    Rem 700 Pattern .223 Trainer Rifle Recs

    Sounds like Tikka .223 is good to go! I've had too many bad experiences with bad rifles to get something not proven

    Rem 700 Pattern .223 Trainer Rifle Recs

    And just to confirm, I assume it's super important to have the same scope on the training rifle as on the actual hunting gun? Or at the very least the same reticle? I have the Maven rs1.2 and it would be nice to save money on a cheaper scope. But mainly it's not the same weight, so different...

    Rem 700 Pattern .223 Trainer Rifle Recs

    Okay perfect! For a trainer rifle 100% want to have similar weight, stock, length, and ideally same bolt throw. Sounds like the bolt throw is pretty low on the priority list for making a clone training rifle. And there's a lot of aftermarket options to mimic the Seekins stock and trigger for a...

    Rem 700 Pattern .223 Trainer Rifle Recs

    I've definitely had that thought go through haha. I went with the Havak to have something that's ready to hunt, no fuss, great warranty, and most importantly the $550 barrel replacement. (also have been loving the rifle so far) Tikka is 100% best value, but just don't have all the time to tinker

    Just an update here, been loving the Havak Element. I have the Scythe-Ti can, and mavin rs1.2 on it. Consistently shoots 0.75" groups with ELDM and 1.00" with ELDX. Super light weight, little recoil, and was able to tag a bear last week with it! Couldn't be better. Now to find a good training...

    Rem 700 Pattern .223 Trainer Rifle Recs

    Hello! I'm really looking at getting a .223 trainer rifle this offseason to get more practice time in on the range to really dial in wind calls and positional shooting. It seems that the gold standard is the .223 tikka, however my main rifle is the Havak Element which is a Rem 700 ish pattern...

    50-500y 6.5 Black Bear Bullet

    From everyone’s advice, I might run two factory loads then. POI between 147 eldm and 127 lrx is about an inch and a half. Gonna carry the Barnes for sub 150, and the eldm for anything beyond that

    50-500y 6.5 Black Bear Bullet

    That's quite true, and I think it's better if close range was only option. However until I start reloading I can't justify the cost for practice. I'm running through the Rokslide positional shooting and doing 300 y practice as well. I also need all the wind deflection I can get for the berry...

    50-500y 6.5 Black Bear Bullet

    Committing to the ELDM then! It shoots lights out, and the slow factory loading should help with close range shots. Can dial in the 156 berger as a pet load down the line. Thanks!

    50-500y 6.5 Black Bear Bullet

    Hello! I'm currently deep down on overthinking bullet choice for my 6.5 PRC. I'm expecting 90% of my spot and stalk shots from 75 yards to 400 yards, however I also want to predator call. Which could be quite close range. After reading through many 6.5 threads on here and listening to some...

    Tenmile 3x18 FFP vs NF 2.5-10 SFP

    Thanks for that feedback! Validates the decision away from the ten mile. I’ve officially picked up the https://mavenbuilt.com/products/rs1-2-2-5-15x44-ffp?variant=42954112729259 . It’s not the lightest, but it’s ffp and has a good reticle

    The used Nightforce turned out to be a scam haha, gonna try and pick up the Maven Rs1.2 when it's back in stock

    Scam?

    Well shoot, I was getting excited about a scope for my new rifle haha. Also this is on rokslide from yesterday. This account was created last year, but only has made posts in the last two months. Like 10 in a row. Will report

    Scam?

    Thought I'd give an update. These photos seem to be the exact same ones mentioned in this thread. It seems to be confirmed, but this is a scam right?

    WTB SWFA 3-9 HD Mil Quad

    Hello! I'm looking to pick up this scope for my hunting rifle, and figured I'd reach out. Shoot a PM if you have a scope to sell!

    WTB Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 / Maven RS 1.2 2.5-15x

    Hello! I'm looking for either of these scopes above for a new hunting rifle, and figured I'd reach out. I'm ideally looking for Mils, but MOA is fine with me for the right price

    Tenmile 3x18 FFP vs NF 2.5-10 SFP

    I'm hunting out in the washington cascades. It can get windy up there, but hasn't been anything crazy in my experience

    Tenmile 3x18 FFP vs NF 2.5-10 SFP

    Would also like to hear on this. Everything looks great, but 36mm objective would seem to not be enough light for dusk and dawn shots
