Sure. I should have been clear I was referring to handgun hunting, just to make a point that most people would think a 7.5" 44 mag pistol is plenty for deer. But the fact is majority of factory 44 mag loads can't make the 900 standard at even 50 yards. I've shot plenty of whitetail with the...

And the 44 mag doesn't even com close to making the minimum...

You can defnitely under stabilize a bullet and have it keyhole, that pretty common. Over stabilizing seems less problematic overall. It may not be the most accurate to shoot out of your particulart rifle, but unless is a super thin jacket and you spin the bullet apart it will either shoot...

Keith has done some great things for sure, but has also said some things that were flat out wrong, like "the .270 is a marginally effective coyote round". And the aforementioned comments about 7mags and antelope and 30-06 and deer. I don't have to have written 10 books to know that is...

As peviously mentioned, barrel life would be measured in the low hundreds of rounds, making it quite impractical. As far as a sniper round, just saying something like that makes the OP sound like an internet warrior. Except for shorter range police situations that are already covered by .223...

This is true in my experience. While lever guns are great and plenty reliable, after half a dozen hunting trips to Alaska and having several personal friends employed as guides there, I've yet to see an actual guide using one. Most of them use CRF rifles 338 or larger, and I was surpised to...

Shooting from a bench is not just about benchrest matches or being lazy, my friend. The training teaches you how to be more familiar with your firearm, analyze shooting technique, read wind, breath control, and trigger control all at a more granular level. You can verify and fully exploit the...

There is nothing wrong or broken, people shoot for enjoyment. That can mean different things to different people. I can spend hours on end with my 700 mil spec or savage lrpv chasing sub 1/2 moa groups and still be bummed when it's time to leave. Shooting an sks capable of 2.5-3moa, offhand...

Looking at 204 ruger uppers. Accuracy is pretty much the main thing I'm looking for. Their mach 3 model about halfway down the page guarantees 1/2 moa accuracy. Seems pretty good for around $1,000. Anyone ever dealt with them? WWW.ar15-uppers.com

What planet is this true on, cause it surely isn't earth...

With the limited info in your post, I have to assume you are relatively new to shooting, since anyone with experience would know much more info is needed for a recommendation. While the best answer is probably for you to buy a good 22 and go shooting, I assume that's not the advice you seek...

I'd agree, while the "new" parts might be good from a performance standpoint, not sure it would be helpful as far as collector value. Price seems kinda high to me. You can get a darn nice custom rifle for $3500.

The savage mentioned above is surely a great piece and a great option. When I do it, it will be the REM 700, since I have a 5r in 308 and 223. You can find them just barely used with a few rounds down the tube for 1300 ish of you are patient.

real world I have hunted grizzly with a model 70 stainless synthetic in 375. The bear was quartering toward me at 170 yards. I shot him in the seam kinda where the front shoulder meets the neck. The bear did not take one step, and I think it was dead when it hit the ground. Upon inspection...

Thanks, sounds like that may be the way to go in this case.

If the scope on the 270wsm is of decent quality, that is plenty of scope for a 450 yard shot at something the size of a deer. And the wsm will have more enery at that range than the 308, so I feel it's the better choice. You have an advantage of practicing the exact shot you will be taking...

I have a 5R and it is riduculously accurate with factory Federal GMM 168's. It shoots most other loads well too, but I thought the fact that the 5R had a slightly faster twist would mean it would tend to like the heavier 175's and up. It shoots those just fine(about 3/4" at 100), but the 168's...

Bad news - My uncle passed away Good news - He left me a bunch of firearms. Lots of nice stuff, including a colt python, which is something I always wanted, but had trouble justifying a $1,000+ revolver that I have no actual need for. Bad news - The guns are all in good shape except the...
