    Rifle Scopes Is my scope tracking correctly

    I have a Vortex Razor Gen 1, 5-20x50 and I need your opinion as to if it's not tracking correctly. I'm leaving Oct. 5 for a Colorado antelope hunt. First time out after sighting it in I took it to 455 yards. Shooters App gave 2.0 mils elevation. I only needed 1.8 mils on the scope to get on the...

    Rifle Scopes Help a hunter choose his scope

    I'll be buying from Experticity so the prices are very close to one another. I'll be putting it on a GAP built 7wsm which is used for deer, hog, antelope hunting and steel when I'm working things up for an upcoming hunt. With one child now out of college and another one in her 2nd year I'm...

    Alpha Mags with 7WSM

    I've got a Winchester with a hinged floor plate and I'm debating going with CDI bottom metal or keeping it as is. What concerns me most is the alpha mags have a max COAL of 2.97" and my current set up has a COAL of 3.04". My rifle is strictly for hunting and I would like to have the extra round...

    Some people probably shouldn't have a CCW permit

    I live in a state that is very gun friendly and we have the option to carry open or concealed which I take advantage of. Some of us who do carry in my state are pretty damn stupid. Case in point, my son and I were in a battery store Saturday morning to get a new battery for his lap top. An...

    H4350 for those living in OKC

    The reloading Jeannie smiled on me today. Was able to score 2lbs (with the wife buying one) H4350 at H&H Gun Range. Now I can try the 140gr Hybrids in my sons 260.

    7WSM and H1000

    I've shot Berger 180gr hunting VLD's using 65.8grs H1000 and have constantly achieved +/-2,950fps. The other day I decided to try my hand at shooting 180gr Hybrids using the same load of H1000. Base to ogive was the same for both loads, same die bushing, and same primers. The only difference...

    Berger 7mm 180gr Hunting VLD

    If you are wondering like me when 180gr VLD's will be back on retail shelves this is the response from Berger I received today. I guess I'll work up some 168gr for the Oct. antelope hunt. "The 7mm 180 Grain Match VLD Target bullets are about to be produced, which leads me to believe that once...

    Gunsmithing Winchester M70 CRF caming lever in safety

    Perfect weather today in Okla. to shoot so I went out and shot 80 rounds. Four times after chambering a round the rifle wouldn't fire with the safety off. And when I tried to rotate the safety to the on position it wouldn't rotate. The only way I could fire the weapon or put it on safe was to...

    Tubb speed lock firing pin for M70

    I'm a bit of a tight wad and have been debating getting one of these for my Winchester M70. Has anyone had any experience with this firing pin? I read on a different forum of light primer strikes and miss fires. If it does reduce lock time I thought it might be worth it but if it causes problems...

    Went to a crazy auction

    I went to an estate sale in a small rural town (Hinton Okla.) which had a lot of firearms for sale. Let me tell you, either people have more money than sense or the firearms buying has really gone crazy. Point in fact, used Rem. 870 20ga youth model, $550; Ruger 10-22 22mag, $1,200; Ruger P90...

    Gunsmithing Safety problem on a Winchester action

    I have a Winchester action 7wsm built by a very good builder all of you would know. I’m having a problem with my safety that does not occur constantly. With the safety in off position the trigger will not break to fire the weapon and when you try to rotate the safety to the on position it will...

    Need guidance with a Savage model 10 in .260

    Today I found a good deal on a Savage model 10 Predator Max 1 in .260 for my son. We'll use it mainly for deer hunting and occasionally on steel. I assume I can expect good accuracy out of it. Has anyone had any dealings with this model and if so what did you think? As far as reloading I'm...

    Gunsmithing Winchester action cocking piece binding

    I received today my GAP built (Winchester action) 7wsm. When I run the bolt throw hard rearward and then run it hard forward the cocking piece binds along the right edge of the channel along the rear tang of the action. To be able to push the bolt all the way in I have to physically rotate with...
