    do you hunt for

    I hunt for both, and why not have a nice mount to go on the wall with the meat in the freezer. I don't need to hunt for meat, my family still owns a cattle ranch. I like game meat but I like trophies as well, if I can't find a decent set of antlers I don't usually shoot. There isn't anything...

    Re-chamber K98k to .308 Win.

    Well you have a standard length action why not put a standard length round in it? I'd go with the .30-06 if you are going to re-barrel and take full advantage of the magazine and action length. The price difference between factory ammunition in .308 and .30-06 isn't that great. Both are still...

    270 or 308 or 30-06

    I can tell you a little about Savage 110's but not the .270 in one. The savage 110 is a decent rifle that is amazingly accurate for the most part. The problem with most of them is the trigger which can be easily replaced with a after market one. They were not always the prettiest rifle in the...

    Israeli Mauser to .338 Federal

    I'm not too familiar with Israeli Mauser's, but is it a true short action? If it isn't and it is a standard length action then why not a .338-06? The .338-06 has more potential than the .338 Federal especially if you are not limited by cartridge length. Of course I'm a little biased as to the...

    MOA clarification

    The proper way to measure a shot group is to measure the outside edges of the two farthest points in the group and then subtract the diameter of the bullet. This will give you the shot group size center to center. If you have a set of dial calipers this will give you a more accurate shot group...

    Pick 3 rifle calibers.

    .223 Rem (good all around Varmint caliber) .270 Win (Current elk and smaller rifle, wouldn't be afraid to use it on Moose) .338-06 (For things that bite back and just to be different didn't see one metnioned in 7 pages and I own one)

    Long range hunting question

    Well I'll admit to taking a shot beyond 500 yards on deer and I got it. It isn't a shot I'd like to repeat all the time but not one I'd necessarily pass up either. I like to be a lot closer, but I've practiced with this rifle and cartridge a lot and plugging coyotes at 400+ has never been a...

    Hunting Mentors

    Hey Art, I'll help out here in Colorado. I could do some Parent-Youth varmint hunting in my area. If the landowner tag thing works out next year I could offer some Youth Pronghorn hunting. I'll help adults as well but I'm partial to the little guys.

    22-250 twist rate

    1-14 twist rate is good if you are using 55 grain bullets and under. If you want to go up higher in bullet weight you will want a faster twist rate something like a 1-9 works good with everything 55 grains and heavier. The slow twist rate doesn't allow the heavier bullets to stabilize, AR's...
