    Photos WINCHESTER M70 WITH UNERTL 8X

    Re: WINCHESTER M70 WITH UNERTL 8X Nice. I have a 1942 pre 64 that was turned into a palma rig. Unfortunately, the beautiful marksman stock was hacked up by the previous owner. Shame because the stock is a really nice piece of wood. I've got a 20x Unertl on it.

    Movie Theater The Pacific Airs Tonight

    Re: The Pacific Airs Tonight I just finished watching episode 6 and coincidentally, this weekend, just finished the section of Sledge's book on Pelilu. The episode definiately is just taking the "high points" from the book at least in this episode. The whole of the context is tough to...

    Muzzle blast takes out bumble bee!

    Re: Muzzle blast takes out bumble bee! I was shooting my AR, prone, all snapped in during the highpower league one time when a bee decided to stop for a break on the top of my flash suppressor. Needless to say I immediately broke a shot. Flying bee parts!

    Moving to Rock Island Illinois area

    Re: Moving to Rock Island Illinois area Davenport Iowa is right across the river from Rock Island. Iowa might be a better choice for a residence than Illinois, firearm friendly wise. I'm sure the "locals" here on the borad will chime in. If you like Rueben sandwiches, the Belgian Village...

    Gunsmithing Truing Action on Rem 700?

    Re: Truing Action on Rem 700? TBA built my M40A1 10 years ago. I guess I don't ever recall the action running smooth as silk, or like glass, but it hammered like no other, and I never had expectations of it running like a benchrest machine. I've used my TBA in many different...

    Photos Winchester M70 30-06 and Unertl 10x

    Re: Winchester M70 30-06 and Unertl 10x Nice. I have pre-64 in a marksman stock (that was hacked up by someone to shoot palma) that I'd love to have turned into one of those. Biggest problem I've found is finding the correct stock for the build.

    Movie Theater R. Lee Ermey made me choke

    Re: R. Lee Ermey made me choke I met the Gunny a couple years ago. I commented that my son and I have alot of fun watching his show (mail call at the time). He replied, "not as much fun as I have doing it!" Which of course had everyone bust out laughing. Very cool guy.

    .224 77 grain SMK question

    Re: .224 77 grain SMK question 23.8 - 24 gr of Varget with the 77 is a pretty standard load. Your 1-7 should like them alot. I doubt you'd see a meaningful difference between the VV and Varget for practical applications.

    Reloads for AR-10

    Re: Reloads for AR-10 When loading for an autoloader, I would always reccommend FL resizing. The one time you need it to function is the time it won't.

    question about 223 load

    Re: question about 223 load Sota, IMHO, a 20 inch 9 twist barrel and 75/77 gr load is right on the edge of what the rifle is capable of handling well. The Hornaday 75 and sierra 77, while simillar, are two very different bullets. I would look at the accepted "service rifle loads" for the...

    LC Match 308 brass?

    Re: LC Match 308 brass? I have a batch of that stuff ('93) that I've recently started to use. Case volume by my measurement is the same as federal match (that I have). Works well for me in my bolt gun and it's tough as nails. I wish I would have bought more from CMP at the time now. ET
