Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 240 Weatherby or 25-06 Rem for Coyotes, Deer, Pronghorn ?

.240 HS Precision when I got it. Didn't like the HS stock at 42 oz.

Dropped it in a 26 oz Hunter's Edge. Got it unpainted, did my glass work, even filled in the bolt handle slot, sent it back to McM for paint, brown with black specks. HS even makes their own trigger, an improved 700 set up. The trigger housing has windows so you can see the sear, etc. Pretty neat.

It is now a MUCH better handling rifle. HS makes their own in house barrels, cut rifling like Brux and Krieger, just about as accurate. That's why I'm stuck with 10 twist. Barrel too good to swap out for 7 or 8 twist. Besides, it shoots 100 NPTs half MOA at 400 yds. Hard to beat in a hunting weight rifle. Just won't shoot 105's.

Current scope is a VX-6 2-12x42.
