MachV, thank you. I think I had a better time than she did. Muledeer, I'm sure you checked the 2019 draw results and that may give you a good idea of getting a tag. I can't say yea or nay on a hunt choice. But it's the unit we're putting in for. Antelope tags Unit 68 type 1 500 tags up from 400...

Ok then. 10 shots. The shot in the red was the first and i moved up so i would have something to shoot at. 20 shots next i spose. The point I wanted to say is that even though it's 3 shots, the thing only cost $650. $4500 to cut that in half---not really worth it to me. I don't compete except...

If I won a lotto, I might want to get one or two of those custom rifles. I bought these 2 Rem M700's Long Range rifles from Cabela's. 2 for $1250. Jewell triggers and shortened stocks. They'll have to do for now.

Putting in last year, as an afterthought, i asked my wife if she wanted to apply too. So she says yeah but i said we're going to apply separately as i had 4 points and this being her first time she had one point bought. 8 of us put in--she's the only one to get drawn. What's so tough getting...

Hi. Just wanted to share my experience with a Rem 700 LR 300 RUM. Just an off the shelf Cabela's. Did a few mods to it like muzzle brake, Jewell trigger, shortened stock and added cheek rest. (You really need a cheek rest. And i agree to get that scope lowered.) No bedding cause it shoots pretty...

i have the same set up that you have. it's one of the first generation Senderos with a .930 diameter barrel at the muzzle. i had a tall set of leupold Mark 4 rings but they seemed too high so i got a set of medium ones. Leupold part number 61049 and they work fine. Don't forget you need 30mm rings.

i have a Sendero 300RUM that came with the J-Lock. never had any issues with it but have heard of guys that have. i replaced it with the original style from Holland's gunsmithing and it is easy enough to swap out. Now i don't have to worry about something going wrong with it. PM me if you have...

it's a safety feature that uses a plastic "J" shaped key to lock out the firing pin. it's part of the bolt shroud. i was told that sometimes they lock up so i just ordered the old style bolt shroud from Holland gunsmithing . i have a sendero also in 300 RUM and changed the shroud out. i am very...

From all i've read i would love to use some 210 gr VLD bullets in my 300 RUM. but i understand they need to be seated very close to the lands. as you know the RUM has lots of freebore and i am hesitant to buy a box and not have the accuracy by seating to factory length, i have read the article...

i'm looking to buy a spotting scope. anyone have any feedback on a Pentax PF80ED 20x60? also would a straight or angled eyepiece be preferable? i know they ain't cheap but i caught my wife in a good mood and have worked a few hours overtime. thanks ....

I just shot my 300 RUM Sendero for the first time today. It has a Defensive Edge brake on it. (the one inch). It shoots the same as my 6mm Remington if not lighter. Even my buddy commented on how little the rifle recoiled. It did not jump up. The blast to the side was not that bad either. The...

thanks for the info... i just bore sight to get me on the paper....

i need some help on setting the turrets to zero. i bore sighted it at 100 yds. . Now when i set the elevation turret to zero it is 2 marks off. i loosened the turret but it won't go down anymore. so i'm already on the 2nd mark and i can't get it (the mark on the turret) to zero. what am i doing...

just wondering how much freebore you have. if you are .010" from lands what is your overall length?

just got a Mark 4 LRT 4.5x14 with illuminated TMR for 1099 at federal way discount guns in federal way WA. there sould be a gun shop around you that can give you a similar cash discount.
