What reticle?

I have access to a 300 already so I opted to go back to 257 weatherby. Some day a nice 300 something might have to get built though for 600+ shooting.

The 7 shot is the 686+. One of my favorite wheel guns of all time.

So much want, but with everything going on I can't...good deal. Someone will snap this up.

Do what is mentioned above. 1. Check all action, rail, and scope screws and test it. 2. Send the scope back and check it once you get the new one. 3. Have a Smith check the muzzle crown and test it. 4. Sell it. If you get all the way to step 4 you are probably going to be so frustrated and tired of this rifle you wont want to figure out what is wrong with it.

Frys is limiting certain items like milk, eggs, water products, etc. Ammo and guns seems to be the run of today though from what I hear. I almost went to the gun store, but decided not to partake in the stupidity.

Got 1 for the rifles and 1 for the traeger...

I am looking to buy a left hand 22lr for my son. Savage has some stuff on the new market, but I figured I would check to see if anyone here had anything available first. It doesn't have to be savage. I am interested in anything lefthand 22lr. What do you have?

He is going to be 8, but he is larger then the average 8 year old. He shoots my dads 10-22 well, but doesn't like getting hit by the brass as he shoots it lefty.

Be prepared for 60 degree days and 0 degrees with snow. It can be anything in between. Be ready for the wind too. The cold sucks, but the wind multiplies the suck. I have hunted across the road in 7E several times with mixed results and mixed weather. Get familiar with the area and find the areas of refuge. On that hunt the elk are just trying to stay alive and will hide in the nastiest spots to get away from people.

Camofire had a bunch of crispi boots on sale today for 30% off...

I like the area too. I hope lowering tags there will help bring it back though. It has been tough for awhile.

Crispi. I love mine. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I own.

Still nothing...

Who wrapped it?

The 7-08 will dump a bull no problem with proper bullet placement and proper bullet type at reasonable ranges.

I have a good old heavy duty cross flow smoker I dont need anymore. I will give it to whomever wants it and WILL USE IT. it isn't in great shape aesthetically but it works. With smoke TLC it will be good to go. I even have a can of high temp black spray paint you can have with it. Located in Peoria near 75th and Peoria.

Gone. Nice to meet you hynoon.

Spoken for Pending pickup by hynoon.

I ordered a 1:8 twist. I have killed a cow elk with the 115gr berger in this rifles original barrel with no problem, so if the perform like Bergers I am ok with that. I am going to try hammers too, and I have Bergers left from the current barrel. One of the 3 bullets should shoot well. I dont plan to make it my primary bull elk rifle, but I want it to be an option if i had to. I have larger calibers for bull elk.

Up to what size? Deer , elk, etc?

I asked blackjack about the HTR bullet they mentioned on the website and they said that bullet is on hold because the ACE was knocking things dead all the way up to elk. I am looking for some real world stuff though. I think I am going to try blackjack, hammer, and berger when I get my rifle finished and see what shoots best.

Nada here, but expect as such since we drew last year.

A kid I knew when I was young killed his first javelina with a 22 mag.

I wont talk bad about Berger bullets, but shot placement is key. I have killed 2 cow elk with Bergers, and watched 2 others go down from them too. None of them have exited, but most were smaller calibers. 257 weatherby and 6.5x55. I will say I would not shoulder shoot elk with Bergers, and I have started looking at other bullets for elk, especially if I get a bull tag. I have been looking towards Barnes TTSX, and I plan to try some Hammers.
