The Labradar is a precision piece of equipment. That being said, it errors frequently with my suppressed rifles. It is sensitive to supressor concusive energy and residual range noise. Any vibration or inadvertent movement can easily change point of aim... ERROR again. You could, or will spend...

I own Leupold, Burris-both Old & New School, Nightforce NXS 8-32×, Meopta spotter and an ancient Weaver 4x. I've had great service with them all. My newer scopes are the NF 8-32× & Burris XTR2 FFP H59 6-20×. The NF & Burris are heavy, illumination is bright on the NF and dim on the Burris. The...

I'd steer toward the Accubonds. I've never had phenomenal experience with the 338 Partitions. The A-Frame's have a better build. My go-to hunting bullet is Barnes-X. Interbond's and Accubond's are very accurate and perform well, also.

I lived on Baranof Island in the Southeast Alaskan Panhandle for 34 years. The ABC Islands have the greatest Brown Bear density on the planet. Although I have a 1911 45acp, that thought never crossed my mind. I hunted deer not bear, yet my hunting weapons were Brownie capable. When I didn't...

I own and shoot a Savage Elite Precision 338LM. At 35 break-in rounds down the barrel, it's showing 1/4" MOA at the hundred from the bench. With scope, QD mount, bipod and three rounds in the magazine it weighs in at 19-1/2 lbs. It's a bench rifle. I have a CA MPR 338LM, carbon fiber wrapped...

The 30 calibers you mentioned are all very good. I have limited experience with the 300 WSM, but the two I tested were very accurate and had only moderate recoil. One cartridge you could also consider is the 300 Weatherby. It has a little more poop than the Winnie, but the reason I really like...

Have you weighed a Nightforce? My SFP 8-32×56 NXS, sporting only a 30mm tube is the HEAVIEST scope I own!!! I own old school USA Burris with steel tubes.... they are a little heavier than my comparable old school Leupolds, and even a new age Burris XTR2. Lighter stocks, carbon fiber wrapped...

30-06 is STILL the best all-around North American Game Rifle. The ammunition is everywhere and affordable. Great barrel life, widest bullet selection of any caliber, and it's inherently accurate. The 24" barrel is better for efficiency than the 22" or 20" ones. Handloaders can do more with it...

The CA MPR 338LM weighs in bare, at 8.5 pounds. They have other carbon fiber wrapped barrel models that might come in even lighter. They guarantee sub-MOA accuracy, and deliver. But for Elk, wouldn't the 338 Win Mag be just as reliable out to the 600 with a 225gr or 250gr premium bullet? I've...
