Having been down the UL Rifle road quite a few times, I've settled on a scoped rifle weight of 7-7.5 pounds in most non magnum calibers and 8.5 pounds in magnums. I go heavier if there is real chance of shots over 650 in windy conditions. However I can get my rifles bomb proof with excellent...

I own quite a few rifles and calibers capable of what you’re looking for and they are all shooters. 6.8WST, 7PRC, 300WM, 340WBY. This year so far I’ve been training with my 6.8WST a lot and that will more than likely be my LR Elk gun of choice for this season. 90% of the time however I carry my...

If you're loading, you can develop different loads with different bullets for different tasks with the one rifle. Even have a couple of scope and stock options. I like Spuhr one piece mounts for that reason too. I can change scopes on rifles super easy if wanted and they are bomb proof. Nosler...

I I get 2670 from my 22” so I guess it could get there.

I love the 6ARC but so don’t feel it will get you to 400 with the velocities out of a 16” barrel. 6CM might.

I have a Spartan and adapters for my rifles, tripods and binos, spotter etc. Great system and I’m not a fan of bipods generally. I did shoot my Antelope at 500yds this year with it so it’s stable enough for sure. I also have the Wiser Quick stix system on my trekking poles and the Arca adapter...

What OD diameter did you order from SRS? I am considering one myself.

I have both. I also have both in the Tremor3. I would not recommend either with that reticle if you intend to use at low power much. I love the 4-32x50 NX8 with MOAR reticle the most even though I will probaby use 32x mostly on the range. I have that scope both in FFP and SFP. It's basically...

I have the 6.5-300wby factory rifle in a MKV Backcountry 2.0 Ti. It’s a laser bolt and hits hard. I had a Vanguard in 6.5-300 that shot fantastic as well, I just wanted lighter. I too am not worried about barrel life as it is a hunting rifle only. I did rebarrel a 340wby with a 340wby Carbon Six...

I don’t know where you hunt but When you’re talking ‘half minute of hunting’…. You’re good. I’m sure as a hunter you wouldn’t plan on taking that 700 yd shot without a perfect rest and you’ve had time to look at your dope, set up etc. make a note on your dope chart, Zero for cold bore and call...

I have been using GeoBallistics for more than a year now and it’s become my main app. I do use Horus and Ballistics AE but GeoBallistics is the most accurate I’ve found and easiest to navigate.

Silverlake Preserve is excellent and is a very professional setup. Also, there’s a lodge with cooked steak dinner and breakfast if you want to stay the night. Quail, Hog, Alligator, Turkey, Pheasant tower shoots. Surrounded by Orange Groves so the hog are FAT and super sweet eating...

There’s a fantastic episode of the Hornady podcasts with Jeff Siewert (spelling could be wrong) that talks about this and many other items. Barrel specific. He is one of the worlds foremost barrel testers and examiners for the military. With your point in particular, I remember there being...

I worked ‘down’ a load for my wife’s 25-06 and it’s one of the most accurate rifles in the safe. She has a bad shoulder injury and needed a lighter recoiling rifle than her 7-08. 100gr Ballistic Tip over IMR4831 at 3017fps .010 off gives about .2MOA results consistently. Sweet little load to...
