Does anyone have any insight on the Savage 11/111 Long Range Hunter. I am thinking of purchasing as I have absolutely no experince in building a LR gun. Thinking of the 25-06 or 7 mm.

I am new to reloading and need some help. I am about to reload for my Weatherby Vanguard 25-06 and want to use Nosler 115 grain ballistic tips. Has anyone had any experince with this bullet and any suggestions as to effective load?

You don't need to worry about the Milk River in Northeast Montana for a while. I just left there a couple weeks ago and CWD has taken a severe toll on the whitetails. Fields that usually have 80 to 100, may have had only 8-10. Carcass and bones all over near any water source. It will take a...

Part owner in place east of Malta. After 3 years, finally drew a buck tag. I have been in contact with friends there and they confirm all previous reports. Horrible winter, spring floods, and blue tongue. Agh...... Hopefully I will find one survivor....

Please enter me into the Quigley-Ford scope contest.

Well after three attempts I finally drew a buck tag for Montana BUT the area I hunt is east of Malta. There are numerous reports both from my friends who live there, Internet and Montana Wildlife states that due to the horribile winter they had there that the deer and antelope took a beating...

Terry, our camp is near Nelson Resevoir near Malta. We hunt south of Sako, north of Hiway 2 and near Whitewater. Most of the antelope south of Sako and muleys at other places. We take advantage of the Block Management plus have some properties that friends let us hunt. As I stated on the...

I am from Mississippi, but in co-owner camp in NE Montana. Got first antelope last year. I have been trying to get a deer buck tag for past two years, so now I have two bonus points to apply for the upcoming year. At this point I have to pay whatever they want. Hopefully the higher prices will...

Feel your pain, I am from Gulfport, Ms. and hunt with a club in Perry Co. We do have a food plot on a gas pipe line where you can get about 300 yards. I hunted a place in Alabama that were several planted fields that connected. They planted in the field furtherest from the box blind. The...

Thanks for the help. I will pay more attention to cold/clean barrel shots and adjust accordingly. Again thanks for the info.

Okay, now I am confused. I read on one of the forums about accuracy and that cleaning of the barrel could affect same. The forum indicated that the zero would change after cleaning. I have always had the habit of cleaning my gun after using. I use a copper wire brush, then bore cleaner, the...

I am from Mississippi, no long shots available here but have camp in NE Montana where we duck and pheasant hunt, until year before last. Year before last with Montana friend, using his 7mm (all souped up) shot muley doe at 205 yards. This year again using his gun, shot 14" antelope at 490...

GREAT buck and GREAT shot. 500 yards plus is a long ways. Think about how long it took you to walk that far to your buck. As to the problems, it will help the novices like me if I every get into that situation. Thanks for sharing.:)

Sorry, I was not clear, it is a variable scope. I appreciate the help and will look in to the trigger work. As to be bedding, what do you recommend? As to the reloading, I thought I would look into it after I get the gun this spring and do some shooting, but one thing at a time. Again...

While on our annual trip to Montana, I purchased a new gun with the help of a knownledgable friend. I made a 490 yard shot on Antelope with his gun and some 200+ with my 25-06. Now I am HOOKED. Keep in mind, I am from Mississippi where any shot over 100 yards is unusual. I wanted a rifle with...
