I am with Rick on this, Cooper is King !! In my arsenal of CZ, Remington, Howa,Savage ( all bench guns) however for my bang around throw in pickup or side x side I have a Howa 1500 mini action 204 with rubber molded stock that is fantastic and scope is worth more than rifle.

Eagles are back!! Squirrels will be out soon!!!!!!

Has the ATN Xsight 2 worked well for you? Been contemplating one for shooting coyotes at night here in the states.

Recently returned from hunt in east central oregon, great 2 day hunt, barely had enough ammo!!!!

I usually just use one fouling round before a group with my CZ. Gun loves hornady 32 grain factory loads!!!!

Just found a used 4 year old cooper 21 in 204 ruger in pristine condition, what old you offer the party for it????

I always like projects, so I bought a Thumb-hole HB bmag 17wsm. I will shoot it hopefully tomorrow and see how it groups. I am already planning on having the action bedded, re-crown the barrel and remove some the barrel channel to make sure barrel is free floated on the left side all the time, have ...

Has anyone purchased a newer (ser# K or newer) bag in 17wsm? I wondered if ammo was more consistent and if heavy barreled, thumhole stock improved accuracy any? Was thinking on buying one to fill the void between 17hmr and 204ruger?

love my Howa varmiter, working on CZ varmiter and a Savage model 12.

Why aren't these barrels free floated in the beginning?

[quote="Jim White"]I have two of them, other than bedding and free floating the barrel they're stock and shoot as good as anything
I was contemplating free floating and bedding my R700 VLS, what kind of results did you achieve when you did yours? Thanks!!!!
