    What do you use your rifles for?

    Re: What do you use your rifles for? I use them as an investment. They don't have the longevity of gold, but they'll last more than a lifetime with a little care. They'll become more valuable if or when dollars and stocks become less valuable. They keep their value better than food and...

    Accuracy on last shot?

    Re: Accuracy on last shot? On all but the last shot there is a cartridge pressing against the underside of the bolt at the time of firing. I'm not sure that's the answer, but there are good reasons for benchrest rifles to be single shot.

    Gunsmithing Is there danger in a faster twist?

    Re: Is there danger in a faster twist? Have you ever played with a toy gyroscope. If you spin one very fast and set it on its stand it will hold its position but it will be jittery from minor balance imperfections. If you tilt it, it will precess rapidly with a small radius on the upper...

    Rifle Scopes Whats the best scope to fight MIRAGE?

    Re: Whats the best scope to fight MIRAGE? I'm not going to join the fray on which scope is "better" to fight mirage. There is no mechanism or technique in any commercial rifle scope or spotting scope which can correct for atmospheric scintillation (aka mirage). It is possible to correct for...

    Suppressors Sandstorm recall

    Re: Sandstorm recall Thank you Kel, I'll call the office. I have no doubt you're trying to do what's right by me. "I can say there have been "dozens" promptly inspected, re-welded, and sent back within the first few days" Are you saying all of the returned suppressors are being...

    Hunting & Fishing one and only one rifle for any north american game

    Re: one and only one rifle for any north american game It's a silly question. If I'm ever restricted to only one rifle it will either be because all firearms have been banned and I'm in hiding or I'm on my death bed. In either case I won't be hunting game.

    estimated bullet velocity of this 168 amax load?

    Re: estimated bullet velocity of this 168 amax load? I'm assuming you're talking about a 308 Win cartridge, though your post doesn't say so. You didn't state case capacity of Federal or Win brass, Quickload assumes 56 grains H20 for both. It's easy to measure with a fired cartridge. It also...

    are these worth anything?

    Re: are these worth anything? There's another way to look at it. Unless it's turning to rust any firearm will hold it value better than the US dollar these days.
