    Weatherby Mark V 257 WBY

    Hello Iron Worker, I could be interested in the .338-378 barrel if it is threaded for a brake. Bob

    Dumb idea with a Mark V

    Wait?!? A classic German Weatherby in 300Wby being modernized with all of this work and then a 300 WM “for simplicity”. Do you hear yourself on this one? Roy is rolling over in his grave…be kind!

    Best tent for 3 person caribou hunt

    Urethane bathtub floor is quite nice to have if you and your gear want to stay dry. I'd second the idea that you'll benefit from having twice as much tent as hunters.

    Best tent for 3 person caribou hunt

    AZHTR is correct that you can run into a snow storm and having a sturdy tent is a must! We need more information. Are you going to walk the five miles off the road to start rifle hunting or bow hunt from the Haul Road? How long are you hunting? What are your weight limits? What type of airplane...

    Light weight 308

    My wife’s caribou just fell to a .308 from a sub-six Montana on Friday. My strong advice is to search the thread “Montana Tinkering” on the 24hr Campfire IF it doesn’t already shoot well. This is a great deal and can be even lighter with the alloy trigger guard, titanium bolt handle, and Javelin...

    Best sheep/mountain gun for long range shooters

    Rich, No custom rifle required. No custom/wildcat cartridge/bullet/loading sequence/drop chart/spin drift/high-end scope required. No long-range shots required. Every guide in sheep country is going to try to get you to within 300yds and this is quite common with a bit of patience. Yah, I feel...

    X5i

    If you DO purchase the Swaro X5 do not worry about getting the zero stop and subzero settings correct. Spend a few minutes watching Richard Utting's video on YouTube for setting up your X5 scope and not breaking anything...should be required watching for most new owners. Especially the less...

    338-378 WBY Mag vs 338 Edge

    Hey OP, I have a 338-378 Wby converted to .338 Edge. I purchased a Dan Lilja barrel at 30". It was chambered and coated by Matt Cockrell at the recommendation of Dan Lilja himself. It is topped with the Near Alphamount scope base/ring combo. For glass I have the Swaro X5, 5-25x56. I bedded the...

    March or Swarovski

    I've been shooting a .338 Edge with the Swarovski X5 5-25x56. It tracks well, has good clarity, and has endured a heck of a lot of use this year. I've packed it, stacked it on other gear in the front of my boat and slung it over my shoulder while riding ten hour days on an ATV. The zero point...

    Alaska and Knees

    Werth338, If you have enough concern about the stability of your knees holding up to a goat hunt on wet, slippery terrain in an unforgiving part Alaska then you already have your answer... We can compare tough country, time of the year, lucky breaks in the weather, fitness, fatness, gear...
