  1. i finally got to shoot it and it is sweeeeeet! just about the time you feel pressure on your trigger the hammer drops. on a side note, after taking my barrel off and gun apart and re assembling the scope help zero!
  2. go with the .270 wsm. everyone knows deer can only be killed with a magnum
  3. i can't wait for Scent Loc to come out with their own truck brand. this way i can be scent free on the way to the woods. everyone knows, you can't kill deer without Scent Loc

    UV killer

    not as big of a gimmick as Scent Lok. suckers are born everyday
  5. save your money for useful hunting equipment, like a rangefinder, bino's, arrows, another gun, etc.
  6. this was my first gunsmithing project. it isn't that complicated plus if you can't get it back together you can mail the parts and he'll put it back together for $80.00. so i saved myself $70.00 by doing it myself. the instuctions were good but kinda vague on some spots. the pictures on the how-to were not very good. they are small and dark. the trigger spring itself, which was what he said to be the hardest part was a breeze. i did not have any issues with it popping out.
  7. the factory triggers are between 5.5 and 6.5 pounds. it was a good trigger as far as no play, being clean with a crisp break...just a little on the heavy side. i installed the spring that gives it between a 2.5 and 3 pound pull. any lighter and you would have to hone parts, which i did not want to get into. if you decide to do this yourself, every step you take, look over the action and possibly snap digital photo's for your own reference as you take it apart.
  8. i agree, hunt the swamp. find their bedding area's in the swamp and hunt inbetween them and the fields (feeding area's).
  9. well i did my own and it turned out great. took me 2 hours but could have been done in under 30 minutes if the pictures and instructions were better. once i had it apart, i had to figure out which way the trigger spring went back in (once the pin was removed like the instructions said, everything just fell out). the pictures on the online instructional guide were small and dark but i got it figured out and the trigger is SWEET! i can't wait to shoot it and see the difference.
  10. $7.00 a bag at Tractor Supply Company and according to the intstructions on the bag, don't refresh for 60 days.

    Thermacel

    i keep 2 with me incase 1 breaks
  12. i would love a shot at a droptine buck
  13. very nice, good luck!
  14. what do the pic's look like? it looks awful cheap and mediokre to me.
  15. i located a web site with the custom springs and a how to pictorial with step by step instructions. i'm gonna attempt this myself and see how it turns out. the spring i ordered should bring my trigger pull to 2 1/2 to 3 pounds. if anyone else needs this information, i'll paste the web site. http://www.bellmtcs.com/store/index.php?cid=456&
  16. i like my 1903 Springfield. that rifle still puts deer down flawlessly after all these years.
  17. anyone ever do their own trigger work or had it done on their Pro Hunter? i'm looking to have some work done on mine but our local gunsmith won't touch it. he advised he has attempted to in the past but could not improve it over stock. the trigger pull is good to the point of having no slack or creep and it has a good crisp break BUT it's a little heavy for me. i'm guestimating it at around 5 pounds of pull. i like my triggers slightly under 3 pounds. i'd hate to have to send it back to T/C to have it done. my luck they would be backed up and i wouldn't get it back before hunting season.
  18. the first pic is the best. cool pic's
  19. whichever ones you go with, make sure you loc tite them down so they don't loosen up with recoil.
  20. just me, but i'd rather have a Wby than a Win mag
