    Model 70 to 7PRC?

    I really like your rifle, it makes it awfully tempting to go down there today and buy it. The only thing stopping me is that it's a 30-06, and I already have a Sako A3 that I got a good deal on in the same chambering. Being in the northeast I'd probably just want a short action cartridge...

    Model 70 to 7PRC?

    Anyone have experience with the "Ranger" M70s? My LGS has one and I was thinking about picking it up to turn it into a project, but the action seems pretty rough.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    I have the same belief as well, however I have seen 73gr ELD-m gel tests fail to reach 12 inches of penetration in calibrated ballistics gel (AR-15.coms gel test iirc) even at reduced impact velocities. Given that the shots I would take would be at typical eastern woodland hunting range for the...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Does anyone prefer the 62gr Gold Dot/Fusion to the 73gr ELD? My state is starting background checks for ammo along with a fee associated with it and I'd like to stock up on .223 and .308 before it goes into effect.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    This thread wasn't made to extol the virtues of bulk 55gr soft points. Have you read the whole thread?

    Final decision scope on my 6.5prc?

    I got an email earlier that basically said I'd have to call in my order.

    Final decision scope on my 6.5prc?

    It's the same site I've purchased all my other SWFAs on, trying to backorder it just gives me a 404. It might be an issue with the mobile site, I'll try It on my desktop when I get home.

    Final decision scope on my 6.5prc?

    Are you no longer able to backorder them for the sale price? It's not letting me place one for the mil/mil 6x

    SWFA 3-9X42 vs SWFA 6X

    If you ever want to get rid of it I'm sure it won't be hard. I wanted one and got burned when they discontinued it after I sent mine in for replacement. I'm hoping they come out with a new 1-6 or 1-8 when they reveal whatever it is they're working on.

    On the hunt for a Super 700. If you have one and would like to part with it, let me know.

    Ice/snow comparison between rifles

    well now I feel like a chump for not buying the last ones on gunbroker lol. Guess I'll keep hunting for one.

    Ice/snow comparison between rifles

    How do you think it would've fared in this test? A close friend of mine recently got his fathers rem 700 and for both of our sakes I was thinking about gifting him a super 700 if I could find one, or a TT Primary.

    Sanity check first rifle config (elk, lightweight)

    I would rather the lighter weight rifle, with more readily available ammunition, that recoils less. a rifle that is both more pleasant to shoot, and more pleasant to carry will lead to more practice with it.

    Sanity check first rifle config (elk, lightweight)

    I'd have to agree with those saying to just grab a Rokslide special to start out with. Creedmoor is plenty out to 500. I had a Savage model 10 purchased around 2012 and it was nothing but problem after problem. Noodle for a stock, if I looked at it wrong it would jam when I tried to feed it, it...

    Swarovski Z5i 3.5-18x44

    I bought the Z5 3.5-18x44 a while ago. I bought it for glass and based off a certain review from a content creator I trusted for things like that at the time. the glass is good, but the build quality is poorer than fixed power scopes that I've bought for almost 1/7th the price I paid for the Swaro.
