    The come back of Thompson Center

    I have a Renegade and would love to see them bring back the traditional black powder rifles. I'll definitely buy a Contender if they bring them back. I had a .357 Herritt once upon a time but since I have a Blackhawk in .357/44 Bain & Davis I just would get a barrel in that these days.

    Where does it start, is the 13.8” on the website with or without the recoil pad?

    Cartridge consideration

    240 Weatherby, they now come with a fast twist from the factory.

    6cm vs 6arc

    The other caliber to consider might be 6.5 Grendel.

    If you never shot over 600 yards?

    I think 6 CM would work fine. I went 6.5 CM because of factory ammo availability. If I got back into hand loading I would be tempted to go 240 Weatherby for the speed and because it’s a ridiculous cartridge with its unneeded belt but aside from being way flatter shooting it doesn’t have any real...

    Tikka actions vs Custom Actions

    From what they have said on the Shoot2Hunt podcast the magazines will also come with a new bolt stop to allow a longer round to feed but I’d recommend you call UM for specifics, I’m not affiliated with them. https://www.unknownmunitions.com/product/um-tikka-magazines/

    Tikka actions vs Custom Actions

    UM has, or is working on, an extended magazine for the Tikka to allow you more cartridge length.

    Going from multiple rifles to just one

    At the turn of the century I used to manage a gun shop / outdoor range in North Carolina and was able to shoot every day. These days I’m lucky to shoot once a month. :cry: I do have my grandfather’s Model 70 in 30-06 but I have left that the way he configured it, peep sight and all, so it is...

    30-06 for everything????

    I don’t know the older I get the wimpier I get in the recoil department. I grew up in PA and had a pump 30-06 in high school. Later one I got the Safari rifle bug and had all kinds of silly rifles (340 Weatherby, 375 H&H, 416 Remington, 458 Lott) but these days my hunting rifle is a 6.5...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Larger alternatives aren’t new, Elmer Keith was a proponent of them a lifetime ago.

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    What’s old is new again, at one time .220 Swift was the best deer killer out there.

    Rifle Choices

    This is the right answer but I voted .223 ;)

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    I used to own a number of elephant guns (CZ550 and Winchester Model 70 in 375 H&H, Winchester Model 70 in 416 Rem Mag, Weatherby DGR in 458 Lott) but ended up having to sell them at a low point and I'm never going to get to Africa now so it is hard to justify one these days. I may pick up a...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Having a well written article, podcast or video to point people to instead of a huge thread would be a plus, some people just aren’t going to mess with a hundred plus page forum thread.

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    I don’t seem to have edit permission but ignore the word ‘first’ in my last post. My point @87TT Is just that if larger handgun rounds are more effective why isn’t the FBI using them? Or is the 9mm as effective as they seem they need? The Army is going bigger because of body armor not...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    If bigger is not always better why has the FBI gone back to 9mm? I bring that up since the FBI and their criteria are some of the first evidence that has been presented.

    Winchester XPR Chassis 6.8 Western

    Agreed, there is very little out there. I have a pretty short length of pull so I’m going to either try and cut down the factory synthetic stock or buy a Boyd’s for mine. The extra weight of the Boyd’s won’t be horrible since it is a 7mm mag.

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    People have been killing deer with .22 center fires since the beginning of last century. With today’s bullet technology they can more effective than ever with the right shot placement, which is what this thread has been circling the whole time. The lighter recoil and cheaper components allow you...
