My routine starts with 30 min of hills on the treadmill on the hardest setting, then the stair climber for 15 min again on the hardest setting. Then weight training focusing one day a week on each major muscle group. Legs, chest, core, arms, and shoulders. Also I live near the mountains and...

I've got a REM 700 24" factory barrell, Choate varmint stock, 6x20 Vortex Viper, and a really lighten trigger. I'm working up a load with H4350, 180 grn accubonds. Anybody have any experience with H4350 vs IMR4350? I use them one antelope, deer, and elk in varying conditions from mid 70's down...

I have been using a MTM rest for several years but when I upgrade my stock to a Choate ultimate varmint stock I have found that it doesn't fit very well unless I put a 2x4 under the front end. Not very stable. What brands and models of bench rests are you guys using that might fit my new stock...

Welcome! I had the same problem when I first got married 7 yrs ago. She knew I hunted but was comfortable being around guns. Now I take my 4 and 6 year old daughters hunting with me and they are both learning to shoot a small 22. My wife knows that I observe safety above all else and that makes...

I'd agree with liltank about the scopes. I love my vortex viper. And a thought on the stocks I picked up a choate ultimate varmint stock. It's a bit heavy but your son in a strong young man and should have no trouble with it. Also it has multiple adjustments to give a custom fit. I'm 6ft and 185...

While I don't have the hardscarbbles I do have the mountain extremes and I tried where them in the evenings walking up and down the stairs trying to break them in for about 2 weeks. It didn't work well, opening day of rifle season I put 12 or so miles on them and my heels were raw. But after...

Welcome. Can't say much on the accustock but the accutrigger on my savage 17 HMR is awesome! 7mm is a great choice I have a 7mm wby mag that groups 175 grn Nosler Partions about .5 in at 100 yds. Good luck to you.

Welcome to LRH! I am newish also but have learned a ton already that I'm starting to be able to put into practice. Have fun.

Welcome! Visit often, the more your here the more you learn. And the more you'll want to spend

I got lucky with my latest factory rifle. a Mossberg Maverick in .243 Win and a Nikon 3x9x40 Prostaff. 1/2 moa groups out to 300 yds(haven't had the chance to shoot further yet due to yotes calling my name) with 75 grn V-Max handloads. Finding the right bullet/powder/shell/etc combo for your gun...

Will the ultimate sniper stock accept a regular sporter barrell or do you have to have a bull barrell?

I have been considering a Bell and Carlson thumbhole stock but also looked at a Ross featherwieght thumbhole and a Tundra delux thumbhole. Both of the latters are a good deal cheaper and don't have bedding blocks and are laminate instead of composite. If I got one of the cheaper stocks and had...

My money is on the accubonds. Partions are great bullets but the accubonds seem to fly a little better at distance than the partions. Both are very hard hitting and accurate out of the right rifle and with the right amount of powder behind them. I load Hornadys also but no experience with...

After my buddy and I tagged out on deer this year on our annual hunting trip we took the land owner's son out to try to fill his tag. We go and check a canyon no deer but a large male yote doing mach 5 away from us. My buddy throws up his 338 custom wildcat and hits him with a 225 grain accubond...

Thanks guys. I will have to check out that shoot this summer. By then I should have the new stock, trigger, and scope on my remmy and should have time to get a good accurate load worked up and practice with it. And I will definetly take any advice and help I can get! I also am going to be...
