    Will lever action rifles become the new AR's?

    In my opinion we are staring down the barrel of pistol caliber carbines being the next big gun fad of the decade. Lever guns will be part of this but the fad this time will be a little broader based not just being about ONE platform like the AR and 1911 gun fad before it.

    Savage 340

    I've had a few of these over the years and still have one I'll never be parted from. They shoot great if treated like a 30-30. If you are expecting to make a super 30-30 this isn't the rifle. All but the stubbiest spitzer bullets will be too long for the magazine anyway As mentioned the...

    S&W FPC and new folding 9mm PCC?

    What is the deal with folding and or takedown PCCs ? Not once have I been like. This rifle would be better if it stored twice as thick in an awkward case size with the potential to lose half of it. Loosely attaching the barrel to the sighting device is for me too.

    Is it likely (microgroove rifles)

    They get a bad rap at least in part because they tend to have been grossly oversized for many years and many calibers. Microgroove rifling just catches the bad perception for borderline manufacturing defects that aren't really a fault of the rifling design Throw in some dumb twist rate...

    Salad days are back!

    Can you please quote the text where I said that? Because I'm pretty darn sure I didn't say anything of the sort. No matter how you cut it the raw material nor the machining nor the US employed labor on this theoretical Aero cost 10x as much. So this only leaves the profit margin Aero is trying...

    Salad days are back!

    You say cost savings. I say likely slightly more realistically priced The days of the cool tax on the AR platform are long long gone

    Fantasy rifles

    Honestly I’d just settle for a bolt action 9mm that’s built on a modern entry level hunting rifle frame as a optics friendly companion to my Rhineland smle 45acp conversion

    16.5” or 20” Barrel which would you pick for .327 Federal Magnum?

    This is 2023. While we like to think we still have the option to carefully select a platform and or sub model exactly to our tastes after much careful deliberation in reality you are probably going to be limited to whichever 327 Henry you can find first with neither option being a realistic...

    Best bolt action military rifle...ever.

    In any question that's "the best" and you are comparing tangent vs aperture sights rifles with tangent sights need not apply. Other features are irrelevant without that criteria met. As evidenced by rifle development in the second half of the 20th century up until the widespread adoption of...

    Best bolt action military rifle...ever.

    The mas36 hands down. It was realistically the last bolt action service rifle designed. It's unbelievably rugged, a concerted effort was made to get the parts count down, to a very low number, it has vastly superior aperture sights as opposed to tangent sights and it fires a cartridge closer to...

    Do aftermarket parts affect the value of older commercial guns like they do mil surps?

    To elaborate on my comment above I am a shooter. I don't buy firearms to not enjoy them on the range. So a few extra holes all else being equal is an opportunity for me to get into a gun I want at a price I'm willing to pay. See my recent thread about a badly abused Marlin

    Do aftermarket parts affect the value of older commercial guns like they do mil surps?

    Drilling and tapping generally hurt the values. One possible exception being period correct aftermarket sights

    Contemplating Rifle build, caliber?

    I don’t care seeing as we’re allowed to make personal attacks based on unbased assumptions in this particular thread for whatever reason.

    Contemplating Rifle build, caliber?

    Contemplating Rifle build, caliber?

    We all love to fantasize about being "that guy" in a match. But to be really real you aren't going to be "that guy" shooting a savage action you built ourself. "That guy" spends more money on projectiles a month than your vehicle payment. He has a scope that costs more than your entire gun...

    Contemplating Rifle build, caliber?

    Inside 300 No not in terms of accuracy. Or at least not to any measureable degree without being an extremely proficient shooter with the absolute best optics and benchrest loading techniques and components Instead focus on things like reloading costs, component availability or just cartridges...

    Contemplating Rifle build, caliber?

    I always liked to build these into weird calibers for a heavy bolt action. My first was a 7.62x39 using a shilen bbl that shot amazing with good bullets. Later I built a long barreled supersonic 300blk on a criterion tube that didn't do as good. So I reamed that to 30/30 but haven't shot it much...
