I have a BLR stainless/Mossy Oak brush. Its a 308. It wears a Leupold 2.5-8x36 and is a great gun. I have the itch for something different and have heard good things about JES reboring. I think a .358 would be a cool gun. As would a .338 federal. Any experience with JES?

As I stated above I inspected several Remlingtons and 2 had crooked sights. I usually pull the sights off anyway but I am with others who are thinking "what else is wrong?" with this gun. I ended up spending considerably more on a Ruger 77/22 Stainless/Synthetic in 22 wmr but the quality j...

I'm thinking you lucked out. Was in a gun shop looking at bolt action 22 mags. They had 3 Remlins. 2 had crooked sights and the third had an action that felt like it had gravel in it and was very difficult to close. Ended up buying a Ruger 77/22 stainless/synthetic in 22 wmr.

I was 1.

Federal still makes several versions of their Gold Medal target load with paper hulls. I buy a flat now and then when I want to hunt birds with my Beretta sxs 12 ga. Just something about a double and paper shells.

Great all around choke. Ive killed a ton of geese with 3" Steel BB and IC choke.

I shoot a lot of Michigan deer and my last 2 put together didnt weigh that much!

375hh1973

Not much in the way of recoil at all. Had plugs AND muffs on so wasnt too loud either. Im sure that I will feel differently when I drop the hammer on a coyote or deer when I dont have ears on.

375hh1973

Thanks, Pete. I have heard others talking about how accurate their Encores or Contenders are. Now I am a believer as well. I am looking forward to shooting some deer with the .243, ¼ bore. I was poking around the internet and there are a couple of places where I can order a custom barrel. In keeping...

Finally got a day off without monsoon rains or 60mph wind. Decided it was a good time to see what my TC Encore in .243 would do. Don't have components or dies yet so am shooting some factory stuff I ordered online. The first load is Federal gray box 100gr soft point. The other load I got from Cheape...

Thanks!

Started out with my girlfriend suggesting we go shopping at Cabelas. This has the potential to be a good day!!

The same thing happened to me when I used to use Internet Explorer. After switching to Chrome, the issue went away. Chrome seems a lot faster as well.

Chuck

Shot some ballistol in the barrel and waited 5 minutes. Couple of taps with a rubber mallet and a brass rod and it came right out.

375hh1973

Blaine- So did I until I saw this one. Was actually looking for a SBH Hunter in 41 mag. Clerk in the gun shop said no, its a 45colt. I said thats ridiculous. I went home, got on the internet and researched it. Seems Ruger made a few up for Lipsey's. Not a ton of them out there. Went back to the shop...

375hh1973

Finally had a Saturday off that wasnt freezing cold or crazy windy. Decided to head to the range to shoot my BLR in 308 and also my Ruger SBH Hunter in 45lc. I had a box and a half of some Double Tap .45lc 300 grain @ 1300 I wanted to blast since I have found a more accurate hunting load. I went to ...

375hh1973

I have a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36 on my BLR. Great for close in or shooting across a flat.

I will be using 2 different rifles and a handgun this year depending on where I am hunting. Rifle #1: Winchester M70 extreme weather in 7wsm. Has a Minox 3-15x42 scope. Shooting 160gr nosler accubonds at 3100fps. Will use this when hunting where shots get on the long side... 7mm wsm-10.jpg Rifle #2:...

Legal here in Michigan. I have never ever had an interest in bows and arrows. Not my cup of tea. When they legalized XBows, I thought it looked interesting so I shot a few and got one. Now I hunt in October with my buddies. Shot a couple of does. What it did for me was get me out in the field a few ...

I have a Beretta OU 28 ga. It has done everything I have ever required in an upland gun. Grouse, woodcock, rabbits, and yes doves. Took it to Indiana for the dove opener when I visited a friend who lived there (no dove season here in Michigan) and I had no problem limiting each day. I used Wincheste...

I personally can't stand the taste of coffee but I understand that Starbucks sells deli stuff and bottled water. I will support them on the 14th. It will be the first time I have ever been in one as well, may as well be for a good cause.

375hh1973

I can think of 3: 1. Colt 8" Anaconda .44mag scoped with Leupold 2x. Shot lights out. Killed a bunch of deer out to 100 yds. First hunting pistol. 2. Winchester M94 .356win scoped with Leupold 2.5-8x36. Miss that handy levergun! 3. Winchester M70 ss/syn in .338win. Crazy accurate for out of the...

375hh1973

Went to the range the other day to shoot a few rounds of skeet and afterwards took a walk over by the rifle range. Majority were .30-06 and .270s, a .257 wby, 2 308s, a 7mm rem mag, and a guy blazing away with a .338 win mag. I always like to watch these guys blaze away, sighting in without a proper...

I own a BLR 308 in Mossy Oak Brush camo and stainless steel. Why? Because I like the looks of it. Does it do anything a blue and walnut BLR wont? Absolutely not! Just personal preference. All of my rifles are stainless/synthetic. I like the looks of them. My buddy has all walnut/blue. Why? He likes ...

darn contact lenses must be buggin me again...

375hh1973

I will keep it gun related for the sake of the post! I need another rifle like I need a hole in the head but if Santa Claus dropped off a Winchester M70 extreme weather stainless/synthetic fluted barrel chambered in 7mm wsm with a nice Leupold VX3 4.5-14x40 down the chimney I promise that I will tak...

