willhunt4coues Report post Posted October 14, 2013 I will be using my Howa M1500 .308 Axiom stock, with Valdada 6-24x56 scope, Valdada Rings and EGW 20 MOA base. Shooting IMR 4895 42.8 grains with Berger 168 VLD at 2610 fps. Shot out to 600 yards this last weekend at a soda pop can and nailed it. I just added the G7 BR2 Rangefinder to my addition. Hoping to have a 800 to 900 yard shot this year on a monster that we spotted this last weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double lunger14 Report post Posted October 15, 2013 More than likely I'll be using my mathews next week on my hunt, but if all else fails I got my 7mm Ultra Mag (left) or my 270 (right) to choose from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CWpredator Report post Posted October 15, 2013 Gotta love all the gun porn! .338 Lapua Stiller TAC 338 action, Krieger barrel, Jewell trigger, McMillian A5 stock, Seekens extended box mag, NightForce 5.5-22x56 Hopefully find one to feed the 300grains of strong medicine to. Gun is 18lbs so she's a little rough to carry but if it wears me out the trusty old mountain weight 300WM will make an appearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scooter Report post Posted October 15, 2013 7.62x54R... 1943 Izshevsk Mosin Nagant 91/30 that I have sporterized. Polished the trigger (it is still atrocious), shortened the barrel to 23" with an 11 degree crown, pillar bedded ATI stock, and scout-scoped off of the dovetail after removing the rear sight block. I worked up a decent load at about 2650fps using IMR 4895 and Speer Hot-Cor 150gr SP's in Winchester Brass. It shoots the factory Winchester 180gr soft points (2625fps) just a hair over MOA out to 300yds and the handloads about the same if I do my part. Not a long-range rifle by any means, but it should do the job. -OR- My CVA .50cal with 100gr IMR White Hots and a 240gr Hornady XTP .44cal in a Mag Express Sabot. Good out to 150yds which will be plenty for the deer on-post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rstahl Report post Posted October 20, 2013 Guess I better get in on this! 7mm WSM built by Western Precision Rifle out of Thatcher, AZ. For those of you who haven't heard of Western Precision Rifle you really should check them out. Brent Jacob (owner) is an outstanding guy and builds a rifle that is more accurate than you can imagine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
