    Fiftydriver & Others...recommend a coyote-deer setup, what cartridges?

    While I think your cartridges are great (esp. long range), I'd love your opinion on the 270AI, 6mm rem AI, 25-06AI etc. What velocity gains over the std. 270, 25-06 etc? Have you done a 270AI; what did you think about it...etc. 22-24" barrels. I'm concerned with saving the pelt of...

    Fiftydriver & Others...recommend a coyote-deer setup, what cartridges?

    Fiftydriver and others, What would you use for a long-range, varmint (coyote/some mixed varmints) to deer cartridge, if you already have a 270, 300 mag and other big game rifles? I'd prefer access to factory cartridges in a pinch and I'm thinking about: 6mm Remington AI or a 25-06 or...

    300 Dakota- FiftyDriver and others-

    Re: 300 Dakota- vs. 300 win mag vs 300 Weatherby con\'t... Well, I,ve come full circle again. I am now considering the plain jane 300 win. mag. for hunting. the above animals. Which .300 MAGNUM would you use or is there any slight advantage to any of them. Max ranges out to 600-700 yards for...

    What ACTION for a 7mm-338 LAPUA Imp. cartridge?

    Interesting- you're probably right and deep down I know you are it just sounds so mundane to choose an old reliable and accurate cartridge for loonngg range. How would a 300 win mag fend in this arena? I know that you are using one on elk- is it too much for 250lb deer? I was already going to...

    What ACTION for a 7mm-338 LAPUA Imp. cartridge?

    Ok, maybe got the bug for a 7-338 LAPUA. I need a Left Hand Stainless Steel action for the Lapua cartridge bolt face I got a local gunsmith telling me that the Stainless Steel Remington action can be used, but for about US $1200 I would be much better off using the Nesika Bay Precision...

    which scope

    Kick in some extra$$ and get a Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40- long eye relief, quality glass and lots of adjustment- lifetime guarantee and IMHO a much better choice than either of the other two options. I think I bought mine for only about $459USD.

    Best place to hunt for Mule Deer & Antelope?

    [ QUOTE ] ... If you wait until the end of the antelope season to kill a buck (beginning of November) you run an extremely high risk that many of the bucks will have shed their horns. This happened to some out of state friends of mine this year. I begged them not to come out that last part of...
