    Weatherby Vanguard S2

    I have a Vanguard S2 in 300 Wby. For me, replacing the stock was a must. I went with a B&C for the $, but no doubt a Manners or McMillan would be better (for $$). I am happy with mine. Shoots MOA with factory 180 SP. I still need to free-float and bed. Recoil in the new stock seems more...

    What factory load

    I have a Remington M700 280 that likes the Nosler 140 BST. Great whitetail round. Midwayusa.com has Winchester 140 BST and Federal Premium 150 PT for about $30 a box. I would also not hesitate to use the Hornady Superformance or Federal Fusion on whitetail. Can't go wrong with Swarovski...

    WTB First elk rifle

    Weatherby Vanguard S2 or Tikka T3 Lite in 30-06 with a Nikon Monarch 3 2-8x32 would put you at about $800. You would be able to get great elk loads less than $30 a box. Another $100 and you could get a Zeiss Terra 3-9x42 A Remington M700 SPS would be a few bucks more and you would have a...

    Swaros, Zeiss, Leica..

    I have the Leica Ultravid HD 8x42 and they are great! Expensive though. I think I would be just as happy with the Swarovski or Zeiss. I also have the Leica rangefinder, which is also very good. If I had it to go ever again, I would have bought the bino/rangefinder combination. Leica, Swaro...

    Expanding the battery w/6.5 Creedmoor

    Model 20 with 22 inch No. 1 contour barrel. Approximately 5 lbs. I was first thinking about a 7mm-08 but I like the idea of the Creedmoor with less recoil and higher sectional density. Negligible velocity difference in a grain for grain comparison. I am thinking 120 - 130 grain A-max...

    Turning 30 this week

    Hello, All. This week I turn 30 and I will be concluding my 10 years in the US Army before I turn 31. I am excited to change the tempo in my life and find more time to find the peace I need. I grew up chasing whitetails and I plan to expand out west, hunting elk and mulies. Hopefully my wife...
