    Measurement, Please !

    My son has a new found hobby, he is collecting and listening to records, yes the old 33 1/3's. He has bought a bunch of old albums, his gal has indicated to me that he "wants" a cabinet to store these in. Does anyone have an album handy they can measure ? I am going to build a tiered cabinet for...

    Gunsmithing Savage DBM / CDI REPORT

    I shoot a Savage 300 win. I started thinking I wanted a DBM to simplify unloading and loading in the field. It looks cool too. After lengthy research and a few PM's I gave Jeff at CDI a call. He said he could do the DBM no problem, I asked if he needed the rifle or if just the stock would be OK...

    F T/R Competition 110 FP

    I am going to do it. I am buying a Savage 110 FP to try F/TR. I thought this would be a good entry level start although the optics will probably break the budget, but , the only way one can improve is to participate. Notice I didn't say compete. So if you guys have any words of wisdom, I will be...

    Rifle Scopes Low profile turrets

    I have been thinking of getting a smaller scope than my 4.5 14 x 40 leuopold like a 2.5 x 10 x 32 NF. Then I was thinking maybe I could just get smaller turret knobs, say, CDS knobs from Leupold. The knobs get hung up in the saddle scabbard, that was one of my reasons for going smaller. What do...

    Brass Rotation

    How do you guys rotate your brass, if you rotate at all? I mean, say, you have 300 pcs of RWS 300 win brass. Do you fire the entire 300 and then re-size or neck size the whole lot again, or, Do you work off 100 for 4-5 firings and then go to another 100? Just curious. Thank you

    Weight loss

    I guess I can post this here as well as anywhere else. Some of you who have bought some things from me know this story. Last November my wife was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Upon hearing this, my course of action was to get both of our asses in the gym and get us healthier and stronger to...

    Rifle Scopes Optic stuff weight and obj. diameter

    I recently sold a NF scope here. I loved the scope. What I didn't like necessarilly was the weight and the obj. diameter. I have Lupie 4.5 X 14 X 40's w/ TMR's on rifles and I like them. I don't think they are the world's greatest scopes but the glass is good and the clicks are repeatable so...

    Gunsmithing Work done by Member

    I recently had my rifle re-barreled by one of our members DSINK. He trued the action, ground the recoil lug, installed a Benchmark barrel which he Duracoated black and bedded my rail. This is a Savage rifle, he did not install the barrel nut. He cleaned the trigger mechanism and I think he even...

    Gunsmithing To deep throat or not to deep throat....

    Getting a rebarrel done on the trusty old 300 win, the smith resides here, Benchmark barrel 1-10" 26". It shoots 210 Bergers jammed in the lands well now.

    Bad Transactions??

    I am almost scared to buy anything on line anymore. I have had two bad incidents back to back in the last ten days. I bought, or so I thought, a bow quiver on Ebay. Paid with PayPal and waited. Seller sent to it to my previous address and says "Too Bad". I even emailed him concerning correct...

    Rifle Scopes Swaro Rangefinder

    I am thinking of buying a Swaro rangefinder. I want to use it as a rangefinder and as compact bino's to save some weight while hunting. Will it perform well enough as bino's, I know it gets stellar reviews as a rangefinder. I was curious if it will do both as well. Thanks Guys

    300 RUM

    I have the opportunity to buy a used Rem 700 300 RUM. The guy is deperate to sell. No optics, he said the barrel was sent away for cryo treatment and a local smith has put a break on it. I am loaded with 30 cals, 308 30-06 and 300 win mag. My idea if I buy was to use action maybe for a 338 edge...

    Maxpedition

    Waht do you guys think of those Maxpedition one-shoulder packs? I have been looking at the Monsoon model. Mostly for quick access to gear while hunting, quicker than a standard back pack I guess. Thanks
