The one on the left was Hornady factory ammo, 129gr SST, and the one on the right is my load for my Custom 6.5CM.

No, they really aren't. Check my new post. And before you counter I only fired ONE factory load thru it. And when I fired five rounds I load for one of my other 6.5 CMs the group tightened up a lot. 4 or the five shots were inside an inch and I tugged the other. When I put it thru it's paces...

My Bergara HMR 6.5Creedmoor came in yesterday. I've added a post with four pics.

Guys, My Bergara 6.5 CM arrived yesterday! I took the scope off another rifle of mine and took it to the range to see how it'd perform. I will post pics below but first I thought I'd share my initial thoughts on the rifle. When I opened the box the first thing I noticed was just how nice the...

First, the rifle I just oredered is 1 in 8 twist. As for factory ammo, they are producing a lot better ammo today than in the past and I have no doubt that MOA can be achieved with the right factory ammo. That being said, I load my own ammo.

Guys, I just want to know if any of you own a Bergara? Or have any of you shot one? If so what do you think? Thanks, Mel

This practice is VERY dangerous to me. The only way I could see doing it is if you own the land and control who has access and even then it's risky. As for people being idiots to shoot at someone that's using this method...I pretty much agree but then I don't know all the details.

This was my first year to actually Turkey hunt and I decided going in that I was going to hunt with a rifle. Then I just researched a bit and decided to go with a .17HMR. I've killed two with it this season. One a neck shot at 20 yards and the second was in the chest at 125 yards...no meat...

This is my first year to ever actually go Turkey hunting! Below is my first ever Gobbler and the box call you see I inherited from my Paw Paw many years ago. Mom told me years ago that he'd come home after getting him a turkey with his face swollen up from mosquito bites. As for this turkey I...

It's an outstanding caliber! I killed my biggest buck to date with mine and until I bought my creedmoors it was my go to deer rifle.

Here is a short video of the gobblers response this past Sunday to my call! Talk about upset! This went on for more than eight minutes the first time. We, wife and I, called them back three times and they came back pecking on the poor jake some more before they finally left.

I can't tell you much...I'm not an expert or anything close. I simply wanted a couple of nice Garands and to see what else they had and feel fortunate that they had the carbines. As for finding the carbines for $400 in 2010... A lot has changed since then and I don't think things are going to...

They had quite a few. They actually had two types. The older ones like the one I purchased and new ones. The old ones cost $800 and the new ones cost $900. I was there on Thursday morning so I'm not sure if they restock each day but there were quite a few left when we left, in other words not...

Yes, I do not know of the history. But it does have matching action and barrel serials

Last one...
