I was just reading about Kimber rifles (I'd love to own one some day...) and was wondering what the difference is between the 84M and 84L. Is it just the action? It looks like the 84M houses a shorter action, e.g. .308, 7mm-08 where the 84L houses a longer action, e.g. 30-06 and .270 WIN. Is...

Since I got my Browning X-Bolt in .270 Win last November, I've only had it to the range a few times. The only ammo I had shot through it was Hornady Superformance 130 gr. SST factory loads, as I bought numerous boxes when they were on sale at the time I got the rifle and I don't reload. I've...

After doing some searching, it appears that any type of hammer extension for a TC Impact doesn't exist. It's a little, short nub of a hammer and can be a bit tricky to pull back with a scope mounted, especially while wearing gloves. With that said, has anyone ever figured out a work around...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Powder River Cartridge Co.'s ammo, particularly the 45-70 standard velocity loads. They seem to get great reviews on the website. I'm really tempted to order a box or two of their 405 gr loads. I typically shoot Remington's 405 gr ammo and...

I'm considering putting a Monarch 3 2.5-10 with BDC reticle on my X-Bolt in 270 Win. Just wondering if anyone with experience with this scope has any thoughts to share. This setup will be used primarily for hunting. All the reviews I read are fantastic, so I'm getting ready to seal the deal.

I'm taking my new 270 to the range on Sunday to get it zeroed so I can finish out the last couple weeks of deer season with it. I bought a couple boxes of Hornady Superformance 130 gr SST factory loads upon the recommendation of friend. The trajectory chart on the box claims that 1.2" high at...

My new X-Bolt Hunter in .270 arrived today, so I went to my local shop to pick it up. My first impression is that it's a nice rifle, shoulders and points well, the stock and finish are nice. The bolt will be seeing some action while I watch some of my shows over the next couple of nights...

I have a Browning BLR manufactured in 1993 and need new scope rings for it. Does anyone know if the screws that come with new BLR bases match the tapped holes on the older rifle? I'm assuming they'd keep them consistent over the years, but you know what they say about assuming things... Thanks.

It's a been a while since I've posted, but I'm coming looking for some suggestions and opinions - let the flood gates open! I recently won a stainless Kimber Pro Carry II in a local raffle. I haven't picked it up yet but I know it's a great gun and there's a good chance I'll end up hanging on...

I was finally able to take my first Northern Maine buck on Wednesday. This was a special hunt for my because it was the first deer I've taken while hunting with my grandfather, who is a spry 93 years old. He sticks mostly to the truck and sits at the crossings he's familiar with while I get out...

I'm on vacation this week and have been pretty bummed with yesterday's and today's forecast. It's in the mid 50s when it should be in the 30s. I'm taking a quick break from sitting in my stand but between yesterday's rain and today's balmy temp, I haven't seen any deer movement. The rut is in...

Hi All, Can anyone tell me if weaver-style scope bases for Thompson Center Omegas and Encores will fit the Impact as well? It appears they will but some confirmation would be nice! Also, any recommendations for bases are welcome. I'm leaning towards the one piece systems. Thoughts...

I'm new to muzzleloading and am preparing for this year's ML deer season. I have new T/C Impact. The bullets I bought came in a package with sabots, which I believe is typical, but I'm not sure if they're needed for my rifle or not. The manual for the rifle seems to suggest sabots can be used...

While talking with a coworker today, he said that he used cut the hocks from a doe that had been shot by another hunter and either tie them to his feet while walking or hang them near his stand or blind. He said that it worked like gangbusters to bring in the bucks due to the secretions from the...

And anyone else heading out into the field. Best of luck, shoot straight, and have fun. Tomorrow is opening day for rifle season here in Maine. I'm all geared up and hitting the sack early tonight. Meeting my hunting buddies early then headed to our stands. The weather looks warm, in the...

So I had the bolt out of my Tikka and turned the bolt shroud the wrong direction, unloading the spring to the firing pin. Now I'm not really sure how to reset it. Any help? Please and thank you?

To those interested: I got word back from Federal about the 300 wsm Fusion ammo I had to return due to an entire box not chambering in my Tikka. The representative told me that the head and shoulder length were at SAMMI max and this was the cause of the rounds not chambering. Coincidentally...

A while back I started a thread about an entire box of Fusion ammo that wouldn't chamber properly in my 300 WSM Tikka T3. I sent the ammo back to Federal and they informed me today that they are sending me 2 boxes of their premium Vital Shok ammo with the Barnes TSX bullets. I am more than...

So I've been searching and searching for the ideal pair of cold weather hunting gloves, but I'm not so sure they exist. My hands get cold easily, especially while stand hunting during the Maine deer season. What I'm looking for is a good pair of cold-weather gloves that aren't bulky...

I did a quick search for this issue and nothing came up, so here goes... I bought a box of Fusion 180 gr. 300 WSM for my Tikka T3. I know the Fusion ammo doesn't have a great rep but this was for range shooting and getting my scope dialed in, so I wasn't too concerned about performance...
