That seems like extremely bad advice to me. Sounds like a good way to bend a scope tube.

That’s what she said lol. I mean I think it will work well for what it’s designed for. I can tell it was purposely built for sight picture retention and comfort shooting prone. For my pride of ownership I like to look at my guns as much as I enjoy using them.

Did you call Talley and they said to just “tighten it on down”?

The lack of bloodshot meat and 1.5 entry and exit holes are very standard for a hammer hunter. You’d be amazed at what those small hammers can do. A friend of mine shot a doe at 300 yards quartering to us almost square. He tucked a 35gr hammer at the crease of the shoulder and body. The entry...

Life’s too short to have a rifle with a stock as ugly as that one. When I first saw it I thought it was a practical joke. I get the purpose behind it but it ain’t for me.

I shot two deer with a 90 hht in a 6mm creedmoor. I will say the bloodtrails were notably better than a regular hh. The hht seems to expand quicker and they seem to expand better on low resistance tissue. Just my observation from my two. A friend has been using a 75 hht in a 243 with very good...

I’d take a 6mm remington over a 243 personally because I like the cool factor of it plus I think it’s a better design we cartridge than a 243. Not much difference between a 243,6mm remington and a 6mm creedmoor. I shoot a 6mm creedmoor and it accounted for five deer last season. I liked using...

In my 6mm creedmoor i shoot a 87 vmax and 88 hammer hunter and I have shot these two loads side by side and have noticed no difference. Could be my specific instance though. They utilize the same power and charge weight even, they're literally identical loads in every way except the bullet. Try...

I’ve shot 4 deer this year with the 88 hammer hunter out of a 6mm creedmoor and it does a dandy job on them from 30 yards to 460 yards. H4350 would be my powder of choice. I’m getting 3380 fps with 44gr of h4350 in a 28” barrel. Start low and work up with caution. Load data is available on the...

Nice shooting.

I watched part of one episode of their podcast and it felt too much like an advertisement than an educational thing. Hornady makes a fine varmint bullet and they’re good at keeping them in stock that’s where my involvement with hornady ends really.

Absolutely it would. I’m sure if I put the word out on some local classifieds I could find one. For a hefty sum.

Three come to mind. First is a number 1v 25-06 I had the opportunity at for $600 when I was 14 Second was another number 1v in 6mm Remington. The bidding went $50 above what I had on me and I had to let it go The third is a lgs grices was running a special browning a bolt micro hunter and one...

I have large fingers so I was worried about my thumb being able to fit under the scope for the hammer. But to my surprise it is quite accessible and my scope is mounted in low mounts to boot so it’s not a huge issue.

I shoot a high wall 6mm creedmoor. The hammer has a half cock notch and automatically cocks on opening, you have to manually let down the hammer. I am actually looking to add the same rifle you are to my collection, the highwall with a 28” barrel is not light but it’s not overly long either. I...
