    What to do with a Rem 7600

    I seem to remember you talking about Gamechanger loads for your 6.5? 🤔

    DIY RokStok in maple

    Hmmmmm...... If you end up wanting a very sexy display stock for your 96, hit me up 😉 I bought 2, since there's no return policy. AAA Fancy Claro Walnut. I'm keeping the one I want & moving this one on cheap. Like, cheap, cheap.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    This DEFINITELY warrants a thread title change.

    Best path forward

    Yeah, everything that requires a big magnum you have covered with your 7mm. In your shoes I'd move on the Weatherby & grab something smaller, lighter, cheaper & more fun to shoot. .223/.308/7-08 & 6.5 creed would all be at the tippy top of my list. You could easily buy a quality example of any...

    FUUUUUUUU! 3 minutes to late. If anything goes wrong, I'll take it.

    6x or 3-15 SWFA

    I can't argue with that at all. I'm sure we've all been through the mega mag craze, before settling down to more sensible scopes. It took me a long time to figure out that for 20+ years, 90% or more of my field shots had been taken at 6x or less. Now, my highest mag scope tops out at 10x & is...

    Interesting 4/20 marketing by Simms

    "Mountaineering, Big Game hunting & Game Fishing are sports. Everything else are games or passtimes"* Ernest Hemingway. *May not be 100% accurate in that, but you get the gist.

    6x or 3-15 SWFA

    That's what my instincts are telling me. I don't find the 6x to be any kind of hindrance at any range, way beyond my max hunting distance.

    6x or 3-15 SWFA

    Quick question, needing a pretty quick answer. I have a 6x Swiffer (mil quad) right now. Actually, I have 6xs on 3 rifles. I know them & I love them A great friend of mine is looking for a scope for a new .308, budget is 500. I've also found a 3-15 SWFA for sale at 550. Would you: A:-...

    RokStok

    Wow. First day on the internet? You do understand that custom, one off, made to order rifle stocks are, in fact, one off, custom & made to order, right? They're not Maccy D's fries dude. Some shit just takes time. These stocks are brand new to market, with a pretty extensive pre-order list...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Thanks! Yeah, the more I thought about it, the more I figured that the TMK does literally everything I need. Hell, a .223 bolt gun has been my primary go-to for 90% of my hunting the last 5 or 6 years anyway! 6x45 is very much still on my radar & if the right deal in a barrel ever shows up...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Very, very cool! I'm jealous of your weight there! It's been a busy day, here. I found a guy with both a 7.62x39 AND a 6.8spc barrel! 😃 Aaaaaand, neither of them extract cleanly 😡 Chambered just fine, but I had to wail on the cocking knob (I just like saying that...) to get the bolt open on a...
