    Just bought a Weatherby Vanguard

    Found this at Bud's for $500.00. I decided on the 300 Winmag. 26" barrel. They have all the Weatherby calibers from .240 to .300. Including the new 6.5 -300. The .375 was a little more at around $600.00.

    6.5 Creedmore vs 6.5 Swede

    I don't that much about the Creedmore, but I've shot a Swede for the past 40 years. I know the Swede's potential is not realized due to the older mauser actions. Would a modern action with optimized reloads be comparable?

    Looking for the Best Scope for a High Wall Win. Your thoughts?.......

    My late great grandfather re-barreled what I believe is an old High Wall action, with a homemade bull barrel, chambered in .22 Hornet. (The barrel was a Ford axle in a previous life). He added a handmade copy of a 1 piece Redfield (I think) scope mount. Topped it with a Weaver J4 scope. The...

    Barrel Life Question

    I keep hearing about the advancement of long range accuracy with the .260, 6mm and 6.5 mm. When does muzzle velocity come into play. I've heard a .264 Win Mag is very hard on barrels. Not so much on Weatherby Mags, .300 Win Mags or 7mm Rem Mags. I realize quality of steel is a factor. What's the...

    Smith and Wesson 1911 PD Stiff Slide Problem

    I have a Smith and Wesson 1911 Commander. It has always been very a very tight pistol to cycle. My Gold Cup and Combat Elite are not nearly as difficult. After about 500 rounds I was hoping it would soften up somewhat. I'm thinking about a Wolf Spring modification. Your thoughts?

    Resizing Brass for a Different Caliber

    I have an old 6.5 x 58R Sauer single shot hunting rifle. Bertram brass is the only supplier I can find, other than custom made. I have heard that 9.3 x 72mm will work, once it is resized. I tried resizing a 9.3 with the 6.5 RCBS reloading dies. Due to the case size difference, it barely went in...

    How important is Concentricity?

    I'm always wanting to make my reloads more accurate. I see Hornaday has an alignment jig to correct bullet runout. It seems to me the bullet will straighten itself out as it goes down the barrel. Is this a legit concern or just a marketing ploy?

    Silver Maple Gunstocks

    I have 3 very large silver maples I'm going to have cut down. They are beautiful trees, but the roots are beginning to get into my house foundation. I thought about getting the tree cutters to cut the crotches out for gun stock blanks. Can a silver maple produce the figures needed for...

    I have this old Chilean Mauser........

    I paid $90.00 for this about 25 years ago. It was rebarrelled in 1962. It's "in the white" chambered for a .308. The Styer action is very smooth. I'm wanting to clean it up somewhat. Maybe just polishing it up. Any ideas?
