    Gunsmithing Re-bedding a stock

    Re: Re-bedding a stock I did the same thing to a rifle a few years ago. I only removed the bedding in the area that needed to be removed, barrel and lug area. I used a dremel and roughed up the area where I removed the old bedding. Be careful not to get the new bedding material on the...

    Hunting & Fishing Next hunting rifle Ruger No.1 in 6.5 Creedmore

    Re: Next hunting rifle Ruger No.1 in 6.5 Creedmore I love mu #1 in .270 Win. I've had it for almost 20 years and never felt handicaped with having only 'one' shot. Make that one shot count and you won't need another!!!

    Reloader-15 Discontinued??

    Re: Reloader-15 Discontinued?? I got a reply to my e-mail from Alliant today. Acording to Ben Amonette, Consumer Service Manager with Alliant, Reloader 15 is alive and well and is NOT going to be discontinued. That still doesn't tell me WHY I can't find any locally? Maybe the guys in the...

    Savage 10PC Accustock W/O ACCUWEDGE!!

    Re: Savage 10PC Accustock W/O ACCUWEDGE!! What were the customers complaining about? I don't have a problem with the accu-wedge in my M-10PC. My only complante with the M-10PC is the accu-trigger not cocking everytime I close the bolt. I wonder if they will exchange it for a Timmney?

    Reloader-15 Discontinued??

    Re: Reloader-15 Discontinued?? I was at Simmons Sporting Goods in Bessemer, the guy I talked to said they hadn't had any R-15 in months and couldn't get any, they had plenty of everything else on the shelf so no general shortage of powder. I shot an e-mail off to Alliant Friday asking if...

    Reloader-15 Discontinued??

    Stopped by the gun shop to buy a couple pounds of R-15 to feed the .308. The guy behind the counter said that Alliant had discontinued Reloader-15. Have any of you guys heard that or is he missinformed?

    Re: Fuggit... I'm shooting Hornady bullets. Been using Hornadys, usually the SST's, for years with zero problems. I use the money I save to buy the expensive powder from the local shops.

    What do you guys like for a finish?

    Re: What do you guys like for a finish? I did a rifle and a pistol in Brownells Alumi Hyde II. Both turned out well but, the finish is rather 'thick' and the slide on the pistol took a LOT of work to run smooth. I had no trouble with the rifle, everything went together just fine. The...

    Hunting & Fishing lock ons or climbers?

    Re: lock ons or climbers? Summit Viper now that I'm older. But, like you I used 'tree gafs' and lock-on's for years until my knees decided thay had had enough abuse. I figured at age 60 I'd start using a climber. Man, the Summit Viper is a comfortable stand, I sometimes wonder WHY I stayed...

    Re: Passed up in '08, Shot in '09 That's a NICE deer!!! I'll bet it was hard to pass him up last year...not many people would have. But, to have big deer you HAVE to let the little deer walk.

    Rifle Scopes 100 yd or 200 yd zero???

    Re: 100 yd or 200 yd zero??? I zero ALL of my rifles for 200 yds., .223's, .270's, 30-06's, .308's and my 6.8x43. No matter which I shoot I always know where it's going to hit no matter if I'm hunting or killing paper. If I need to shoot at longer ranges then I adjust my scope but otherwise...
