My dad shoots .06 cor lokts out of his BAR with outstanding accuracy. My 700 in same caliber won't shoot them worth a shite. Went with Barnes Tripple Shocks in my 300wsm and they are outstanding. Very expensive though.

You're the first person I've heard of that had a rifle that wouldn't shoot corelockts well an did shoot something else well. They shoot very well in everything I've owned. I've just had some issues with them not exiting.

I still don't see what's so ugly about it. Looks like a rifle

I switched to Nosler partitions and it made a large improvement. It didn't tighten the grouping 6"s or anything but a very noticeable difference.

You're right. There's just nothing "good looking" about it. Some rifles just have that look to them, and this one doesn't. Nothing wrong with that though, I suppose. It just looks like a rifle.

I see what you mean. I don't worry much about looks for a gun I'm gonna hunt with for the most part

They all end up looking like shut after a year or two anyway

Exactly. As long as the glass isn't beat up its fine

Yeah, I hear ya. I try to keep mine looking purrty. Granted, before mine got jacked, I kind of babied the Browning, and it was the one I'd use in the shoot house, and the T/C was the one I toted around in the woods since it was shorter and easier to handle.

I baby my powpow's old shotgun to an extent, but the rest all have nicks and dings. I used to baby my tikka before I sold it though.

Inevitably this will happen, and it bugs the shite out of me when it does...

Wuff To each his own, though. If it's driving tacks the way you say it does then looks aren't that important...

I don't baby any of my guns, but I don't throw them around like they're firewood either. If I know my gun will be in the bed of a truck or the bottom of a boat I put it in a floating case. To OP I'd replace with what was stolen sounds like good guns plus you mentioned other Encore barrels as well. If I had a .308 barrel I wouldn't get the 7mm-08 barrel a deer will never know the difference and there's a much larger selection of .308 ammo available.

My 870 gets treated like firewood

A coworker of mine has a Kimber .300 wsm he wants to sell that has a Leupold w/ the adjustable turret. He wants $800 for it, and it's every bit of a $1500 setup. I haven't seen it yet, but it's another one I'm considering.

I just picke up the Mark V accumark ultralight. Chambered in 257mag. Thing packs a punch while light on the recoil

What's the availability of this round compared to others?
Posted on 1/26/12 at 11:38 am to avid lurker
I've always been a fan of the .257 wby.

I got an 870 Wingmaster for graduation 1986, the first year Remchokes were introduced. It still looks new albeit I haven't used it much since I got my SBE.
