    All around bipod

    Harris works fine, just don't like the open spring concept. For roughly $100, it's hard to beat the Magpul.

    Bino Recommendation

    Agree with ratrod54 and a couple others above on the recommendation of Maven optics. They have a 10x42 bino right in line with your target price. Recently got a chance to check the Maven optics line at the Denver Sportsman Expo - very nice glass.

    Trigger recommendations

    TT Diamond - simple to install and adjust pull. Wish they would build this trigger for Savage 110.

    Factory Lightweight rifles for western hunting.

    Good scope for light weight hunting rifle (under $1000)

    Recently purchased the Zeiss Conquest V4 6-24x50 for daughter's rifle. Very nice scope. Can find it for less than $800.

    25-06…. Barnes 100gr TTSX Vs Hornady 110gr ELD-X

    As mentioned above, pick the bullet your rifle shoots the best. I have the 25-06 and the 257 Wby - have found the 25's to be picky on which bullet it likes best. Have shot both bullets, but for me pesonally, prefer the 110 ELD-X. Have had great luck with these on antelope hunts in WY and CO...

    Prairie Dog Rifle Question…

    As long as the wind is not too bad, the 17 hornet pushing a 15 or 20 grain bullet is pretty devastating out to 300 yds.

    ELF Tactical 110 Trigger

    Wow, much appreciate the quick reply - will certainly rule that trigger out, thanks!

    ELF Tactical 110 Trigger

    Looking for some thoughts on this ELF trigger for a Savage 110 as well. Currently have the Rifle Basix SAV-2 on it, and not real happy with this trigger.

    Most accurate non custom

    Check out the Savage 110 Ultralite - equipped with a Proof Research carbon wrapped barrel .

    7 Rem mag vs 7mm PRC

    I have a 7RM and love it. It will shoot the 100-115 gr bullets in one hole groups all day long, and is just devastating on Pronghorn or deer. Problem is, it is a 1-10 twist and just won't group the heavier bullets. When the 7PRC came out, felt like I had to have one - something that will push a...

    UPS has officially stopped shipping guns?

    Just shipped a rifle back to Savage last week. It was identified as a firearm on the form on told to the tech at the counter - no problem. This was from a UPS Customer Center. The UPS Stores would not ship. I'm in Colorado.

    Which 10x42’s?

    I've had both Zeiss and Leica, both very comparable and both great binoculars. I've now bought my last pair of binoculars in the Swarovski EL 10x42 - awesome glass, a step above the Zeiss and Leica in my opinion.

    Problem with new factory 7prc ammo

    2 boxes of 180 ELDM from Lot 3224318 - no issues. Haven't found the 175, at a sensible price.

    Favourite .257 weatherby projectile

    Have tried several different bullets/manufactures through my 257 wby (1:7 twist). Berger 115 VLD groups nicely, as well as the Hornady 110 ELDX. Currently working on load development for the Berger 133 ELite Hunter bullet - and liking it so far. Have tried a number of the Nosler bullets as well...
