    Gunsmithing Need Help Gang

    Maybe try pulling the barreled action out of the stock and attempting to fire a primer in a sized case.

    Gunsmithing Need Help Gang

    Just a thought here. You said the 'smith got it to fire. Was he shooting it in your stock? I'm wondering about trigger clearance like it's bound up on the stock bedding. Possibly only dropping to half cocked?

    Winchester M70

    Absolutely love this thread. Hopefully I didn't find it too late to ask a few questions. When I started reading this last year, I started shopping at the same time. I'm hoping to put together a '66 sniper clone-ish. I have most of the parts in hand or on the way. My issue is my local...

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Thank you for the reply, but they're all small shank savage barrels. The solus barrel nut spins right on all my barrels. I've had the barrel of choice in the freezer. Hoping it will shrink a little. My only thoughts so far is whatever savage uses for thread locker/red. That may still be on...

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Evening gents. I'm wondering about using my regular BDL bottom metal/hinged floorplate with the Solus? Versus the aics type mags. Any thoughts?

    Bison Gun

    As ScarlettRed said. Bison are tough. I've put down 6 mature bulls for a local herd owner. So far. A 30-06 with 180 grain accubonds has been the ticket for me. All shot inside 60 yards. Bullet placement is critical. Huge looking heads, but not a very big target. A good friend that works...
