    1980’s REM 700 Custom Help

    That's probably a rifle built for metallic silhouette, 500m. Weaver T-series and Hart barrel are classics for silhouette from that time period.

    Need help deciding M40A1 build configurations

    I used to shoot metallic silhouette, late 70'ies/80'ies, with a M700 BDL varmint with a T10 and later a T16. The scope in the picture seems to be too long for a T10. Might it be a T16? Leupold had a long base for short action that placed the forward ring over the barrel and the turrets over the...

    Recommend the most American made 30-06 for an elk hunt

    If I lived i the USA I would get a pre owned Champlin&Haskins rifle in an Elk kaliber like 7mm Rem for my bucket list hunt. The action on these are, subjectively, by far the best action on any hunting rifle ever. When the bolt closes on these you feel that you can load 64gr of plutonium behind...

    U.S. Army/Navy/USMC M14-based sniper and DMR/SDM rifles circa late-1960s to late 201Xs

    Yes, MP40. The Military Police did not like the conversion to MP5 in the 80'ies. They thought the "fear factor" was much higher with the MP40 because that's what the Gestapo used in their 0400 hour house calls and other unpleasant actions during ww2. Nothing could compare to that. The MG42s and...

    Understanding the current Accuracy International market

    To keep ageing away one needs to shoot a formal shooting event so that scores can be compared as the years go by. And, the formal event should be off hand shooting that measures physical condition. In the US I would recommend small bore metallic silhouette. Train till you score 30+ out of 40 at...

    What to pull out next from vintage trash crate?

    Looks like a MG15 from Luftwaffe is in there. 75 round saddle magazine and receiver/pistolgrip at the bottom. A delightful weapon usually made by Krieghoff.

    Why AI?

    The British "Car" magazine used to have a very short review of all cars in the last two pages. This is what they had on Toyota Corolla: - The good: Reliable - The bad: Reliable - Sum up: Proof that 50 million people can be wrong

    Guns I laughed at but now regret not buying

    Shooting a 788 vs a 700(and clone) in off hand comps, like NRA bigbore metallic silhouette, is almost like cheating due to the extremely short locktime of the 788. If the triggers are pulled at exactly the same time in a 788 vs 700 shootout the bullet from the 788 is in the air before the 700...

    Time pieces/Watches?

    I have this iconic watch, a military Roamer Super Shock. Bought it for $20. It is actually just as iconoc as the Omega Speedmaster. People just don't know. The watch is identical to the watch Paul Tibbits, pilot of the B29 Enola Gay, wore when he dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima. My watch don't...

    FBI Sniper Rifles

    There is no problem making 9mm ammo that penetrates soft kevlar body armour. I've watched a test a Norwegian gun rag did with a Soviet PSM pistol. It penetrated 24 layers ( if I remember correctly) of kevlar due to the edges of the "square" penetrator cut the kevlar fibers. The PSM is the size...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    In Norway suppressors are totally unrestricted, just like exhaust mufflers to cars. However, I'm more afraid of the Green Party wanting catalytic converters in the suppressors to clean the exhaust gasses :cool:

    Norway missed out on the best sniper rifle in WW2

    In 1938 the Norwegian Army understood that the Krag was not the action for a military sniper rifle. Kongsberg Arms Factory bought 25 M96 Mauser actions from Sweden to build prototypes. The M38 sniper prototype configuration is mind boggeling. For the scoped rifle Kongsberg used an action...

    Hmm, the Win M70 XTR montecarlo stock seemes to have been dropped by McMillan. Can't find it on their website any more. There is only the pre64 pattern stock there now.
