I have to jump in and no offense intended to anyone. :D My hat is off to this thread and some talking common sense. The whole purpose with hunting is to go out and have fun (period). I would luv to know the validity behind the statement that one has to spend 1.5 or 2 or 3 times the cost of...

Hi Eric, No problem of asking questions. Actually after coming back and reading this, it might appear that I am slamming this product. Everyone should please discern, that is not my intention. I mentioned "(We know the bullet shoots and is very accurate)". This bullet is not"just accurate" but...

Okay, I am going to make this failry short. I have absolutely no take for either side but: This years fall big game season using the following: 1. Custom gunsmith built long range 300 Win mag with a nightforce scope 2. Custom reloads using the 210 gr Match Grade VLD Hunting bullet; FPS is...

"Check out the Muscle brake at Centershotrifles.com I have one on my 338 Ultra mag and it kicks like a 308, makes it really fun to shoot." I did two years ago. My 338WinMag has the recoil of a 308 as well. I am very happy with my muscle brake. :D

Can someone offer and explain a thing or two. Going to be carrying my Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag 7.5" barrel with me on my Colorado Big Game Hunting this fall. 1. Anyone suggest whether I should carry it with a chest holster or a hip holster. 2. I don't want to spend much over $100.00, but would...

Hi J E Custom, I definitely heard your statement and took into deep consideration regarding the stock possib ly breaking. I mentioned that I will take a few gambles using it with the weights on occasion only. Otherwise your discernment and suggestion of just using the Sled naked is a good...

No problem here. Please keep assisting with your comments. People might underestimate their useful comments. Yours are great! Thanks again Steve

Hi All, "Why own a rifle your afraid to shoot with out a weighted sled" I saw this statement and sincerely without trying to start an arguement I do think I might have a few valid thoughts on this. :):) I am one of those in a group of people what I think is the "minority" that does not get...

Hi All, Literally "Everyone's" comments have been great and beneficial. Thank you all very much. After seeing some comments regarding the use of weights and possible stock damage, I went onto the manufacturer's site and reviewed FAQs. The specific concern regarding stock damage and using...

Thanks for that last post. Well I went out to see what I could afford for reloading. :( I will have to look at perhaps a Lee Kit but then not sure what I have to buy after the initial purchase. What I cannot afford is the $700.00 kits from other companies though. thanks Steve

Thank you ! Looking into the purchases right now. Steve

Is anyone reloading 338 Win Mag with either BTSX or NAB? I purchased a new 338 Win Mag a month ago. After waiting around trying to purchase Federal's Fusion 225 at a decent price but never finding it for a decent price I have really given thought to reloading and using either BTSX or NAB (Elk...

Hi All, Okay first, let me get down on my knees and accept the 30+ lashes for trying to cheap out on a big game hunting scope. I was told "definitely" that the Pentax Gameseeker 3x9 50mm was a great scope equal to many more expensive ones for $99.00. yup yeah I know... i bought it. Went...

Super and good thought though dont know too many suba divers in Colorado Springs. If not, I have already thought about flattening one rolled lip and attaching 2 lite L brackets at a slight horizontal angle to extend the back so that the weights have something to hold them in place. I will post...

Hi Conn338RUM Thanks. I will look for your answer tonight. My 25 lb weights are about 12.5 inches. This might be close. I should receive my sled either tomorrow or the next day. If it is only that little of a difference, I might be able to flatten one of the curved sides and rebend...
