I have been getting into handloading so I used some of those for an apples to apples comparison of the stocks. I reloaded Hornady 150gr SST Interlocks with a 41.9gr charge of RL-15. That bullet is excellent for hunting and has great expansion. In the hands of a more experienced reloader, they...

Range report Range Conditions Sunny & Clear Temp: 44 degrees Fahrenheit Wind: right to left 6-12 mph BP: 30.39in Humidity: 86% I started at 100 yards, prone off of sandbags with five shot groups, cooling between sets but no cleaning. The new stock is getting about the same size groups as the...

This rifle weighs 12.4 pounds as shown. I did not weigh the stock by itself, but I can if you are interested.

Judging by the tone of your comment, I'm guessing you have never tried a Promag. By virtue of their simplicity, bolt actions really don't jamb very easily. I have run about 200 rounds through it without a single incident. Can it jamb? Probably, but no more so than a magazine from another...

Here's a look under the hood. I tried to show the bedding block as best I could, but I'm not sure these pictures do it justice. I masked off the aluminum where it contacts the action, but the aluminum in the magazine well got painted over. You can feed a single round in the chamber with the...

Counter Argument... The archangel magazines are $28.89 from pro-mag whereas the hs precisions are listed at $80. Yes, you could buy an hs stock, although I could not find one for less than $300. But you would need to add the detachable magazine assembly for another $300, plus a good bipod for...

My Review On forums all over the net, there are a lot of people trashing the Archangel 700, but I still gave it a chance. Like a lot of guys, I don’t have thousands upon thousands of dollars to plop down on a high-end custom rifle. Don’t get me wrong, I would if I could, but it’s just not in...

Re: Trail Camera Advice I have two of the Stealth Cam Rogue IR digital cameras. They will do video or still pics. The animals don't pay any attention to it at all. It stamps the pictures with date, time, temp., and moon phase. It holds 8 'C' batteries and lasts many months before it needs to...