In no particular order: Beretta DT-10 Trident 32" sporting o/u Merkel SxS .470 nitro Winchester M70 Classic SS/Syn in 7mm STW Nosler M48 Trophy Grade in .280 AI with a Leupy 4.5-14x40 VX3 Armalite AR-10 in .338 federal Guess thats it for now. Just acquired a mint Beretta SxS so the gun budget n...

I have shot the Barnes 210 gr on white tails with good results. I load 77 gr. of RL-15 and get approx. 3000 fps with very good accuracy. This load doesnt recoil a whole lot and is fun to shoot. I have shot several deer in the neck from 75 to 150 yds and they tip over. Its a fun load but Barnes bulle...

375hh1973

5-stand is a lot of fun. I too prefer sporting clays but sometimes I dont have the time for a full round of clays. I shoot a lot of skeet, and when I want to brush up for hunting season I shoot a lot more clays and 5-stand. Ive seen a lot of money change hands among some of the serious competition s...

I have a Browning semi-auto 10ga that I use for goose hunting. Last year I was invited to a farm to shoot some late season geese and had Federal premium 3.5" BBB 1.5 ounce loads. I was standing on the edge of a cut corn field waiting for geese to fly by and a coyote popped out of the woods 45 y...

Anyone here have any experience with Cooper Rifles? Was going to have a rifle built in .280 rem Ackley Improved but then stumbled on Cooper Rifles. After having handled them, they seem fantastic. They have a model called the Jackson Hunter which is stainless/synthetic that just feels superb, that th...

Firearm season started here in Michigan on the 15th. My dad has private land near Baldwin, which is mostly past-prime oak forest, not the greatest deer producing land but opening week is tradition, more about spending time with dad and our hunting buddy, Merlin, than it is about killing deer. When I...

.375 HH of course! Followed closely by .308 and 7mm STW.

375hh1973

Killed a number of deer with a scoped 8" Colt Anaconda shooting factory 240 gr Hornady XTP and also Speer Gold Dot 270 gr ammo. Shots were 35-65 yards. All were one shot kills. Never recovered a bullet, all were pass throughs. Find a decently made bullet that shoots accurately and go kill your ...

375hh1973

Interesting timing of your post. I had the opportunity to shoot one of those .325s at the range last week. I was there shooting my 7mm STW Sako SS/Syn and the guy next to me was shooting a Browning A-Bolt in .325. We started talking during a target-check and I asked him how he liked it. He said that...

375hh1973

I am certainly in the minority here I guess. I shot irons when I had to, qualified with M14. Vowed that if able, would shoot scopes in the future! I currently own 9 rifles. The only one that has any type of irons is my AR-15 which has flip up back ups for the small chance that my EOTECH fails. I lov...

375hh1973

Yeah, been there done that. A number of my rifles are stainless/synthetic. Have Winchester M70 in .375HH, Sako 75 in 7mm STW, TC Omega in 45, and Browning A-Bolt in .25-06. All have Leupold vx-3 scopes. Went to go make some noise with the 7mm STW and get to the range to find my .25-06 in the case. N...

It all sounds great except for the coffee part. I get my caffeine and sugar from good ole Mt. Dew!

Was a manager with Dick's for a few years. My department was hardlines which included among other things, the "Lodge" area. Let me just say as an avid shooter and hunter, it was very depressing working there. It was a constant fight to try to bring in anything cool. If it wasnt something t...

375hh1973

Trade it in for an O/U. Obviously the barrels are on sideways. I have the same problem. Average 24.5 on skeet with O/U but with SxS its a whole different game. Have tried to figure it out a bunch of times. Save yourself the aggravation and get an O/U.

375hh1973

Thinking really hard about getting a Montana Rifles M70 stainless long action and putting together an 8mm remington mag. Always liked the round, it was never very popular. Maybe a 26" stainless Shilen barrel and a McMillan stock. Would be fun to shoot a 200 grain Nosler Accubond at 3200 fps. It...

375hh1973

I had the Saints +4.5 points. I can now afford to build my next project which is gonna be an 8mm Rem mag stainless/synthetic bolt gun. Go Drew Brees!!!!

375hh1973

For doves and ruffed grouse out of my 28 ga Beretta O/U I run 3/4 oz of #7.5 at 1300. Rabbits get 3/4 oz of #5. Ducks get Federal Black Cloud 3" #3 steel. Geese get Federal Black Cloud 3" BB steel. Crows get whatever usually a hi-brass 4 lead...

I have a stainless/camo one in .308. I put a Leupold VX3 2.5-8 on it and it will outshoot most bolt guns. I love the fact that it is stainless/camo, am not afraid to take it in the mud and snow. Very light fast handling gun, I highly recommend it. Those stainless/camo versions were supposedly a spec...

375hh1973

Why bother. Have killed a ton of geese with 3" over the years. Recently have been shooting Federal Black Cloud 3" #3 shot and have been killing geese at 50 yds. Save your money and go shoot more skeet!

This year its gonna be my new BLR in .308 Mossy Oak Brush/stainless with a Leupold 2.5-8x36. The gun shoots Hornady's 150 grain SST loads scary accurate. After rifle season it will be my T/C Omega ss/synthetic in .45. With 110 gr of loose 777 3f and a Hornady 200 gr SST it also is a 200 yard deer-ge...
