    125gr LRN in 357 mag

    Shortages and other factors have got me locked into a combination. 125gr LRN in 357m using Power Pistol and SPM primer. Starting mag load for 125jhp is 9g in Lyman book. I would like to be closer to 38+P levels. But, I am concerned about dropping to 6.4g with this combination. As an alternative...

    Hungarian Tokarev/Tokagypt

    Been trying to find a Tokagypt or other FEG variant of the Tokarev. See them at auction on occasion. Im time limited due to the way permits work in NJ. Anyone know of an online source that may have them in stock? Best I could find is parts at Apex.

    Weatherby/Howa magazine options

    I picked up a Vanguard 6.5creed last year. Love the rifle, but I would like to have a detachable box magazine. The Legacy/Weatherby system looks cheap and plastic. The Pacific tool version is aluminum and much nicer, but the mag hangs way down and the mag release is huge and easy to hit by...

    Steel 22lr SA Revolvers

    Who makes quality 22lr/22mag revolvers? I have no chance at finding one on the shelf at LGS. So, I have to order. I dont want to get a light die cast gun. I am told the Ruger Single Six #0622 is a quality steel gun. What else is out there?

    Want a SA, need advice

    I have DA revolvers and more pistols than I can count. I have very limited experience with SA revolvers and really want to get one. At some point I may try my hand at CAS so I dont want anything that will disqualify my from that. Also possible I may use to hunt at some point. So, I dont want...

    Factory 6.5cm for a Vanguard

    What kind of groups have you been able to get out of factory 6.5cm with your Vanguard? I have only tried Federal Non-typical 140gr sp. Best group out of a new rifle has been around 1.5". Plenty good for a kill. But, I would like to be under an inch at 100yds. What do you recommend?

    Magazine options for a Vanguard sa?

    I have a Weatherby Vanguard short action 6.5cm. I want to change out the drop plate for a magazine. Found the Legacy sports option. But, to my knowledge its plastic and doesnt compliment the rifle very well. What other options are out there for a more robust drop box mag?

    Point of impact versus POA- hunting.

    I sight all my hunting rifles at 100yds. The hunting I do ranges from 20yds to 150yds+-. Several deer I have taken at close range I have noticed the POI being below the POA. I am shooting from an elevated stand. Is the issue caused by the elevation or by parallax? What is the proper way to...

    I pulled the trigger 6.5 creed

    I have been going back and forth with buying a new bolt action for hunting. Originally wanted a classic walnut and blued. After thinking about what that walnut looks like after years in the woods I went 180. Ordered a Weatherby Vanguard Wilderness in 6.5 creed. Topping it with the new entry...

    Scope for new 6.5 Creed

    Just ordered a Vanguard in 6.5 creed. Mainly a hunting rifle. I want a little more than a 3-9x40 glass. Think I want 30mm tube with 40-42mm objective. 50s seem like they wash out in the sun. I dont want to lose the wide field of view offered by a standard 3-9x40- 1". Budget sub $800. Considering...

    Choosing a 6.5 bullet for NA med-lg game

    I hunt mostly PA with rifle. Currently white tail and black bear overlap and I would like to make a solid choice for both. Chances at bear are unlikely, but, I dont want to let one walk because im under-gunned either. Shooting a 6.5 creed. Leaning toward Sierra GK 140gr. I have used their 165 GK...

    New short action bolt rifle for hunting. Suggestions?

    So here it is. I want to buy myself a new bolt action blued and walnut rifle with removable magazine. The classic hunting rifle if you will. Undecided between 6.5creed and .243win. Both will do the job just fine and this wont see enough rounds to be a cost issue. I want a nice rifle and keep the...

    45 Raptor in a Savage 110LA

    I had an extra 110 LA hanging around and decided to order a new 45 Raptor barrel from Satern to finish it out. Before I start trying to get this thing to feed I would love some input. This is a blind box feed 30-06 action. I am considering cutting the follower down and shaping a block with a...

    22/45 slide upgrade

    I made up a few of these if anyone has some interest. Silver or blue. The slide/bolt needs to be milled and drilled/tapped for proper install. Makes a huge difference for young,week, or damaged hands to be able to rack the 22/45. I didnt like the loops and other add-ons available. I think I am...

    Tokagypt

    I hate to ask a dumb question. But are these things really worth the price that people are asking $1200+ in some cases depending on condition. If I understand correctly they are the most rare of the Tok variants. Are examples accepted by Egypt more or less valuable then those sold other places...

    Looking for automated 1050 or other press

    I am looking for a motorized press. Where can I find used press equipment? I would also consider picking up a Dillon 1050 and upgrading on my own down the line.

    AR gas length

    I have a carbine length non-floating handguard/foregrip I want to use on my AR build (556). Trouble I am having is finding a barrel over 16" with a carbine length gas system. I can deal with a 16" but I would prefer to go 18" for appearance only. Is there such a barrel available? I dont want a...

    7.62 AR question

    I have a complete lower and a stripped upper. Price to build 556 or 762 is about the same. Brass ammo is about the same cost +-. I like steel cased 762 for my SKS, feels more authentic. How about running steel cased 762 in an AR? I have to think that its the same as running steel 556 in an AR...

    Medusa 47

    Philips and rogers made a few of the Medusa 47 multi-cal revolvers. Anyone have any experience with them? Anyone know where to find one for sale? I would like to know if the Medusa is a modified 686 or did they make their own revolver from the ground up. Cylinder conversion kits available...
