    Re: Max OAL in AICS/223 mags i'm pretty sure .223AI will work just fine. in fact i'm so sure that when news of the AI .223 mags was released, i did this to my .223 AI.

    6.5x47 hunting bullets

    Re: 6.5x47 hunting bullets i used the Nosler 140 grain Partition for a lot of years in my 6.5x55s and .264 WM rifles. they do a good job, better at 6.5x55 velocities than .264 speeds. but they shot easily well enough from all of my rifles for hunting.

    Hunting & Fishing Montana Wolf tags go on sale Aug. 31

    Re: Montana Wolf tags go on sale Aug. 31 Todd, i don't get your point. FWP is in charge of both game licenses and the wolf population yet you bitch about hunters and land owners as being the problems. and speaking of back yards, does yours have wolves? what i find amusing is how those that...

    Gunsmithing Badger M5 Installation Question

    Re: Badger M5 Installation Question i did an M5 in an H-S. you do not need to re-bed the action, as the bottom metal will not shift it's position if done right. you can use the aluminum bedding block built into the H-S stock instead of installing the BO pillars. the thing is tho, that they...
