About 5 years ago I went down this road, researching all the components and talking with custom builders. I ended up selecting a Mesa Precision rifle, now known as Pure Precision. Their ti action, self made carbon fiber stocks with a perfect geometry for recoil management and fit for my frame...

We’ve used advances in machining capabilities to tune our custom rifles to extremely tight tolerances. In so doing, we’ve gotten very precise weapons. But, in that system carbon rings can create loss of precision and or consistency that wouldn’t have been noticeable in older factory rifles...

Put an earplug in the end of your barrel. Fill the barrel with C4. It only takes a couple ounces. Let soak overnight. Empty, then brush/clean. I reuse the c4 to soak muzzle brakes. That stuff works.

My brother has a Win model 70 made in the mid/late 1970s with a standard barrel. It probably has less than 100 rounds through it because it is punishing to shoot it. It has been a good elk gun, and he'd like to put a brake on it and shoot it more to develop proficiency at longer ranges. The...

Just returned from an ibex hunt there yesterday. Took my rifle. I did use Travelwithguns.com for assistance on flights, and they will inform you what permits you need and what the process is, but then it's up to you to complete the process with the Spanish Consulate that has jurisdiction in...

Great shot, and nice old bull! I took mine at 425 yards this year after a 45 minute stalk. If I had your set up and skill, I literally could have shot the same bull from my porch.

JP Rifles probably makes among the most accurate gas guns available, and will customize orders. They also own and operate the Blue Steel Ranch where you can get great instruction in how to shoot gas carbines and rifles long range. I have a 223 upper from them and a 308 complete rifle which are...

These look great! Antelope is underappreciated. My brother and I each took an antelope last season in eastern CO. I took the backstraps and loins home right away and cooked them over the next week. They were excellent simply pan seared and oven finished, regardless what we cooked them with...

this issue was fixed a couple years back with the javelin "pro hunt bipod". This version locks open and has a spring loaded lever to quickly collapse it for storage. I've hunted with them now for several years - bought the original then upgraded to the pro hunt. I also have the sentinel...

Also a resident. And not against wolves - they are natural and are returning in northern regions already anyway. However, your comment "our voters’ decision to mandate a scientific approach to wolves" is not correct. The voters' decision was to mandate the reintroduction of wolves. A...

One more vote for the 6 creed. I used a 6.5 creed for a season, then went to 6 creed. The roughly 40grain difference in bullet weight results in noticeably lower recoil. This really makes recoil management easier, and though it can be argued that we should work on better positions to...

If your use will be mostly hunting, the Burris Veracity is very good

thank you

incredibly light weight - should be great for a mountain rifle! Some other Ti action manufacturers seem to favor a steel bolt in Ti action, and explain this because Ti on Ti is more susceptible to galling. Some of their actions are also DLC coated. How do you feel about the potential for...
