Yes,I grumble alot!! But your cell phone won't do sqawt here and does it come with a range out to a mile from your front portch???

Don't slow it down for us old mountain top dwellers!! livin' between Hell's Canyon and the Salmon is worth the slow!!

Thanks,Benchracer!!I bought an A bolt medalian to build a 6.5-284 and changed my mind due the same thing!The thing that came as a suprise was that the the old tang safety M77 has a box that is 3.375",has an adjustable trigger and I have rebarreled it myself and will do it again.Gunsmiths don't...

Thanks,cold trigger finger for the input! Computer problems cause the levelwind to backlash(my mind)! My old tang safety M77 does alright with some of the long 30 cal stuff with a short jump! The 208gr amax w/ a .005 jump has room to spare in the box,as I recall.I'm looking at FMJ in 25 cal for...

If anyone was going to listen to someones opinion about wolf killin',it'd be the guy in Alaska I'd listen to!So,now I'd like to know if anyone up there, you've run into, has turn their old ruger m77,30-06 into a 6.5-06?The Creedmoor is great,but a barrel is a custom 6.5 wolf killer!Maybe!I was...

The platform for this round sound great,but,where would you find bullets for reloading for it?? I couldn't find one in .234.It's a Lapua bullet I take it??What weights and types are there?With 22-250 and .243/6mm all great rounds and readily available, it must have something special going for it.

Ahhh,your so right about all the guns,Jesse!!! If you haven't run into the TCR-83 or 87,you are lucky!It was a have to have!The rifle is between the T/C contender and their Encore.A compact european style single shot w/ a shotgun type action.Double set adjustable trigger.I have a contender...

Yes,Jesse,I feel your pain! An old Britt motorcycle racer told me when we watched the old men on old bikes race at Sears Point,"we pay for our fun later on"! As for your hunting in Oregon,Hells Canyon is in the way of a quick trip to that state.I'm in western Idaho,up the mountain between the...

well,Jesse,I geuss us old trapliners can't quit looking for another way to touch fur! I'm 63 and I put the few traps my brother had on my back when I was7 or 8.He was in a cast to his hip and on crutches and 10 yrs older then me. I've done a line for a few years at a time but have moved around...

Thanks! I just bought a T/C TCR-83 and a 7mm mag barrel for it.The 23" barrel is close enough to this data it gives me a place to start developement.I'll have the it rechambered and use Lanes specks for the throat and now I won't have to desturb my 300 RUM.I missed an action on a rechambered...

Thanks jesse,I was on the same page.I resently bought a T/C TCR-83 in 30-06 and a 7mm mag barrel.I found 120 gr V-max and 139 gr Gmx blems in 7mm and developed loads for both.I also bought a couple 100 boxes of SST's that are good all purpose for here.Your 6.5 creadmore is probably the best...

OK!!I can take no more!!! I bought a use(very lightly)REM 700 300 RUM SST customshop and had a local young smith snakeskin and custom brake the barrel and trim the bottom of the action to end a case scratching problem put a ruger M77 tang safety fallower in it to solve a feed problem and then I...

Idaho has had 2 seasons that I bought tags for and failed to make a clean kill on 2 wolves.That's not bragging,it's expressing why I'm asking about ammo.They are tough and i've passed on other oppertunities because I didn't trust the bullet to do the job without desroying the hide if I used the...

I resently picked up a TCR-83 in 30-06 & a NIB 7mm 1 in 9 twist barrel for it.It's small for backpack carry and a tack driver out to the end of my front porch range(640 yrds).So,is there a 7mm bullet that has the pop at 500+ yrds and is easy on fur,a point made by our AK member?I see posts that...

I like the plus's of a good many suggested choices and think that an auto loader would sure be nice at close(450yd or less)ranger. I shot the 1st one w/ an sks and nocked it down 3 times and never found it.The last one with a TC P.H. 25-06 w/ 120gn sierra game king sp's and 350yds soon turned...
