    Hunting & Fishing 223 for deer-best factory load?

    Researching this question makes me very glad I reload my own. I can get a lot more power out of my loads than you can buy anywhere commercially.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Whats the best designed true fighting knife

    This is a work of art. Truly good for only one thing, but a work of art nonetheless.

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting rifles that shoot FAR better than they should.

    This Remington 788 Carbine was like that. Crazy accurate with decent ammo. Great in-the-woods hunting rifle.

    That is one heck of a nice looking rifle. What barrel twist did you use on it?

    AI 223 Mags?

    Anyone seen Accuracy International .223 magazines for sale recently? Any idea when they'll be available again? Are they really in that high demand or are they simply not being made?

    SAUM vs WSM

    build your rifle according to what reloading components and/or ammo you can find. Otherwise, you're just pissing in the wind. Also, don't forget about the Ruger Compact Magnum or using the old short action Remington 6.5 magnum and 350 magnum brass. all can be necked accordingly.

    Rifle Scopes 10 mil or 5 mil

    I've tried both. I so rarely use more than 5 mils of elevation that I like the more distinct clicks and spacing on a 5 mil turret than a 10 mil turret.

    Gunsmithing New Proof Research Press Release

    $400-$600 price for a carbon wrapped barrel, single point / cut rifled barrel? The last price I was quoted was $910. However, that has been almost 2 years since I spoke with anyone from Proof. Maybe the prices have come down.

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    George, am I seeing things or is the action on that green rifle built with a smaller ejection port? Looks like it has more "meat" on the top making it a stiffer action. True? Or do I need to get my eyes checked?

    Best varmint rifle from factory?

    Sorry, didnt see the $1200 budget on the first read. In that case a 5R Stainless Steel Remington 700 is the way I'd go. So many great upgrades for it and so much demand and value on resale. Those .223 AI mags and chassis systems really make for a stand out rifle.

    Best varmint rifle from factory?

    The Steyr Tactical Elite is a factory rifle that I would stack up against any other factory rifle. Without going to a custom built rifle, this Steyr is more accurate than any other factory rifle I have ever shot. STEYR ELITE :: steyr-mannlicher.com :: count on it

    I'm done with MidwayUSA

    I'm glad so many of you are "done with Midway". That should make it easier for me to get whatever I'm looking for. Now to get people to "be done with" Powder Valley, Graf & Sons, 3rd Generation Shooter Supplies, etc!
