Well I acquired this...

I'm not sure how I feel about it. I need to get some ammo for it and see how it shoots.

It's definitely cobbled together...
After doing some digging and pulling it apart. It's a Chinese mauser. Have to pull the scope mount off to see what year it was made.

After I took the scope off. I found that the weaver rails are literally just epoxied onto the receiver. So I guess that's nice that it isn't D&T.

Barrel is spot welded to the reciever..


Thankfully I didn't pay anything other than about an hour of my time moving firewood.

Story goes buddy bought it thinking it was a pre64 winny in 22-250. Buys it for 375 and it turns out it's a 220 swift Chinese mauser.

I'm gonna grab a box of ammo and sight it in for shits and giggles. Probably cut the spot weld and pull the barrel. When cleaning it I could see the stamping of barrel maker on the barrel face.

Pretty sure it was made in a garage with a Dremel but we'll see.


What does a guy do with a rough mauser action??

SOLD Vortex Razor Amg uh-1 gen 2

Like new vortex razor amg uh-1 gen 2. Only taken out of the safe for use to zero. Comes with aftermarket cover and original box. I have astigmatism and the holographic doesn’t work well for me.

Would trade for a Holosun AEMS Max if someone gets their hands on one when they’re available and decide they don’t want it.

$450 shipped

Rifle Twist Selection

In previous posts I mentioned that I have four Remington 40 X rifles and that I was that having the barrels changed Due to the twist. The current twist is 14 which limits you to light weight bullets. The calibers are 222 Remington 223 Remington 243 Winchester and 7mm Remington Magnum.

The first two I asked the gunsmith to make the twist 7.

The second two since I was changing the barrels, I decided to have the caliber changed. The 222 Remington I am stuck deciding between 6.5X47 Lapua and 6.5 PCR. The 7 mm Remington I plan to have it converted to 300 PCR for these two I am thinking that a 9 twist would be adequate.

So: I have two questions the first is does anyone have an opinion t=at to my choice of twist’s. The second question relates primary to the 222 Remington conversion to a 6.5 mm; In my situation which caliber would you chose?

Was the Ruger Precision the game changer it was supposed to be?

Curious your thoughts on the RPR 9 years later. Hard to believe it’s going to be a decade old in 2025.

For me this rifle was the game changer. It was a great entry level rifle rich in features and gained a lot of aftermarket support when it came on the scene. It also got me into 6.5CM and long range shooting

I even remember Frank doing a little series on upgrades you could do to really get the most out of it.

I still have my OG RPR and I think one day it might be a neat thing to pass on to a new shooter. I don’t think I’ll be doing any upgrades to mine. It’s still a great shooting rifle but I think I’ve progressed beyond its budget price tag.

For me the RPR was a gateway rifle

Frank even ran it against the AI with some pretty impressive results.

Rimfire Ruger 77/17 Zytel Boat Paddle Stock, Green Mountain Barrel

Ruger 77/17 17HMR. Zytel (boat paddle) stock, includes blued Ruger 1" scope rings and 2 Ruger magazines. Green Mountain barrel with 1/2" threaded muzzle, threaded thread protector, and a reverse taper near muzzle. When I got this rifle it had some surface rust between the stock and the right side of the action. I cleaned it off and oiled, but there is some very minor pitting. Does not affect function in any way - see pic out of stock for condition. Stock shows signs of use. Trigger is right around 1.5 pounds and very smooth. Rifle shot 0.5-0.7" at 50 yards with no effort put into ammo selection. $1250 shipped to FFL in CONUS.
