/walnut.

    Care for blued/wood stocked rifles on tough hunts?

    Figured this would be the place to ask, since the forum has an enviable reputation for rough country/mountain/hard hunting (IMO) Let's say you had a rifle in your stable like a Win 70 Pre 64 in 270, etc. And you wanted to hunt it as your main rifle, including out in whatever elements you do...

    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    Just one shot after having worked the bolt hard/fast enough for the sear/trigger to catch each other as meant to. its back to normal afterward Personally I think unless you're working the bolt with "Battle of Mons" intensity its not really gonna happen...but it does happen.

    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    I was able to recreate the "heavy trigger phenomenon" on a Vanguard chambered in 6.5 CM. Took a few tries though, and working it with some mustard lol. Think it was Sun_and_steel who asked me to try in the first place actually.

    6mm 95gr LRX vs 6.5mm 127gr LRX?

    Hey MtnRunner, Sorry, no I did not. And ended up shooting my first deer this season with Federal blue box because I was too pressed for time to work up a load.

    Newer Win 70 MOA triggers?

    Right on, I figure they handle absolutely normal use just fine :)

    Newer Win 70 MOA triggers?

    Figure this is definitely the forum on which to ask... Has anyone given the newer style (ie post New Haven) Win 70 enclosed triggers a tough workout in crap conditions? If so, how do they hold up? Its knocked as being by nature less reliable than the older open trigger, sure...But HOW much...

    Tikka Nitriding

    Welcome! Bears further reading, I know I saw other sites making the same point that otherwise nitriding may harden SS, but it doesn't help with corrosion resistance

    Tikka Nitriding

    Basically only certain low temperature nitriding methods actually even make stainless steel more corrosion resistant, right? https://www.ahtcorp.com/articles/blog/nitrided-titanium-alloys-vs-stainless-steel/

    Springfield Waypoint vs Weatherby 307

    As the title says. Is the Waypoint a substantially better rifle for the much higher price tag? I'm not well versed in either, but they seem to be pretty much the same rifle to me, aside from the Waypoint has a better stock? Both 700 action footprint, both have a TriggerTech trigger, etc

    Reliable Two-Stage Triggers

    Thanks for the info and links! The Cadex is tempting because its available domestically (Canada here) but the winning bets probably waiting to get my hands on a Geissele. Good luck with the Bix'n Andy! Looks like a quality trigger

    Trijicon Huron 3x9x40 Drop Eval

    Cool testing, thank you It would be really interesting to see how the Burris Droptine does. Like them for the value/glass quality but I wonder how they actually hold up

    .223 Koolaid

    Great stuff and great shooting! Man if I wasn't as committed to lead free, I'd be right there with y'all.
