I have a Savage Lightweight Hunter in 7mm-08. Love it. Loaded and scoped, it weighs right around 6 lbs.

Im looking for some 50 cal conicals 400 gr or more for my elk hunt. The heaviest I can find are the hornady great plains hp at 385. Google has been letting me down. Im shooting a traditional percussion great plains hunter with the 1-32 in. twist. Thanks.

Are you sure they can shoot on sight or does the wolf have to be harassing or killing their animals? It has to be actively harrassing or killing livestock. They can however kill your pet and you can't do anything about it. Their use of the term "livestock" can be pretty blurry too if i remember tight Greyghost is correct.

3rd CWT Fun Shoot "Rimfire Roundup" (.22LR Only, 50 Yards)
zackcarp replied to lancetkenyon's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I'm in I could use the practice. -
Mine held up great over the December coues hunt. We got hit with winds up to 50 mph and still flexed and held together. Any other tent would have turned into a death trap.

If your truck can pull it up the mountain you'll find a place to park, guaranteed.

Savage Model 16 7mm-08 Vortex Viper 4-12x40mm 7mm 120 gr. Nosler Ballistic tip over 47.9 gr. Of IMR 4350. -
Would it be possible to create a proposition to counter it?

My neighbor just got his Glock 21 back after 9 years. ATF found it on the other side of the country. It took almost 6 months for him to get it from them.

Savage 16 Lightweight Hunter 7mm-08
zackcarp replied to zackcarp's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I shot a coyote with the 120NBT and was impressed how well it stayed together. I forgot to take a picture of the exit cavity. The 120s apparently have a thicker copper jacket than the 140 NBT. I have read some things about the TTSX and might try them down the road. Kev, the accutrigger is very nice. But it is not a traditional accustock. "To help increase accuracy potential, instead of the AccuStock’s aluminum chassis, this one has dual pillar bedding and it’s backed by a thick, solid rubber recoil pad to take the edge off of hard-kicking loads." That if from the Outdoors review. The stock is VERY light. My wife will be putting in for Elk this next draw. -
So I have been looking at this rifle for my wife, as well as a mountain gun for myself if I need it. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has one to test out for myself. My wife doesn't handle recoil extremely well, shes a novice rifle shooter. The reason for 7mm-08 is she wants to do a cow elk hunt this next year. Im just curious if the savage light weight hunter in 7mm-08 has a solid kick in this light rifle. For reference, my wife finds a 12Ga to be a little too much. Thanks.

Savage 16 Lightweight Hunter 7mm-08

So just an update for anyone looking at the same rifle. I did end up purchasing this rifle and glad I did. I added a Vortex Viper 4-12x40mm, Viper rings, and a leather sling. Total weight loaded is 6.5 lbs. The load I worked for it is 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tips on top of 47.9 grains of IMR 4350 in Hornady brass with Winchester Primers. This group was shooting off my pack prone. I did feel myself pull the bottom right shot. But over all, Im very happy. My wife loves it as well and the recoil is perfect for her. We will see how it does on my December Coues Hunt. This pic is twisted to the 9 o'clock position for whatever reason. -
That's not his mule.I was semi referencing Jeremiah Johnson... A very bad one apparently.
-
I'm going out the week before Christmas and a couple days after.
-
Sooo, Did you notice your mule has 6 legs? Sounds like fun.
-
Redhead ragwool convertible gloves. These are the best I have used. I work out side every day and have the late hunt as well. Only problem is I don't know if they make them anymore.
