    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace

    Re: Falcon Menace I am like you, in the respect that I don't have the budget to put the nicest glass on all of my rifles. I wish I could but it ain't happenin'. Anyway, for a $400 FFP scope it gets the job done for me. I have the scope sitting on top of a 22-250. I have shot it out to...

    Need a recommendation

    Re: Need a recommendation I would also recomemd a Tikka or Howa. Dont forget Model 70 as well. The Tikka action is soooo smooth though. They really are great out of the box rifles.

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace

    Re: Falcon Menace In my opinion it gets pretty small. You can still see the mil lines but to me it is difficult. In low light it is even harder. I rarely (if ever) shoot with mine set on the lowest power. Usually six is as low as I go. Don't get me wrong, 4x you can still see the...

    Hornady Concentricity Gage

    Re: Hornady Concentricity Gage In response to vman, and 427Cobra, Do you think taht the unit is made cheaply? Sinclair pumps out some good stuff. Should've probably looked at those first. I too am starting to question the accuracy of the gage itself now that you mention it. I don't...

    Gunsmithing help with a winchester 70 scope base

    Re: help with a winchester 70 scope base I have a short action too that when I ordered the short action from evolution gun works it didn't fit. I called them and they shipped me out 2 other bases to try on their dime. The WSM was the base that fit. They also paid return shipping. WSM is...

    Hornady Concentricity Gage

    Picked up one the Hornady Lock N Load concentricity gage last night after reading some reviews on Midway. I have never worried about concentricity before and thought that it would be nice to see how concentric my loaded rounds were. The unit was pretty easy to set up, and it allows you to...

    Anyone tried H380 for 300 WSM?

    Re: Anyone tried H380 for 300 WSM? Well, went out and tried the H380 today. I was shooting sissy style using a leadsled. Doesn't look like the H380 is going to cut the mustard. I was getting alot of fliers, it would put damn near in the same hole, then one would be up and away about...

    CDNN

    Re: CDNN Don't mean to hi-jack at all. I have looked at CDNN for those "FN actions" and all I see is complete rifles. Are you guys buying the rifles and scrapping the stock and barrel, or are you just getting the actions. I have been interested in picking up a FN action for sometime now.

    Anyone tried H380 for 300 WSM?

    Re: Anyone tried H380 for 300 WSM? Ok, sounds good. I think I'll try the 380 and I a few pounds of IMR4350. Thank you.

    Anyone tried H380 for 300 WSM?

    Re: Anyone tried H380 for 300 WSM? So would IMR 4350 be a better choice, or RL 19? He wants the bullets loaded to mag length. He only shoots his rifles for hunting. So I guess I'll have to make due. In short, is there a magic powder that works well for this round? Thanks for your help...

    Anyone tried H380 for 300 WSM?

    I am currently working up a load for a relative's new Tikka T3 in 300 WSM. He wants to shoot 168 gr, Nosler Combined Tech. ballistic tips. In the #6 Nosler reloading manual H380 was the most accurate powder tested, with 60.0 grains being the sweet spot for them. Is this an optimal powder...

    Re-lining a Barrel

    Re: Re-lining a Barrel Thank you. I don't have access to a lathe, but my gunsmith does . That sounds like a deal. Can I PM when I decide to buy the liner (Edit: Should've read it again, I'll PM you when I decide to buy a liner)? Also, one more question. I took some very fine 400 grit...

    Re-lining a Barrel

    Re: Re-lining a Barrel Thank you, we are excited for the new arrival! The barrel cannot be removed from the action. I should take it to my smith and see what he thinks. The bolt is so loose, this thing went to hell and back.

    Re-lining a Barrel

    I've got an old Winchester Model 67 single shot that my uncle gave to me that was in pretty rough condition. I re-blued the barrel and refinished the stock. Have it looking pretty good now. The rifle sat in a barn for about 10 years. The bore is pretty corroded and pitted close to the...
