    Mosin Nagant Sporterizing

    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...

    Rifle Scopes New scope for PRS

    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...

    Sporterizing a 1903A3

    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.

    Sporterizing a 1903A3

    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.

    Sporterizing a 1903A3

    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.

    Sporterizing a 1903A3

    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.

    Sporterizing a 1903A3

    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...

    Sporterizing a 1903A3

    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.

    Sporterizing a 1903A3

    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.

    Sporterizing a 1903A3

    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...
