    Sako 75 vs Sako 85 actions

    H4350, Nickel Plated Win Brass, Rem 9 1/2 M primers 225 Accubond. Seated about .010 off the lands which puts me over max COAL. RL16 was about 2900fps. Zero pressure signs for both. Drops are verified to 300 on the range and to 800 via a dead elk so I know it's not a misread with the chrono.

    Sako 75 vs Sako 85 actions

    I feel like I can answer this semi-intelligently for the 75 because I am going through some of this now with my 75 stainless (AV) in 338 win mag. Stock choices are not great. The factory synthetic is 42 Oz. Carries like a club. AG composites makes flat top stocks that can be inletted for the...

    Slow Model 700 7mm Rem Mag?

    I literally had the same gun with the same issue shooting the same bullets. I told myself I wanted to get around 3000fps but could never get there. About 2840fps with h1000 like the other guy showed in the post with the load data. Maybe i had unrealistic expectations too. Rl23 got about...

    Action fluting/scalloping/thinning

    I would call Karl directly. I also agree with the other posts. Going from an HS Precision stock to Manners saved most of my weight. I did the other stuff mostly because it looked great. I wonder if you could have Karl do custom inletting?

    Karl did this for me on a Remington 700 SSDBM Fluted barrel Fluted bolt Skeletonized bolt Cerakote Bedded Manners Stock First class work in my opinion and just awesome to deal with.

    Berger close range impact

    Just curious why there is so much discussion on neck shots? On a mature doe that's a lot of good grind going to waste. I would put one 6" further back behind the shoulders next time in this situation then reevaluate bullet performance.

    My son started shooting with a Remington Model 7 stainless with the 20" barrel in 243 at 7. No problems with recoil.

    SOLD/EXPIRED Swarovski Z5 3-18x44 BT 4W Reticle

    Previously I had a Remington 700 sendero for sale that was the other part of this package. That sold on GB. Originally I wanted this scope but just picked up a Zeiss HD5 and that works better for my eyes than the Swarovski does. So here is a mint condition Swarovski Z5 3.5-18 with the 4W...
