I am confused and have done search not seeing any direct comparo's. I got a chance on a Savage 11. I can't tell the difference between all the models xp, trophy 10/110 and 11/111. The one I am looking at is an "11" has the accu-trigger, bottom bolt release and a magazine similar to an Axis and a...

I think the 22-250 is based off the old 250 Savage. Will the bolt head match up with a 308/06 size diameter case/rim? I don't have the rifle in front of me and a buddy wants to do a rebarrel to a better - heavier bullet hunting round. All I know is it is a Rem 700 in the above mentioned caliber...

Maybe this isn't the right spot but here goes. I have a standard 1911 milspec slide, I think I would like to have it cut for insets for both front and rear. Is there anyone I can send it to at a reasonable rate? Maybe a ceracote in coyote after the cuts are done? Thinking Novaks or something for...

I have a question about bullet lube and the other thread about cleaning touched on it, rather than hi-jack that thread......I have read in some competitions any type of lubrication of .22 rimfire is illegal and considered cheating. On the other hand, after a long search and what was available...

There I am, laying there in the dirt and since I forgot my mat, I had a new burlap sack for coyote season that I hadn't used yet, so the sack was my make shift mat. I am laying on the desert floor, it has to be approaching 100 degrees f (for our European bros - thats farenheit!) and I remember...

I have a 23 inch stock barrel R 700 in .223. Anyways I have a variety of rounds I could use, Bergers, V Maxs, Sierra Match in several weights. I was out and had mounted a new scope on this Remy, this is my yote gun, originally Walmart special no bottom metal - budget slow build. I got a take off...

I was gifted a brick of Federal Lightning. Never shot them, can't find much about them. High vel I think. Like anyone would turn down a brick of .22 nowadays anyway. They have been in a closet for probably 10 years or more. Clean, dry and look brand new, no worries on my part. Anybody have any...

Not quite a scope question, but I don't know where else to try and put this. Over twenty years ago, I was gifted a set of Redfield Olympic front sight including the front barrel mount and a used but servicable rear sight, courtesy of the USMC. Kind of a consolation prize for me, I chose to go...

Do you ever wonder why it is so hard to get an item? I lived in California and through the AWB in the 90's, more than one of us thought how nice it would be to have a bolt action which fed off an AR magazine - so this was almost 20 years ago. If my dumb ass could think of it then and there were...

As we all know powder is hard to get. I am using 130's and 140 grain rounds by both Sierra and Berger, have a few others like a 129 SSt's to play with when I got some cheap. I know the go to powder is H4350. I have a chance at N204 which on a burn chart is one step slower than the H4350. I have...

There are several really great scope manu's - I read about them here all the time, S & B, Nightforce, Steiner, etc. There are many scopes of what I will say are intermediate type glass with a mil dot type retical, Vortex & Bushnell come to mind. I do not currently own a mildot retical scope. I...

Doing a ADL to BDL conversion. I have a 700 ADl in .223. I got a stock (Remi take off) from here (on the Hide) and the bottom metal. It was a .308, I am building a .223. I have trimmed the internal mag about a 1/3 of an inch to mimick the .308, leaving the spacer from the adl intact. It still...

I have a Rem 700 ADL in .223, picked up a stock for a BDL .308 with bottom metal. So for the internal magazine metal portion to fit properly, what do I have to do? I know the adl metal is unscrewed from the action - did that. The BDL metal is for the .308 while the 223 has a spacer. Can I...

Breaking in a new Rem 700 in .223. Reloaded some rounds and the bolt does not want to close on my rounds. I am using a die I had for a while but got a case stuck a while back and replaced the guts. I set it up so the ram just kisses the die. Full length resize and decap. I don't/haven't had...

Flagstaff, Az Ft. Tuthill Gunshow Report. Well .22 LR is sitting between $75.00 - 100.00 a brick of 500. 45acp and 9mm have come down to $20-$25 a box for 50 hardball (this is down from $40.00!!!) Plenty of AR magazines of all types, but everything is up. Craziest thing - Powder BLC2 - 40.00 a...

Remember when Eagle Industries made stuff in the USA and was freakin awesome. I am down to my last cheek piece/shell holder. It made it pretty simple to do a cheek riser with foam and strap the whole thing down. The straps on the US made ones worked right the first time. Now, my last...

Remington 700's are hard to find in my area. Local gun shops seem to have loads of Savage Axis, Howas, some Tikkas, boatloads of the Ruger American and Remington 720's or some other Rem action. I bought a long action 700 with a scope for $417.00 at Wallyworld. The bolt cosmetics are poor, finish...

I got a ping from SWFA they have a limited edition commemorative Redfield 3 x 9 repop of the USMC scope. It looks beautiful. It sucks to be doing a new roof! Rats!

I know recoil is a perception. I can say I understand the difference between a .308 and an 30-06. I can easily deal with .308 recoil using 150's and after a while the 180's in an 30-06 start causing some flinching. So, if I were to go to a 6.5 x 06 and make the barrel a med palma contour at...

I am about 2 days away from delivering my long action 700 to be rechambered in 6.5 x 06. (why the 06 is a good question, I have thought about maybe a .260, but in part the rifle will be for hunting first, targets and comp second - elk is a significant part of what I want to hunt. My question is...
