oh right, sorry... .308 with 16,125" Barrel

Hi guys, can anyone tell me how long the barrel protrudes from the handguard? In other words how long can my over barrel suppressor go behind the muzzle, before it hits the hand guard. I'm interested in getting the rifle but I can't find that information anywhere. Thanks, that would really...

back from the gunsmith. The barrel is ruined :-( There is a serious "bulge" in the barrel. Sorry, I don't know the English word for this. Basically a bulge from overpressure that you can't see from the outside. I have no way to determine when this happened. At the gun smith, at the...

Thanks everybody for the input. The rifle shot fine before the conversion. With every .30-30 factory load I tested, including the Federal Fusion I shot now. Yes, I am getting keyholes with every shot. I inspected the crown and can't find any visible damage. It's a bit worn from age (1970s)...

Hi everyone, I recently had a Marlin 336 converted to .30-30 Ackley Improved by a gunsmith. I wanted to zero it in with some Federal Fusion 150grs regular .30-30 Ammo in order to use up what I had left around and fire form cases for hand loading AI cartridges. However the bullet seems to be...

Hey guys, I have said rifle and I want to make the LOP a little longer using a spacer. For that I will of course need longer screws. Can anyone tell me the diameter and thread size? I think it's safe to assume they are not metric. Therefore unfortunately I can't just go into a hardware store...

As a former Helix user let me tell you this: Just stay away from it. This thing looks perfect in theory but is the most half-baked piece of over engineered crap that has ever originated from Germany. It has a lot of great features on paper like easy take down, barrel swapping, different...

While that sentence is true it is absolutely misleading. Because that sentence is also true for all other major participants. All powers were looking to expand and had therefore been itching for a war for years. The reason why history makes Wilhelm responsible (or rather gives him 100%...

unfortunately I can't do that. There are used ones available over here but not that many. So I really can only buy one on something like armslist and hope for the best... I have only found one Remlin 336W in my reach, a 2013 model. It was pretty much a lever action version of my former wobbly...

Hi Guys, I am thinking about getting a 336. I want to put a long Picatinny rail on it so I can mount a normal scope and a scout scope (like one from XS sights). I want to use it basically as an all purpose rifle, not as a collectors item. My concern is the quality of the newer Marlin...

rcmodel is right there is no standard for anything. They were hand made and therefore they so obscenely expensive. If they are done by a really skilled gunsmith they hold zero. If not they don't and if not you have created a real diva. Very hard to tell in advance if the gunsmith is up to...

I once overheard a couple having sex in the woods. I was hunting for boar from a rather high tree blind one evening in late summer. As the sun was going down I started to hear a strange noise. Of course it turned out it was a woman in passion maybe a 100 or 150m away. I was totally...

.308 or 8x57IS would both be fine since I use my rifles primarily for deer and hog hunting imho best compromise between cost, recoil, availability and versatility.

Hi Guys, how high above the picatinny rail is the reticle going to be? I can't find that information anywhere. Can someone tell me how long the blue and green line would be? The green line of course just approximately when looking through with a line of sight parallel to the barrel. I...

Waidmannsheil @interlock. *sigh* 26 days still to go here for roe buck season

I think actually extinguishing them is pretty much impossible. If the habitat is good for them they will show up sooner or later and stay. Period. Whether matters are "helped" by people releasing them on purpose or not. They are too smart and tough to be wiped out by hunting alone. Here...

If possible I would use a suppressor. If you can't do that my recommendation are the electronic ones as well. When out hunting I want to have to concentrate on as few things as possible once the game is getting into view. A regular muff is just a half baked solution. If you have to be fast, if...

I've often wondered why Bullpup rifles aren't more common. For hunting purposes in my opinion they are (or rather they could be) a lot more practical than e.g. an AR. You could get a well balanced rifle with a 20"-25" Barrel with a very short overall length. If they were more common, if...

thanks for the input, guys. Seems like I have a wandering dominant eye which is probably why I couldn't figure it out before. That is probably why I really like shooting with red dot sights. I will practise some more rifle shooting with my left hand and eye though. That can always come in...

Hi Guys, this may sound a little weird but I honestly can't tell whether I'm left or right dominant. I do most things with my left hand but a lot of things (throwing, playing tennis) I can only do with my right hand. Shotguns I can only shoot right-handed, too. I'm not sure though whether that...
