I have not used the 156 oryx in my .260 Remington yet, but have seen good results with other oryx calibers. Currently using the Lapua 155gr Maxi Point in the Rem 260 for larger game. It is a modern design, that I suspect was developed for Scandinavian moose and European boars. Very accurate in...

And now the 22 Creedmoor enters the ring....

I thought Russian ammo imports were area nixed.

Someone probably just loaded the wrong 100 unit carton in the the packaging machines. It is all automated on the line. Someone made a mistake or skipped the quality checks. Wondering how many were wrong?

Had the same problem opening the orange juice the other morning. That bottle was sealed hard...

I like to introduce kids to a caliber larger than a 22 rimfire with a vintage Savage bolt action in 30-30. It has enough weight to mitigate some of the moderate recoil in factory loads. Most youth rifles are far too light IMHO. I use cast bullet reloads during the initial training and can then...

I can recommend the 8 shot S&W 627 from the Performance Center. My wife liked mine so much, I had to buy a second one. She uses the 4 inch and mine is the 5 inch version. They shoot great. For everyday carry we have the S&W 581 and 681 (L frame) service revolvers with 4 inch barrels.

Remington also made "carbine" versions with factory 18.5" barrels ,in most calibers, but now they commonly get a premium price. If you really want a lever action then a Browning or a Henry are your best choices. I would go with the 6.5CR or .243

I use a vintage Remington 760 in 30-06 for back county excursions. Almost as fast as an autoloader and more accurate than most people expect. They are available in .243 and 308. I bring an extra 10 round magazine (Triple-K brand) loaded with heavy bullets if I expect bears to be an issue. It...

I noticed that you replaced the Carbon 6 barrel with another Carbon 6 barrel. Was that a warrantee replacement? If so, I would try another barrel maker if you can afford to experiment further. I presume head spacing, bullet lead or jump to the rifling have all been examined in detail.

What is the twist rate of the barrel and what bullets are you using?

Explorer case #15416 list interior dimensions 60 5/8" long 14 13/16" wide 6 5/8" deep. Lots of options listed including custom soft case to ride inside the hard case. These cases look good, but I have no direct experience with them. https://www.explorercases.com/en/sector/hunting-outdoor/

For any distance travel by car or plane I always use Pelican hard cases. I know folks who have used the hard cases from Harbor Freight with good success. I only use soft cases when going to local ranges and hunting. Never had a problem. If I go p-dog shooting I put my three rifles in soft cases...

I am not sure how old that BAR is, but my friends also shoots the Remington core locks in it.

I would love to shoot some Sandhill cranes. We got some and grilled them on a Texas trip a few years ago.
