    Caliber Options: 18" Bolt Action for Hunting

    I'll throw another option at you.... 6.5x55 and here is why. I have one in a Win 70 featherweight that is very accurate (22in barrel if I recall correctly). It has very little muzzle blast and very low recoil with factory loads. Brass is very inexpensive and components are easy to find...

    Rifle Refinishing in Ceracoat.

    Sorry about the fire and what you are having to go through with that! Thanks for the heads up. I knew he did great work on shotguns but didn't know he did any other gunsmithing or coating. I just figured out yesterday, he is only about 20 miles from me!

    HOWA heavy barrel varmint rifle

    Howa makes a good action. i will second Sulcop96 though and say just find an action or barreled action and put a new stock on it. I bought a 22-250 howa varmint gun years ago that was a 3/4 inch gun out of the box. I got a smith to bed the wood stock and do a good trigger job on it and it...

    Wow... I like that. I already have a 40x, you think he would be interested in converting it? Wonder what he would charge? If he is looking for advertisement, you may want to put that over on Rimfirecentral.com as well.

    RFI: Sandals Vacation Experiences?

    I enjoyed Sandals at St. Lucia when I stayed there a few years ago. it was our honeymoon and it was very enjoyable. My biggest complaint was that although the drinks are free... They are watered down. I am pretty sure even the beer was because i could drink all day and never feel any effects...

    how tolerant should I be of neighbors dog ?

    hamstur is right.... call the sheriff's dept. and file a report. 2am is bullshit, and you are a better man than me for putting up with it. After you call the PD a few times and the same cop comes out to do the report once or twice, I bet they will do a good job of convincing the neighbor...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns STI experiences/opinions wanted

    Thanks guys! Sounds like everyone has been pretty happy with the gun itself and very few have had experiences with customer service. That is the best of both worlds. I have been looking at there 5" tactical model for a gun to shoot some of the USPSA matches with now but also be a carry weapon...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns STI experiences/opinions wanted

    I have had the 1911 bug for a while and have been doing quite a bit of reading and researching on several different pistols. I recently started looking into STI and wondered what the general consensus was.... I know that a lot of the competition shooters use them but are they worth the price...

    My Manners ordeal at stocky's stocks: UPDATED WITH MESSAGE FROM STOCKY'S

    Manners is a good company so don't get a sour taste in your mouth about the product itself, just the vendor. To that note... I would call Manners and let them know how you have been treated and exactly what they told you. It probably won't do any good, but you never know. If I produced a...

    Caliber choice for a M700 Ti action (long)?

    You are going to run into issues with the 6.5 SAUM. The bolt face would have to be opened up and it is a short action cartridge which may lead to feeding problems. I would go with 6.5x284 or 6.5-06AI. You may also want to look at 284win if you want the ability to shoot slightly bigger...
