I always thought they were pretty nifty. Kind of a niche piece I guess. My hunting partner killed a 183 white tail with one

I have a maybe 10 year old X-Bolt in 7 mag. With hand loads it shoots sub .5’s for the few times that I’ve shot groups. I honestly don’t understand why Browning isn’t more popular

Not trying to be a smartass, but this situation is what I see as the quantity over quality dilemma. You’ve got at least five rifles of duplicate calibers and none are of sufficient quality to achieve what you desire. I went through the same thing, as probably a majority of members here do...

I’ve had multiples. 870’s, 1100’s, 11-87, 7400 in .35 Whelen. At least three 700’s. One of my .22-250’s shot a bug hole five shot group that looked like one shot unless you looked really,really close. Probably sub .1”.

“Best” is a subjective term and if you ask ten guys you’ll get ten opinions, each one right/wrong in its own way. To my way of thinking, ammo price would be dead last on the list of considerations. I’d never shoot a magnum hunting rifle enough for ammo cost to factor in. If you can’t afford a...

I’m always amazed that well after the problem is solved we still get guys offering suggestions. Do they not read the replies? HE GOT A SCOPE!!! You can stop now!!!

That’s awesome

This is quite generous and what I was hoping someone would do. For years I had multiple scopes just laying around that were serviceable but didn’t fit my needs. I gave some away in the “pay it forward “ thread but they’re all gone now except a 6.5-20 which wouldn’t be much good on a .22.

I had an old 4x Bushnell Sportview that would have been perfect. It was on my 12 gauge slug gun and held zero perfectly. I would have given to you but it’s already gone. I have an unused scope just laying in my safe but it wouldn’t be suitable for your needs. Anyway, hope you find something...

A good oil seems to work pretty well on breaking down rust. Your choice of Kroil is one I would have started with also. Other options which may or may not work as well would be ATF or a RO hydraulic fluid. I have been surprised at how well just oil and a terry cloth towel will remove very...

Wife and I are grandparents, never any young children in our home. Locked and loaded AR for each of us.

It 5’7” I’m not a big guy. My 7 Mag Browning is not at all unpleasant to shoot even with 162 grain full power loads. It is relatively light. As noted, stock fits me well and has a super squishy recoil pad which IMO makes a HUGE difference I had a Ruger lever action .45-70. You can load them...

I guess I’d stop and think what I’m really going to do with the rifle if I did invest that much into it. I’d assume it’s never going to be target/benchrest type rifle. I haven’t compared side by side but I sincerely doubt there is a meaningful difference in real world hunting performance. A...

My hunting partner had a 37 Featherweight that he used for deer. Nice gun but with just regular 2 3/4” Foster slugs it was one of the hardest kicking shotguns I’ve fired

Few years back when I was in the same spot you are i got a Browning X-Bolt in 7 Remington mag. Shoots flat as a varmint rifle. Sub 1/2” groups. Powerful enough for elk, etc. With their exceptional recoil pad, the recoil is quite manageable and I’m not a big guy. I wanted one rifle to hunt...

If you think about it, we complain that we don’t haves any money but the average guy here probably has at least $25,000 worth of guns and another $5-$10 k in related “stuff” Only in America do we whine that we want/need more “stuff”, then have to rent storage units to hold the stuff we never use

The age old question is “what do you do with stuff that’s too good to throw away but not worth keeping?” I’ve got scope bases for guns that I don’t own any more. Probably 5,000 new and once fired brass, mostly .223 that I got for prairie dog trips that never happened. I have a Dillon 550...

I assume his response was from a Christian religious standpoint. The correct translation of Exodus 20 is “ thou shall not murder”, that is lie in wait and take an innocent life. Remember, the Israelites killed a LOT of people after Mt Sinai

This would be my approach. There have been many who have the truth on their side but end up losing. Years ago I knew a guy that wrote a negative report in a relatively obscure magazine. He got sued by the manufacturer and ended up losing almost everything. The one with the deepest pockets...

If you are interested I have a 4 to 10 ounce target trigger for a 700 Remington that I bought years ago, never installed. It’s either a Jewel or Timney, forget now. I think Timney. Nothing to use it on and I’d let it go pretty cheap compared to new
