I did a pile of research to replace my worn out mtn boots and tried the Kenetrek, but they did not fit my foot - too narrow here, to wide there. For the premium price, they also lack a true Goretex Liner and Vibram soles, both key features that the Meindl Alaska Hunters have, for less $$. But...

93-93.8 gr RL25 and Fed 215M under 180 Accubonds has been very, very good in both my 300 RUM Sendero and SPS.

308 Winchester M70 or M700 or M98, 24" barrel with detachable magazine. I do not see much I could not hunt in the world with this rifle and the right bullet.

Looks well thought out and great choice in 7mm08. Very curious to hear how that she shoots. I want one!

I am confident in the accuracy of my neasurements - I geared up with all the right tools to try and figure this problem out. Plus, the brass is not showing the ring that would suggest a headspace problem. The reamer specs show the neck diameter at the throat to be .373" - whether that is...

I had a custom 338 Lapua built in 2009. I am having ongoing problems with sticky bolt and difficult extraction, even with mellow loads of 87.0 grains of RL 25 and 87.8 H1000 under 300 SMKs (seated -0.040" from lands) that go around 2700 fps out of my 28.5" barrel. From my research, this is by no...

What scope would he be using that has 165 MOA elevation adjustment ? Do they even exist ?

The Cooper 6.5-284 has a 1:9 twist which may be too slow for 130 and 140 VLD bullets. Berger recommends 1:8.

I asked Eric Stecker himself about this on another forum. Q: Any indications what the suitable twist rate will be for the .338's ? A: Bryan [Litz] designed all the 338 cal bullets to be stable in the more common 10" twist. Regards, Eric

Click on the link below - that thread pretty much covers it. Definitely worth a read through all of it. http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/best-west-really-best-47550/

That laminated stock is a very comfortable and looks good IMO, and it should be very stable. I would definitely wring it out before considering a swap.

If I was to have only 2, it would be a .308 Win and 300 RUM (although my 338 Lapua also makes alot of sense). The gun I shoot long range with the most, by far, is my Rem700 .308. I have it bedded into B&C Light tactical, and shooting out to 700 yards is pretty easy. Today, I would pick up a...

Spectacular. This ibex hunt is at the very top of my list right now.

I hunted free range Aoudad this past fall and took a beauty 31" ram. We certainly hiked a fair bit, so having a 'handy' rifle was a consideration. I used a 300 Win Mag A-bolt with a Leupie 3-9x40 (guides rifle) to make a reasonable 350 yard cross canyon shot. The terrain they live in provides...

The new Model 11/111 Long Range Hunter will be available in 6.5 x 284, 300 Win Mag, 25-06, 7mm Rem Mag, 300 WSM and 308 Win. Look for shipments to begin in January. It is listed in the 2010 catalog http://savagearms.com/tempmedia/doc/2010_SavageCatalog_Final.pdf
