    Rifle Scopes Does the 7-35 ATACR invalidate the 5-25?

    I was all set to order a 5-25 w/MIL-C for a 20" .308. I had initially thought I didn't want something that big but after seeing someone else with the same combo decided to go for it, even if the top end was a little more than I needed. However, it seems that the 7-35 completely invalidates the...

    California residents, opinions needed

    I have a job offer in Bakersfield (new facility opening up in 9-12 months) and have some time to think about it. Hell, with the cost of living difference and my wife having to give up her job I would only go for double my current salary anyway. What exactly is legal/illegal in California? I...

    Gunsmithing Baffling problem with new barrel

    This is not rifle related, but hopefully I can get some good input here from some experienced smiths. I purchased a 10" .429" 8 groove 1:18" blank and had my gunsmith make an 8" barrel for a Dan Wesson I had just bought. My first time out shooting it, I brought along one of my usual handloads...

    I was looking at upgrading with this cocking piece/firing pin after hearing some good reviews on it but whenever I see lightweight firing pins I get nervous about light primer strikes. Anyone with experience setting these up have any comments?

    RL-15 made in USA??? Since when

    I just picked up 15lbs of this and was dismayed to see "Made in USA" on the label. If this is true then this no longer the same powder it was (Norma R203-B made by Bofors) and would explain why when I googled this just now people are reporting lower velocites with the "new" powder. Any...

    Powder dispenser for turret press

    I just picked up a Redding T-7 to complement my XL650. I thought I was just going to use my chargemaster to dispense everything but I guess it isn't really necessary for pistol calibers is it? I'll be throwing 10-25gr charges for .45 ACP and .44 Magnum and have no idea which automatic...

    "New" 208gr A-max

    I see that these are in stock and shipping again according to some posts here. I would assume these are the current ones that Hornady's site list as having new jackets? Has anyone compared them to the "old" ones yet to see if there is any difference lengthwise or BC wise?

    XL650 w/Redding Competition Seating Die

    Just a heads up, this combo is a no-go with long action cartridges. It was good to go when I was laoding .308 Winchester but when I tried the same die in .30-06 it is too long and the shell plate will start advancing before the cartridge is out of the die all the way.

    Hard Cases

    What is the longest hard case available? I'm almost done with a new build and need to ship it out for finishing/bedding work but it has a 28" barrel with an FTE on the end of it. None of the hard cases I know of will acommodate this and I know there are people out there with Palma guns and the...

    Gunsmithing Can toomuch freebore lead to unsafe jump distance?

    I'm thinking about throating a .30-06 REALLY long, as in long enough to load the 208gr A-max to a COAL of about 3.6" and be .020" or so off the lands since I'll be feeding from .300 WM AICS mags and they allow 3.65". My only concern is that if I do this I could never use factory ammo that is...

    Rifle Scopes Would you be satisfied with this 100yd Zero?

    Recently when zeroing in a new scope on an AR I had to bring the windage 4.3mils Right to zero it. I was suprised at this because I had used a magnetic boresighter to mount it initially and thought I would be at least on paper. Elevation was within 1 mil from the boresight zero. I've never...

    I'm trying to build my first custom rifle on a Winchester Model 70 "CLassic" action. Is there any difference inletting wise (in regards to stocks) between an action like this and the push feed actions? Also, the action I'm using is likely from the years just prior to Winchester closing their...

    20 MOA 1 Piece Base for Model 70 Long Action?

    Does anyone make one specifically for the "Classic" Model 70s (don't know if the mounts for the push feed guns will work)that have the pre-64 style action? I've checked USO and Seekins so far (they both do short actions only) and don't know where else to check.
