I've always wanted to build a copy/ close replica of Carlos Hathcock's Model 70 and about a month ago this rifle sort of fell into my lap! As it stands right now it's definitely not a replica by any means but I couldn't pass it up and I figured it would be a great way to kick my but into gear...

When I was younger, my friend had a little 22LR rifle that was single shot, octagonal barrel and was really cool. You had to insert the cartridge right into the chamber, then push a little thing forward and the hammer was behind the "thing." When you fired it, you had to cock the hammer, pull...

Just picked up a couple boxes of this stuff. Anyone had any experience with it? Couldn't find anything with the Google engine.

I'm pretty new here and this will be my first thread started. With that I need help/advice I picked up a Winchester Model 70 (Pre 64) according to the SN the action was made in 1954. Its chamber in .243 win and came with a bedded stock and bull barrel and a Leopold scope base (first thing I did...

Hey folks, First posting here. Thinking about building a rifle on a winchester model 70 pre 64. This would be a long action ( 30-06 length) Primary purpose would be positional shooting competition ( psr style) with hunting white tail being a secondary. Questions are a) will a 6.5 creedmoor...

I know a number of members here have interests outside of tactical shooting so I thought I might pose a question. Charlie Russell and Frank Linderman were good friends. Many people know of Russell and admire his western art. Linderman also achieved some noteriety publishing books and magazine...

I recently acquired a 1956 52C heavy barrel which, judging by the dusty crud in the bolt assembly, probably hasn't been used in decades. I want to get it going again and fit some aperture sights. Here's what I'm starting with: It has a marksman stock that appears aftermarket, because the...

I Guys Gals whatever, I hope this isn't a dumb question but I have a Winchester Model 70 XTR sporter magnum in 300 win mag. I like the gun but wondering if this is something that is worth putting time and money into like a nice stock, scope, trigger. etc. or should I sell and pick up something...

I just got a 1955 M 63 from GunBroker. I'm very excited about it, the classic little rifle kinda "speaks to me" LOL Anway, are there some more mod 63 owners on here, any advice, tricks, tips, etc that I should keep in mind? I haven't owned or shot one before, I found one that was affordable...

I've been attempting to determine a value for this rifle for years. Something I've owned for around 18 years, and I've never seen another one anywhere. I've had a standing offer of over 2K, but it came so fast that I was afraid the value was "buyer" favored. Any Ideas ? thanks,

Found some Winchester 7.62 147gr for $10 per 20 and before I drop the coin, is the brass any good for reloading? I figure its thicker NATO brass and not a true 308? Looks like its annealed? I have 10 boxes on hold but I could get a lot more. Also found some Fiocci, poor spelling but its their...

Does anyone make bottom metal with removable mag for a Winchester Model 70 300 WSM?

I have been curious of the ballsitics of the new 220/300 WM load. I was going to build a 284 Winchester for 1000+ yds, then thought twice after seeing the new 300 WM load. However...after running numbers, the 284 Win will equal or better ( depending on load) velocity, drift and energy up to 1500...

I went all over town today looking for a reasonable alternative to the $15.99/100 CCI Green Tag that my Savage MkII likes. Walmart was totally out of any SV .22. They can never tell me when they will get more in. Gander Mtn. didn't have crap. My last stop was Dick's. They had bricks of...

Hello again all ... I'm just starting a Remington short action build in .223 and am pondering what I want to do for a mag system. What I don't want is the woeful Remington 700 alloy floor plate. There are a few DM systems availabe in .223 and one is being developed here in Australia, but I was...

Anybody running this? I'm looking for a good starting powder for a 243 Winchester and the 105 grain A-max out of a 28 x 1/8" Walther. I'd like to stick with Hodgdon Extreme powders (temp insensitivity) unless someone has a compelling reason not to. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Guys, Correct me if I am wrong but as I understand it, there are very slight differences between the .308 Winchester and 7.62 mm NATO rounds. I believe the headspace is slightly different, and 7.62 NATO will give you chamber pressure of about 50,000 psi whereas .308 will give you either 62,000...

How good is this stuff? Where can I get load data for it? I was thinking of getting some for 7mmRM and 300WM

Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308 I have been loading with Winchester primers but I am at a point where I have made some changes to the rifle and I'm going to work up another load from scratch using Winchester brass and 175gr SMK's. I have about 600 Winchester primers left and 1000 CCI's so if...

I have recently extracted a heavy-barreled 300 Win. Mag from the back of my gun safe that was barreled in 1996. I shot it about 50 times and it lost favor to the other toys. At the time I semi-retired it, I had settled on a load of 69.0 grains of IMR 4350 behind a 180 grain Sierra SBT...
