    barrel bedding a 6.5x55

    I have a 1913 6.5x55 Swedish mauser that I recently did an action bedding job on. It shoots much better than prior to the bedding job. After shooting a 1 and a 1/2" five shot group at 100 yrds, I loosened the front screw and put two business cards between the barrel and the very end of the...

    So, should I re-barrel?

    This rifle is a "secondary" gun or a loaner to any friend wanting to hunt with me. I have a Marlin X7C in .308 I bought last year. The Marlin has maybe a box of ammo through it and is a sweet shooter.

    So, should I re-barrel?

    Ok.....a serious cleaning is in order. I have some Hoppes #9 but I doubt its enough to fill the barrel. I'll give it real good scrub with what I have. The rings,..theres nothing I can do about them unless I go to an offset mount. The stock 6.5 bolt handle comes straight out and when opening...

    So, should I re-barrel?

    I have a 1913 Swedish 6.5x55 that has a cut down barrel to about 19 inches. The bore is dark and somewhat pitted. The barrel and the receiver/bolt/everything but the stock is matching numbers. I would like to get it shooting well enough to use as a deer gun. As it it sits now, its in a...

    .204 bullet weight

    I'm looking for input into bullet weights for my 1 in 12 26" barrel .204 Since new this rifle has fired nothing but 32gr Vmax's at gophers (quite spectacularly I might add). I want to give coyoting a try. Is a 32gr bullet gonna hit hard enough to drop a 'yote humanely? I reload and have...

    For those of you with a 204......

    I got my Ruger 3? years ago. It relaced nothing and is an AWESOME gopher killer. You get to see the pink nuclear cloud through the scope due to an almost negligable recoil. 4,250 fps from factory 32gr Vmax bullets really ruins a gopher's day. Mine is zeroed for 200 yrds and with my crappy eyes...

    reviewing an OLD post

    Yep, sold off all my center fire miltary style firearms...just have my .22 semis and my bolt guns. I doubt I'll ever bother with a semi center fire again. If you're good enough, you only need one shell.

    SKS-Which scout scope mount/scope?

    do not use a reciever cover mount...i did that thinking that the cover was tight. it still moved enough to give me a 3" group at 50 meters. "thats terrible" somehow i cant post a pic of the gun here, but you can see it pictured if you search for the thread *sniper sks (pics)* i am using a...
