@LRI you are a master craftsman. As said, amazing work and beautiful rifle.

Ran across the rifle online yesterday. Looks to be a great factory option for a hunting rifle. Anyone put hands on one yet?

I appreciate all the input in true Sniper's Hide fashion how this thread zigged and zagged along the way. Thank you for your input: some of it was helpful, some of it was funny, and some of it gave me worry in form of wtf. (the next person that mentions condoms or pills gets punched in the...

Fair enough - jumper cables yes, change a flat tire yes. I will review all things with her before she leaves in August.

@hlee and @748rpilot - jumper cables have been in the car since she started driving. That was just a "given" to me thinking that each vehicle should have cables. Like any car things can break, but it's a Honda Accord. I don't expect things to go sideways for her, but if anything ever does I...

Looking for thoughts/opinions/experiences on what I need to compile for her in an emergency kit to keep in her car. The drive will be 2 hours, and a great deal of it will be through the countryside. Cell service is good the entire way. She will never be too far away for me to drop what I'm...

Do you have an EDC kit? Something portable - maybe a tool burrito, or an admin/tool pouch that you keep on you, or in a pack, vehicle, office, worksite, etc. If so, what do you have? What items are always in the kit? Thanks for playing.

I think the bolt is a conversion by a smith. Compare how far the ejector slot is from the firing pin hole in both pics. Post 3 and 7

Tang safety Ruger’s did not come with manual ejectors; as stated above it should have a plunger ejector. They changed over to plunger ejector with the MK II. I have had a few of each, and still have a tang safety m77 in 270. Maybe a smith tried to convert it? Post a pic of the bolt face...

Who did your barrel work, and what chamber? thanks

Thanks to everyone for your input.

To your point - if you have to preface your statement with "not trying to be an ass" then you probably are - which you are in that statement. However, I never asked the question "can I". I already knew that answer before posting. I just wanted input from members who have done it themselves to...

Any members ever install gutters on your home? Tossing up the idea of doing it myself vs having a company install. I've watched a few videos online, and installation doesn't seem complex. I have all necessary tools except I am considering buying a rivet gun instead of using screws. thanks...

@kcsmith what is CL?

Has anyone been able to handle one of these rifles yet?

I appreciate everyone's input. I'll check into sending them off for repair, but my guess is most of your are right in that the money will be better spent on a new digital set. I don't know why they tanked on me. I never dropped them, got anything on them, and I don't leave them laying around...

So, I searched on youtube and found videos on repairing/re-clocking dial calipers. So that answer is yes. However, as anyone here attempted this and done so successfully? If it's not worth the time, I'll just let them sit on my shelf. Won't throw them out since they belonged to my dad and were...

I have a Craftsman dial caliper that my dad gave me that “lost zero”. These are stainless construction and are made in Japan. The dial won’t reset to the 12 position, and every time I open and close it stops at different readings within .004 Can this be repaired? Thank you
