    I really want to build one of these...

    Nice test.

    I really want to build one of these...

    Long time since I had to cut fuze safety and crimp a detonator to the fuze BUT six (6) inches might be a tad short for the first length off the roll. Too late at night here, to drag out my old SME supplied information.

    I really want to build one of these...

    Good solution for ‘porch pirate’ issues, after you steel plated the front entrance of your house😁.

    French FRF2 Sniper rifle

    That sounds good. I suggest that you post them in this thread and that you also start a new thread with the title: French FRF1/FRF2 manuals and related documents. I will, meanwhile, happily practise my French comprehension with the first document. My surname is French but the relevant...

    Excellent resource. Thank you.

    Early Designated Rifleman

    No issues with lead cleanup. Makes me wonder if some of the smaller Swiss ranges could change over to crossbows where they cannot afford to upgrade lead containment.

    JH Hall Rifle Build.... It's vintage... if not totally snipery...

    Are you going to dress up as a US dragoon, like Phil Spangenberger did for his Hall rifle article, many moons ago😁?

    Rebarrelling an Ex PU Sniper (?)

    Keep the barrel, just like car collectors who keep corroded wire wheels, etcetera and use new ones for driving.

    Marine Team Rifle returns to Camp Perry 96 yrs later

    One small question, sir. What with all the time spent in the archives, posting in this forum and showing the rifle off at live firing ranges ... does your front lawn now resemble a patch of elephant grass😁? Thanks for the updates. I look forward to further installments.

    Argentine Nedinsco Scope?

    It is my understanding that the Argentine snipers in the Falklands used FN FAL rifles and that the mercenary snipers who spoke with Yank accents used Remington 700 based rifles.

    Info needed, .300 savage and 250-3000

    The supposed 1-14" twist can be closer to 1-15", as measured by John Barsness. In which case, you restrict yourself to 87 gr flat base loads. The 87 gr Hornady should be equivalent in hardness to the 100 gr Sierra.

    Info needed, .300 savage and 250-3000

    The Savage 99 is a good rifle and the 250 Savage does better than the .243 Winchester with less powder and barrel erosion. Should be an easy sell. The .300 Savage will take a bit longer to sell, unless you are in a wooded area where that chambering is still popular.

    Vintage Sniper Rifle Picture Thread

    Yes ... those bum bags were occasionally useful but a modern pack with detachable day pack is a far better solution.

    1896 Swedish Mauser question

    The January-March 2007 Number 53 issue of Guns & Game-a discontinued quarterly from Australia-contains an article by Gary Przibilla, the Australian Mauser 98 expert of that time. It is entitled: Swedish Mauser M1896 “Hand Grenade”. The article was prompted by an account of a Kimber-sporterised...

    Simple task but one that I leave to the professionals.

    1896 Swedish Mauser question

    I got into reloading after selling my Husqvarna Model 38 and buying a brand Winchester Model 70. I deliberately sidestepped the issue of loading projectiles further out, given that one person has already gone somewhat ‘off point’. If you wish to post images of 6.5x55 SE military chamber...

    Summer Squirrel Rifles

    Have fun. Is the scope still set for 100m or has the parallax been reset to 75 yards?

    1896 Swedish Mauser question

    Common sense should always prevail. As someone who ran a Club Range Complex for fourteen years, I assert that those words can never be reiterated too often. 1. Set the overall cartridge length so that every round you load is either at or just under the stated length in the manual. Bullet ogives...
