Thanks guys!

Also I'm no where near tied to any of these rifles. Should I save up and buy a C Christensen Mesa or Browning Hells Canyon?

As far as bullets go I was thinking thinking about the Accubond Long range. The A7 has a 1 in 9.5 twist so that should be able to stablize ether the 150 or 168 grain weights.

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a new hunting rifle. Looking at a few, Sauer 100, Sako A7 Roughtech, and the Tikka T3. All chambered in 7mm Rem. Mag. I would like to hunt out to 500 yards. The Sako is out in front at the moment, I think the stiffer stock would be better. I am not a fan of the...

Just messing around with different powder charges and bullet weights. I wound up using 140 gr. Accubonds with 42 gr. of IMR 4320. And I wound up using a Hicks accurizer and that made a world of difference, but I don't know how it will keep zero so that will be interesting to see. By the way...

Hey guys I know that it has been a while since I posted but I finally got my Ruger #1 to group 3/4" which is good enough for the type of hunting that I do. Just wanted to say say thank you to you guys that gave me advice.

Ok so a new development, I pulled the forend off the rifle and I found that the guy that had it before me had installed a Hicks accurizer on it. I have no idea how these things work so what should I do?

I'm shooting an 1A sporter. I was hoping that I could close the 1" gap but for hunting elk I guess it will be ok. my average shot is about 250 yards, but I just want the confidence that if i have to I can shoot 400, if I already have a hit animal.

Hey guys, i'm new to the forum and I had a few questians for some of you more experenced shooters. I bought a Ruger #1 chambered in 7x57 Mauser and I'm having some trouble working up a load for it. I just loaded up some 160 grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claws and the first batch shot .46" at 100...
