While the 280 does have good ballistics, I will never, ever be without a 308. My primary hunting rifle is a 308 and I am in the process of building a heavy in it as well. It is so efficient and accurate that it is irreplaceable. Easy availability of surplus ammo also provides for an affordable...

I have been pondering this subject of late myself. I have to confirm what was posted here earlier, the 7.62 x 39 has significant feeding/reliability issues in an AR. I am seriously considering a 6 x 45 for coyote hunting. Here in Western Ok, the wind is ALWAYS blowing and the 223 is the...

It is finally done! I just finished my new deer/coyote rifle in 260 Remington. I used to have a full custom M-70 in 300 WSM that I loved, but seldom had the time to shoot due to my new career. Having $5000 worth of rifle laying around unused rubbed me the wrong way so I ended up selling it. The...

In my opinion, other than aftermarket parts availabiltiy, there is very little to recommend about the Remington 700 when they were being made with even a moderate level of quality. That time has long since passed and the quality of anything made in the last ten years is ****. If you must use...

In my opinion, the M-70/FN controlled feed action is the best factory action available. The combination of smooth feeding, 3 position safety, and absolute reliability are hard to beat. I have owned at least one of pretty much everything out there and now, it is all I own.

I have been looking into buying a trail camera but with the insane number of manufacturers and models out there, I have no idea where to begin. I dont have unlimited funds but I dont like buying cheap junk either. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Jammer

From SWFA

The amount of copper left behind in the barrel after each shot should drop off significantly at some point. With a quality lapped barrel, it usually isnt much. With a factory barrel, that may be many more or never. In my experience factory bores are usually better handled with Tubbs Final Finish...

Be careful with the break in thing. More barrels are ruinied by improper cleaning during "Break In" than anything else. Use a quality bore quide and let the barrel tell you how many rounds are needed. If it is a high quality hand lapped barrel, 3 or 4 rounds may be plenty. You will find as...

On the contrary. Come give the 308 a try in the long distances and galing winds of the Southwest and your opinion WILL change, fast.

From what I have seen of them, I would make the decision based solely on the value of the rifle and plan on replacing the scope. They are junk and arent fit for anything more than a paperweight.

Just more of what I have already heard about Vortex products. I ordered a 6-24 PST MOA on Friday morning. I am away from home for job related training this week and mine was delivered to the house yesterday! Cant wait to get back home and check it out.

I have personally witnessed a solid chest hit on a whitetail doe that ran off without leaving a single drop of blood. Combing the area the next day produced no results. I love the 223 for what it is best at, varmints. I refuse to use it on anything larger than a coyote. While the laws in many...

I have had several scopes in the Leupold custom shop with excellent results. I dont think they can put the turrets on an VXII though. Check their web site and give them a call to be sure though.

I have been using the 168 Gr Amax on deer for the last five years in my 21 in barreled 308 with outstanding results. Not one animal has taken a single step after being hit. It absolutely does not have an underexpansion issue as was posted earlier. On the small whitetails and pronghorns that we...
