Sorry for the Rule 4 Violation, momentary loss of consciousness. I was intending to describe a pain inflicting kicking mule, didn't even think of the other one. No offence intended.

Hope it's a shooter! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have been using the Nosler 120 BT's for deer and they have all been DRT. My model 7 group's under an inch any day with my handloads. Haven't tried the Speer 110's but I'll grab a box and work up a load. I'm not recoil sensitive but softer recoil will facilitate...

I have a Remington Model 7 I worked up with a custom stock as my ideal whitetail companion since I retired my old faithful .308 600 Mohawk some years ago. I have taken over 40 deer with it, it's no burden to carry and easy to maneuver in the Eastern deer woods. I have been toying with the idea...

Thanks for the reply guys. Considering your responses this appears to be the rifle I'm looking for. It will be primarily a varmint rifle but with the 90 Ballistic tip or 95 Berger VLD it may double for Deer although I have a 7-08 I bought and restocked with a Brown Precision a few years ago...

Thank you for a thorough well researched and timely reply. I am a handloader of many years. I have considered the Savage Model 111 LR Hunter in 6.5-284 but in a perfect world it would posess a 28 inch barrel, and I fear the adjustable comb knobs will forever get in the way. I suppose the latter...

Well written, informative article. It addresses all the questions challenging me. One issue is rifle weight. I take it from the inference to the F/TR that this is the model you selected for your build. It appers so from the photos. My only concern there is heft for any real "field" use. Great...

Hello from the Shenandoah Valley and thanks for a great and addicting forum. Please pardon the FauxPas but I posted an entry on this introduction page requesting help on a rifle build not knowing where or how to post it more appropriately. I'm new to forums. I am an upper middle aged (read...

I am new to the forum and appreciate many jewels of wisdom I've read already from many. I am an experienced hunter of over 40 years in the field having self built my last light rifle on a Rem Mod 7 Stainless 7mm-08 with Brown Precision Stock. All steel Cryo treated for stress relief. Shoots...
