About 12 years ago I bought a Remington 700 CDL stainless fluted in 270 WSM. They had a clearance on the same rifle but in 17 Remington. Has a very cute very short action and price was like $400. I thought, what would I do with that. Note I wish I had it.

I have and like my Remington 700s and don’t own a Savage. But people who own them seem to love them. What do you not like about them?

A couple of years ago I bought a Cooper Model 52 in 300 WM. I was saving for a LR gun and walked into Sportsmans and they had it on clearance for $1900. My first Cooper was about 5 years ago used for $1100. I also bought a Model 52 in 30-06. They shoot lights out. May be more than you want...

which ones do you have?

So I was going through the same thought process. I have an older pair of Leica 8x42, that are really nice. Love them, but living in the west, I felt that I need something stronger. I already have Leupold BX-5 in 10x42 and a pair of Steiner Predator in 10x50. I also didn't want to spend a...

They are made in Payson UT. They say that 95% are made in the USA. They have over 400 people working that their facility. At their peak they can manufacture 700 per day. That may have changed depending on availability of materials.

A few years ago at that large gun show in Vegas, Liberty made and brought a HUGE safe kind of as a marketing stunt, thinking no one would want such a large thing. A bunch of attendees wanted them. I believe they eventually sold a few. Some of the videos you should watch include the Liberty...

There are multiple great books on elk hinting. I would get them and study for a crash course. I would let him point you in the right direction and have a great week hunting. If you read the books on elk hunting and better understand the habitat and how elk live, you will have a great hunt...

I have been thinking of the k-hornet. When I was running into issues, I wondered what my options were and if k-hornet would fix some issues then that was the route I was going to go.

From the first post, the first number is the Hornady cartridge prior to firing, the second after firing, and the third, what the manual says should be for that cartridge. I went and found some Remington 22 Hornet Ammo and took it out and fired two rounds. The brass looks fine. If I didn't...

When I entered the measurements, they were all lined up. The first number is the unfired cartridge, the second number is the fired casing, and the third is the number found in the Hornady reloading manual, I assume is the SAAMI. Measuring to the shoulder is not a precise as I would want...

I have also thought about buying either the Winchester or Remington shells, and see if the same issues are found there also.

Another interesting item the Tech guy told me is that Hornady is around 2 years behind on all orders.

So I finally got out with a 22 Hornet that I recently purchased. It is a Kimber or Oregon Model 82. I looks like new, not a mark on it. I would love to have reloaded for it, but did not have brass. I did find a store with 22 Hornet loaded ammo though. They had 3 different loads available, a...

I just picked up a Kimber Model 82 22 Hornet. I bought 75 rounds of ammo and also already had powder and primers. I read somewhere that the the Kimber handled the .224 bullets. Does anyone know? I found some .224 36 grain bullets, and thought I would try them out. When a person measures the...
