Working up loads on my bolt gun today and managed to pop a primer and stick my ejector. Any help on getting her loose? I have a spare ejector in my hand with a spring and pin on the way from Numrich. I've disassembled the bolt and have her sitting in a puddle of PB blaster. Think I might have to...

Picked up an older (flat back pre-accutrigger) savage 7mm Rem Mag for $150 last year, changed out the bolt face and put a 1:9 Shilen 280AI barrel on it. Not knowing how well it would shoot and not having a lot of money to blow I put it in a Boyd's thumbhole laminate. Well it shoots and now I'm...

Did some trading this week for a M1A Std. This has always been on my list of firearms to own. Well the local shop got one in and I knew it was going home with me once I saw it in person. Took it to the range today just to play. Had a bunch of XM80 I had picked up on sale really just for...

Shooting today and my 5rd AI would fall down, not completely out of the rifle, but it would drop enough to keep from feeding the next round. Magazine was secure before shooting. It would do it at least every other shot. No problems with 10rd magazine. Rifle is a Tikka T3 in a manners T4 with...

Saw a CZ Ultra Lux in the gunshop and had to try it. Thought it would be a fun to shoot with the graduated open sights. The problem I have is the indexing on the sights does not come close when using standard high velocity 22LR ammo. The 25 yd shoots high at 50 Are these sights set up for...

Brother in law gave me a nice looking 742 in 30-06 to see if I could get it to eject. Not an autoloader guy so tell me what are the problem areas on this rifle? Getting ready to tear it down and give the action a thorough scrubbing.

Bought an Annie to squirrel hunt with so I decided to get a dog to compliment the rifle. She's a 3yr old Original Mountain Cur. Got to hunt her on Memorial weekend when season opened, she treed 6 times, the little buggers are wild right now jumping timber and hitting the ground, we did...

Looking to buy a new 22LR to hunt with. I have been cruising the Savages and CZs but have now started looking at the Annies. Big problem is there are none around here to look at. It would have to be special ordered. The rifle would be packed around the woods mostly for squirrels. I have a...

After waiting for 4 months, my Manners T4 arrived. It was built for a Tikka T3. When I put the action in the stock, I can't get the bolt all the way back. The comb interferes with the cocking indicator. I have seen pics of other T4s that have a relief groove in the comb for this problem. Is...

I'm down to 2 weeks wait on my Manners T4 stock for my Tikka T3 Scout and while pondering all the wonderful shooting I'll do with it I thought about the way recoil notch interfaces with the stock. Does the manners stock come with a piece of steel in it or will I need to make my own to replace...

Found a good load for my Savage model 12FCV. Now I just need some help on my velocity calcs. Load is a 40gr Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint Boat Tail over 37.8gr of RL15 and a Winchester LR primer OAL 2.35". 45 degrees, 500ft elevation, 3 o'clock wind 5-8mph When doing my workup 37.5 grains...

Kid came in the local BS spot wanting to sell a pre-accutriger Savage in 7mm mag. I was the winner with my bid of $200. I got a 3-9 Bushnell Banner in the mix too Now WTF am I gonna do with this thing? Is it possible to use this action and build it into a non mag rifle. I'm thinking 260 or...

I am looking at 3 different compact 1911s and have to choose one. I would love to buy all 3 but that isn't gonna happen. Colt New Agent 9mm Colt New Agent 45ACP Springfield EMP 40SW All 3 guns are used but not carried. Anybody with 1st hand experience with these pistols? I'm not a caliber...

Posted this on Savage Shooters as well but thought you guys might have some insight. Got my 1st Savage centerfire, a Model 12FCV in 22-250Rem. Knew I wouldn't have any time to go to the range through the week so I went ahead and took care of that shiny barrel with some Duracoat and did a...

I'm looking for a new coyote/undesirable critter rifle. It doesn't need to be a heavy barreled beast, no P dogs to shoot around here. I've been looking for a used Winchester 70 Featherweight, but for the same money I think I can get into a new Savage with the Accutrigger. Reading the Savage...

The FFL I always deal with came back from the gun show with this. He said "I knew you would want it" Browning T Bolt with a Shepherd 3-10x40 P22LR scope. My main complaint is that it feels like you need 2 men and a boy to pull the trigger. I'm gonna have to work on that Here are some...

After good success with my 25WSSM I bought a 223WSSM. I am unable to get close to published velocities within the max that Hodgdon gives on their site. Browning A-Bolt Medallion with BOSS the barrel is 22" with the boss on the end. Pushing a 40gr Nosler BT Varmit COL 2.220" WLR primer with 44.5...

Picked up a Savage Mark II TR added an EGW 20 MOA rail and Nikon 4-16x40 in a set of millet rings. Here ya go Shooting Lapua Master L and Wolf Match (I shot some Remmy Target but it was worse than shooting Super-X or CCI mini mag), not for any reason but that is what was available...
