    Build components for lightweight rifle

    I have a couple that might qualify. 1 is a Kimber Hunter in .280ai that I removed the gel from the buttstock as seen elsewhere on this forum. Now it weighs close to Mountain Ascent weight. Topped it with a Vortex LHT FFP scope. 2 is a Howa Superlite 16" barreled action in 6.5CM. Put a Stocky's...

    Alaska/all around rifle

    The .270 will do everything you mentioned in your first post. If you compare ballistics between any of the cartridges you mentioned, I think that you will find that they are more alike than different within rrsonable hunting distances, this includes the .270. So, you could spend $0 and use the...

    Alaska/all around rifle

    I would approach it in reverse. Figure out which rifle you like the best that falls within your budget, then see what cartridges it is offered in and go from there. I think comfort, weight, and features are more important than cartridge or caliber. I decided I wanted a Kimber Hunter a while...

    2 elk in one season

    Even 1 elk is a lot to cut up, pack out, prep, and freeze. I would buy the bull tag in case an opportunity presented itself, but I wouldn't shoot a second one until the first one was out of the field and the meat was taken care of. Also, enlist a friend (or several) to help if you can. You...

    bullet selection for mountain goat

    I'm taking 150 grain ELD-X in 280ai this year. I've thought about switching to 162 grain, but I already have a load worked up for 150 grain and not sure if it would make a big enough difference to be worth making the change.

    Florida Fishing & Hunting in Late September

    I loved Florida Sportsman when I lived there. I thought about mentioning it in my post, but wasn't sure if it was still in publication. If it has a searchable database or old editions that you could look through it might be worth signing up. I remember that it used to have breakdowns of best...

    Florida Fishing & Hunting in Late September

    I lived in North Florida for a long time. One of the things that I always wanted to do, but never got around to is Tarpon Fishing. There should still be some in Boca Grande during that time frame, but the height of the season has passed, so it probably won't be as crowded. I can't really...

    Reloading Newbies

    I got the lee turret kit. The thing I like about it is I tend to take the timing rod out of it and use it like a single stage press when I am loading rifle rounds. Occasionally I load 9mm or 10mm and for those it use it with the timing rod, so each pull of the handle performs an action and turns...

    Reloading Newbies

    I started with a kit that I picked up on sale. I understood the steps to make a cartridge (remove spent primer, insert new primer, measure powder, etc.), however, I didn't know which parts of the process I would find tedious or annoying. You learn that pretty fast when you start with a basic...

    Great Deal for Howa Superlight plus Vertical Grip option

    I decided to go with the Hunter Blem and was pleasantly surprised when there was a discount after I added it to cart. It looks like the independence day sale applies to them as well.. If anyone is on the fence about ordering one, now is probably a good time to do it.

    Great Deal for Howa Superlight plus Vertical Grip option

    Same boat here. I'm wondering if the discount will only apply to full price items since the stocks are currently on an Independence day sale. Haven't had a chance to call them yet. Still trying to decide on a color scheme.
