I went through the same decision making process a couple years ago and went semi-custom first and then ended up going custom from Wolf Precision in PA. The semi-custom rifle shot well but the custom outshoots it hands down. The custom will take quality factory ammo and is under 1 MOA all day...
I cannot find 4350 in my area either and I am wondering if anyone has tried IMR 4064 or 4895? My preference would be 4350 but I have the others here. Thoughts?
Thanks
Maven RS3 or Zeiss conquest V6. Both have very good glass and track well. I have both and actually dropped the rifle on the Maven and it held zero and no tracking problems after. Maven has more of a long distance reticle and if first focal plane. Zeiss is simpler reticle and second focal plane...
I am looking at the Maven RS3 5-30x50 scope for a 7mm rem mag that I use for hunting and long range shooting. I have a Vortex 6-24X50 HSLR on my 308 and that works well and is light enough that I can still carry the rifle around while out hunting. I have also looked at the Vortex Razor HD AMG...
I have the SX3, a Baretta A400 Xtreme, and the Beneli Super Vinci. Love the Baretta but that might be slightly out of the price range. I got mine on sale for $1100. It shoulders well after adjusting the stock and is easier on the shoulder than the Benelli. The SX3 shoots well but doesnt top the...
Like what others have said, I clean when accuracy starts to drop off, if I have been in harsh conditions or when changing loads. One thing I would suggest is good one piece rods and a guide. Also, if doing carbon and copper fouling make sure you are not mixing those solvents. Dry completely...
I have a B-14 Hunter is 7mm Rem mag and it shoots sub MOA. Took me a bit to dial in the right load but it’s great now. Bergara guarantees is and they are a great company from a customer service standpoint. It’s light enough for a mountain rifle. I looked around quite a bit and at Remington and...
I have shot Baretta Xtrema, Benelli Super Vinci, Remington Versamax and the Benelli SBE. They all shoot great but the Xtrema has the least punch of them all. It is still a good kick but it is softened a bit more than the others. I got the gun for my daughter but she didn't shoot it much and...
You might want to look at the Bergara B-14 series. Inexpensive and accurate out of the box. The trigger is around 3 pounds as well. I picked up a B-14 hunter in 7 mm Rem mag and it outshoits my model 70 easily. I think it’s a good rifle for the money.
