    Just two rifles...what calibers? varmints to bears

    6MM Remington - 55 grain for your critters 90-105 grain for your deer. 30/06 or 300/338 RUM for everything else if you think you need a magnum. I really don't see the fascination with the 308. Its what the 223 should be. A hard hitting carbine to be used at no more than 300 yards on semi...

    Materials Question

    When evaluating components, anything you can attach to a firearm, scope rings, bases, mounts, rails, etc... you get the idea. These items are usually described as "aircraft grade aluminum or steel" they usually have some kind of number that represents some sort of level or standard it was...

    Barrel Makers

    After looking at a few sites and playing with the order forms I am looking at $300-$400 for a barrel. I don't think its possible to pinch pennies going through the various barrel makers. I think the quality will be going from better to best rather than crap to good. As far as using a 243 barrel...

    Barrel Makers

    I am looking for a cost effective barrel. There are a lot of makers out there but I am really just looking for best price. I have a Remington Model Seven chambered in 6MM Remington with an 18 inch tube. I would like to make it a 24 or 26 inch maybe even of the heavy varmint variety with as...

    Thanks for the reply, I will probably add some Bergers as well. A powder hunt may be in order as well.

    338 RUM Bullets

    My 338 RUM is built. I should say my stock XCR II has its brake and scope installed, at least its temp scope. I plan to write up a thorough review on it. Anyways, can I get an update on current 338 bullets appropriate for the RUM? I have purchased some Sierra 250 MK, Winchester 225 PowerPoint...

    770 is subpar for sure but the original topic was regarding the 700.

    Remington 700 Troll

    To be fair you can buy a Rem SPS in 700 for $550. The Long Range model with Heavy Varmint Barrel and B&C stock for $700. An XCR II or VTR for $750-$850 depending on caliber. Or an XCR or Sendero for over $1000. Just to be clear which flavor Ruger is OP comparing to which flavor Rem 700...

    Decision/Options

    I realize X brand vs Y brand is a bit cliche so Im just gonna throw my options with MY price up here and you tell me what you pick. The Leupolds are around $200 under retail (I know a guy). Both guns will be used for long range hole punchers and animal killers. Remington 700 Long Range 300 RUM...

    Little 6mm

    I have 3 rifles chambered in 6MM Remington. Personally I see no reason to go wildcat. IMO, outside of 30 caliber it is probably the best caliber for deer and small game and varmint critters around. 55 grain ballistic tips are awesome as are the 75 grain for bobcats and coyote type stuff. 90 95...
