I wish my body would still let me do the back country hunts but I'm old and beat-up now 🙃

Hunting in Texas only rifle I’ve ever use is a Remington 700 chambered in 243 and had no issues with Whitetail or large Axis bucks

I think we need to see the test that most of us are waiting for when crowning "the king" - 7mm Rem Mag vs 300 Win Mag... we look forward to it!

Seems 6.8SPC is still viable in this goal category

At 10:44 "blurple" I feel that concept in my soul.

Now just speed up the targets to 40 mph coming at you…the speed a brown bear reaches in one body length. I’ve done similar drills with a charging target mounted on a spring loaded rail (TACTIC in Bozeman) and it was humbling…could barely get off 3 shots of a 10mm G40…and the target was “charging” at only 25 mph. 😂

I went 6.8 spc because from what I saw, velocities are very similar when running a 16” barrel, which many hog hunters want, since running suppressed.

The true king of extreme long range goes to the USS Missouri

Good stuff guys, nothing like opening weekend of gun season. Hopefully we get more Gary in the upcoming years, that guys a gem.

I'm from the Northeast, and my preferred rifle has always been .30-30 336's or 94's, but recently picked up a 760 Carbine in .270. I'm not giving up on it but so far I've been disappointed with accuracy, but all I've found on the shelves has been lower end 150gr loads by Winchester and Federal. It was recommended to me to try some handloads with 130gr bullets. I'll keep trying until I find something that works.

It's not a 'nail gun', the correct term is a Ram Set FYI.

The coolest pump is the Browning.

basketball is canadian 😂

I’m old enough to remember people who had shot out throats in 8mm mausers had the chamber reamed to 8mm06. It was a super easy modification to 8mm mausers. 06 brass was everywhere. The 8-06 was no slouch of a cartridge if it was hand loaded. And was quite common when I was a kid.

conclusión a 1000 yardas es más eficiente el 6.5

Overdue for discussion on the amazing 257 wby 270 wby also good topic 6.8 western 300 norma There is a list for you 😊

Wish you guys would have discussed the disassembly/maintenance and the plastic ejection port dust cover on the Remington 760.

Watching/listening to you two describe memes is like listening to my grandparents describe a porn movie. Just a hard no. Love the rest of your stuff, keep it up. Need more pigeon.

My California overlords say suppressors are bad so I can’t have one

I have the original model 24 with side selector switch. All original and still works and looks great considering it's over 70 years old.

Great bullet in 1939. You couldn't pay me to shoot that bullet now. I'll stick with my Barnes, trophy bonded bear claws, swift A frames and nosler partitions. Why shoot a core lokt when they're are far superior bullets on the market. Thank god it disappeared on the market when Remington went in the tank because it got a lot of people shooting good bullets instead of that antiquated junk.

Grandpa had a single shot stevens that also has a 20 ga barrel.

I wanna see a 7mm-08 vs .308. I do disagree with the versatility going to the .223; versatility to me is the ability for the round to fit different circumstances. The ability to switch between supers at a lower grainage and faster speed and larger grainage at slower speed with some variability in between is essentially the definition of versatility in my opinion. Want to pass through, more energy, and longer ranger...super, if you want tumbling/destruction, less recoil, and quiet you go subsonic. I think clarification on what you mean by versatility is important to your choice. 300blk fits more mission sets and that is a tough point to argue when "versatility" is the category. Essentially I disagree with your statement that 300blk is "more specalized"; if you were only comparing subsonics I would agree but as a cartridge in general I couldn't disagree more. I appreciate the video, you guys did a great job but words and distinction matters. Keep it up!

I bought a new 760 gamemaster in the late 70's. I bought it because I am left -handed and never regretted it. I let a friend shoot it recently, and he couldn't believe how accurate and comfortable it was to shoot. I told him that was why I still own it..

The beginning sequence wasn’t realistic, because Ryan forgot to push Mark towards the bear before he ran. Aside from that, awesome video.

can only see existing rifle being the only strong reason to choose sorry.

Elks… Elks? ELKS?! 😂

Mosquit would be awesome and you guys need to make smooth bore adapters for 22 or some kind of thing you can push down the barrel to make it smooth.

Got a 7600 in .243 and .280 from grandpa he was left handed and was easier to get one of these than a left handed bolt back in the day.

