    Optics for your STW

    I put a Quigley-Ford QF520 on my Remington 700, 7mm STW, I had it custom built for 140gr bullet at 3300 fps. They build it to 1000 yards. This model is the First Focal Plane and the BDC works at any power from 5 to 20. This is a great scope for hunting purposes, no turrets to mess with, just...

    Rustic Furniture for trade

    I can also now throw in a HOG hunt in South Carolina and even a chance at big S.C. whitetails. These are wild hogs and wild whitetails, I've hunted all over the USA and there are no harder deer to hunt then the Southern Whitetail in the wooded areas of the South! It would be a great chance to...

    Scope or base/ring problem?

    Apparently it was a base/ring problem? I replaced the old leupold bases/rings with new leupold STD 2 piece bases and leupold rings. It is back shooting one hole groups at 100 yds.

    looks like rl25 is most popular powder?

    I drive tacks with 81grs IMR 7828, fed 215 primers, 140gr CT Ballistic Silvertips,,,tried shooting 140gr Berger VLD best group was 3 1/2" at 100yds. Did not try any other powder, figured shooting fingernail holes at 100 yds no reason to change.

    Scope or base/ring problem?

    I am shooting a Remington 700 7mmSTW. It is a DRILL! Fingernail groups at 100 yards, 2 3/8" at 500 yards. Now for my new problem. I missed a deer at about 70yards so I came home and shot it. It was shooting 8" low 3" left, ok so maybe I bumped it in 2 months of hard hunting. Well, I re-zeroed...

    7mm STW Game Pix

    Here is a small 9 pt that I killed this past year. It was late in the year and I'd not killed a deer with my 7STW. Seemed everytime I'd leave my STW at home and carry another rifle I'd score. So, as it was late in year and this was a minimum legal buck,I to took him. One shot and on ground...
