    Gunsmithing Bolt action single to repeater

    Re: Bolt action single to repeater My gunsmith didn't really seam to think it would be a problem. He has built about 15 customs for me. He has been a machinist for 40 years. I would think he would have said something.

    Gunsmithing Bolt action single to repeater

    Re: Bolt action single to repeater The 40x action will lose its value by milling it. I dont think the Lawton 7500 action will lose much. I don't plan on selling the actions after the work is done. I will post the cost of the milling after the work is done.

    Gunsmithing Bolt action single to repeater

    Re: Bolt action single to repeater took the actions off today. One action was goulded. That is a bitch to get off. The first action came right off. The next one took a little work. Sending the actions off to get the work done.

    Gunsmithing Bolt action single to repeater

    Re: Bolt action single to repeater Shipped to my Gunsmith and the wait begins. I like the actions if they cost cheaper than a new. Then that is better than buying a new action. I thought the same thing about buying a new action but then what to do with these. Sell them at a discount price...

    .260 vs .300 Win Mag - Bolt Action Rifle

    Re: .260 vs .300 Win Mag - Bolt Action Rifle The 260 is a great choice for long range. It will go to 1400 yards with about 51 moas with 139s. I have shot it out to 1700 yards with no success. I would think the 300 wm would be a better choice than a 260 but not by much. I would chose the 338...

    Range Report 260 123amax VS 140..

    Re: 260 123amax VS 140.. Depending on the barrel. Some barrels are faster than others (same barrel manufacturer,twist and length.) Shooting the moly coated bullets does help. Bare bullets does raise the pressure. The heavies usually get around 2750 to 2850 fps. Moly might get you some gain...

    Advanced Marksmanship Shot group at 600 yds

    Re: Shot group at 600 yds The truck bed is not the best place to shoot. On some days in the freezing cold, I would shoot out of it to block the wind. The groups would not be as good but was a lot warmer. The ground is prefered.

    NEWCON OPTIK RANGEFINDERS

    Re: NEWCON OPTIK RANGEFINDERS I had the 4000 model and it would only range 2000 yards. The guy told me all kind of excuses. I sold that unit and bought the Terrapin PLR 05. This does everything that unit did not do. I would look at other range finders before this one. Do some digging on this...
