Hi everyone. I am getting a gun from a guy and I can't seem to find much info on it so I am hoping someone can give me some. It is a Remington 700, synthetic/stainless with detachable magazine chambered in 300 Weatherby Mag. He told me that this rife was made for one year only, 1997. It has had...

All I can say is that I took my Weatherby Vanguard chambered in 257 Wby on it's first hunt this Monday past. I was hunting Black Bear and the bear came out at 135 yards away. I was using 100 grain Barnes TSX Weatherby ammo. I placed the cross hairs on the big bruins neck and squeezed the...

Thanks all for everything. You were right, I had reversed the base screws causing the long screws to extend into the gun. That was a dumb mistake on my part and thanks to you guys for setting me straight....LOL

Hi everyone. I have a Weatherby Vanguard chambered in 257 Wby. I have only shot this gun eight time at the range and today I took it out of the safe to mount some new optics on it and discovered that the bolt is not locking up all the way. It is only locking up about half way and then the bolt...

Thanks, everyone. I have declined the trade.

I know about the 710, but he is offering me two guns, the 710 and the TOZ 120. Should I still say no??

Hi all. I need some help here as I am unsure of what to do. I have a Remington 742 Carbine chambered in 308 Win. The gun is in MINT, and I mean MINT condition and has only ever fired 60 shots at the range. It has never been hunted with. I have it up for sale for $550 and a guy has offered me his...

Hi everyone. My wife gave me s sweet Xmas gift, a Weatherby Vanguard chambered in 257 Wby Mag. The rifle has a high gloss Grey/Black laminate stock and stainless barrel. She gave me three boxes of ammo with the gun, Weatherby 100 grain Barnes TSX Triple-Shock X-Bullets. I am wondering if...

Here's my opinion on what you should do, just look at him and smile every time he says that the 308 has more recoil, or you can pass him a 460 Weatheby and get him to try that out and see if the 308 has more recoil than that one...lol.

Give me my 257 Weatherby Magnum and I am one happy hunter!! Thank you Roy Weatherby!!

Thanks for responding but I still can't find pink at Boyds. All I can find is the Applejack (Red/Black).

Hi everyone. I am in desperate need of a Pink/Grey laminate stock for my wife as a Xmas gift. I would also accept a Pink/Whatever Color if I have to. I am located in Canada and Stockys Stocks won't ship to me, go figure!! It is just a piece of wood!! Can someone PLEASE tell me where I can get...

Hi all. I am considering buying a Weatherby Vanguard chambered in 257 Wby. I do not reload so I would have to buy the ammo, and I know that it isn't cheap. Here in Canada (where I am from) the ammo cost around $85 - $120 per box and it is very hard to find. But I fell in love with the ballistics...

I finally got out to shoot the 1985GS on Monday past. What a blast!! I am hooked big time on the 45-70. I was expecting more recoil than there actually was. It was a please to shoot. Now I can't wait to take my next Moose with it. Thanks to all who gave me advice on this gun!!

The longest shot I made on an animal was a Bull Moose at 384 Yards. I used my Remington 760 chambered in .308 Win The longest on a target (6" x 6") was at a distance of 600 yards. I was using a Browning BAR chambered in 300 Win Mag.
