Hey everyone myself and neighbor began shooting rifles together last year. I grew up shooting but never really learned much aside from aim and shoot (not talking about hunters education type learning, I have that). With summer finally ending in southern NV we want to start shooting more but...

I didn't see it here yet but the Mystery Ranch Beartooth 80 seems like a good alternative to the metcalf if you want MR and larger than the metcalf.

I was definitely curious how rebarreling works and what the limitations are so thanks for the possible options. Ultimately I just can’t decide if it’s “worth it” to rebarrel, buy a new stock, etc or just purchase a $1000-$1500 factory rifle in a caliber I want over rebarreling to something...

Seems to be about right. Some folks have figured out Wednesday is the best day (here in vegas) to check retailers. So as soon as stock is in it’s also out.

Thank you much! She’s not too bad for being 15 years old

That definitely gives me a boost in confidence. Everywhere I’ve looked so far is sold out of reloading kits and every time I’ve been around sportsman’s I don’t know that I’ve ever seen new brass in any of the calibers that have been mentioned here so far. I’ve seen some factory ammo for all of...

Tons of great info from you all! I really appreciate it and I think it will help overall, especially the reloading tips and personal experiences. I went back to the store today and the same boxes of 280ai/280rem were still on the shelves asking to be bought but not for the price offered. For now...

Lol I didn't pay too much attention since I don't own the caliber, just noticed there were multiple boxes listed at that. With that said, I know they were Nosler and at Sportsman's Warehouse. I believe they were some I had been looking at for "good" elk rounds but don't quote me on that. I'm...

Here’s the .308 I currently have 59. It’s been cleaned up a little and definitely isn’t bad. Just has some wear and tear such as the pitting and probably some rust still lingering around too. And I’ll post another picture in the morning of the crack in the stock area.

Thanks for your input. I’m definitely not set on anything. Just kinda of eyeing things right now. I’m not opposed to staying in the .308 either. I do love the variety of ammo choices, typically.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

That's also a really good point. I just know in the current market in Nevada, I see decent amounts, for the current time, of 7mm RM and 280AI (3 SKUs 1-2 boxes each). You guys are all making good points and that makes it harder lol

I think you guys are pushing me to the 7mm RM. If recoil is that close Idk that it's worth it (at this time) to to go with a cartridge less readily available. Thanks for your input!

Shep, thank you for the information. Seems like when I decide to take that dive (hopefully soon-ish if I can find equipment for the right price) it will be very good to have this in my back pocket. I was actually looking at rcbs yesterday from one of the beginner or FAQ forums.

Oh wow, definitely sounds like an intense hobby but also like it can be a fun one lol although it would be a more casual thing for me right now. I've just recently decided to start shooting more often so I'm don't think I'm ready to dive head first into that just yet. Especially with not knowing...
