    Rifle for 10 year old.

    Best thing I ever did was set up my AR for my daughter to shoot. Collapsible stock and 64g XP bullets and it’s deadly!! Works awesome for kids cause the stock can adjust to any size they are.

    I'm Done with a Bipod on My Hunting Gun

    BOG death grip is where it's at. Lets you shoot standing, sitting, kneeling or prone. Can't beat that thing.

    Aftermarket Brakes

    I’ve been kicking around the idea of adding a brake to my Browning 7mm A bolt. Are they worth adding? Are there any suggestions on a brake to add to the stainless A bolt? Looking for suggestions and pictures.

    25-06 suggestions

    I'm leaning toward the American Whitetail 117 interlock btsp's. I don't know a lot about that hornady line of ammo, but I do love the btsp's. Looks like they're a little slower than others I've seen, but should be ok for shooting deer for her. Has anyone shot the American Whitetail line or...

    25-06 suggestions

    I've heard lots of stories that 25-06's didn't really like the SST's. Not sure but I've read that a few places. I've run interlock btsp's in my 7mm mag and absolutely love them.

    25-06 suggestions

    I have a tikka 25-06 that I've acquired recently. I don't know a lot about them but hoping to gain a little info and some suggestions. This one is going to be for the wife to shoot. She does a little deer hunting every now and then, and wanted something that wasn't going to be too rough on...

    223 for Deer

    I'm shooting it out of the 700 SPS Tac which has a twist of 1:9. If I understand correctly, that's a slower twist than a 1:8. I've been looking at the TTSX but anything over 55gr recommends a 1:8 or faster. I guess I would need to stick with the 55gr TTSX, correct?

    223 for Deer

    What about a smaller bullet like the 50gr v-max? Yeah not planning on taking shots like with my 7mm but every now and then I like something different.

    223 for Deer

    Can you use a 223 for deer? I have a 7mm RM that I hunt deer with all the time, but recently picked up a 700SPS-P in 223. I love the way the gun feels, and have thought about taking it with me sometimes when I deer hunt. I know people in Texas use them a lot, but trying to find out about a...

    Ruger M-77 Mark II

    Currently I own a Ruger MKII All weather stainless 30-06, and a Remington 700 SPS in a 7mm RM. I'll say I picked up the 7mm from a guy who needed some money, but before that I had hunted with my Ruger for years and loved it. It's killed many many whitetails, and only once has one not dropped...

    Anybody shooting Brownings?

    I've been looking to get a Sendero either this year or next, and got to reading all about Remington's problems with the 700s firing for no reason. It seems the x-mark trigger is helping this a lot, but the 700 7mm that I have that is a couple of years old doesn't have the x-mark trigger...
