    Well, it took some time but here we go!

    Ahh.... That up and down motion kind of looks a bit like a beginners guide to lovemaking. I suppose that was uncalled for. I will be quiet now.

    Interesting 40X, it kinda feels wrong for what I am thinking about doing to it.

    buffalowinter I apologize for responding to your post in such a snide manner. It was uncalled for on my part to lash out at you in such a manner. It must have been my inner-self of a by-gone era creeping to the surface. The fond memories of seeing many fine shooters (that have since passed...

    Well there you go Kells81 it apparently has been determined that what you have there is neither rare nor interesting, contrary to the title of your post so have it, use it for a jack handle for that matter.

    Interesting 40X, it kinda feels wrong for what I am thinking about doing to it.

    It looks like you have a 40-X repeater as that might explain the front port relief as it is clip slotted just like the attached photo which is the left side of a 40-XC action. This may not win me any Brownie points but if I remember correctly we still live in a country (This Ain't Russia...

    Aperture sight rifle

    Pretty much what redbullitt said. Parker Hale, MO's, Redfield Olympic, Redfield International all are quality rear aperture sights but not always right out of the box, but usually a gunsmith can 'true up' the sight. Availability may be problematic thought. I understand that Lyman makes or has...

    Mullerworks barrels?

    My understanding is that Broughton Barrels was sold to/or bought by Mueller Works and the latter produces some excellent barrels as did the former. I myself have not owned or shot either of the two but some well respected shooters and gunsmiths that I have communications with have spoken...

    Is this action, toast? (Resolved)

    Well all I can say is... SWEET.

    Is this action, toast? (Resolved)

    If it was a Lebel then you would have 'French Toast'. Or if you put some thin slices of turkey, ham and Swiss cheese on it then you would have a Monte Cristo. Just kidding. On a more serious note I had some minor galling on the lugs of an action I bought from a hunter who was switching to...

    Which has best longevity given good care? Longevity of wood vs McMillan stocks or other similar high quality fiberglass/carbon fiber/synthetic stock

    Many years ago there was an article in American Rifleman about wood stocks that were treated with PEG or Polyethylene Glycol (SP) and essentially they would take a walnut stock and place it into a container to fit the stock and pour the PEG over it and let the stock marinate for a period of...

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    I am not sure my post is relevant as my experiences are several decades old as the attached photos indicate. But here goes anyway. A Remington 700 action is what my rifles are based on and I ended up with two short actions and one long action with the latter being in 30.06 cal. One of the...

    Two very different hunting rifles

    Naw, can't fool anybody. They are the same rifle and you just did some photo shopping. HaHa

    Normal wear or not?

    eod.mickelson It sounds like you are referring to the wear as seen in the second photo, correct? If so is it enough of a difference that when you run your fingernail along the axis of the bolt and it comes to that line of delineation it catches your fingernail? Even if that is the case, more...

    Normal wear or not?

    OMG!! I can not believe you still have that in your possession. It is totally worn our and useless. Being a nice guy and kind soul it would be my duty and pleasure to take it off your hands post haste. Send it to me by UPS and we are all good. OK, that was uncalled for on my part so on a...

    .243 questions

    It should be, depending on what you intend to use it for. A while back I purchased a Winchester 670 in .243 which had a 1 in 10 twist. It was not the most fancy rifle but it was all I could afford at the time. Did my first handloading with a Lee Loader which made me appreciate each and every...

    Got a cheap bore scope. Is this rifle cooked?

    That was a rather drastic reaction from Tikka to 'destroy' the rifle. It sound like they realized that their Q&A was/is sub-par and someone let the rifle out of their manufacturing facility. They are now faced with 'backing water' on the rifle and easier to let 'Billy' take the blame and say...

    Divots in my grooves

    Ridge_Walker, I, myself have not experienced a bullet that didn't hit the target or disappear during a match, though I did miss the target, low and in the dirt at Camp Perry shooting The Wimbledon. It was my first sighter and the second sighter caught paper but low, scoring only a 7. I do...

    Divots in my grooves

    Bagger Vance here chiming in for Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. Me thinks we need more information: Was this your tee shot or were you in the fairway? If it was the latter then change your grip and choke up on the club shaft a bit. If it was the former then tee up the ball a little higher...

    Recommended 308 Grain?

    Thank you nn8734 for clarifying my post. My exposure to M118 was several years ago and back then all I ever had experience with was the 173 grain bullet. In retrospect I guess my post was rather outdate and probably not relevant to this century or millennium.

    Recommended 308 Grain?

    My response would be on the same lines as BenW and Vargmatll. Check to make sure the barrel is free floated and that everything that is suppose to be tight, is tight. Maybe have a competent gunsmith go through the rifle to make sure everything 'specs' out. As for the .308, it is probably the...

    308win Bartlein 5R vs Krieger 4 Groove Accuracy Testing

    Frank, thank you for taking the time to clarify that John never worked for 'Boots' and I say that in all sincerity. About the time I started shooting High Power (which was nearly 4 decades ago) I was quite naive to say the least but had the good fortune to befriend 4 individuals who for...
