If you already have the bottom metal. buying an adl from sportsmans would be the cheapest and easiest I believe.

Red - looks like a Great day.

i have harvested 21 deer and over 250 coyotes with sako .243s. they are awesome.

i have harvested 3 deer , 9 javs , coyotes and foxes with my .357 revolver. no bears. get some experience . you will get your answer.

i have two 6.5-284 my brother has two .264 win mag. they are built on long actions

did you check the stocking schedule? most areas are stocked after april1.

what gun and load did he use? HUGE! wonder it had been eating to grow so big? ron

it is not a sendero they are lighter

prices-fox? bobcat? coyote? beaver?

6.5-284 is a great round if you handload.

Initially that was the direction I was leaning. That or a savage lrh. My only issue with a Remington long range is the weight and recoil. I'd like it in 300 win mag. To cut weight I'd want to get the barrel and maybe even the bolt fluted. To combat recoil I'd want to get a muzzle brake installed. I figure I'd have to put in +/- $500. Now I'm at $1200ish. That's why I was wondering if I should start with the rifle in question and down the road replace the barrel and stock? I'm as green as can be at long range shooting/hunting so all opinions are welcome! CODY- you do not say if you reload. for coues a 25-06 or a 7mm rem ( with 140 loaded to 3100fps) plenty no need for a brake. for long range weight is an advantage. if weight is that much of a consideration, save and get a sendero.( guns last a long time) i read some where remington is going to make it in . 264 for 2016 too

entry level long range rifle. Remington 700 long range. 25-06 or 7mm mag. 699 or less.

nice shooting. what load did you use?

I like a little more power for coues they are small challenging targets, so the 5-22 scope. . the cartridges are similar. I would use a 140 berger or a 120 ballistic tip.

for sure i would put a 2.5-8 leup on it. ( at least a 2-7 leup) they are light and clear. 3-9 compact too and shoot it.

the new powders Imr 7977, and Re26 look good in other cartridges. i would like to try them, but there is no data yet for .257 .

i only have 16 rounds through my .257. i have not chronod yet. are you using fed 215 primers? Imr 7828 shows the highest velocity in the nosler manual. I asked a guy on 24hourcampfire about loading .257, he has three. He said that according to Weatherby they use Re-22/Mrp in their factory ammo.

what rifle?? PM sent.

it appears you need a quide for quail as well.

Brooks- a coyote is a small challenging target. great shooting. Ron

what shotgun and load do you use?

any snow here?

Nice. looks warmer there than flag today. we all enjoyed it with you. ron

sendero and start reloading

HNTN- for me the "choice" made rifle is more important than the caliber choice. ron
