I was just thinking the same thing! A good friend of mine shot 2 moose with his 7x57. Both of them were under 100yards,but they went down quickly. He was a single father raising 4 kids. Certainly he didn't have money to spend on a new rifle. The 7mm he used on deer worked fine and I'm reasonably...

Just want to say that a400 would be a great choice! I'm using their a350 xtrema and I really enjoy it. Mine does not have the kick off system but I'm quite sure the 400 does. I have to say 3in. Not a problem for me 50 times a day ,but 3.5 is a bit rough!

I added some info earlier about my Beretta extrema 350 and neglected to say as much as I like the gun recoil from 3.5 high density shot is brutal! Some of the extramas have the kick off in their stock. Mine does not. I can buy one for 250.00 but I'm not sure how much weight it would add. So far...

Happy to hear he found something he's excited about! I'm not too old but I've got high mileage. Been looking at the Tikka t3x in 7mm08. I'm glad you started this thread. Recoil and light weight are attractive to me. I've gotten some different opinions and I'm not getting any younger! Nobody's...

I hunted deer here in Maine for years with a 3030. I did pretty well with it after putting Williams peep sight on it. Most shots were well under 100 yards. One day coming out of the woods with my Brother I saw a deer standing on a hill close to 300 yards away. I clocked the 3030 and put it to my...

You may have already killed the one that got your dog . If you hit one of them the pack will finish it off. They won't pass up a meal in the winter. Either way no reason you shouldn't try to get some more if you have the time to put in. I'm sorry about your pet.
