    Sidearms & Scatterguns Scope recommendations for 35 Rem Contender

    That's actually a pretty standard load in the 7JDJ #2, I've had 140s up to 2430fps (15" Barrel) before seeing pressure signs and the gun was still easy to open. I typically follow Don Shearer's method for pressure limits in the original contender, looking for when the case web stops expanding...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Scope recommendations for 35 Rem Contender

    Just now seeing this, so you've probably already found something but, the Leupold and Burris pistol scopes are the best of what is available new. You can also find the Weaver and Swift new. The Bushnell Elite 3200 and Nikon Force were good but both are discontinued. I've got a mix on may...

    Best binos for $400 need help

    I've been extremely happy with my new Zeiss Terra 10x42. I compared them with most of what is out there at the $400 price point and they were certainly the best for me. They're not on the same level as the $1000+ Leica, Swarovski, or Zeiss but they are sharp, have good color, and seem fairly...

    Budget binoculars, Nikon Monarch 5. 8x42 vs Bushnell Ultra Legend HD 8x42, any experiences

    I am right there with Shootist. I went through this whole process back in October trying to decide between the Monarch 5, Zeiss Terra, Bushnell Legend HD, Cabela's Alaskan Guide and Vortex Diamondback. I spent several hours on multiple trips to Cabela's comparing all of them both indoors and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Instructor Belts for CC

    The Saddleback belts Redman mentioned are worth their weight in gold. Best belts I've ever seen, both the Tow Belts and Old bull belts work great as gun belts or just everyday wear.

    Hunting & Fishing Africa dangarous game caliber?

    The 375 H&H will do everything he wants with the right bullet choice, which he should discuss with his PH. If he really wants something bigger he needs to decide between a bolt and a double gun. In a bolt I would probably do a 416 Rigby or 458 Win Mag. In a double, either of the above...

    6mmAR Problem.

    Sorry, I was thinking of the Turbo. I would be tempted to do a chamber cast at this point, to get a better look at the dimensions you're dealing with.

    6mmAR Problem.

    Ok reading the above, I know on Whitley's 6mmAR you have to create a false shoulder on the initial fireforming loads because the chamber blows the shoulder a few thousandths forward. I believe the 6mm ARP chamber is similar. That would explain why the bolt can close without engaging the...

    At what age did you really get into precision shooting?

    I got interested around 18 after growing up around Bullseye Pistols with my Dad. Bought my first LR rifle at 20 and have been hooked ever since. Sadly I haven't be shooting much since I got married but my wife is somewhat interested in the idea and I'm starting to get back into the game now...

    6mmAR Problem.

    New or fired brass? This sounds more like a brass or sizing issue to me.

    Need a vault door for my new reloading room

    Chech with some of the commercial safe distributors in your area. You may be able to find a used bank vault door for an affordable price.

    Gunsmithing CZ 550 Magnum Action accuracy potential for long range 338 Norma Magnum

    The 550 actions see a ton of praise in the hunting world and particularly in the big magnums but they are somewhat of an anomaly in the Long Range game. Biggest questions would be if you needed it to work with a mag system and the lack of stock choices. GAP built some awesome 338 Lapuas on...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Talk me out of buying a S&W 500!

    I'm with the guys above. Can't talk you out of it cause the looks and comments from "friends" after you make them shoot it are priceless. I've not owned the 500 but I regularly shoot a hot loaded 45/70 Contender that has the same kind of effect on people. Typically something on the lines of...
