    Off Topic Stock Question

    First, thank you for all the advice and knowledge here. I usually just enjoy reading and try to learn something. It’s a pleasure to hang out and simply be around. I have acquired a beauty of an old German shotgun by Emil Kerner and Sohn. It’s a 12 bore, and quite well made from what I can tell...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Blade re-grind help

    Hi all, looking for some help on a knife I have. My grandpa passed recently, and left me his home tool boxes and tools. In a drawer was this knife. It’s clearly a home built job, of some sort of stainless. It’s had a rough life living as a shop tool and being stored without a sheath. The thing...

    Had a phenomenal hunt in Montana two weeks ago. Roamed around the greater Bozeman area looking for antelope with the bow, and hit up waterfowl opener Saturday morning. Hunted hard and stalked as close as 100 yards on 6 different set ups. Never quite came to be for a variety of reasons, but such...

    My favorite rifle.

    My grandfather passed recently. He left me his ‘71 BL 22. I mounted a simple 4x scope to it for him when he couldn’t see well enough to use the factory sights. It was minute of red squirrel head to far enough away. It was well treated, but has honest wear. I have more accurate rifles, prettier...

    Gunsmithing Rem Mag action to standard caliber?

    Apart from the bolt face, (easily solved with a call to PTG,) is there a difference in Remington 700 actions that would prevent good function with a standard cartridge, say a .270? I hav an unused magnum reciever and would like to build a new hunting rifle. I have heard that some internal feed...

    Anschutz MPR inbound.

    One of my earliest memorable shooting experiences was shooting an ancient Anschutz target rifle at about scout camp. At 30' it would put ten rounds into a dime sized hole. Coming from a basic 10/22 at home this was a phenomenally different experience! I've wanted an Anschutz ever since, but...

    Alright, first post here after a lot of reading. I finally got my first reloading setup. I've decided to reload for my my .44 mag revolver before moving on to more complicated rifle rounds. My set up consists of a Rockchucker 2, Lee primer seating tool, and RCBS carbide dies. I wanted to...

    First day out with the Winchester 75t.

    Finally made it out with the Winchester 75t I purchased a while back. I am thoroughly happy with the rifle. After a full cleaning of the trigger assembly, bolt, and gun in general it shoots really well. The trigger on the rifle surpasses all my expectations, and it simply hits what it is...

    Rem 513t vs Win 52

    I'm looking at purchasing my first, (and likely for a while my only,) aperture sighted classic target .22. I've been looking at a 513t, a Win 75t, and a Win 52 locally. The 75t has a Lyman rear sight with a front post. The 513t is a US Property marked one, and wears proper Redfield Olympic...
