    Impact NBK LA paired with Bix’n Andy - what top sear? Low? Or?

    Have an NBK and looking to gather more parts for it. The trigger pin to cocking piece distance is measuring .154”. Looking at a top sear compatibility table, it looks like I am going to need a low sear. But also looks like I’m at the upper limit of sear engagement before having issues. So...

    New Mode 70 Winchester

    Guess it depends what you need/like/want for customization. It works fine for me. Mcmillian or manners, 20 moa base, timney if you like. I'd like to see Defiance put a 3 position safety on a deviant. That would make the win70 fan in me smile!

    Win Mag Hunter - Which Stock?

    Re: Win Mag Hunter - Which Stock? IMO: I wouldn't want adjustable and the weight. But then I would have kept the mcs-t. I don't like vertical grips for hunting, as I dont find them as comfortable to carry. It depends how you hunt, though. If you are driving a quad to a blind and sitting...

    Odd Barrel

    It seems that when I read the “shorty” posts most of the people chiming in, both for and against, have even barrels. 16,18,20,24,26. Just curious if there is any reason that I don’t recall anyone praising a 17, 19, or other odd inched barrels? Is there a odd inch barrel harmonics phobia? Or...

    Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

    Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS The re-occurring theme that concerns me is R&D....aka, Ripoff and Duplicate. Pictures will be posted when this is no longer a concern for me. Always good to keep something secret giving you a temporary monopoly after launch. Launch...

    .22 Pistol Recommendation - Poll

    Re: .22 Pistol Recommendation - Poll I went with the Ruger MKIII. But, I don't like the loaded chamber indicator etc. If I was going to replace my MKII, I would probably by a volquartsen scorpion and put some normal grips on it. I keep hoping they will make a 22/45 frame. I also like the...

    wanting to buy a sniper rifle

    Re: wanting to buy a sniper rifle Last time I lived in IN it was a shotgun state for deer. I think you can hunt with 'pistol' cartridges that are a certain caliber/length in rifles now. So, if you are planning to hunt deer, I'd just pick up a tarhunt or other bolt action slug gun. If you...

    Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

    Re: Stepping Up To the Plate Other than being able to put the 605 into a different stock than the MCS-T (any 700 stock), why does it seem so many are leaning toward the 605? I like the MCS-T stock and would like to get a centerfire in this stock at some point. It looks like the accuracy...

    caliber comparison

    Re: caliber comparison I think it depends on what you mean by "big game" If you are talking elk, a .308 works fine. If you are wanting to go to a magnum, I'd look at various bullets to see what is out there and if you can find what you want. the 30 cal seems to have a better selection...

    22 cal take down

    Re: 22 cal take down The marlin 39A is a hard to beat take-down. It is accurate, high quality, and fun to shoot. Plus, it would go nicely with a freedom arms 97 in 22lr.

    6.5x55 Hunting rifle build

    Re: 6.5x55 Hunting rifle build Nothing wrong with the 6.5 Swede. I'm considering doing a 6.5x55 build in a falling block action. If I was going to build on an old 30-06 size action, I'd probably build a 270 or 25-06.
