    Price of a used Tikka Supervarmint

    Have an uncle who is debating on selling his Tikka Supervarmint in 22-250. The rifle has maybe 75 rounds through it. He bought it in 2007. I've seen prices all over the interwebs from $800 to 2199.00. Does anyone know of a fair value for these rifles? I've shot it (worked up a load for him)...

    H4831 and H4831sc

    Don't want to assume anything, especially when it comes to reloading-so can one use reloading data interchangeably between these two powders? Do they produce the same pressure/burn rate? I just want to be on the safe side of things. Thanks for the help.

    Just wanting to know if there are any kits out there that will allow someone to tighten up a officers model 1911. I have a Citadel 1911 that does not have the barrel bushing. I looked on EGW but honestly do not know what I am looking for. Any help as to if this can be done would be greatly...

    Suppressors In the market...

    Hornady Concentricity Gage

    Picked up one the Hornady Lock N Load concentricity gage last night after reading some reviews on Midway. I have never worried about concentricity before and thought that it would be nice to see how concentric my loaded rounds were. The unit was pretty easy to set up, and it allows you to...

    I am currently working up a load for a relative's new Tikka T3 in 300 WSM. He wants to shoot 168 gr, Nosler Combined Tech. ballistic tips. In the #6 Nosler reloading manual H380 was the most accurate powder tested, with 60.0 grains being the sweet spot for them. Is this an optimal powder...

    Re-lining a Barrel

    I've got an old Winchester Model 67 single shot that my uncle gave to me that was in pretty rough condition. I re-blued the barrel and refinished the stock. Have it looking pretty good now. The rifle sat in a barn for about 10 years. The bore is pretty corroded and pitted close to the...

    Rem 40x Price Quotes

    Hey guys, stumbled upon a Rem 40x package at one of the shops here. They are quoteing $1600. Looks like it is in a HS stock, and possibly rebarreled. Didn't get a chance to look at it real close, just wondering what some fair prices are.

    Primer Pocket Swager...

    What are some opinions for a good primer pocket swager tool that you guys use? Thinking about buying the RCBS tool, but have read about people bending the rods on those. I have one set up to use in the cordless, but it takes so damn long. I hate brass prep. Did I mention I hate brass prep?

    Searched Everywhere

    I am wanting to know if I could use RE-15, in 5.56, with at Nosler 55gr BT. I know that it is a good powder to use with the heavier bullets, but I have a lot of 55 gr BT. IF this is a suitable powder to use would someone please post some loads?

    Trigger for AR

    Recently picked up a DPMS AR-15 and after shooting it, I decided that it needs a new trigger. I looked on Midway, and was going to buy the Chip McCormick, put it is out of stock, and no backorder. Does anyone know where I can find one of these, or recommend another comparible trigger?
