I primarily hunt with a rifle although once every several years I will deer hunt in an area that requires a shotgun and slugs. Because of this it doesn't make sense to me to have a dedicated scope for my shotgun. All of my rifles have a picitinney style mount so I'm thinking that it would make...

Once a year, I clean and lube the firing pin assembly on my bolt guns. Normally on my Kimber Montana, but bolt easily unscrews for easy removal. When I tried to remove it today, I encountered a lot of resistance and was only to turn it 1/4 turn or so that then I couldn't get any more rotation...

I'm looking at getting a browning buckmark. The gun would be primairily be used as a range gun, but it would also get used for small game hunting while camping. I get up to AK caribou hunting every year and a .22 pistol would be a great way to get some fresh meat to suppliment the freeze dried...

I'm looking at picking up a Browning Buckmark. I really like the look and feel of the UDX plus. I'm hopeing to put a red dot sight on it, but noticed it doesn't have a rail. How much would it cost to add a rail for a buckmark that doesn't come with one from the factory? I was looking at the...

As I posted in another thread, I'm currently trying to get a smaller extreme spread with varget in my .308. So far, with a 168 grain sierra match king, i've tried anywhere from 43.5 to 45.5 grains of varget and the best I could get is an ES of 40-50 fps. The load groups extremely well, but...

I recently started using Varget in my .308 with 168 grain sierra match kings. According to the Sierra manual, the max load for varget is 43.5 grains with a 168 grain SMK. I noticed that 43.5 grains is very conservitive compared to some of the other 168 grainers I’ve loaded. According to the...

So I picked up a 30-06 die the other day. For some reason, when I started seating bullets, the second or third one got stuck in the seater die. I had to remove the seater plug. The bullet was stuck so badly in the plug, that I couldn’t get it out even with two sets of pliers. I ended up...

Never shot one of the WSM's but I've always heard they had feeding issues. I've talked to a few people who own them and none of them have had any issues. For those who own rifles in a WSM caliber, how does it feed in comparison to a standard cartrage. What rifle and caliber do you have...

What kind of deal do you think i could find on a used mini 30? Doesn't have to be in great shape.

I've recently started loading for my S&W 629 in .44 (5 inch barrel) and I haven't been getting the kind of groups I'd like. I've been using 7.5 grains of trailboss behind a 200 grain lead bullet. I've also been using a roll crimp. It seems like the gun will shoot about a 5-6 inch group at 25...

For those of you who have backordered and received primers and powder from cabelas recently, how long did you have to wait. I ordered some Varget, 1000 cci primers in each size and some 55 grain .223 bullets. I've been waiting about 3 months which I was fully expecting. For those of you...

Approx how many rounds do you think someone could shoot through a .300 win before the goups open up to greater than 1 inch at 100 yards assuming that you don't let the barrel get any hotter than you can stand to touch? I have a .300 with about 700 shots fired in the 1 1/2 years that I have...

Who here has put open sights on a Kimber rifle? I was thinking of putting a set on a .300 win Monatana for backup purposes. I'd imagine a band would be the best way to go with a thin barrel. Post pictures if you have them. Were there any changes in zero or accuricy after installing the...

Out of curiosity will the ruger rings return to zero if you remove them from say a M77?

I've been thinkin of picking up Win M70 for a custom project, but have yet to find one in stock in a short action. I've been wanting to build off a .308, but have only found long actions. I read a while ago that although there are short actions on Winchester's site, they have not yet built...

So in the offseason, I practice with my one hunting rifle (.300 win mag) using a reduced load of SR4759 which shoots a 147 grain FMJ at roughly 1800fps vs my normal hunting load of 180 grains at 3000. Part of my thinking is that this would prolong barrel life as I try to practice once or...

So I've been looking to get my first rangefinder for hunting and have pretty much settled on a Nikon. I've been looking at either the 800 (good to 800 yards) or the rifleman (good to 550 yards and capable of compensating for slope). I do hunt some mountainous areas. I would be using the...

So I was thinking of having my Kimber Montana Cerakoted to make it a bit more weather resistant and was wondering what color to go with. I have a Leupold scope in gunmetal gray. http://www.opticstalk.com/uploads/Brady/2006-06-06_134732_L1080795.JPG What do you recomend? I'm thinking the...

I'm wanting to work up a load for the 150 gr ttsx in a .300 win mag, but I noticed that the barnes website only lists data for H4350 and not IMR 4350. I only have IMR 4350. I noticed that every load I have ever seen shows the max and starting loads are between 1.5 and 0 grains different for...
