    Gunsmithing How to "de-shine" a polished barrel?

    I just picked up a really nice rifle. It has a Lothar Walther barrel that is polished stainless. I like stainless barrels, just not the highly polished ones. Any suggestions on how to take some of the shine off without taking the barrel off of the action? Thx.

    What effect does shortening a barrel have?

    I have two rifles with 20" barrels, one came that way, one I had a gunsmith shorten. When working up a load for them, do you still start with the starting loads on tables? i.e. does using a shorter barrel allow you to move up the tables and use more powder to start with?

    Rifle Scopes Spotting Scope Stands

    I found a great deal locally on a Celestron Ultima 100 spotting scope. It's a lot better than the cheap one I was using, but the thing is HUGE. Any recommendations on a base/stand/tripod? Thx.

    New to me .308 Tikka Varmint Questions

    I recently started shooting a Tikka Varmint in .308. Love the rifle, extremely accurate, however, tt recoils noticably more than my Savage .308 with a Duramax stock, or at least I can feel it more. Any recommendations for a replacement stock or recoil pad? I like the stock, just want more...

    Can you shorten a fluted barrel?

    I have a 26" fluted barrel. I would prefer a 22" or 20" barrel. With the flutes I can only shorten it to about 24" without cutting in to the flutes. Can you shorten a barrel into the flutes part of the barrel? I have never seen one that way, but don't know if it is even possible. Thx.
