Weatherby vanguard or Tikka t3. Had good luck with those out of the box. Should have a little left over too.

Larue OBR is the last rifle I sold. Quite a few handguns recently though. Why?: I haven't got my life squared away since I got divorced a few months ago. Guns aren't the investment everybody says. When you need money NOW, you're going to take what you can get.

Thank you all for the kind words, perspective, interest and patience. I will be responding to all PMs, and requests for further info and pictures once I land at my place later this evening.

I need to get a lawyer for a divorce. Pretty bummed that these have to go but hopefully they will find good homes and I can start rebuilding my life after. This is a great community and I could really use some help right now. I'm out of town this weekend and don't remember every detail on all of...

I have used 175s in my 30-06 for years, and recently 168s in a 7 mag. Both work well. Keep them off too much heavy bone and animals drop half the time. The other half the time they go a ways, dead, but they'll make it 100 yards. This has all been on fat farmland blacktail deer.

Yo you guys hear that Badlands has a new 8mm super bulldozer? 8mm finally has a high BC option. Swampthing? has a post about it.

Just got to say that when I joined this site 12ish years ago. This kind of manipulative sneeky gotcha kind of thread would be very frowned upon. Its not why im here its not why many people are here. The E word isnt welcome here and this thread said everything except that to try to "find the men...

Murderers Creek first season.

I didn't have that many points. But I'm an OR resident. Im looking forward to some scouting trips and taking my 4 year old son out a bit before the season.

I drew my Oregon tag this year! Im taking my 30-06 with 175 Bergers or my 7 mag with 168 Bergers. And it isn't even a question. I don't care what one I take. The day will come and I will grab one and go. They are both in the same category right? Honestly a 400+ yard shot at an animal would need...

Go shoot the rifles you haven't shot, before you decide that you have a gap that needs filled. Learn from those before building another. Do you like light rifles?how long of a barrel is too long for you? Too short? How much recoil can you manage in a rifle of a certain weight? Having 3 rifles...

So far it's the 168 Berger HVLD. Still have a few hundred left too so I wont be switching any time soon.

Thats happened to me with a real hot load before. I found new data and the problem went away.

Holy cow old thread. Im still here but dont shoot my 350 much anymore. I was successful in forming 350 brass from 300 win. I loaded up 60 and shot half in the first year. Couple years later took it out and I couldnt get the bolt to close on that ammo. Colored a few with sharpie and found the...
