Shells are sticking in the chamber? The extractor is now cheap metal injection molded on newer guns (at least 2013 and on bc I had a buddy with the same problem). You can buy solid steel extractors. Is it with a particular shell or all types?

Interested? I've got plenty of feedback on this site and others

I did well in the brushy bottoms with the lowest end foxpro. It didn't put out quite as much volume as I wanted for open country so I went up to a larger model- now called the Banshee.

Id check with marsupial gear- pretty sure he has a size that'll fit 15s. Make an offer on the set up guys- it's gotta go.

These are sized generally for the 10x with 40mm+/- objective lens. Sorry.

Google "around the neck hearing protection" Lots of companies make some that are a hard plastic U with foamies on the end that stay around your neck perfect when you're hunting. Cost 3-4 bucks. A brake will certainly make a world of difference. If your gonna have a factory rifle threaded and add a brake make sure the diameter at the muzzle will support the thread pitch you want.

Dad passed down his Bushnell Spacemaster this Christmas! It is a 25x eyepiece and 60mm OBJ. The model # appears to be 78-1800. Initial google search seems to show that guys used these with a 15-45x eyepiece or they mounted two with fixed magnification together to make some big eyes. Having issues finding other eyepieces or even another spotter with the dual mount. Any ideas besides eBay? Thanks!

Got my hands on 3 more Rem 783- all in .270 and all with factory 3-9x40 scopes. They are going to be given to 3 lucky vets on a deer hunt here in TX in JAN. I took apart all 3 and cleaned them, properly remounted the scopes and adjusted the triggers down slightly. As they came out of the box all were in good shape but the scope mounting and torque on the action screws varied wildly from rifle to rifle. I torqued the action screws to 45in/lb and scope rings to 20. I boredighted then and hit the range today with the $19.99 Winchester Deer SeasonXP 130gr. They dialed in quickly. The limiting factor in the equation was the scope. Even at 100yd the glass was not great and it was difficult to focus. The large, thick crosshair made Precision difficult. My 783 .308 with a Prostaff Nikon was night and day difference. Here are the best groups of the day all 3 shot consistently. There was some shooter error but they all got at or under 1. Here is my 783 .308 with a Nikon and Hornady factory 168gr Amax. Looks like pics got rotated a little.

Is 1500 rounds an expected barrel life from a sporter weight barrel in 300wm? Maybe it is just fouled up and needs a good scrubbing with something that will remove the copper? If it really is shot out then I would give the folks at Pac-Nor a call. I've had two of their barrels that shot great. AND- I sent them a M70 and for the price of the barrel, truing the action and chambering/installing the barrel it was way less than your $1000+ mark. The turn around time was not fast.... but it was done right and it looks/shoots great. Mine was a 7RM that is now a .338wm.

I hope those guys slip up and get caught and you can get your gear back!! File the police report and def check your insurance. I had a rude surprise too when I found out there were limitations on my policy for firearms and optics. I had to add a rider to my policy as well. Since then I keep an excel document with serial numbers, make and model of everything of value-- scopes, binos, guns and I have pics of them in there and the serial numbers as well just for that reason. We will all be keeping an eye out on other forums!!

I didn't like the interface on the 1600B-- I like the Leupold 1200tbr that I have right now but I find the glass is a bit dark. I'm going to Cabelas soon to take a look at the Sig 2200 that is on sale and decide between those two. Don't pay more than $250 for a new Leupold-- they are on sale several times a year at Cabelas-- like right now.

x2 on Savage LRH First 'long range' rifle I ever bought was a Savage 111LRH in 6.5x284--- fantastic rifles--- no need for extra $$ on bedding, trigger, muzzle brake. I believe they are offered in 7mm Rem Mag and 300win mag but not the RUM cartridges. Hard to beat them for the money!

I killed two bucks this year with the factory Barnes LRX 7RUM-- 145gr @3350, 26" Proof Sendero Lite. 127 yards bang flop 411 yards bang flop Neither bullet recovered, exit wounds were slightly larger than a fully expanded bullet.

following this-- just picked up a Kimber 84l 280ai... Anyone use or have data on 150gr Swift Scirocco?

Haha, very true, I'm used to measuring my distance metric for everything but MOA/IPHY makes the most sense to me when it comes to ballistics. Probably much to the disdain of my fellow artillerymen!

Got my hands on a Remington 783 .308 about two weeks ago. It has a 4-12x Nikon ProStaff scope and the factory base/rings. I have to say that I have a very positive overall impression of this rifle and wanted to share the limited experience I've had with it. I got my hands on it the night before a hunt (not optimal I know). Let's start with the most important part- accuracy. Accuracy- The rifle was cleaned but unfired and the scope had been mounted and bore sighted by a gunsmith before I got my hands on the rifle. I didn't get to check torque on the rings/base/action screw or anything. Went to 25m, fired one shot from a front bag only, made some slight adjustments, second shot, now windage correct. Move back to 50m, third shot, windage correct, elevation still slightly low. Move back to 100m, shots 4-6 all 1", slightly low. Make elevation correction (wanted 1.5" high at 100m), two shots almost touching. Move back to 150m and hit soda can size tannerite target. Ready to go. 2hrs later in the stand, 1 shot, 1 doe, 125m, bang flop. Couldn't have been more impressed with how well the rifle shot given the conditions and one half of a box of ammo. Found out later they do pillar bed the plastic stock. Ammo- was 150gr Hornady American Whitetail Soft Point. Trigger- Unadjusted, slightly heavy but very shootable. Reminds me of an accu-trigger given the style. Once I get it adjusted I will amend the review. Aesthetics- Nice looking rifle, the stock feels much nicer than the comparable models (Axis, Ruger American, XPR), weight is slightly heavier than I expected from the look. Not crazy about the small ejection port. The 4rd detachable magazine fed flawlessly (other guys were shooting different ammo and had no issues either), replacements are $27 so don't lose it. The front sling attachment is molded in- it fits a standard Claw sling with no issue but not a Harris bipod at least that I could figure out. Probably need to drill a standard swivel stud in somehow. Overall- Couldn't be more pleased and I'm not sure you can beat that bang for the buck (under $500 total). Definitely want to tinker with bipod attachment, trigger pull and some different ammo to see just how accurate this rifle can get. This rifle might well push my Remington 700 .270 I bought before the season as my 'all purpose' rifle, out of the safe!!

Siwash --- great buyer, quick payment and communication!!
