    My Manners ordeal at stocky's stocks: UPDATED WITH MESSAGE FROM STOCKY'S

    kinda bummed about the stock thing the most. I was excited about trying out a manners for this build. I have several mcmillans and some nice laminates but wanted to try the manners. Kinda a foul taste now about the whole thing. The "fingerprints" on manners stocks was just a bit too much.

    yeah, I'd get that if it were a custom order…..but, like their lit says this was "in-stock inventory"……..rem 700 rh/sa varm bc for goodness sake….I am sure they would have it resold before they had even fully processed my %25 fee

    Gunsmithing looking for smith for sako 75

    I have a sako 75 varmint in 223. I love the rifle and have put it in a mcmillan stock and spent a bit of money on it. But, it has always suffered from poor extraction and ejection. Hunting with it this winter I noticed it is way worse in the cold or just time has made it worse. I know this...

    Hunting & Fishing 223/5.56 for deer. Who here does it !

    I would tend to agree given my small sample size too. But, what I have hypothesized as well is that at slower speeds (past 400) the 60grain vmax starts to act like a more traditional soft point and that you actually get some good expansion…...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-6x24 for my .243?

    the older I get and the more I hunt, the smaller my knives get and the lower the magnification on my scopes gets. Just seems like sometimes less is more….. The optics in both the swfa and leupold partrol are good---i've hunted with them both. Last three deer I have taken my 3-10 scope was set...
