    Calling all Gunsmiths (and others in the know) consider this project

    OK, first let me say I like my guns original and untampered just like I like my cars in restored, original condition. Now with that said, I am looking to start a dialogue with the intelligensia of TFL. I have a "close to new" (say less than 20 rounds down the tube) 7mm RUM, Remington M700 CDL...

    Calling BigJim.....again

    Hey, Jim: Are you at a point to get a Benelli SS 20 ga to go with your 12 ga? If so there is one for sale on the other website, for a price where I think you could get it for reasonable $$$.

    30-06 twist rate ?

    Is a 1:10 twist enough to stabilize a 180 gr. pill out of a 30-06? Is there a source or computer "guestimate" program that helps figure this out? Thanks, ahead of time.

    T/C Icon?

    What happened to the T/C Icon? You hear very little about this gun after the initial buzz of its release. I know there was a bolt issue. But, I think that was resolved. I haven't seen an Icon in a store for over a year. Discuss.

    Let's build a custom sheep/goat mountain rifle

    OK, I have decided to have a sheep/goat ridge-top to ridge-top mountain rifle built. I am not decided on anything: not caliber, not material(s), nothing. For "talking" purposes, lets try to keep the package in the $4500 range. This will allow for some great ideas, that I will glean the actual...

    .375 Ruger

    I have been reading about the .375 Ruger. Of course it is in direct competition with the .375 H&H. IIRC the recoil is in the range of 48 foot-lbs. That will get your attention. Is this cartridge going to make it? Is there really enough market for dangerous game guns that this will make...

    .338 Federal

    This thread is a "play" off the 338-06 thread, recently started. Is anyone using the .338 Federal? Reports? Who is making off-the-shelf guns in this caliber other than: Sako (and Tikka), and Kimber?

    Anyone familiar with Winslow Arms?

    I was offered a Winslow Arms 22-250 by an aquaintance. It kind of looks like a Weatherby Mark V on steroids. Its stock is a little over the top for me so I am going to pass. However, I had not heard of this gunmaker before. About all I can figure out is that Winslow Arms is (was?) in South...

    Did I lose my "Quote" button!

    How do you quote another person's reply within your reply. IIRC, there was a button you hit to create a quote. Where did it go? Or, (and it is very possible) is it user error and I lost my quote button. Thanks.
