    FN SPR/TSR experience?

    Re: FN SPR/TSR experience? For me, worth depends on whether it was bedded or not, bedding adds to the value. I'd guess it's an earlier model since its not fluted, not sure if these were all bedded or some were put out without that option as they do with the current generation. I've heard...

    FN SPR/TSR experience?

    Re: FN SPR/TSR experience? I've got the A3G which is bedded and its capable of great accuracy when its driven right. The trigger is fine but the pull is pretty heavy for this type of rifle, at some point I'll have it adjusted but right now I'm taking it as a challenge to improve my shooting...

    Cheek Rest

    Re: Cheek Rest Thanks but the felt will work just fine, only question is what's best for glue?

    Cheek Rest

    For those of you who have attached felt to an adjustable cheek piece (like the KMW loggerhead), too provide a non slip surface, what did you use to attach the felt? Any special type of glue? For now I'm using moleskin, but it's not exactly esthetic on a nice McMillan stock. Joe

    Build a 223 rig. How would you do it?

    Re: Build a 223 rig. How would you do it? I've heard there were a very small number of M70 classics (CRF but not pre 64) built in 223. Good luck finding a 223 CRF M70 though. I've got an old Sako in 223 and its a sweet rig. The action is actually sized for the cartridge and the trigger is...

    Precision Long Range Course in Montana

    Re: Precision Long Range Course in Montana I just took Caylen's July 15-18 class here in WA and I highly recommend it. He's a great guy and knows his stuff. I plan to take more training from him in the future. Joe

    Tango 51 - Range Update

    Re: Tango 51 - First time at the Range.... WOW! Great shooting and rifle. One minor comment, when measuring groups, if you want the true group size, measure the size of a single bullet hole in the paper and subtract that from the largest dimension of the group, instead of subtracting the...

    Barrel Break-In

    Re: Barrel Break-In This is from FM 23-10: "d. Barrel Break-in Procedure. To increase barrel life, accuracy, and reduce cleaning requirement the following barrel break-in procedure must be used. This procedure is best accomplished when the SWS is new or newly rebarreled. The break-in period...

    Barrel Break-In

    Re: Barrel Break-In I know GA precision recommends that you break in their match grade barrels. The US Military also recommends it. I've gone through the process and you end up with a barrel that fouls very little and cleans easy. Its not such a bad process with a match grade barrel, you...

    Newcastle Brown Ale fans

    Re: Newcastle Brown Ale fans If you get a chance try Moosedrool from Big Sky Brewery in Missoula Montana. They now bottle it and it can also be found in WA and Idaho. Not sure where else.

    Re: 5 calibers everyone should own For hunting/shooting use: .223/5.56 - from coyotes to commies 6.5x47 Lapua - something different with better long range ballistics than a 308 but shorter barrel life and ammo not as affordable or as readily available .308 - say no more say no more 30-06 -...

    FN SPR questions

    Re: FN SPR questions I recall hearing that they had a problem with the barrels for a period of time and the chrome would actually flake off at around 600 or 700 rounds give or take. I believe that was a while back and haven't heard of any recent problems. I requested chamber dimensions out...

    Hunting & Fishing Grizzily Bears pics.

    Re: Grizzily Bears pics. I'm sure it is probably an acquired taste for them but once they start they would probably keep them on the menu. I've seen grizzly within a mile or so of cattle and as far as I know there were no ongoing problems. While antelope hunting a couple years ago I came...

    Hunting & Fishing black bear hunting

    Re: black bear hunting I just started hunting black bears two seasons ago when I failed to draw an elk tag. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, initially I was just looking for an excuse to tramp around my favorite elk country. I hunted them the same way I hunt elk by sneaking...

    Suppressors Excellent choice for survival knife would be??????

    Re: Excellent choice for survival knife would be?? I got a Fehrman peacemaker this year and all I've done is sharpen it to my liking so far. It takes a great edge and seems hell for stout but I haven't put it through its paces yet. From what I hear they are a darn good knife and the steel...

    Re: 6.5x47 vs 260 and 6.5creedmore Here's the drawing I found which shows the metric equivalent of 1.551 from base to neck shoulder junction. http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/view/mb/file?username=6mmbr&id=161529 Joe

    Range Report 6.5x47 vs 260 and 6.5creedmore

    Re: 6.5x47 vs 260 and 6.5creedmore Thanks for the info. I guess some of the frustration goes with the territory of using a relatively new cartridge. I saw somewhere, probably on 6mmbr, that the distance from the base to the neck shoulder junction for the 6.5x47 is 1.551, while on the 6mmhot...