I will probably never be able to afford taking a back country hunt out west, but 1 pair of socks for 5 days! My feet would rot off for sure lol. Never hunted where I was not back at the camper or truck by dark. I need a fresh pair every day. Most of the time I am home that evening to sleep in my own bed lol. I usually carry my rifle, box worth of ammo, a knife, water or thermos depending on weather and snacks for the day. I do have a lighter and a hankie in my pocket.

The Best Cartridge for Whitetail is Whatever works best for you. Enough said...

I have the S&W 610-3 in 10mm. Had it reamed to accept the10mm Magnum round. It's a Beast!!!!

308 for Elk and smaller...300 Win Mag for Moose and Big Game larger than Elk...own both so gun makers can make their money. Also, remember to purchase two Vortex Scopes for each. lol.

Check out Ron Spoomer, Season 2: Episode 16 Scout Rifles with Richard Mann. Very informative break down and history of it.

So I hunted in the piney woods of North Central Louisiana where deer hunting was done with dogs. Having a quick follow-up shot was essential when the deer are in full run. Most shots sure less than 50 yards but you do have cutovers where 200-300 yard shots are the norm. Back in the day, the gun to have was a Remington 742 in 30-06. I saw my fa ther in law shoot a deer in a full run at 300 paces ( about wv50 yds). But then again he shot that gun often and knew it well

You guys should honestly do the whole throwback deer camp. Do a whole series on it! Would be a damn good time packing old school gear

My first deer rifle.....Rem 742 Carbine .30-06. One of the most accurate rifles I have ever owned. Gas Auto helped tame the recoil of 180 gr loads. Sometimes I wish had never sold it..........

Hmmm it’s not a UFO

Underrated for accuracy… full floated barrel, a proper mounted scope with good factory ammo or hand loads will give sub moa groups I’ve done it. I currently use one with a skinner front sight and weaver peep shoots about 1” @ 100

I got me a 572 field master 22

Works well for 6.5 x 55 swede too, 129-140 grain

I love the idea of a scout rifle. I remember .30-30 Model 94's with the "scout scope" of the 1950's thru 1970's. For me, I have a Rossi Model 95 with a peep sight and one scope mount for a red dot sight with a quick detachable mount. I also have a Mosin Model 44. I took of the wooden stock, put a scope rail on the rear sight, and have a scout scope on it. I have the Mossberg scout rifle as well in .308. It is similar to Jim's there. I have a regular scope on it, 2.5 X Leupold. I also have a light and a laser attached on the sides as well. I also have a Kel-Tec SU16. It meets the scout rifle concept, though it is semi-auto.

Got two 760’s in .308 with Lyman peep sights. Two magazines each. Been sweet deer/ bear rifles since I started hunting in 1968

MARK! That cap you are wearing right now, I love it. Where can I get it? I live in Norway, so please do not say "no way!".. I have appr 15 caps from Vortex, but I do not have this perticular one

2X Power😂😂😂😂😂 Ridiculous

.300 savage episode please!!!

I started hunting with a 30-30 then upgraded to a 30-06, I've never felt the need to own a 7mm Rem mag, I've always searched for lever and pump action rifles as I'm left-handed and they just seem to make more sense, however I've always loved the lines and look of a Remington 700 BDL. I've heard they make them in a left hand variant but I've never seen one until about 2 months ago when I walked into a shop and they happen to have one in near mint condition made in 1976. It just happened to be chambered in 7 mm Rem mag, so now I own one.

I went to Cabela's during the pandemic and the only cartridges they had were a little 9mm a few boxes of 12 gauge, 50 BMG and a whole shelf of 6.5 Creedmore. Can't be used anywhere near WNY.

I'll admit, I bought one very bad box of corelokts when Remington was really going downhill a few years ago. I hit a buck at 40 and 60 yards (both good shoulder/lung shots) with my .308, and both rounds failed to expand. 4 hours later, my cousin put that buck down with a properly functioning corelokt. I switched to ballistic tips after that, and had great luck with corelokt tipped bullets. I don't shoot them much anymore, but the majority of my handloads are in old corelokt brass.

The first deer I ever took was with my father's Savage 99 in 300 Savage with a 3-9 scope. Its such an old gun that it does in fact have the little round counter in the receiver. I love that rifle so much it just shoots like a dream and its cool to boot.
