Remington 700 action -$350 or you can buy a used gun for 500ish and sell the barrel and stock. Bell and Carlson stock- $270. Great value for the money. Same stock as Wby accumark. Premium barrel-400 Action trued, barrel chambered, fit , crowned etc by gunsmith for several hundred. That puts...

What do y'all think? Hunting Rifle out to 500, might try to get into a little 1000 yard shooting at the range though just for fun and practice 308 Norma Magnum Remington 700 Mag Action Blueprinted and Trued -2lbs 7 oz Trigger Tech or Timney Trigger Bell and Carlson Weatherby Style...

Looking for guide reccomendations. Thinking about trying to get a combo hunt together this fall. Looking at eastern wyoming, as I can be there in 14 hours from Texas, and it seems like the draws are 100%. Western NE or SD would be Ok too, but i have no idea on what the draw situation is like...

Good stuff here. Over the past month I've gone from 30 Nosler to WM to Norma back to WM to Norma again. I've seen data which shows the WM beats the Norma, seen data that says the Norma at the minimum holds its own and does better with 200+ weight bullets, and according the 308 Norma guys here...

308 Norma Mag. If I'm not mistaken the 300 Norma Mag won't fit on a standard mag bolt face.

Down to 300 WM, 308 Norma, or 30 Nosler, and probably leaning away from the Nosler. Can the 308 Norma really beat the Win Mags performance with 200 grain and up bullets due to the longer neck. How does performance fair with the 180 grain.

I appreciate y'alls recommendations. We will do some calling soon. Hopefully it isn't too late to get a hunt for this fall, but I won't be able to get my schedule set up for atleast a couple of more months so it may have to be 2018. If anyone else has any, feel free to share!

You are really talking different rifle builds when comparing 270 WSM to 270 Wby and 7mm RM. The 270 Wby and 7mm RM are excellent performers as far as energy and trajectory, but are Long Action Magnum rifles, compared to the 270 WSM which can be built on the Remington Model 7 action. Remington...

My dad and I are looking for a guided elk hunt, preferably in 2017 if it isn't too late. We are looking for an established outfitter with an excellent reputation. We are looking for a hunt on private land, with guarenteed/landowner tags. NM would be ideal but other states are ok. Looking for...

Thank you for the thread reference. I hadn't come across that particular one during my googling. Any problems stablizing light bullets with those faster twists. I ask because with our .220 Swifts and .243, which we deer hunt with almost exculsively, we have had trouble getting lighter (50...

If I was going to build an H&H it would have to have Exibition grade Curly Maple with Ebony Caps for the stock, a high luster blued barrel, and an FN Mauser action. Would be a real classic. Would probably lean towards a .375 though if I was going to pull the trigger on that. I'm interested to...

Hey guys, first post here. I recently ordered and Remington LA Mag action (#27557) with the intentions of having my smith build a 30 caliber magnum over the next 6 months to a year. It is the standard magnum action not the ultra mag action. I've been going through trying to weigh the pros and...
