1 word for you AZ Phoenix Locals .... TIMNEY. Customer service is awesome, and they build a really decent trigger for the $$. Don't waste your time sending it back to Remington ... at least I wouldn't do it.

Note to self ... Venison Roast that is brined, injected with Apple Juice, rubbed with Sweet Bourbon Rub, peppered, basted with apple cider vinegar/olive oil and bbq sauce/yellow mustard mix, then smoked and wrapped with bacon is DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smoked it at 300 for an hour, wrapped it and cooked in a puddle of juice for about an hour, then wrapped with bacon and went to 145-150 degrees. It was like butter!!!!! Now I am getting a beer and relaxing.

You will see better accuracy out of a non-belted case (the 7mm is belted), or so they say. If you want a hot rod, you will pay for it with less longevity. The 6.5/284 is nice ... like Nut said, less barrel life than a .284. I like the Ackley stuff if you are going to hand load. You get a little more juice than the standard round, but not too much more powder getting there. As to actions, you can certainly look into Stiller, Surgeon, Badger, McMillan, and some others. All based on the Remington, but with all the tweaks already done (true/square/lapped/M16 Extractor/etc.). You will pay for them though ..........

Uh ... sideways ... just turn your head I guess.............

The deer meat is now on the rack........

Thanks for the tip. I'll do that.

What a bunch of DOPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll need to get a more fuel efficient car to hit your neck of the woods Snap!!!

Pretty good for a first try.

I cheated and sampled ..... DOGGONE those are gonna be good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone ever try injecting a roast with honey water (heat water and dissolve honey in it)???

Just a drum smoker with a side heat box. Got it cheap ... been used 3x prior to me getting it. Doing the 2 - 2 - 1 method and basting a lot. Had trouble getting temp down ... most of the time around 250. Into the second hour of the wrapped time in 10 minutes. Looked really good before they were wrapped. I will try smoking the deer on lower than normal heat I think. Injecting with apple juice ... maybe I should inject some FAT too!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA.

Coues are small ... 308Nut has some very sound advice. There are plenty of non-magnum calibers that you can reach out and touch with. And if you will double it for Mulies, you can add a bunch more to the list ... the '06 family and all it's Ackley derivatives for example. Remy's and Savages are probably the actions with the most aftermarket support if you decide to build. I am a Winchester guy myself, but I acknowledge that the support market is slimmer with the Flat Bottom Mauser Extraction actions.

How does this compare to the HS-LR?

Man ... that is a STEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I needed a .300 I'd be on that.

Stuff in Torreon is selling for a third or less than what folks bought it for several years back.

Try Phoenix Custom Rifles in Tempe. I've heard they are great from many members on here.

It isn't unbelievable ... it is typical politician BS. Show me an honest politician and I'll show you someone who is BRAND NEW to the job and hasn't had the time to start being corrupted by the system. This country was founded by people who understood that "public service" was a duty, not a career. The men (they were all men back then) in those days had lives and careers outside of the political arena, and didn't serve for life. Look at Charlie Rangle ... 40 years now in the House. That is 20 times the people in New York have elected a lying, tax cheating SCUMBAG to screw them over some more. And where has it gotten them ... NO WHERE. Meanwhile ol' Charlie has gotten rich and fat. This government needs term limits. Not only for Congress ... for the Supreme Court too. Appointed for Life is BS. Ryan was right for ripping the IRS, but he's a D-Bag just like the rest of the career Washingtonians. Give 'em all the boot I say ... start by impeaching Dumbo and go on from there.

If that is the case, I don't think you have a valid Title for the bike. Have you had MVD run the VIN on the bike?

How did Nugent put it .... "I'll either be in jail or dead."

The whole lot in the IRS needs to be charged with whatever they can think of (fraud, perjury, obstruction, etc.) and should be put away for a VERY long time.

I am sure when they ask him about it, he will have "found out about it while watching the news" ... just like every other darned thing that is controversial in his Administration. The man is a disgrace to this Nation and to the Office he holds.

I'll vote for him ... anytime.

My '06 needed a Transmission at about 205K ... then some Transfer Case work at 276K. Engine still running strong though.
