awesome pics. what rifle??

the gun is more important than the caliber. the barrel is most important. the us army markmanship unit uses a rem 700 300 wm for 1000 yard competition

the gun is more important than the caliber.

ClintH- i usuaully carry those inexpensive puffs in my pockets to put in my ears. i don't get drawn that much so one or two shots a year in the field at big game. . i shoot my whitetaile rifle at lot of f-class matches and i believe that is a great way to tune your rifle and yourself. i have never shot against a .270 or a 257r. 30-06 and 260, and 308 are common though.

deserthhnt- my experience with the 300wm is diefferent for yours. the us army marksmanship unit shoots the 300 wm in rem 700 for their 1000 yards matches. it is a very accurate round. my m70 shot .27, .31 and .35 @ 100 yards last time took it to the range, my son in law shot a 15 shot group at 1000yards with my sendero you could cover with sheet or notebook paper . with the muzzle breaks they kick less thana 257 roberts. the 300 wm has a lot of good bullets and brass( norma, lapua , nosler , rws) available. you handload it down to 3000 fps with a 168cbt and take anything; yet kick less than a 243. i shoot in f-clss matches at both rio salado and ben avery with my coues rifle. i feel it is a good way to wring it out. i have shot agaisnt savages, surgeon , bat and some others, never a ruger. never a .270 or a 257r. young - i always say the gun is more important than the caliber. the 300 wm is plenty for me. roninflag

no. i would get either a .257 weatherby accumark witha 26 inch barrel and add a vais. or i would get remington 700 sedero in either 7mm ot 264 mag and add a vais.

if the .257 came with a 26 inch barrel i would have one already.

YOUNGBUCK- my 7mm shoots everything good; especially the 168 bergers. i use h-4831 in it. nosler brass. either 9.5m or wlrm primers. my brothers 300 rums required a little more work. he uses a lot of re-25 , nosler brass and 180 accubond; 215m primers. you don't say what rifles . there is more info on longrangehunting.com and 24hourcampfire too.

the area where wolves are a problem have declining elk herds and other problems. our elk herd is expanding. when you shoot a cow elk it is almost like shooting three elk. in az we shoot a LOT of cow elk. also the wolves in az besides few in number; are not as very good at catching their own wild meals. historically they were mostly loners and preyed on coues. the ones on idaho, montana , wyo are way different.

dollie parton turkeys?

do they taste better than merriams??

reloadersnest and longrangehunting are other sources. my brother uses re-25 and h-1000 in his .264 . older guns- my sakos from 1966 are unbelieveable. the triggers , barrels/accuracy, wood to metal fit. 46 years and they do not make factory rifles like that.

thanks.! i let my rib roasts get to 124 and 131. good . shooting for 117-118 next time though.

CHEF- my son( utah) went to oklahoma for the holidays with his new bride to the in- laws ranch. they have wild pigs, whitetaile deer and turkey ( not sure if they a rio or eastern) on the ranch. the pigs are considered vermin and left . i told him to shoot one of each including the pigs. they are better than the deer and turkey. what say ye??

all i have is "non stick' PANS can i still sear it in that??

Reminder could not come at as better time of year. thanks . roniflag

there were BUNCH OF big bucks shot this year. they don't know every buck and guides are less than that. pm me if you get drawn. do not put in for whitetail. if you want pick up a left over that is what i do.

a browning with a boss or muzzle break would be awesome. my brother has great results with all of his.

i wanna hear the story on the first buck . what gun? how far. what unit? ect. awesome!!!

what kind of 257??

deserthtn - what round are you shooting ? at what?

if you hold em i will check the gender. with cats you need to be real close to tell. same with bears more or less. females have a smaller "home" range which is still quite large. 10 to 50 mi

if i was putting the time and money to get a barrel installed i would a get a krieger or equivalent

looks like very rough country. very nice ram!!

three of us hunted in 36b on the early rifle hunt. saw no illegal immigrants. we all carry a remington senderos good to over 1000 yards. NO ONE would shoot over our heads. i did not feel threatened. saw a lot of border patrol though. 2 out of three got a buck. coues are a fairly small and challenging target.
