    The correct short action magazine for the correct 6.5 Creedmore COAL length

    You’re making it way to complicated. Factory rounds will fit in any factory SA magazine. Just go shoot. You won’t have a problem.

    GAP Sikes Edition Hunter???

    I just had GAP build a custom. I sent all the parts (Bighorn TL3, Manners EH1, Krieger barrel, Geiselle trigger, Hawkins bottom metal), and they did the full build. They also supplied a second barrel in a different caliber. Their price for building is very reasonable and deliver time was exactly...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sharpening your blades?

    Well I just bought a Tormek T8. I’ve been using a Ken Onion Workshop for a few years. I’m on my second set of belts, so I’ve use it quite a bit. It does produce a good edge but there are a few things I don’t like. First, the angle guide sucks. The blade is not locked at a set angle. It’s a wide...

    Rifle Scopes March Scopes rumors - New scopes are going for final testing

    I had a 3-24x52 for a while. Honestly, the turrets were fantastic. Very firm and tactile clicks. I've had just about every scope out there at some point, and can honestly say the March turrets were the 2nd best I've ever felt, behind Tangent Theta. I just didn't like the finicky parallax...

    Rifle Scopes A brand new Schmidt & Bender PMII 5-25x56 FFP with debris or stains of grease inside of it ?

    I had one a few years ago with the same issue. Grease spot appeared after a couple of range trips. S&B had it fixed and return to me very quickly.

    Rifle Scopes Need info on IOR Valdada 6-24 X 56 scope.

    I’m not sure where you heard Nightforce is the holy grail of scopes or that S&B customer service is horrible. I’ve had multiples of both and can confirm that neither are true. Nightforce is good, but definitely not the holy grail, and I’ve dealt with S&B customer service. Their CS was stellar...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Vise and Action Wrench

    Recently received this from SAC. I have a Bighorn TL3 and a couple of barrels. Initially used a cheap 21st century vise, but quickly realized it left a lot to be desired. I really like the hinged design of the SAC vise with one bolt to tighten. Very easy to load the barrel into the vise, and the...

    Rifle Scopes First Mil-Dot scope question

    You’re hitting the zero stop. Loosen the turret screws, rotate the turret cap CCW in the up direction about half a turn. Then retighten the turret cap screws. That will allow more downward adjustment. You should then be able to zero.

    Gunwerks Verdict

    Their stocks do look quite nice and I've thought about buying a Clymr stock for my bighorn. The pricing on their stocks is in the same range as a Manners, and I didn't think they were overpriced at all. They offer the stocks with a couple different configurations/options for the mounting...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Windage Turret Issue Following 200-yd Zero of New Scope

    Possibly, or the holes are slightly off in relation to the bore. Could be a number of things. I’ve had rifles that required 4-5 moa windage adjustment from center at 100 yards. That’s all been with remingtons. Probably won’t see that with a custom action. If your reticle provides you with...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Windage Turret Issue Following 200-yd Zero of New Scope

    Just hold for wind. It could be imperfections in the base alignment to the receiver, not the scope.

    Gunsmithing Robert Gradous

    This is a true loss. There are lots of good gunsmiths, but there was only one Robert Gradous. Prayers for his family and friends. He was an artist and genuinely good human being.
