I bought a beat up Remington 7MM Mag 798. Cleaned the barrel good, took the creep out of the trigger, put a Burris 3X9 Fullfield II and went to shoot. The first 3 shot group was with 140 grain Remington Core Lokt factory loads. About 1 1/2 inches about an inch to the left. OK with me. So, I...

Has anybody had any luck with a good shooting light load for 140 grain bullets out of a 7 Rem Mag? I have tried it with other magnums with dismal results. But, what I was trying to do was use less of a slow burning powder. It might be better to use something like 4064 as far as accuracy goes. I...

I have a bunch of 44 Mag, 45LC, 300WBY, 300 WIN, 280, 30/06 , 22/250, etc, etc, etc. Most of it is reloads, some could be 25 years old. I don't remember what some of it is. I keep records in chronolgical order, but could have shot a few rounds out of some of it and then moved to something else...

Hope this post isn't against a forum rule. Well, I had the low bid on Remington 798 at $375 and about 5 minutes before the auction ended the item just disappeared. I guess he sold it in his shop on Sunday night at 8:30. Now, their rules say you can't retract a bid. Is this one way or what? I...

Here is a pretty good deer I killed a couple of hours ago. Saw three bucks this afternoon. I guess they are pretty much still in rut. I couldn't pass on this one. I shouldn't complain,but I wish he was about six inches wider.

Here is a little bull I killed this week with a 280 Ackley and a 160 grain Nosler partition. My hunting partner killed one about the same about 100 feet away with a 7 MM Ultra and 140 grain factory load. There was a good 6X6 behind that we didn't see until these were down. An elk is about more...

I did a search but didn't see anything recent. I pulled my 77/22 out of the safe not having shot it in years. Crows are pulling up my sweet corn. The trigger pull is so bad it is almost unusable. What is the latest greatest super magna hyper blitx fix for this? Thanks

Just a little state pride I suppose. He could have gone anywhere in the world, but ends up about 30 miles down the road. Imagine that.

Does anybody have any comment on the potential difference seating depth can make to accuracy in percentage of group size or actual measurement? I'm curious about the potential difference in accuracy between, for instance, being .06 or .006 off the lands. Is it potentially .1 MOA , 1 MOA or...

May not be the right place, but here is a question. If you post a photo in a thread and sometime later it is useful in another thread you cannot repost it. Comes up as an error and says you have already posted this in another thread. What am I doing wrong?

I just bought this little Ruger and need to get the bolt out. I would assume the bolt release just swings out, but it is frozen. Before I start prying on it, I thought I would make sure which way it moves. Does it swing out? Does it slide back? Does the screw have to be loosened?

If I sell a gun on Gunbroker and ship it to the FFL choice of the buyer, can he send it back to me during the inspection period without having to send it to an FFL transfer agent here?

Is there a sequence that you guys torque the screws on a bolt action rifle? Do you use a torque wrench or just tighten them as tight as you can without risking "buggering" the slot?

I'm sure this has been beat to death, but the search function doesn't seem to be working. Which of these would be the best AR-15 for a deputy sherriff to carry in his patrol car?

I took a pre -64 Model 70 Winchester out of the safe a few minutes ago that had not been messed with in a few years. I had stored it firing pin assembly in the fired position to keep tension off the spring. When I operated the bolt the firing pin assembly would not stay cocked until I had...

I have a Browning A5 16 GA. Serial number A15491.Can anybody tell me when it was made?Thanks

Do any of you wear hearing protection while shooting a 22 rifle with long rifle ammo?

I have a friend says he has a 9MM trapdoor shotgun.I haven't seen it.He said it was made in the 1850's.When I told him that it doesn't make sense he promptly said "you calling me a liar?"I didn't think they made shells until about 1870.Can't see how a trapdoor muzzle loader would work.He says...

I have a later model 70 and the trigger for lack of a better word is terrible.This is a hunting rifle and 4 or 5 pounds will be OK. But,I can't stand the creep.Can a good gunsmith get the travel out of this trigger,or should I buy a Timney.

I bought a box of the Remington managed recoil ammo in 300 Win mag.I will use them to get the scope set on a rifle I just put the mounts on tonight.If they shoot good I may deer hunt with it.Shaking the case it sounds only about half full.My experience with light loads in magnum cases is that...
