Need Help Purchasing "Primary" Hunting Rifle
rpowell600 posted a topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Need help purchasing a solid primary rifle that I can keep for many hunting seasons. I currently have been using a Remington 700 in .308 sitting in a Magpul Hunter with a Vortex Viper thats right around 10 pounds if I remember right. And while I havent had issues with it, I want to purchase a left handed model and I have been hearing that Remington's QC has been going to shoot which is shying me away from a new one. I wouldn't mind losing a pound but I dont want too light as I like more mass to help steady at longer ranges. I will use the new rifle for big game from Javis to Elk. I want to stay with 308 or maybe venture into 6.5CM. Also not particularly a fan of laminate stock and well aware I may need to purchase a replacement stock on a factory rifle. Any information is much appreciated. Thanks! -

Just ordered the Tikka T3X Superlite in 6.5CM. I have been hearing nothing but good out of that rifle. Thanks for all of the comments! Now to sell one of my 700's to make room 😁 -

Also, 400-500 yards is a good max for my shooting abilities to reliably place an ethical shot. -

Im comfortable with $1000 or less. Ive had the Ruger American and it felt extremely cheap. It shot for sure but I didnt like the tuperware feeling. Im looking into the Tikka T3X superlite (I know I said I didnt want too light lol) and with the scope It should be a decent balance with the soft recoil of the 6.5 vs 308 (recoil to weight ratio). -

Last summer I went out fishing and decided to bring back a LMB to pan fry. I love eating whole pan fried perch, catfish fillets, and typical store bought fish (tilapia, rock fish, cod). Well, a little after eating both fillets of bass I started to become very itchy on my arms and chest. If I remember right I had a sneezing fit too. Now, I've ate fish all my life including seafood without issue except for bass. Last year was my first time eating that. Is it possible to be allergic to only one type of fish? The bass was delicious and they are a blast to catch. Ill admit Im kind of afraid to try it again lol.
-
Yea I kind of figured. I dont have any allergies of any sort and healthy overall. Im stumped and definitely dont want to experience anaphylaxis. I can touch bass without feeling any sort of itchiness like I have been reading which makes me wonder.

I have a tag in 23 and didnt some prescouting on the ground and noticed the area is full of cattle grazing unless you get to higher altitude. I was under the impression that javelina stay down low in the desert areas but Im only seeing signs of cattle. Will they not be where cattle are at? Or should I focus on more wash areas with dense growth instead of rolling hills and canyons? Was just up there on opening day when the snow was thick and only saw cattle and deer tracks and we covered several miles on foot. Im NOT trying to internet scout but looking for tips to help lead me to finding javelina.

Thanks guys! I have real high hope Ill get it done this weekend 👍

Well I went to a different area in 23 and I found their base camp lol. I was out today (after yesterday’s all day rain) and found 4 javelina cutting across my path in the thick desert about 40 yards from me. I attempt to follow them and lose them about 10 minutes into the stalk. I find myself on this very small hillside and I stop for water. Not 2 minutes later I hear rustling coming from where I just walked. 2 more javelina are seen trotting for just a few seconds before disappearing in the nasty cat claw infested desert. Seems I found their highest in between a big open hillside and a fairly wide and long wash. In the wash I found multiple sets of tracks of javelina, and deer, going each way imaginable. I followed one set of tracks and it led me to 2 more javelina and again I lose them in the brush. I hunted hard all day and after the last sighting (10am or so) I only saw tracks. I’ll be sure to do the same thing I did early next weekend. The first sighting this morning was about 730am and they seemed to not notice me but were on a mission. I found it odd that with the exception of a few pads of prickley pear gone there wasn’t more signs of them eating cactus. This area also did not have any cattle this time. Also, I found this scat in a few different spots on this particular hillside. What is it of?

Thats not a bad deal at all. I ended up going to grabagun and waiting for my M&P45 2.0 compact to arrive. $406 shipped.

Manual or Auto?

Just looking over the leftover tag list and they only list the hunt number but no dates for those specific hunts. How do we determine the dates for those hunts before we put in applications for OTC tags? I would hate to buy a tag and not know the date until after I purchase one and cant make the hunt due to work. Thanks in advance!
