I've looked it over with both and I think I'm going to stick with the long action. But I reserve the right to change my mind. :D I'm getting...
And really I misspoke earlier. It's not based on a .284 Win case, but follows the "fat, short" principle the .284 Win established. Really it's...
Long action, although with my two Savage LW stainless actions, I was very tempted to put it in the short action since the mag box is a full 3.00"
Looks like the 6.8 crowd is jumping on the .284 Win bandwagon? I suppose it was just a matter of time now that the .284 Win has made a comeback....
I agree with this, but some of that snappiness is due to their hockey puck hard recoil "pad." Put a limbsaver pad on a Tikka and it's fine. I...
you can't go wrong with a Tikka. Light, accurate as heck and reasonably priced. That's what I'd recommend. I've owned four now, and they were...
Yea, the problem with me procrastinating is that it increases the odds I'll shoot two in one trip, which my back never thanks me for anymore......
I actually have 3 doe tags left to fill (private land permits) and I should be in a deer blind right now but don't feel like cleaning any more...
Count me in that group, when I was in my mid-20's. I traded my beloved pre-64 winchester 30-30 to a friend for some work I wanted done on my...
spot on. LOL
If it makes you feel any better, I'm rebarreling a classic old '06 to 7x57 right now. ;) "Upgrading" it to the older cartridge. LOL
It would take care of 3/4 of the critters you'd hunt there anyway.
The 7mm-08 is so underrated it's crazy. I was doing the math one day on one of my 7mm-08 loads, and in a moment of curiosity, compared it to my...
Pretty tough to argue with a .280 Rem, or it's stubby little brother the .284 Win like the one I'm building now. Like you say - they do...
I came across a nice one with the monte carlo stock in 7mm-08 last year. I was very excited to get it because I have wanted a BLR in 7mm-08 since...
Hard to argue with that list.
I run into a bunch of those at our small town range every year, sadly. I used to offer them help until I got tired of being told they "don't need...
I always thought the whole idea of hunting was to get as close as you can to ensure the most ethical shot possible. Bragging about the distance...
1959 winchester model 94 30-30 that I received in 1984 as a Christmas gift from my father. So I guess that's 36 years ago.
Agreed.
