    Trg 42- 300wm

    The REAL TICKET is to go .300win in TRG-42 Land and then Switch-Barrel! .338/300win is the big sleeper in the .338 cosmos. Best brass value, setup your chamber to headspace on the neck. Can even go with any of the other magnums in .533" boltface country. Buy a .473 bolt body and go standard...

    Rifle Scopes Larue vs Badger

    Would worry more about your scope mount/base than rings. Had 3 or 4 sets of Badger and sold them all. TPS tsr replaced them. Held onto an older set of 30mm Leupold Mk4 steel that are also superb. TPS for tactical rings are superb. Warne Permanent maximas if you won't be removing the scope...

    What choice to make? TRG-22 or FN SPR .308

    Re: What choice to make? TRG-22 or FN SPR .308 TRG 42 offers Best of All Worlds... at least to the switchbarreler. Can purchase bolt bodies in .473, .533, and .590 boltface diameters so you can chamber for any ctg of those head dimensions. The .300win chambering allows you to use those...

    Building a do it all rifle.

    Re: Building a do it all rifle. Might want to look at the FN-Herstal rifles with chrome-lined barrels. Chambered in .308win and .300wsm For factory straight out of box use, would be hard to beat the .300wsm if really figure large game is on the ticket. A factory .308win could be improved...

    Iron sights on bolt rifles

    Re: Iron sites on bolt rifles Rem 700s up to A prefix were tapped for side-mount aperture sight bases. Winchester 70s up until the mid 80s. Several makers, williams sight esp have offered rear aperture sight that mounts on standard rear receiver bridge. Sako had a dovetail mount rear...

    FN PBR

    Re: FN PBR Pitting on the bolt body is no big deal, cosmetic only. Polish it off or try Naval Jelly. If there is pitting on the Boltface, that is another matter. Truing the boltface should take care of the problem, but might require a barrel set-forward to retain same headspace. if...

    6-250 Remington

    Re: 6-250 Remington 6mm XC is The Ticket. Enough of a wildcat for anybody, can form cases from .22-250 brass if don't want to buy Norma. Dennis is steering you right. The better round is the Ackley Improved 6mm/.22-250. 6XC is .001" shorter. Dies are more readily available & cheaper...

    TRG-22 rebarrel question

    Re: TRG-22 rebarrel question Might want to study-up on the way barrels of chrome-moly and stainless wear. The cracking previously related has minimal effect on accuracy in a c-m barrel as the steel hangs together and rifling/lands remain smooth (relatively). Stainless barrels tend to...

    TRG 22 vs 42 regrets?

    Re: TRG 22 vs 42 regrets? I would go 42, and did... The 42 is the standard M995 action, the 22 is a hybrid. With the 42 you have a base for the finest switch-barrel rifle ever. Easy to buy a .473 faced bolt body and should you want the .590 super-mag capability as well. The extra...

    Rifle Scopes W. German Zeiss Diavari-Z 2.5-10x48 T* value???

    Re: W. German Zeiss Diavari-Z 2.5-10x48 T* value??? The "made in West Germany" marking is the kicker. Zeiss Diavari are top of the line, but the warranty is 25yrs not lifetime. The Berlin Wall came down a longtime ago, your warranty is likely expired and once expired you're on your own for...

    338 Win Mag

    Re: 338 Win Mag Barrel length isn't a primary factor in "accuracy". Benchrest competitors mostly opt for a 20-22" tube for harmonic reasons. Velocity loss might be a factor in retention of sonic+ velocities. Don't want to have your rounds slowing below sonic/1000fps because once they do...

    Looking to lighten my Rifle

    Re: Looking to lighten my Rifle Dude, I had a Sendero SF .300win mag in an HTG Edge stock that was about 9lbs w/o scope. 13lbs is nothing for the rig you put together. Really sounds about PERFECT! But since you asked... Lose the NXS scope, other than the 24mm objective jobs they are Boat...

    QD Scope Rings

    Re: QD Scope Rings Just take a 7/16 or 1/2 wrench and your tactical rings will be better than any QD set. If you carry a Leatherman Wave, Gerber or other muilti-tool that has a driver stud, carry a drive socket or stow one in/on your rifle.

    .338 win mag reloads

    Re: .338 win mag reloads Your .338win Sendero is pretty damn rare. Heard about these being custom shop items, never in general production. Don't think I would risk blowing up a nice rifle trying to push for velocity threshold it was not designed to realize. 250gr bullet at 3000fps is .340...
