So I have been wanting to upgrade the scope on my Hawkeye African from the old Burris 1.75-5x. I Really like the straight tube "African look" but still needed enough power to shoot elk and mule deer out to 3-350 yards so wanted something up to 6x. I couldn't afford a Swarovski z6 1-6x or any of...

Anyone have any thing good or bad to say about these rifle? I was in sportsmans today and they had a 270 with wood far exceeding any supergrade I have seen in the past - almost custom shop nice. Couldn't pass it up so I put it on lay away. Seems the new trigger system is pretty nice - this one...

I apologize in advance if the Moderators feel this is not the right area for this, but I thought I would start a thread to share your hunting rig - truck, jeep, UTV - Whatever you consider your rig. We share rifles, loads, hunting pics - why not your hunting rigs???! I just picked up a 2014...

I mentioned a couple months back my desire to "Africanize" the appearance of my 375 Ruger. I had in my mind something along the lines of a Remington custom shop African Big Game Rifle. I ordered a boyds stock with the following custom options: Nutmeg Laminate Classic Ebony fore end tip Ebony...

Open to pretty much any brand. Need 50 and would like 100 if possible.

As you guys know, I have a Bushmaster Predator AR 15 (rifle only) and Tikka T3 superlite with leupold scope, 308 for sale. I am open to trading both rifles (approx. $1500-1600) in total value straight across for a weatherby accumark in 30-378 or 338-378 or a Remington Sendero in .300 RUM...

Can anyone start me off with some starting data? Possibly with r15 if possible but open to much of anything. If I do this load, I will be trying to seat longer than standard 2.800.

If I cant/don't sell my tikka 308, I had an idea to run by you all. Can I take a long action magazine and load 308 rounds a little longer (assuming they chamber fine) and be good to go? Specifically looking at trying 190 accubond long range.

So I really would like to get into competitive shooting...Probably 600 yard max to start (even that's probably to far for me right now). I was reading about a new class of shooting called F-AR 15 - Essentially bring out your scoped AR 15 and shoot. Anyways, anyone who does could you provide...

I know this is the reloading forum, but close enough... :grin: I bought this ammo today and shot it, grouped very well in my Para Expert 1911...Good enough that I bought another box. I have in mind of having this loaded in my pistol for home protection, but also and more importantly, 185 JHP...

Without doubt, my favorite rifle I have owned is my Ruger 77 Hawkeye African in .375 Ruger. This is a special "gloss finish" rifle that wears a Burris Fullfield 3-9x40 scope. The rifle has a trigger job set at 3.5 # and is glass bedded. Over the last 4 years, it has killed Elk, Mule Deer, Bears...

So I was able to chronograph this load today (45.0 r15, 22.5" tikka factory barrel) and I was right in the 2900 FPS range...I had settled on this because it shoots 3 shots into 6/10th of an inch. Sighted in 2" high at 100 yards for 215 yard zero. Well after getting home I ran the ballistic...

Here it is...Tikka Superlite .308 Winchester with Leupold 6x36. Havent weighed it on a scale but It should be around 6 pounds 7-8 oz....Now comes load development... Going to start with 165 Accubonds...Also want to try 168 ballistic silvertips.

Seems the facts of life are so up and down. Just a few weeks ago I am selling a custom 280 AI to cover an unexpected bill, now life put me in a position for a new project..Oh well what can you do. Putting together a light, all around mtn gun, mainly for high country mule deer in the Frank...

Need some and can't find any...Will pay top dollar. Thanks Adam

Considering "normal" shooting and circumstances and assuming loads are not overloaded or "hot loads" what would you guess/say is the normal life span of a brass...(specifically a higher pressure round - 280 ai)?

If anyone has an extra can or has in bulk and would be willing to sell me some I would surely be greatfull. Really need it for this new 280 AI...Please let me know. Adam

So I was just recently able to finish my .280 Ackley winter project. It is a Sako AIII with a 26" finished Shilen #4, 1/9 twist. McMillian classic stock with Light Gray, Dark Gray, and black. The barreled action is cerakoted in Tungsten and the bolt has the bluish/grey microslick. Burris bases...

Either a 3-9x, 2.5-10x, or 3-12x, will look at both matte or gloss options. Thanks Adam

Deviated from my original plan. Now my stock is a McMillan classic part black/light gray/dark grey. I am going to cerakote the barreled action. Which color would go best with this stock???
