    Badger M2008 caliber choice.

    Re: Badger M2008 caliber choice. I've been shooting 140 AMAX's in my 260 @ 2.930 OAL (that's kissing the lands on my Valkyrie) & there's still a little room left in the AW mags.

    Question for TRG owners...

    Re: Wal-Mart gets more guns. Firearm sales booming. Ever since I asked about Ballistic Tip ammo at the local Wally World & the sporting goods clerk told me that they didn't sell "high explosive bullets", I generally try to steer clear of those asshats...

    LAPUA BRASS

    Re: LAPUA BRASS When I was shooting 260 AI I went 19 loadings on Lapua 243 brass before starting to get 2 or 3 neck splits out of 100 brass. No annealing on them, after I got past 10 loadings I just wanted to see how far they would go.

    Re: Looking for a gun safe I bought a Superior Master Series safe year before last, nothing but good things to say about it... http://superiorgunsafes.com/ It was a little over 1200 bucks (around 1400-ish on sale IIRC) but it is worth it!

    JC higgins

    Re: JC higgins I think the Higgins Model 50 is basically a Mauser 98 action (FN commercial Mauser) so replacement stocks should be pretty easy to find. These guys show the original style stock with buttplate & grip cap as out of stock right now, but you might give them a call, not sure how...

    Pics from tornado cleanup

    Re: Pics from tornado cleanup This is right off of Highway 58, the pile of junk was an old house they've cleaned up... Lots of snapped & twisted off trees around the edge of the field. This is about 700-800 yards before it reached the farm in the first pics.
