    Rifle Scopes Does anyone make something like an old Weaver CT10?

    Looking for a new scope for my favorite "field" rifle (CZ452 American). I have an old Weaver CT6. A fixed 6x scope with a fine crosshair and 1/8" dot. Just one dot. Not a whole marching band of dots. It's been nearly perfect for this rifle! Well, now, I'm looking to "upgrade" slightly to...

    Idle Thoughts: Redesign an airgun "Bell Target" for .22 Rimfire?

    I've run across a very neat target, geared for 7 yard, indoor, airgun shooting that I would just flat LOVE to build and have at our club for outdoor 25 yard rimfire shooting (offhand, mostly...) The English "Bell Target", BELL TARGET SHOOTING I've come up with a number of mental "doodles"...

    A bad, and good, day at the range today...

    A lovely day in far-northern coastal California (despite the liberal politicians, hippies, pot growers, methheads, and what's with the guy in Arcata who hangs out on Alliance road with two YAKS?!?! Two honest to god Himalayan-type Yaks...). A great day for a rifle match, specifically the "Can...

    Gunsmithing Critique my long term rifle storage packing, please...

    Not sure what sub-forum this best belongs in. This one seemed appropriate. Due to a frustrating set of circumstances, I have had to down-size from a house to a small apartment. So my several dozen rifles had to be packed up and off to storage in a secret, undisclosed, location. :( I...

    Using Win 748 Powder in .223 with 75-77gr bullets?

    I find myself trying to conserve the last couple pounds of Varget for my .308 rifle, and .223 bolt action.... So my new and hardly ever been fired since I finished assembling it AR (8" twist, 18", StagArms 3GHL upper), has been sitting around unloved. I have several pounds of Win 748 that...

    Tikka 595 Owners - We have a DBM option! CDI Precision!

    A few months ago, I emailed CDI to ask some dumb question or other about "adapting" a T3 or 700 DBM to a Tikka 595... well, Jeff at CDI, instead of ignoring my dumb question (whatever it was), replied "Hmm.. you know, I've been meaning to take a look at doing one for the 595... send me your...

    Suppressors Is there a "standard" thread for suppressors and brakes?

    I currently live in the Peoples Republic of California, and cannot legally obtain a suppressor, however... in a couple years, I may be moving to a much more freedom-friendly state. One of the first things I intend to do after getting power and water at my new place (wherever it's gonna be) will...

    Value of Hathcock Autographed "White Feather" book by Chandler?

    This is NOT an offer to sell this book! Any offer will be politely declined. I've been wondering for a while what value this book might have (should I have it on my shelf, or in my safe?). It's a first edition, HAND autographed by Carlos Hathcock on a book plate in addition to the...

    Gunsmithing Need a measure on Rem700 .223 AICS Bottom Metal.

    I'm contemplating using a Rem 700 AICS DBM bottom-metal in .223 for another rifle (a Tikka 595 in .223 for which there's no bottom metal made). Trouble is, I don't have a Rem 700 .223 bottom-metal to check some dimensions on to start penciling up a plan. If some kind soul with an AICS bottom...

    What should a build cost?

    I'm not looking for a "quote" yet, nor am I trying to budget down the the dime... but I AM trying to rough out some costs so I can start selling stuff (guns, extra organs, blood...whatever sells). I'm also trying to not set myself up for disappointment if I'm grossly underestimating things. If...

    Good Builder for a Tikka 595 based build?

    I'm not even done with a .308 build on a Savage action yet, and I'm starting to plan my next rifle. I have a Left Handed Tikka 595 in .308 (the predecessor of the T3 model). It's not nearly as accurate as my Tikka 595 in .223 so I plan to strip it for its action to build a new rifle on. It'll...
