    Moving, what guns to take?

    AZ is a good place to be. Take all of 'em with you, find a good and secure place to live, and never go back east again.

    Cleaning Rifle After Shooting?

    I like this, but in reality I do clean sometimes, depending on conditions and what is (or could be) coming up next that I need that rifle for. Since I came up many years ago indoctrinated in the "clean after every use or every time in the field/bush", I still do some maintenance routinely (old...

    Winchester M70

    The height of bases listed by Unertl seems different from what I have seen for the M70s, the receiver block was the same for all (0.185"), but the Target barrel block 0.360", and the Bull Gun block 0.262". Am sure that Steve Earle will know what you need when you determine what barrel...

    Winchester M70

    You are correct, the rear tang on the earlier (pre- '48?) action was shaped differently (semi cloverleaf), and those actions were clip-slotted. Sounds like you are on the way to a nice build. Even after years of shooting the Rems and various customs (since about 1970), the old Win Model 70...

    what do you use to kill tree rats

    I agree with Justin, I like 'em a lot. Rabbits too. Also nutria, raccoon and several other things you may not have tried yet. In fact, most lifeforms look better on a bed of rice, IMO.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Clearance: Barely Enough Room for a $1 Bill?

    Clearlight--- Seems like insufficient data here.......some of the Sako mounting arrangements I've noticed were kinda, er, cute....but dainty-lookin. In your opinion could it be that he just needed a better (more robust) set of mounts/rings for his scope?

    Rifle Scopes Scope Clearance: Barely Enough Room for a $1 Bill?

    So, did you turn the "blurry" NF 8-32 down to 25 to see if the additional magnification was why it was blurry when the barrel heated up?

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt problem or Badger Ring problem

    15 in/lb and 65 in/lb Just happened to have Badger P/N 306-75 for 1.0" USMC M40A3 rings sitting on desk right now

    Rifle Scopes Scope rings for surgeon 1581 xl action

    With that Surgeon XL action, the Badger rings seem like a natural choice, IMO. Get some STEEL rings on there.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Clearance: Barely Enough Room for a $1 Bill?

    I have more than one rifle without enough clearance to slip a bikini cover on (including at least one Hensoldt). Listen to Rob01. And get out and shoot it.

    what do you use to kill tree rats

    Head shots, period. It's more difficult with greys, cause they move more. Now I use a S&W Model 17 revolver, full lug 8-3/8" barrel, scoped, with subsonic 22LR, but grew up shooting squirrels with a rifle using 22 shorts. Shorts seem to work better than LR, less velocity so bullet energy...

    Rifle Scopes How do I get brass marks off windage turret?

    use a black "sharpie" and do some touch-up if it bothers you so much....................and from now on....paint each round black before you load up.

    Anyone Use an Actual AR Lower to Build a 22AR Anymore?

    Check with Compass Lake Engineering, their upper is very good. Might also check with Accuracy Speaks.
