Gents, Can anyone tell me if they've had cold weather issues with this rangefinder? I have another brand that won't work below about 45°F and don't want to repeat the mistake. I'm willing to look at other rangefinders as well if I need to expand my horizons. Budget is $325 or under. I do not...

Gents, I need to gain about 1/2” on my A1 stock to get a solid and consistent cheek weld on my rifle, but due to the length of the charging handle, I’m not having any luck finding something that will work. I’m not necessarily wed to the A1 stock, but I want the 13.5” LOP it gives me and I...

I'm comparing loads from different sources for 130gr bullets in 260 Rem. and the Hornady data seems a bit odd. Sierra and Berger list 45.4 and 45.2gr, respectively, as max charges for their bullets. Hodgdon's data lists 46.6C as their max, and the Nosler manual lists 47.5 as max. Hornady, on...

Can anyone give me the load data for this cartridge and bullet from the Hornady manual? In particular, I need data for H4350 and H4831. I have the new Hornady manual on the way, but I hope to start loading before it arrives.

I'm wanting to build a 6.5/260 Cal. rifle for hunting and paper punching out to say, 800 yds. (paper only beyond 350 yds.) I'd like to keep the rifle around 9-10# unloaded. Hunting will be from stands. The rifle must be capable of sub MOA, preferably .75 or better. So far, I have: (on hand or...

I’m putting together an upper with a WOA 20” Predator bbl and trying to decide on what handguard to get. Several of the handguards I’m considering install with shims behind the barrel nut that are used to time the handguard. Will the use of shims between the barrel extension and the barrel nut...

Given that the barrel will be approximately .700" at the muzzle and is 308 cal. and chambered for 300 WM, what size threads should be used on the muzzle? My thought is that 5/8"-24 is appropriate. That leaves plenty of metal around the bore and a 0.037" shoulder to tighten the brake to. Sound...

I’m trying to decide what length to make the barrel on my 300 Win Mag and what brake to use. The rifle will likely be equal parts hunting and target shooting and I’m installing a Krieger #5 “Bull Sporter” profile. Barrel Length – The OEM barrel is approximately 25.75” from the breech face...

Who's heard of or had a rifle built by them and what can you tell me?

Here are a couple of photos of the muzzle of my rifle. Not looking for anything in particular, just your thoughts. Some details: Win. M70, 300 Win Mag, I'm at least the third owner of this rifle. Approximately 75 rounds fired since last full bore cleaning. Ammo was a mix of handloads with...

Ok guys, shooting 50+ rounds of 300 Win Mag out of a Win M70 with a lightweight sporter barrel and a 1/2" solid rubber recoil pad leaves something to be desired in recoil mitigation. What grind-to-fit recoil pad would you recommend?

Any idea what it would cost to inlet a stock with a blind mag well for PT&G's Oberndorf bottom metal? Who should I have do it and what's a normal turnaround time? Thanks

Before ordering OEM parts for your Winchester rifles, give Winchester a call. I was looking for a magazine box for my M70 push-feed and found one at Numrich by searching the marking on the magazine box. (BR in case you're wondering) Pricing on magazine boxes at Numrich appears to run between...

Guys, I'm hoping someone on here can help me out with this. I have a Winchester M70 that I believe is an early black shadow model (push feed)with a blind box mag that will not retain the first round into the magazine. I've tried a new follower and a new magazine spring with no improvement...

I'm interested in picking up an AR10 type platform for a hunting and LR rig and what I think I want is essentially a DPMS 260H setup. Should I simply buy the DPMS and go shooting or can I build something any "better" for the same money? My budget will be $1500 or less, optics excluded.

I have a push-feed m70 in 300 win mag with a blind magazine that I'm having intermittent problems with. Sometimes the rifle will hold the first round going into the mag, sometimes it spits it right back out. I don't have another M70 to compare it to so I'm having trouble diagnosing the problem...
