    Suggestions for a lever action?

    I do understand a 45-70 can be loaded down to 44 mag if needed but vice versa is impossible. I don’t reload is the only issue, and that also doesn’t sound very efficient if I did…

    Suggestions for a lever action?

    Hello, I post quite a bit here, but that has a lot to do with the wealth of knowledge on here. In the world of tikkas and trijicons there are also lever guns. I was wanting to get a lever gun to chase whitetails and black bears in the mountains next to my house in Kentucky. Shots are 100-125...

    Tikka T3x Whitetail Hunt

    Took my new Winchester model 70 EWSS 308 on a 3 day deer hunt. After having it out I’ve decided I’ll be sticking with the tikka 30-06. Tikka has a slimmer stock, lighter weight, smoother bolt with a lower bolt throw and is just more pleasurable to tread around with. Now I just need to get rid...

    Ruger M77 Hawkeye SS or Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS MB

    Ruger makes them in limited runs. They’ll show up again. The Winnie isn’t available in that caliber rn. It’s cataloged but Winchester also makes them in limited runs. Seems both companies prioritize the cheap American and XPR.

    Ruger M77 Hawkeye SS or Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS MB

    I would just use a 30-06 before I’d use a 300 win mag with a 20” barrel.

    Ruger M77 Hawkeye SS or Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS MB

    Just the standard Hawkeye ss. It has a 24” barrel.

    Ruger M77 Hawkeye SS or Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS MB

    Looking to get a 300 win mag in one of these 2 platforms. I don’t want a tikka, so please save the rokslide tikka love (no kimbers also. Bad luck with one prior). I already have a few of those. Wanting something a little different. Crf, 3 position safety, and hinged floor plate. Which of these...

    THOMPSON CENTER ICON RETURNING (Anyone have any knowledge on them?)

    He said they were trimming the action down to cut weight, and he also said the trigger issue was being worked out because he realized they weren’t the best. He stated 2-3 lb crisp trigger with no creep were the standard. I feel like all your worries he covered in the hornady podcast. As about...

    THOMPSON CENTER ICON RETURNING (Anyone have any knowledge on them?)

    Seems like a good option for me to get into muzzleloader hunting? This is only my second year hunting.

    THOMPSON CENTER ICON RETURNING (Anyone have any knowledge on them?)

    I saw were the new owner from Thompson center was gonna prioritize the relaunch of the TC ICON rather than the cheaper compass and Venture. I’m pretty young, so I never got to get my hands on the ICON the few years they were offered but my buddy was saying they were ahead of their time (3...

    Accupoint 3-9 vs 2.5-12.5

    I’m going w the Accupoint bc Trijicon is one of the few scope brands that consistently pass forms testing. Leupold and Vortex lost zero in every test.

    Accupoint 3-9 vs 2.5-12.5

    If you can see by my post history I’ve been debating optics for some while now, but am ready to order the scope. I’m stuck between 2 options. Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 And the Trijicon Accupoint 2.5-12.5x42 Both have capped windage and elevation. The 2.5-12.5 has adjustable parallax but...

    New rifle

    I found a gun smith about an hour away, suppose to drop it off Tuesday for the action issue, as well as threading and a muzzle brake. Debating Cerakote as well, but haven’t decided.

    New rifle

    I’m probably just going to take the advise of everyone and get a smith to look at it. Not sure if I have enough time to order a new spin on barrel for it. Maybe I do. I’m not home much, so it’s hard to get time + the closest smith is a few hours away. Worst case scenario I’ll just grab the old...

    New rifle

    Yeah I’m down to do that. Any recommendations on barrels? I’ll see if I can find a gun smith as well. Save a few bucks.
