Sorry, but I've actually found a manufacturer that recommends a breakin procedure on their rifles, Howa. Here is the link for anyone interested. I personally have never done this. I only clean the barrel good before shooting the first time. Others in here have routines they follow. And I'm...

I just put the new lighter spring in my Ruger 77 MkII and it is much better. My question is.... when I went to "knock" out the pin holding the trigger on it was loose and slid right out. Put it back together and it seems to stay without moving but am I supposed to take a sharp punch and...

Accuracy Improvement Module Anyone ever heard of this? http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/aim-accuracy-improvement-module.aspx?a=506864 http://www.gandermountain.com/assets/pdf/Price%20Guide.pdf (schroll down to page 23)

Here it is. These pics make it look brown due to the flash. It's not. It's pepper (gray, black and white) laminate and the laser checkered areas don't look brown either. Now I can go to work!! Will post pics of finished rifle but it might be awhile. I'm not botching this up! (Click again...

I've sold the skeleton stock for this rifle and the Boyd's stock isn't here yet. I'm sitting looking at the barreled action and the trigger which is about 5 lbs. pull. It's one of those lawyer jobs where there are no (apparent) adjustments. Big question. Can these be adjusted either by...

Since we don't have pheasants to speak of in Wisconsin anymore my BIL and I went on a pheasant hunt where the guide had the dog and they put out the birds. It was okay but just not real pheasant hunting. Now this place also had elk and deer hunting. And I mean they grew the deer in pens and...

I wonder what the Savage military sniper rifle number is... :D:D:D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M24_Sniper_Weapon_System And here is the new Remington sniper rifle... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM2010_Enhanced_Sniper_Rifle

For me to buy a Savage? Here is what it would take... :D

For me to buy a Savage? Here is what it would take. :D Oops, moved to the "art of the rifle" forum. Sorry.

I've stuck up for Remingtons against some pretty ugly reports from Remington customers in here. Okay. But when it comes to a low priced "entry level" rifle like many in here are looking for I'm now a big fan of the Savage after reading this article in Chuck Hawk's site. Oops. Now it's...

This is what I'm getting to replace the skeleton stock on my Ruger 77 Mk II all-weather .300 Win Mag. I'm getting the Classic #1 laser checkering on it. http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/BOYDS-CLASSIC-RUGER-77-MKII-p/400-058.htm...

This is just another repeat question but there might be a new product I'm missing. I've been using M-Pro 7 and then following it with Eezox and wow do those two products work. I know it says you don't need to lube after Eezox but I still do. What's your routine and favorite products? (For...

I've heard the statement of how quality has gone downhill for all these major rifle manufacturer's blah blah so often I have to open my big mouth. I've been in the manufacturing industry for almost 50 years, from machinist to quality department to engineering to metallurgy and I have some...

I'm going to get rid of the "skeleton" stock on my Ruger 77 Mk II all-weather stainless .300 Win Mag and replace it with a "drop in" Boyd's laminated stock. http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/BOYDS-CLASSIC-RUGER-77-MKII-p/400-058.htm It says some "fitting" might be necessary and that little...

But worse!!! Well, found out one reason we didn't see as many deer on the land this year (or wolves and coyotes). One of the guys said there was a big cougar on our land during the whole week of gun season. We walk in at dark and the guy with the longest walk heard some super scary growling...

I was in Gander in Kenosha today and saw a really nice condition used, pre-64 Model 70 for around $800!! I was tempted but then picked it up and the original, beautiful stock had been sawed off to REALLY shorten it (for a youngster?) and then had a badly done "lengthening" job done to it for an...

I've quit fighting with the Leupold standard bases and rings where you have to turn the front ring to get it square and get the rear ring centered with the screws from both sides and then check it with the pointed centering gauges etc etc. Any ring/base setup with screws on both sides is a pain...

These things sound illegal. As if you could use them hunting and not just for finding wounded game. I can't find anything in Wisconsin rules against them but everyone says they are illegal. Sounds unethical to me. http://www.game-finder.com/Hunting.htm

I hate that term. I never use it. It would make me feel like I'm kissing some tree hugger's a**. No more X-mas in stores. Now it's the "holidays". This politically correct crap stuff is starting to get so rediculous. "We're going to harvest a deer!" Wheeeee. Sorry. Rant over. :D

Would you prefer a simple ranging recticle that you just move to a different dot along the crosshair? OR Would you prefer a "ballistic turret" like on a Swarovski where you dial it to the yardage? OR Sight in for 250 yards so you can hold dead on out to 300 yards? I've been using the last...
