    6.5 SAUM or 6UM

    ADG seems to be very good at sticking to and publicizing their schedule. Some dealers will even let you pre-order. IMO it's pretty easy to get if you plan ahead a bit, and be ready to jump on it once it hits the shelves. I was able to get my hands on plenty of 7 saum brass to last the barrel...

    You have 5 WY preference points. Where are you applying?

    Looks to me like you would have a chance, but certainly not a gurantee

    Standard Bolt 25 Cal

    i really really want to build a quarter bore for the new heavies. the 25 creed seems to be the easiest solution because of the good head stamped brass. However with the new bullets released in last couple years and a handful of recent threads just here on rokslide I can't help but think someone...

    WTS Tikka stock

    I've got a tikka t3x stock for sale. It's a roughtech model, tan with black specks. I ended up building the gun into a 7 saum and put an aftermarket stock on it. I did use it one season, and my gun bearer wore down the side of the stock a bit as seen in the pics. Has nothing to do with the...

    7 Saum powder selection

    ADG is pretty transparent on their schedule I would suggest contacting them directly. And get on a couple preorder lists, as not all of them get what they have ordered with each batch. I got mine through Unknown Munitions. As per powder H4831sc and RL23 seem to be the better options to cover the...

    Best of Both Worlds- Ballistic RF and Binoculars

    I'm about to pull the trigger myself, need a ballistic rangefinder and dont archery hunt much anymore so seems like the perfect time to make the switch. For some reason the zeiss rf gets left off a lot of these threads, and yet it rarely gets a negative review. Here's my brief summary from my...

    Load Development

    I know unknown munitions will do a load development pack of loaded ammo. Different bullets, powder charges etc. But I too would be curious if there's a company that would sell 10 or so just bullets to compare. Also hammer sells sample packs of I beleive 15 bullets at a time direct from the...

    633 or 733 for 88mm spotter?

    I've got the 724 and a 82mm meopta. I am in more open type country where the wind always blows. It handles it well considering but I personally wouldn't want anything less for the big spotter. I have been considering getting a small lightweight tripod for the hunts where I'm only using binos...

    Which Short Mag for 3.0 COAL?

    I chose 7 saum, but both of your options there are good ones. I'd lean to the 7ss just because of brass already setup to go. I went saum because I had the extra room with the Tikka. 3.0 is certainly doable for the saum I'm not much longer than that. But the 7ss should fit nicely Sent from my...

    22" 280AI carbon barrel, does it exist?

    Pretty much any of them should. I chose Carbon 6 to do my 20" 7 saum with 8 twist. None of them will likely have it setting on the shelf, will have to be ordered. Or find a blank and have a smith do it. I believe the savage ultralite with proof barrel is only 22" in the ackley in case you'd...

    Buying used riflescopes

    If it's a reputable company/store I wouldn't be too scared. If they want to make that part of their business they won't make it If they aren't honest about the condition. If it's more like a pawn shop I'd be real cautious Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    A new rifle and a few questions

    Don't quote me on this but I beleive the new brownings have a 8.5 twist. Love my older brownings and the new ones are even better. 9 is going to cover most common bullets tho, especially if using factory ammo. The heavy coppers and very heavy lr bullets is where the faster twist comes into play...

    Opinions on 3 rifles

    Of those 3 tikka gets my vote. I've got some older brownings that were my favorite till I got my first tikka. Browning makes a nice gun tho and wouldn't be scared of it at all. Christensen gets too many mixed reviews for me to try Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    what spotting scope glass would you need to compliment swaro 10x42

    My first real spotter was a vortex viper 80mm, pretty much hated it from the moment I got it. Finally saved up enough to go with with a meopta s2 and am much much happier. Long story short a spotter is definitely an item buy once cry once imo..... If nothing else buy used, that'll roughly allow...

    Glass Quality Sig kilo3000bdx VS Vortex Vipers

    The fury has the same glass as vipers fyi. I've never looked at the two side x side, but most say the sig has the edge. But they are going to be quite similar. If not needing the ballistics part of the rangefinder the meopta is hands down a better choice Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    300 win mag factory elk ammo

    Not much factory ammo out there that wouldn't work on an elk at that range, really comes down to what shoots well in your gun and what you can even get right now. Get a couple boxes and see what shoots. Personally I'd look for 180gr nosler accubond or partitions. Barnes ttsx, nosler etip...
