    Gunsmithing Opening a Howa Mini Bolt Face?

    I'm wondering how much I could expect to get a Howa Mini 223 bolt opened up to a 224 Valkyrie. They come with an M-16 style extractor already, that would need to be re-worked as well.

    Gunsmithing Savage Barrel Change Repeatability

    This is often a problem I have. I get a one of my switch barrel rigs shooting really well and get too afraid to take the barrel off. Then I just end up buying another rifle. That's probally why I have 8 "switch" barrel rifles.

    300 win mag itch

    I keep looking at the Ruger Long Range Target rifle in 300 Win Mag. Either that or the RPR. While I love my Savages, I just feel like there's better options in this case.

    30-06 any love anymore?

    I'm down to 4 30-06's at the moment. 2 Garands, a 1965 Winchester Target Rifle, and a custom Stiller Predator I had built to shoot the heavy 208's.

    ORIGIN Orders

    I really hope we see a long action. I'm in need of a long action that will fit Rem 700 accessories, but with savage barrel threads.

    Want a new Custom - Can't decide on Caliber

    I'm in the same boat. I know I want a 224 caliber, because of the reduced recoil and large selection of bullets sitting on my desk. But I don't know if I want to go straight fast twist 22-250, try a 22 creedmoor, or even do a 22 nosgar. Plus, X-caliber has a good sale on barrels.

    Gunsmithing Winchester 54 Rebarreling?

    I'm looking for someone who has worked on Winchester 54's. Specifically in 22 hornet. I have one with a fouled up barrel that needs to be replaced. I've already got the replacement barrel in hand and it's ready to be shipped out for work. Any recommendations?

    Sources for Savage Small Shank Prefits,

    Pacnor are top notch. Lothar Walther has a good following as well.
