    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...

    Question-260 accuracy

    Acquired a Model Seven stainless 260 recently. Gun appears to have been shot very little. Cleaned the bore very good and mounted a scope. Carried to the range today to sight in and check grouping. Second and third shots impact together but away from the first shot by a couple of inches. Shot...

    Synergy insoles

    Anybody ever tried the High Country Synergy insoles sold by Lathrop & Sons? I have a pair of Mendle boots I purchased in 2013 ($240) for a hunt in Montana. They are my go to boots now and I have noticed that my feet hurt a little now after wearing them all day. They are not nearly wore out. The...

    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?

    Free to a good home

    I have a custom dial for a Leupold VX-3 with CDS. This dial came with the scope I purchased used but has never been installed on the scope. This was the free dial that you could order when you buy the scope. Does not fit my need. I have listed specs below. Caliber = 300 RUM Bullet = 180 gr...

    Leupold VX-3 4.5 x 14 CDS

    Just bought one of these from a local forum member for $475.00 LNIB never mounted. Anyone have one of them. I have been wanting to step up a notch on my glass and thought this was a good deal as the cheapest I could find a new one was $599.00.

    Cabelas Gun Library?

    I am looking at a used rifle at a Cabelas store. Will they negotiate off their asking price? Any of you members purchased a used gun from Cabelas?

    AR Upper?

    I acquired a Bushmaster CMP XM15-E2S in the late 90's. It has a 20" Crome lined 8/1 twist 1" target barrel on it. Came with a weight to place inside the stock butt to balance the rifle. Problem is it weighs 14 lbs. I would like to buy a flat top upper for it. Questions: will my bolt fit another...

    Loved my Montana hunt.

    My son and I were invited to hunt some private land in Carter County this past year. The Box Elder Creek ran through this property. We saw more whitetail deer in one day there than we will see in a season in NE Mississippi. We both killed good bucks while there. The people in Ekalaka were very...

    Question from new by???

    My son and I will be hunting deer in Montana in a few weeks. We will be 1,500 miles from home. Two questions. 1) I have been told that Mule deer meat is not as tasty as whitetail. Is it and is it worth boning out and hauling home versus donating it locally? 2) if we are lucky enough to score on...

    Minox MD 50 & Vortex High Country tripod.

    After reading a lot of reviews and forums I pulled the trigger on the angled Minox MD 50 and the Vortex High Country tripod. I think this will be fine for my November deer hunt in Montana. My first scope and tripod purchase. I hunt Whitetails in Mississippi and don't really need a spotter down...

    Wolf tag or not?

    I will be hunting in SE Montana this fall. The area is 705 around Ekalaka. What's the chance of seeing a wolf on this area? Should I buy a tag? Thanks in advance.

    Hunting SE Montana this fall.

    My son has a friend who owns some property in the Ekalaka area and has invited us to hunt this fall. We have applied for our license and are very hopeful. We will be coming the first or second week in November. Would like to ask which week is usually better as far as the Whitetail rut goes? Also...
