I loved this episode, I was wondering if you could have the same conversation about shooting deer in New Hampshire and Maine habitats. In certain situations you may have an opportunity up to 250 yards but most of the time opportunities are anywhere from 20 yards to 100 yards at a Whitetail. Running deer and thick brush can often be an issue with harvesting a deer as well. I would love to hear about your cartridge selection and bullet design and composition for these parameters, thank you.

See through bikini 🎉 hell yea!😂

Have you had any experience with Tract or Delta optics? They both have some interesting options. The Tract Toric 2.5-15 seems like a lot of scope for the money, at least ‘on paper’ and uses the Schott glass. Delta is a Polish company, their Titanium 1.5-9 seems like it would be a good scope. They are not as popular here in the US though.

I own one in 30-06, I ain’t no hunter but boy do I enjoy plinking with it up to 100 yards, I don’t have a scope mounted, I love using the express sights!! Great review man, thank you for shining some light on this gorgeous rifle!

*WOW--what beautiful color; I'll have to wait another month for that in TN.*

The reason for the lower max chamber pressure of the 284 Win vs 308 is the fatter case, 0.50" vs 0.47"dia. and the rifles for which it was developed. The bolt thrust is caused by the max chamber pressure pushing rearward through the case. It is calculated by multiplying that max chamber pressure by the area of the largest part of the case body (technically, the interior diameter). It acts like a piston pushing against the bolt. The case body of the 284 is larger than that of the 308, so it pushes harder at a given chamber pressure. The rifles for which the 284 was created (Winchester Models 88 and 100) had just enough strength to deal with the bolt thrust of the 308, so to keep from exceeding that, the 284's max pressure is lower. It is important to note that typically some of that force is taken up by the case wall sticking against the chamber wall, but rifles are designed for to deal with the full force that might occur if there is oil or water acting like a lubricant in the chamber. In a stronger action, the pressures of the 284 can be pushed up some, but case life may drop a bit.

Another enjoyable and informative video. Looking for a dangerous game scope, suspect the reticle on this is too complicated.

Would love to see your review of the SFAR!

cool video!

I have a 1 x 6 and it's OK. I really like the vx3 hd 1 1/2 x 5.

I picked up the "Alaskan" version of this rifle a few months ago (Hogue stock vs laminate). My DG rifle for Africa is a CZ550 (416 Rigby) and I have taken a number of animals with it. I thought I'd try something shorter and more weather resistant for bear. I settled on the Ruger for many of the same reasons you addressed here (thanks for another entertaining video). However, I feel I should point out that (at least in my own case) I was supremely disappointed with the back up iron sights (BUIS). Mine were almost 5 inches off at 25 yards (low left). That's somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 MOA and clearly unacceptable, and they're not adjustable (vertically) and hard to adjust for windage. With LPVO I'm seeing about an inch and a half at 100, so GTG with scope. Just don't buy one thinking you're getting useful irons. Did you fire yours with the irons?

It is not clear to me about handloads, are they OK to air travel with, can I just put them in a factory box that is a cartridge match, or a plastic ammo box.

Get me within 300 yards and my 30-06 will work every time. I can hit targets all day at 1200 yards with it. But i wont hunt past 400 yards with that rifle. Still torn between the 6.8 and 7PRC for my next rifle. Ammo price will decide that in the end. I wont hunt with it till ive got a couple hundred rounds on steel at 150-500 yards.

Just comes down to personal preference

Very entertaining and informative of course. You three should get together more often.

Great episode. My only comment on production is the microphone was a bit sketchy. Type and or location I am thinking. Thanks again.
