    Meindl insoles

    Thinking about replacing the insoles in my Meindl Perfekt Hikers with the Meindl brand insoles. Anyone done this? Some reviews say to order a size smaller and some say to order the size you have. Any experience appreciated.

    Which caliber?

    I am an Eastern hunter coming west this fall to hunt Elk. I own a Browning A-Bolt in 308 caliber and a Tikka Super Lite in 7RM. Both are scoped with VX3i 4.5 x 14 x 40. While I would feel confident with either I would like opinions on which you would consider the best option, which bullet and...

    I may be crazy but I could not help myself. I have three Model Seven and one Savage 16 in 260 Remington caliber. A guy heard I liked the caliber and came by with an A-Bolt II in the caliber today and I bought it. Only the second one I have seen in an A-Bolt. Now all four grandchildren and I have...

    Tikka question

    I looked at a new Tikka at the local gun shop today. I went in wanting to put my hands on a T3 Lite in 300WM stainless. They did not have one but had a T3 stainless in 7RM with fluted barrel and Camo stock. The clerk said it was a "Shot Show Special". I knew that Tikka sold their "Super Lite"...

    Rifle range direction?

    I have a property that I am going to set up a 200 yard range on. Although I don't have limitless options, I can set it up directionally somewhat. Looking North, looking South? Consider predominant wind direction? I am in Mississippi at approximately 475' altitude if that would make a difference...

    I have an itch for another rifle. Thinking 7mm Rem Mag, 300 WM or 300 WSM. Rifle would be stainless/synthetic. Looking at Browning X-Bolt and Tikka T3 Lite. Could do a Model Seven in the WSM. What say you and why? Mainly Whitetails.

    Another 260 Rem

    I picked up a Savage Model 16 stainless/synthetic in 260 caliber this weekend. Wasn't really looking for one as I have two Remington Model Sevens on order right now but it was too inexpensive not to buy. Ordered a DNZ Game Reaper mount for it tonight from Optics Planet. Anxious to get a scope...

    Huskemaw Scopes

    I was watching " Best of the West " last night and realized that I have not seen a discussion on the Huskemaw scopes. When scopes of their price range have been discussed it's usually Zeiss, Nightforce and Swaro's. Anyone shooting with this scope or had any experience with it?
