    Need suggestions!

    I have this HVA small ring 98 pictured above, and I don't know what to do with it. I have no real holes in my safe I need to fill, so I'm kind of at a loss for what I want to build. Here is my only criteria. 1. Must be based off of X57, .284, or 06 brass. 2. No 7mm or 8mm alibers. 3. No...

    Got a new rifle!

    Well new to me, I bet you can't guess what it is! I know that's not much of a hint but I'm pretty excited about the deal I got on the rifle. It came with the case, 148 rounds of ammunition, Nikon scope, CMMG SV muzzle brake and bi-pod. I'm not sure if I'm going to hang onto this one yet or...

    Sauer XT 100 Classic

    I was running around yesterday looking at rifles and I handled a Sauer XT 100 in .308 Win. I kind of liked it a lot, it felt great in my hands (6.75 lbs), shouldered well, pointed easily, trigger was very crisp, and the bolt felt like it's rails were greased. Price was pretty great as well...

    Anyone have a Hornady book that has data for the 125 GMX in a .300 Savage? I would greatly appreciate some one sending me a scan of the page if the data is available. Thanks!

    Getting ready for pronghorn!

    I've been getting ready for pronghorn, which opens on Saturday. I've been working on my Daughter's .250 Savage which I've ignored the last few years with starting a new job, moving to a new house, and shattering my leg. I've finally found a decent load that I think will serve my daughter well...

    To HMR or not to HMR?

    I really don't need a .17 HMR, but what does that have to do with anything right! I have a .22 WMR but ammo is crazy expensive when I can find it, not so bad if I find it on a trip to Bass Pro or Sportsmans Warehouse in Colorado Springs. However, if I have to buy it online $150 + shipping for...

    I'm kind of excited about this one!

    Howa introduced its new Mini action in 2015 and I thought it was pretty nice though they are rare right now. For 2016 Howa has decided to bring out the 6.5 Grendel in the mini action. The Grendel has always interested me, but I never wanted it in an AR. So my only option was to get a CZ or...

    New MRC Extreme X2 .243 Win arrived!

    I ordered this rifle through a special group buy off of 24 hour campfire offered by Whittaker's Gun Shop. I picked up my rifle today from the LGS, and to be honest I'm on the fence about it. I ordered some Talley mounts that didn't make it into the box, but Whittaker's admitted the mistake and...

    Feel like I've been winning the lottery lately!

    With my leg all buggered up and having regular trips to the Dr office I'm in town on a regular basis. Last two times I've been able to pick up some .22 LR in decent quantity at Walmart for a reasonable prices. Two weeks ago I bought two 325 packs of Federal auto match for $36 + tax. Today I...

    Can a Lawton style bolt release be added to a Savage 10/110 like it's commonly done to the Remington M700?

    Anyone have any tried and true pet loads for the 6.5X55? My buddy Hooligan1 is working on a swede and is looking for a 200+ yard deer Ioad. Please post your recipes here or in the link, the lighter the recoil the better as well. Thank you!

    Hooligan1's Gift!

    This story is about an old rifle and a really "Good Dude" wanting to do something special for a friend and his new bride to be. I've been on this forum awhile now and when I travel I'm usually somewhere I can meet up with someone that I've talked to on the TFL before. This last December was no...

    Hunting season already over!

    Well Tuesday night honey do's list wasn't very kind to me, I waited 9 years to draw an elk tag and I have to turn it in real quickly so I can get my points back to use for next year. Anyway I fell about 15 feet from a ladder replacing a window screen on a second story window. I'll let the...

    Playing with paint

    I've been working on this rifle for a neighbor kid that comes over and helps me out around the place. It's just a simple M670 Winchester in .270 Win barreled action I had . I found a used McMillan Winlite stock an spot bedded the recoil lug. Threw a Burris FFII 3-9X40 LRS (lighted ballistic...

    What make Hooligan1 happier

    than a pig in poop? Besides the obvious BBQ and cold beer with friends. How about a Stevens 200 .243 Win. That'll put a five shot group. Under a dime! I'm just happy that rifle I put together and sold him is still shooting well. ;)

    Buddy Needs Help?

    I have a buddy who frequents these forums, who is about to receive a M96 Mauser. It needs a barrel replaced and he has the barrel. Anyone on here a Smith willing to tackle the job of re-barreling and cutting a chamber to 6.5X55? I tried sending a PM to a regular who I know who has done work...

    My daughter had a good day!

    I don't even know what to say this year, but my daughter has made me so proud and is becoming a very accomplished hunter at the ripe old age of 11! Her skills with a rifle still amaze me and I know she'll surpass anything I've ever dreamed of doing. For the first time she filled all three of...

    300 yards for the first time today!

    I made my daughter go to the range today, that's right I made her. I've been struggling lately getting her to shoot. I don't want to force her, but deer season is coming up fast and she needs to shoot. I asked her if she liked hunting, and she said yes but she didn't really like shooting...
