I will have to look into those too!! Man I have a lot of testing to do haha! And haha believe me sir, if I wasn't a 20 year old college guy paying for school, I would have gotten something such as that!! Poor college kid problems right?? I'm glad you love the rifle though!! I put the SWFA SS...

Awesome information!! I have looked into the triple shock. Let's say for elk in colorado, 1-10 twist, would you guys recommend a heavy gr or like stated earlier stay around the 165-168 gr? Thanks

Good to hear fellas! Thanks again, and good luck on y'alls hunts this year! Austin O'Donnell

Thanks fellas, keep it coming! I'm still learning all this stuff right now. I appreciate your help!! Right now I'm shooting 175 gr HPBT that shoot like a laser out of my rifle but I'm not sure on ballistics, and am looking for experienced hunters opinions with the .308 and expansion and such. I...

Hey guys, I decided to purchase a Remington 700 AAC-SD in .308. It has a 20" barrel with a 1 in 10 twist rate. I needed a rifle I could learn the basics of long range shooting on, but also needed a rifle which I could hunt elk and deer on. I decided that this rifle would be the best mix of the...

thanks to all for the advice and everything, means a lot!!!

I agree, I enjoy being able to comfortably shoot my firearms. I agree it's easily doable without flinching but takes work, I want to make sure that if I'll be taking an Elk at 500 yards plus there is less room for error, I've got enough to worry about with conditions and don't need to have...

Thanks fellas for everything! To the most recent posts I completely agree and understand that fully, I practice very much and wouldn't dare take a shot I know that is out of my range especially on an animal. I am a respectful hunter and this is why I'm trying to gather as much information as I...

Wow lots of different opinions ha, Im not a big guy, I'm average and 19, I can hit a clay at 650 yards 3-4 out of 5 shots. And elk are tough, Ive put a round through one rifht in the shouder and lungs and it ran 200+ yards. I want a clean dropper that reaches out. Keeping these in mind a couple...

I'm looking to by a 7mm remington mag, i have a .270 win. I want to move up because ill be taking longer shots on elk and i can push out to around 700 yards and want to maintain energy at that distance, that being the reason wanting to move to a 7mm rem mag. How is the recoil on the 7mm...

Thank you very much sir, that's sweet, it's nice to actually have a conversation with someone who knows what they are talking about. I asked somewhere else and just got people who've hunted squirrels or something and are trying to give advice on big game. So thanks a lot!

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for all that information!! Yesterday while looking around online I found a great 7mm rem mag and I know for long shots that will do the trick. I've only hunted elk once and I used a 7 mm mag and that was great, recoil wasn't bad either. So I'll...

Thank you very much. I probably wouldnt take a shot at 650 on an elk just because the loss of power. At Most would be around 450, mostly to avoid a runner and having to track it down. But yeah I just want to make sure that a 308 at anywhere from 75-450 yards will do it quick and clean on an elk.

Ok, so I'm planning on hunting Elk and white tail this year, I have a .270 win already but I'm wondering how a .308 win will match up, many of my shots are anywhere from 75 yards plus and I'm accurate up to around 650 yards or so. Now my question is, will a short heavy barrel thats not free...
