Was looking for advice on a recently purchased Spanish Mauser .my son bought the gun so I’m not up on all the details . I think it’s the 1916 short rifle . It was rechambered in the 50s to nato spec 7.62x 51 . He has ran a few rounds through it and it shoots pretty good .my question is wouldn’t...

I picked up my new tikka tx3 and am now ready to mount the scope. I’m having issues with 3 of the 4 scope base mounting screws . The one screws in nicely with my fingers but the other 3 are very difficult to start. I’ve read a bunch of stuff on this issue and it looks like the likely cause is...

I have a quick question . While doing some reloading last year I left some powder in my powder measure and now don’t remember what it is . I always make it a point to dump it back into its container when I’m done reloading ( but not this time ) I only have about 4 different powders on hand so I...

Any suggestions on a very light and accurate 243 rifle? I’ve been hunting with my Remington model 750 in 3006 for many years but as I’m getting older it’s getting heavier to carry . It weighs in w/ scope and sling a little over 8 pounds .I bought my son a cva scout in 243 when he was 15 and he...

I guess the days of recreational hand loading for me could be coming to an end . I started this hobby 20 plus years ago and have enjoyed it immensely . I had the best of both worlds ,a nice hobby for cold winter months and very economical to load . Even if I could get what I needed to load with...

My nephew just picked up an Italian carcaro( hope I’m spelling it right) and we don’t know much about it other than having a difficult time finding the ammo for it . Not sure how to decode the numbers on it to figure out how old it is. It’s also missing it’s magazine . I believe it shoots 6.5x52...

These tough times finding reloading stuff i have to laugh at some of the prices ! Even when you can find the stuff you cant afford it .take a pound of 4227 @ 37 dollars add 40 or so for shipping and hazmat and im paying over 80 dollars for it.Dont get me wrong this isn't the powder makers fault...

Well i finally took possession of my new sig p365xl after about 40 days of waiting period (thanks new york!)fired about 100 rounds through it so far.I dont shoot pistol as much as rifle but i do hunt with my 629 smith 44.The plan is to get good enough with it to pass the live fire potion of the...
