I picked up the BR4 this year. I’ve been blown away so far. My prior sig fell on it face in super cold especially when it was sunny. The BR4 gave me a return on an elk at 2948 hunting this year at 15 degrees. That’s impressive. With the BaseMap app you can create a waypoint at that location...

I’ve had experience with multiple Sauer 100 Atacama’s. Same gun, just factory cerakote and threaded barrel. Phenomenal guns for the money. Very comparable to tikka but IMO better trigger and better stock. The stock design for spotting your impacts is second to none in its class. I don’t think...

Looks like it’s been stated but another plus one for removing the expander ball in your die, fl sizing then using an expander mandrel. This fixed runout in all my rifles.

This guy knows what he’s talking about. Kifaru is the best but you’re ordering about 3 months to late. You won’t get it in time. I’d check with stone glacier, exo or seek outside and see who has one in stock. I’ve ran a Kuiu for years because I got a deal on it. Great day pack but horrible when...

My brother and I each have one now. Both shoot 156 Bergers well with RL-26. 5-shot groups sub 3/4 easy a lot right around .5”. Excellent trigger, for $800 can’t beat it with a stick.

For what it’s worth I think I would switch up my bullet selection. You can get 190 Berger long range hybrid targets right now online. Be a great bullet for the 28. I have a fierce fury in 7rm I had a hell of a time in the beginning with it. Tried ELDX, ELDM, ABLR lots of different combos, all...

I’m looking to get my daughters a pellet rifle to start shooting and learn the basics. They are 4 & 6. They have a savage rascal .22 lr but we don’t get to shoot that much since we live in a subdivision. Looking to get a pellet rifle that would fit a young kid well, possibly an adjustable stock...

So it’s probably been stated by someone else but the “magic” if you can say that of the creedmoor is the same as 6.5 PRC and 300 PRC. If you’re a guy that handloads and builds custom rifles then they give you no benifit over other cartridges IMO. The benefit of the creedmore and other modern...

Thanks for the reply. Interesting to hear a stock builder say what I was thinking. Don’t get me wrong I have no complaint about the pad as far as felt recoil but It seems like there is almost too much compression in the pad allowing more rifle move more during recoil than a harder traditional...

Interesting, do you have a photo of your rife?

See my post above on the Sauer 100 (made by JP Sauer), they are not as well known but do yourself a favor and at least look at one at the gun store prior to making a decision. No doubt you can't go wrong with the tikka or x-bolt like everyone is stating, but I think you get more for you $$$...

^^^ What this guy said. Sauer 100 rifles really don’t get the recognition they deserve. My brother purchased a Sauer 100 Atacam in 6.5 PRC. I would compare it to the X-Bolt or T3X Lite with a better stock and better trigger. Shoots 3/4” six shot groups no problem. Sportsman’s Warehouse has them...

No offense taken, I think I am. But I’ve never had formal training. I bought Jacob Bynum‘s rifles only Fundamentals training video. I also have listened to a lot of Caylen Wojcik’s content. So I think I have the basics, but could always get better. Having a stock that would allow me to get more...

I have issues between the 500-800 yd range. If I'm shooting 1000 or beyond the rifle usually recovers and I can spot my impact. As stated by others, a 7 rem mag pushing a 180 Berger over 2900 is not going to make this super easy. I shoot off of a Harris bipod with a rear bag. Right now I have...

I have a Fierce a Fury chambered in 7mm Rem Mag. It has a Limbsaver recoil pad. I’ve shot it with a brake as well as suppressed and I have issues spotting my shots. Question is, is the Limbsaver recoil pad partially to blame? Seems like having a butt pad that is squishy isn’t necessarily...
