I've read the X7 and the Remington 783 have some compatibility between them. You might investigate that further, I see 783 prefits are available.

For what it is worth, I see loaded 270, 7, and 300 WSM on store shelves far more often than SAUM. I bought Winchester silvertip for 29 a box at the height of pandemic panic, and saw more 300WSM than 308 in some stores at that time as well- and NO SAUM, not even a space for it. To the best of my...

You might contact a member here, Wild Rose (I *think*), he is the only guy I recall posting about them much. They do look like great bullets, I tried buying some years ago and gave up.

We looked at a few minivans 3 years ago. I REALLY wanted to like the Sienna. The space, relative fuel economy, carseat access, and better utility for anything that my truck would not really be a better vehicle for than an SUV. They just make a lot of sense, and I don't care about aesthetics...

Mine is most generally a Model 7: 16" 308, laminated stock, with PTG DBM and a 10 round magazine. The barrel is threaded, but I have never found the recoil of a 308 to be bothersome. The scope is a Vortex 2.5-10x24. I think the weight all together is about 8 pounds, that laminated stock is...

I'm too jaded these days to even believe family death excuses. When a guy drags something out for years, of course there will be deaths in ones life. I have a commercial tenant right now that claimed he was grieving and didn't have money to pay his rent because he was burying his father...

3 years, what a dirtbag. Not even a gunsmith, more of a slow-motion thief at that point.

I've been there as well. Calling the Sheriff and letting the guy know I'd done so was the only thing that got a response and my complete set of components, after 3 months of no response, following the first month of delays with communication maintained. Threats to call the Sheriff didn't work.

Shooters and ballistic analysts compare the comprehensive performance of any one particular manufacturer's different grain bullets within the same product line for a given rifle as a matter of course, to say nothing of comparisons between separate manufacturers equivalent construction bullets...

The Hill People Gear chest packs are perfect for this I've found that while they do not have room for binos in the pack, it is perfectly comfortable and convenient to tuck the binos (i have a pair of 10x Leupolds) between the chest strap and body right above the pack on my left side (I shoot...

This little thingy fits in a messenger bag: 8" 300blk with a forward loundener Edit: something to consider with stamped SBRs: I recall necessary pre-trip notification and approval to ATF before crossing state lines with it. Something to make sure of, at least.

An 18" Tavor SAR in 5.56 gets the nod, lately Pigs in volume require semi auto and large mags Also, I really enjoy this rifle lately. The 10rd mags add a bit of capability over the bdl configuration 16" Model 7 .308Win, , 2.5-10 scope

Gotcha I've always wanted a Hodges Custom Hauler SUV and ATV on truck bed, bumper pull a camper trailer? http://www.hodgescustomhaulers.com/quotes_haul_and_tow.html

What about a couple dirtbikes or electric bikes in place of the 4Wheeler or SxS? Something I've seen done (and that you mention in your first post) is the truck camper put on a gooseneck flatbed trailer. You'd get more ground clearance and as much payload as you could wish for, as well as...

3350 in a 27" 7mmWSM is where I backed off due to flattened primers I recall, down to 3300 R22 Can't recall charge weight... I can pull my notes if it would be helpful at all. I seem to remember 66 or so? Mostly just posted to indicate that yeah, that is slow.
