    Help me pick a hunting rifle

    I shot my last bull last year at 478 yds with a 140 gr partition from a 6.5x55 swede. The bull stood there for about 5 seconds and then just collapsed. Upon post mortem examination, the heart was pulverized and the bullet was found under the hide on the off side. A 30-06 with proper bullets is...

    Hornady SST

    Shot a 125 lb doe at 175 yards. Used a 150gr SST out of a .308 Win running 2950fps. Hit just in front of the onside shoulder, doe was quartering towards me, exit just aft of the offside shoulder, hole was big enough to put my fist through, DRT. I would say they are adequate.

    6.5 Swede Deer cartridge advice

    If you want to shoot it at modern pressures/velocities, you have to buy Norma or Lapua ammo. Saying that, you don't need it for killing deer. Use a good modern bullet and you will be fine.

    If you want something that will keep its value, either a Sako TRG-22 or a GAP built rifle.

    M1A optics mount.

    My Sadlak airborne is not only light and solid, just like the ARMS it allows for iron sight usage.

    Long range rifle

    There is a reason that long range custom rifles are chambered in 260 Rem, 6.5 Creedmore and other light recoiling calibers. They consistently out perform their larger counterparts at longer distances with slippery bullets. If it were me I would buy a Sako TRG-22 in .260, I think Eurooptics has...

    M1A

    Good questions. I am right handed so the world is my oyster. But, the M1A is a fantastic rifle for almost anyone. Shooting 308 and 7.62 military left overs is a boon in one rifle. If you are fond of excessive muzzle blast get a 16 or 18 inch tube. I have a M1A in a fiberglass stock 22" barrel...

    Help me select Rifles for me and wife.

    +++1 on the .260 for either of you. I have a Kimber 84m in .260 I bought 10 years ago and it is a stone cold deer killing machine with 100 gr BT's. Fast, flat, accurate, and very light recoil. A Ruger, Remington model 7, or other would be perfect.

    If most of your shots are 50 to 75 yards go with a fixed power 4X or a 1.5-4X variable. You don't need that much power in a scope for those distances. I have a 1.5-4x on my .35 Whelen and I can ring a 6" steel gong at 400 yards with it. I have a 3.5-10X on my .260 Rem and I am beginning to...

    Clays or Clays universal. Both great, I have found the Clays universal to burn a little cleaner.

    Benelli shotguns kick too hard?

    I have had two Benelli's . The first was a 12 ga. Montefeltro, it kicked hard with 3" shells and it was wood stocked. I year later I bought a 12ga SBE II with comfort tech stock. It is comfortable with all but the largest 3.5" shells. The stock makes a huge difference, but I bought it for...

    Black Horn 209 Amazing!

    I don't think it will work very well in a revolver because it is a progressive burning powder. It needs barrel length to realize its potential. Most people who have a difficult time with it have misfires and difficulty with ignition. It does require regular shotgun 209 primers and flash...
