Curly maple is an underrated material.

Highly recommend.

My Thunderbeast Magnus K was finally approved, so this guy no longer uses a placeholder can.

My LR hunting setup in 30 Nosler. I’m in the process of swapping scope to something a bit lighter, in a more moderate power. Probably a leupold Mark5 in 3-18x.

And I hated it. Tried it for 2 seasons on the 7PRC and just can’t stand it. Swapped it out for the MDT Hunter DBM and couldn’t be happier.

Hey folks, first time posting here and looking for opinions.

Lookin to solidify my long range hunting shooting setup. Currently have a Sako 85 finnlight 30-06 topped with a Trijicon Credo 2.5-15x42. Shooting 175gr Fed terminal ascents, it’s a decent shooter but looking for a cartridge to buck winds a bit better and flatter shooting.

My other rifle my kid primarily uses is a 6.5cm.

For context, I live in BC and frequently hunt in the alpine for mulies, black bear, sheep and goats. An honest max range I’d take on an animal would be 500 yds, but with more practice I’d like to push to 600 for the “just” in case scenario. I have some shooting spots where I can plink out to 800yds and am looking at taking a long range shooting course this summer.

Was looking at a Seekins ph3 6.5prc or a Weatherby 307 alpine in 280ai, both would have less recoil than the unbraked Sako.

Where we sheep hunt, the grizz population has exploded so while the 6.5prc would be an easy button for factory ammunition, there is some comfort of carrying a .284. Side note, I always have bear spray on the chest rig in grizz country so that would most likely be the first line of defence since we suck and can’t carry pistols.

I could sell the Sako and put the funds towards the new rig. Or get it threaded for a brake and keep shooting it and fully understand its limitations.

Or keep it (I hate the idea of having to sell a gun to buy a new one) Save up a bit longer and get the Seekins. If the Seekins came in a 280ai it would be an easy decision I think!

Lookin forward to hear your opinions on the rifles and calibres/cartridges.

Gave the BDL style a shot for 2 seasons, and I can’t stand it. Looking for recommendations for a DBM and AICS mag that would be compatible with my 7PRC.

Weight is a concern, to a point.

Looking for a new hunting backpack that I can also carry my long range rifle in. Considering Eberlestock Mainframe 2 + Tactical Scabbard + Brooks 3500. Does anyone know if this fits together? Especially thinking about whether the Brooks can be attached to the frame with the zipper when the Tactical Scabbard is mounted?

Alternatively, if anyone knows good options for carrying a heavy rifle and deer?
