Normally I would say 7-08 for sure but I wouldn't move up if the recoil of the 243 is too much. A well placed 100 gr bullet is far more deadly than a poorly placed 140 gr.

If the Swarovski STX is within your budget I wouldn't even consider any other spotter! There is a couple higher end scopes I haven't got the chance to look through but I've used quite a few and haven't seen anything that was even remotely close to the STX.

The only rifle I know of chambered for either that's not an AR would be the Nosler M48 in 22 Nosler. It's a higher end bolt gun. You could pick up a H&R in 223 and easily have it rechambered to either, but your back at the twist issue. Also a break style single shot with the fore end hanging off the barrel wouldn't likely be as accurate as a quality free floated bolt gun. If I were going to build a fast twist in either cartridge I would build off a Rem. 700.

Not in the valley but I know someone in cordes jct that does beautiful work.

I want video of that vapor trail!! I love seeing it! I'm not the greatest at video or pics but ill sure try. My last one got to watch a coyote fall at 350 and another at 980 yds also a coues at 600 watched all impacts in the scope. Awesome when you hunt alone and don't have the luxury of a spotter.

The 224 Valkerie is a 22 Nosler shortened to allow longer bullets to be seated and still fit in an ar magazine. If your running a bolt gun or a single shot there is no advantages. 22 Nosler will do the same thing 100 fps faster. I'm building a 22-250 Ackley with a 6.5 twist heavy varmint contour barrel. 15 lb rifle launching the 95 gr Sierra matching @ 3200 fps. Running the numbers on Shooter the bullet should stay super sonic to almost 2200 yds and from a rifle you can watch the vaper trail in the scope.

You would want a 223 but if your just wanting to rechamber a factory rifle you won't find one with a 1 in 7 twist. You can get .224 7 twist barrels from Krieger, Bartlein, and Douglas.

I use a 20v DeWalt lantern and charge the battery on an inverter in my truck during the day. Super bright lasts all night and not always buying batteries.

I've busted a couple coyotes with my 375 H&H. Not a pelt gun!

I have used Winchester brass with great success, that is until about two years ago also bought cases that had cracks dents etc generally horrible looking qualities. Not sure which way to go now. Lapua, Nosler, Norma, Remington in that order. Some are more expensive but it pencils out when you get over 20 firings from Lapua and have to cull 1/4 to 1/2 of the lot of Winchester by the 2nd loading.

I have seen military 30-06 brass sized to 270. I believe the neck stretches a little when sizing. The Winchester brass I've been getting lately has been absolutely horrible! Weight differences of up to 10 grains in 50 pcs.and I've found a lot cracks in necks and shoulders. Didn't use to be that bad.

Too funny, man!!!! I thought I was the only one!! Nope I've done it too!

Those Marlin 22 mags are way accurate for a cheap rimfire! Mine will shoot in the .6's at 100 yds with the 30 gr v- max.

I would get him on a 22-250 or something like that something that has a little recoil and muzzle blast then a 243 or 410. The jump from a 22 to a 20 ga is huge if you move up gradually it won't be such a surprise to find out about recoil.

A Jon but would prefer a v hull. The v hulls tend to stay a little straighter when trolling mine is plenty stable but you pretty much have to keep a hand on the motor at all times.

Like others have said I wouldn't go under 12 and a 14 is a ton better! My 14 will move pretty well with a 40lb thrust motor and is way more stable than the smaller boats I've had.

Or 2 or 3 in each cartridge! Otherwise what are you supposed to do when one gets hot? Wait? Just a silly waste of time!

None of them are a perfect one size fits all. With that said, if your only going to have one I just don't think it matters. P?Just pick one between .270 and .338 I honestly think bullet selection and how you set the rifle up are far more important than the cartridge. With the quality of bullets and scopes the advantages some cartridges had over others has closed up a ton.

That VX-6 3-18 in the classifieds would be the one I would go with it's a couple hundred more than the ones in your list but we'll worth it.

Went to an outdoor expo in Rapid City SD about a month ago. They had several utv's with fully enclosed cabs, crank windows, ac/heater, windshield wipers, and all. Seems like the best of all world's but about $18,000 to get one.

I've seen them on stuff in Sycamore canyon that you wouldn't think they could have gotten to.

Good deal for a model 12 in 16 ga! Don't think I've ever seen one for under twice that.

I haven't been seeing the quality of bucks I'm use to. Also last year I saw more Doe's without a Fawn than ever before. The last 3 years I've also noticed alot more predators. Watched a Bobcat try to run down a Fawn last year.

Honestly, I can't. I've been entrenched so deeply in the "don't give an inch" camp for so long, it's really hard to separate. Most of the objections I've seen and heard here are arguments I have made in the past. From my perspective, this thing IS going to be big, and it will be a major factor in the next election cycle. The "right", GOP, NRA and gun owners have always been on the defensive. The way I see it, if we're going to be defending 2A, we also have to own that space. We know the facts, laws, every bit of reasoning that goes into defending gun owner rights. If we are on the offensive, doing things that make sense, we have more credibility than the reactive crowd who has zero knowledge. In my opinion, we have way more power than they do when we flex our intellectual muscle and bring forth facts rather than emotion. But we can't step up to the table with an all or nothing proposal. Just to be clear, what I've proposed is an extension of what is already law. 18 year olds are already prohibited by state and federal law from buying a hand gun. Those who are challenging the ideas I've proposed, have never come out in support for lowering the legal age to buy hand guns. The idea that they are somehow defending their life or liberty with a rifle is beyond absurd. What I'm saying is that we either own the gun ownership rights debate and police it internally, or we will have some left-wing dip-**** force it on us under their uninformed ideology. And that's a VERY bad thing for us all. We have always been on the defensive and we always will be! This is a fight, and it always will be! The opposition is not going to give in or give up! They won't quit when the legal age to buy a long gun is 21. They won't quit when they have outlawed ar-15s,or semi autos, or handguns. They will quit when they have won, and taken away our guns completely! Look how far they have pushed in Chicago, and D.C. and they haven't quit and they haven't changed anything for the better. Mexico has outlawed guns it hasn't stopped people from killing people. This has to be all or nothing! If we give an inch anywhere the other side is not going to thank you for being willing to bend! They are going to mark it as a win and find another way to attack! By giving in on any level we will be adding precedence and sharpening the knife they intend to shove in our back! I for one am in favor of lowering the hand gun age back to 18. If they are a legal adult in good legal standing they should have the right to buy a handgun. You say you want to base this on facts and intelligent thought? Ok. Where are the results? Where has gun control worked? We have plenty of examples and no positive results. If you want to keep your guns the only way is to stand and fight and tell the other side they can't have them! If we want to do something about kids getting killed at school taking away one form of weapon won't do it! They will just find another way. Any one of these shooters could have just simply drove a car through a bunch of kids waiting for the bus. We have to go after the real cause of the problem, that's the little chit bags that are causing the problem. With the Florida shooters background he shouldn't have been able to pass a background check. He should have been in jail! He had been let off the hook time and time again until it bit us really hard. If we keep letting them off the hook they are going to keep bitting us!

Personally I would only use that barrel for a custom light weight 300 Wsm. The big magnums are alot more pleasant when they are in excess of 12lbs.
