I have an old Savage 99 with a shot out barrel. I need a replacement barrel with square threads. Does anyone know where I can get one (30-30)?

I am thinking of buying a Norinco in 7.62X51, but I can find no load data, dies, or brass for it. I know it is almost identical to the 308, but is it close enough to use the above components to load for it accuratley and reliably? If not, can you please tell me where I can find what I am looking...

Thanks guys, it gives some more info to go on. When I say i am looking for about 1.5", that would be with a scope and my own custom load for her. SDC keep me informed about how it works for you, I am looking for one after I know whether I owe the government or the gorvernment owes me. You can...

I am looking on the Marstar webpage in Ontario and they have the Norinco M-305 (M-14 clone) for $400 CDN. Are these rifles a good purchase? I like tinkering with firearms, and will probably modify it as I go, but I want a good rifle to start with that will shoot well (~ 1.5" @ 100 yards) or will...

I just purchased a 25S (swivel) and it goes from 13" to 25". I was thinking of a Versa Pod, but I was not impressed in the least with the quality. The shop owner said to cover the attachment section with tpae or the Versa Pod would scratch the stock. The Harris is a little heavy, but it folds up...

I shoot the 6.5 X 55 Swedish Mauser out of an M38 Swedish Mauser. For hunting deer size game, I use a 120 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip loaded on top of Norma brass. This rifle has brought done several moose with the 139 grain factory ammo from Norma. I find increased accuracy with the Norma brass...

Thanks HKSW, this gives me some more info to think about. I am looking at the 13-23" model for my Ruger #1 in 22-250 while field shooting, and for my T/C Omega. I am still debating between the Harris and the Versa-pod. The quality seems much better on the Harris, but the ability to pan left and...

I am planning on buying a bipod for shooting while sitting and I am looking for your opinions on the Versa-pod.

I have a #1V in 22-250 that shoots .42 inch three shot groups at 100 yards (55 grain C/T Ballistic Silvertip on top of IMR 4064). I bought it used without a mark on it and I do not think I would ever sell it, it shoots too well. I am actually putting better glass on it now. I would but...

I am looking for a scope to throw on my Ruger #1 Varmint. She shoots so well that I want to put half decent glass on it. I have been looking at the Bushnell Elite 4200 in 6-24X40, or the Weaver Classic V 6-24X42. These scopes are around $350 American, and that is about hte extent of what I can...

I use 777 in my T\C rifle, but the webpage warns that it will not ignite if you do not have 209 ignition. It has no sulfur in it, from what I have read, and I guess the sulfur increases ingition ease. It may work fine with a #10 cap, but the info does not look good.

Thank you for the advise Old Snow. I tried out the Sabots, and cleaned the barrel with alcohol between each shot, and got the groups down to 1 1/2" at 50 yards. That is not spectacular, but I am happy to know that if I work at the loads I can probably get a good group.

Smoke, I thought of that, but someone told me that I would have to modify the magazine, the extractor, and the bolt face also to get it to feed the 300 Savage. The 30-30 is almost identical to the 303 savage, so the action work would not be neccessary, just a new barrel

I take a lever with me every time I go to the range and will burn up 40-50 rounds just playing around. It is not in that great a shape and the rifling looks to be fairly rough, so it has no real collectors value, but I like the feel of the Savage better than my Winchester 94. I would rather dump...

I have an old Savage 99 that my uncle gave me, but it is in 303 Savage. I was looking around for reloading supplies and found I might be better off going with a new, or newer, barrel. I am trying to find a barrel for it in 30-30, this should reduce the amount of work needed to make it feed...
