I am wanting to buy a factory or aftermarket Ruger American 300BLK barrel.

How do you like the Boyd’s stock?

I have a target scope on an old heavy barrel .243 Sako. everything seems to be working well, I would like to clean and lube the scope. Any suggestions on what to use for cleaning and lubrication? And can someone explain to me the purpose and operation of the recoil spring?

I was recently given a Remington Mosin hex action from my dad. I don't know where he got it from, but the barrel was chopped of an inch in front of the rear sight and the bolt was shortened and bent. I want to build a hunting rifle out of it as long as I can get the barrel off. I have a...

Thanks for all of the input. I won’t be buying until after the holidays. I think I am leaning towards a straight power SWFA. I would like the reliability of the SWFA over the features of the Athlon. I was a designated marksman in the Marines, so I’m used to no features and straight power. Are...

Hey everyone, I just bought a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 creed. I would like to get into PRS competitions. Unfortunately my budget is pretty tight for a scope. Here are my parameters: Use-PRS Budget- 400-500 Magnification- fixed or variable Adjustment- mils My main concern is getting a...

South Florida, but I can ship if need be.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I am looking for a good gunsmith to do some work on an old sako bolt action. I'm am wanting to have the wood stock piller and glass bedded and free float the barrel. I also would like to have the chamber inspected. The rifle is a sako short action in .243...

I would like to try the 30 Gibbs. Can the 30-06 chamber be reamed out to 30 Gibbs? I figure I am going to change the barrel anyway might as well see if I like the 30 Gibbs before I spend the money for a new barrel.

I was looking into a 25-06. I already have a .243 and .270 though and my dad has a 25-06. My idea for this rifle was to have an 06 style cartridge, but with more energy. I do handload all of my own ammo and don't mind fire forming.

Like I said the rifle will be used for 0-500 yards and mostly hogs and deer. Maybe in the near future it will be used on occasional bigger game within 0-500 yards. It's not a do all end all rifle.

There are two main reasons I don't want to go with the 25-06 AI. They are: 1. compared to the .280 AI and 30-06 AI there is not enough energy. 2. My dad has a heavy barreled ruger in 25-06. It is an old time great caliber though.

I understand all of this. The .308 bullet may have a lower B.C. then the .284 of the same wight, but when fired through a 30-06 AI (comparred to the 280 AI) the .308 bullet has less drop more energy and more velocity out to 500 yards. I was asking you to explain more about why the AI's are...

Can you explain this more?

I have the Springfield action already and I am wanting to make an A4 clone for hunting. If i do leave it a 30-06 (more like a 30-06 AI) I will most likely using a 180 or 185 grain hunting bullet.

I looked into the 280 AI, but the 30-06 AI has more velocity, more energy, and less drop at 500 yards. I was comparing the 175gr Berger Elite .284 to the 180gr Berger Elite .308.

Good morning Snipershide, Before everyone starts yelling at me for sporterizing an 03, the action has already been drilled and tapped by a previous owner. So I have a 1903A3 Remington built in 1943. The action was drilled and tapped for a scope, but the rear hole is stripped. It has a 2...

Re: Gunsmith in NC? I'm still looking for someone that can do a 308 Norma in a Mauser action.
