It's on my list, a short list. That, a Kraig and a trap door springfield then I'll have all the service rifles issued to the US military with a metallic cartridge....:D Even though it doesn't really classify as a "rifle" they are cool:p

Thanks, I just did, now to wait for a reply....:rolleyes:

Hi guys... At what speed does the 130gr .277 SST reliably expand on game? I'm loading it in a 6.8 spc and the muzzle veloicity is only 2300-2400 fps. My limit on game shots are 250yds or less, the bullet should still be traveling 1900fps +/- Will it still work? As an...

Here are mine, 45-70 guide gun and a model 7 youth in 7-08. The case is a short pelican, I figure with those two I can pretty much take any game in North America. My 45-70 hunting load is 405's at 1750, and the 7-08 is 120 Barns XXX @ 2900fps

A pair of scouts, one in 45-70 the other in 7mm-08 and a rebuilt 1917 enfield in .338-06

Almost 35, married w/ 2 girls, Active Duty Air Force that has deployed an average of 120 days a year for the past 15 years. 5 years to go, then I haven't a clue. Shoot, reload and hunt when I'm not on the HD 96 wide glide while I'm home. I'm in air transportation, (think of Fed ex for the...

Thanks Guys MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Cajun

Merry Christmas guys! I'll be building a rifle in a few months and will want open sights. I'll have two options , 14"-16" between the front and rear or 24"-26". Which is better if I wanted to hit a 200 yd target? The rear will be a ghost ring and the front, either a tritium or white post...

Hi Guys, I'm wanting a "Jeff Cooper" Scout rifle( Short action, less than 7 lbs, 1 meter long, scout scope with fixed ghost ring sights) Well, now I'm thinking about a Remington Model 7 Synthetic youth in 7mm-08. Out of the box it is 6.5 lbs, 38" long and has fixed sights. Walmart has them for...

Welcome, I have had 2 blade tech holsters and one knife. Excellant products! They are only a mile or so from work. I had a UCH custom made. They borrowed the gun for a few hours and wahla new holster. I carry a Compact Springfield in a nother UCH, no problems yet. The knife is amazing, It's...

rbernie Nice rifle, I just got back from talking to the gunsmith who will be helping me build the rifle. He'll look for a Rem action but if nothing shows up between now and May we'll build up a mauser. If we go remmington it will be a 7-08 if not we will use a 7x57. Thanks everyone for...

Wyo, Yep it's will be for the scout. Thanks for the input Cajun

Hi guys, Is there any decernable difference between these two rounds? If my goal is to push a 120 gr bullet at 2800-2900 fps and a 139gr bullet at 2700-2800 fps out a 20" barrel , would it make a difference which round I used? I know the 7x57 needs a little bit longer action and cant...

Can I get an AMEN!! :rolleyes: If Ruger is going for a "scout" rifle, It needs back up sights. It could use a little longer barrel IMO. 18"-20" would be better. Cajun

The Ruger is nice, but the barrel is too short for me. I'd prefer a 20" barrel. Cajun

I've heard mixes reviews from the B-square. Most had to be fit to the particular gun. (not that it's a bad thing) I'm building as true a scout as possible but I'm going the more expensive route with a commercial action, Haven't nailed one down yet. Either a Rem model 7 youth or a Howa ultra...

Sam, Here is what I do: Lube, deprime, clean, trim then load. I've thought about cleaning agian after I trim but dont see it's nessasary. I get my corn cob/ walnut from the pet store. The smaller the better. I got the wrong size on time and having to pick midea out of 200 mil surplus.223...

Hi Guys, Whats the difference? I'm looking for a youth model in 7mm-08. I see they only come in the Model 7 but not the 700. Whats the big difference? Cajun

I shoot a lot of Hornady's, I feel they are the best value, You get a box of 100 for a semi-premium for less than a box of 50 for the permium. I've worked up accurate loads in 223,30-06& 338-06 with SST or interbonds. All with the same powder I might add( Varget) I havent shot any animals...
