    Advice please: New barrel or new rifle

    I wanted to part of the process. I'm learning a bit which is a good thing. Definitely going SS! Thanks.

    Advice please: New barrel or new rifle

    Anyone have experience with Preferred Barrels? I'm thinking I'd like to replace the barrel. Scarring on an old walnut stock is just too pretty to let go :)

    Advice please: New barrel or new rifle

    Hoping for a little help for those that know more than me (not a big lift!). I have a early to mid '90s Ruger M77 in 7mm Rem Mag. My gunsmith just informed me the barrel is shot out...pitted etc. My options are replace the barrel or replace the rifle. FWIW I currently have a pretty new Tikka...

    WTS Lone Wolf Alpha tree stand - $95 (pick up in CO Front Range only)

    Thanks guys. It's in great shape and hasn't received a lot of use so time to go to someone who will.

    WTS Lone Wolf Alpha tree stand - $95 (pick up in CO Front Range only)

    I have an early model Lone Wolf (pre-Noviix) Alpha tree stand with an updated cushion on the seat. It's in fine shape. One hook strap included. (You would probably want to buy another strap for the versa button.) I'd prefer not to ship but if you can meet me between Loveland and Littleton...

    Sig Sauer Zulu7 vs Vortex Viper HD? (10x42) - anybody??

    I guess any comparisons or opinions w the Zeiss Conquest HD would be great too.

    Sig Sauer Zulu7 vs Vortex Viper HD? (10x42) - anybody??

    I'm considering purchasing one of these two binos. Has anyone given a comparative look at these two? I did notice the Sig was 9oz heavier. I suspect that could get noticeable after a few days of hiking around the mountains. Anyway I'm curious about the glass, low-light performance, etc...

    ILF Risers & Limbs?

    I have a Dryad riser that is quite narrow. I have rather small hands (size medium gloves) as well and like the Dryad grip. I also have a TradTech Titan riser. LOVE that riser! You have a choice in three different grips (low, med.,high). I really like the low. And they are fairly slim as...

    Long Draw Recurve

    +1 on RMSG. You may wish to look at some Wapiti bows. Keith Chastain's design supposedly work well for long draws (my handle should indicate I do not have personal experience!). If u go w a Chastain, 1) make sure the limbs are fast flight compatible-Keith makes both, and 2) make sure RMSG lets...

    First range finder question

    I'm looking to buy my first range finder. Would like to use it for both archery and rifle seasons. That is, I would like it to range from 10 yards to 800 yards (not reflective but actual rocks and deer) with drop compensation. Am I asking too much for one range finder? Is this a unicorn or does...

    Woodsman/Reckoning Water Bladder

    You are quite correct. My comment added nothing. I will obediently keep my mouth shut...despite owning around six Kifaru packs (i.e. I've spent enough coin to warrant at least an opinion) and spending a few years in this industry. Carry on.

    Woodsman/Reckoning Water Bladder

    $660 for pack and frame and you have to retrofit a sleeve for a bladder?? That's so awesome.

    Scope for my Tikka in $500 range

    Is the extra weight of a 50mm lens over a 40mm worth an extra 2 ounces? Seems like it would be.

    Scope for my Tikka in $500 range

    I guess I'm either old school or just out of touch but dialing turrets just seems like one more thing to mess around with and be a distraction. Holdover marks on my scope seem much better to me. And I don't think the 7mm-08 is really a true long range round for killing critters anyway. Maybe...

    Scope for my Tikka in $500 range

    Thanks Lightfoot!! Never seen the custom shop!! That looks great. To get to pick my own reticle is exactly what I was looking for. May have to pick my own finish too. Does anyone have any preferences or opinions on reticles? Anyone like drop compensating reticles or are they gimmicky?

    Scope for my Tikka in $500 range

    Well, given it is a 7mm-08, I would guess 400 yds or so is the max responsible hunting range although I am new to the caliber. If I get quite comfortable with the rifle, maybe further. No 800+ shots unless it's at metal though!

    Scope for my Tikka in $500 range

    Need a little help and education on a new scope. Just bought a Tikka Stainless Lite in 7mm-08. Now for a scope. It's been quite a while since i bought a rifle scope and then you just got a 3x9 and called it good. Now there are a lot more brands and power ranges. For this caliber and a rifle...

    25-.06 vs 7mm-08 considerations???

    Great thoughts! I may go look at a Tikka today. In 7mm-08. But maybe I should consider the 270. Just didn't want to start getting too close to overlapping with my 7rem mag.
