    Can not disasseble a CZ-455 Bolt.......I'm an idiot, and need help.

    Recently disassembled my CZ 455 bolt for the first time. The safety was a bit bulky when I went to pull it out. Just pushed down on the striker spring support a bit more and was able to get it out. Might see if a friend can help out by pushing down on the striker spring support while you use...

    Hunting & Fishing Aren't Wolves supposed to be afraid of humans ...?

    That is wild! Must admit - I probably would have just taken off and not taken the pictures. I have already had dogs snap at me a few times while on my dirt bike. Definitely would not want to give a wolf the opportunity.

    SW AMMO UPDATE THREAD

    I hope to hear some good news fairly soon as well. The latest update I got from Kristen on my order for .308 Match (pre-order) was that it would ship between 4 - 6 June. And today is 6 June - can only hope :-)

    Advanced Marksmanship Hoping rifle when shooting with a bipod...

    I had noticed this in some of your videos before but never thought to ask - thanks. And one question generates another :-) "Click of Death"??? Firing on empty chamber and damaging firing pin or....?[ TIA QUOTE=Lowlight;2537736]It is called a "press check" with any magazine feed rifle it is...

    Gunsmithing Savage Bolt

    Appreciate the clarification on the use of the ramp on the rear baffle as I had it backwards. Obviously working from memory was not a good thing. Will need to be a bit more careful in my grammar as well as I stated things poorly. :-(

    Ruger 10/22 needs to perform better

    Based on what I have read, 1/2 inch groups at 50 yardsit can be done - but seems to be dependent on the barrel and ammo. From the Kidd website (Frequently Asked Questions) "Yes, we guarantee all of our barrels will group a half an inch at fifty yards."

    Gunsmithing Savage Bolt

    If the spacer has a small ramp at the end of it, it is part of the bolt assembly. It sits between the bolt head and the receiver block and locks the floating bolt head in place against the lugs when the bolt is closed. Took me a while to figure out when I first got my FLCP as it was rattling...

    Savage Logo On Bolt

    As a noob - just curious why it does not make sense? Not worth investing in and should go to aftermarket bolt ie.SSS or...? TIA

    Mcmillan stocks rock!

    Never been a big fan of digital camo - but that sniper grey/light grey combo looks pretty good. First one that I might actually want to do - someday when I get a new stock :-)

    My New APA 6XC

    Great looking rifle - and great groups as well. Out of curiosity - how much does the package? TIA

    **ROUND2 !!**, (100YARD), Semi-Auto, 6group, 30round SHOOTOUT!

    Actually -I think it is a great idea! Keeps the brass off the floor and makes it easy to collect. Sometimes the simple solutions are the best.

    Hunting & Fishing Where to MOVE

    I think Jedi is trying to leave Texas (as his profile say location is Tx). Sort of takes that one of the list.

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Scotty, Thanks for the link - I will follow up on that. For me , it will primarily be used as a "practice" rifle - backyard and at the range - saving 308 ammo. Occasional varmint dispatch may happen as well. No benchrest, but combination of bipod and off hand shooting. For my wife - just...
