Welcome aboard
Hi everyone, I'm Mike from Northeast PA, land of the free. Came from NYC, land of the liberals and I'm glad to be here. I'm pretty decent with my hands but I don't have any precision tools (lathe/milling machine) but I like to tinker.
I recently picked up a 111 in 300 Win Mag (less than 100 rds through it according to the seller) off a trade with another forum member over at PAFOA and while I'm positive the rifle can outshoot me any day of the week, is there anything specific I can do that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to improve it's deer ability? It has a solid wood stock (also have the factory synthetic stock). There's a 4-12 Red Head scope on there and I went ahead and put a Limbsaver on there because it's a magnum and I know it can pack a punch.
I don't have any reloading equipment but I am open to the idea, not only so that I don't have to pay $1.50 or so per round but this way I can tone it down for the typical hunting situations around here (100 yards or less, deer weighing under 200lbs). I know there are several "deals" on starter kits for reloading but I don't know jack squat about the brands nor bullet selection asides from the fact that it's .308 diameter lends itself to a host of bullet weights
One thing I did notice about the rifle is that when I'm going to chamber a round the bolt didn't pick up a round the 1st time. Am I just not bringing the bolt all the way back or is it something mechanical?
Is there a direct link to the "mod" section or DIY? I know there are certain things that should be left to the pro's but there has to be a host of DIY improvements as well
