    .30-40 AI! Oh Yeah!

    Just got a smoking deal on a new barrel going to have it chambered in .30-40 AI. I just won a .308 Marlin T/C 28" Pro Hunter barrel the other day and it arrived on my doorstep for the low ball price of $130 delivered still in the blister pack! When I found out about winning it I called Match...

    Playing with MS Excel

    I've been burning up a lot of ammunition lately and seem to be getting nowhere. I've known about the Audette Ladder and Dan Newberry's OCW methods for reloading for quite some time now. I just figured if it ain't broke don't fix it, well my method finally broke! So I've got a .300 H&H that is...

    Horizontal stringing?

    If you have a rifle with extreme horizontal stringing what is the first thing you look at assuming it isn't the idiot pulling the trigger? Were talking 3-4" spread on 3 shot groups, multiple different charge weights. Brass is all brand new .300 Savage from Remington, bullets are 150 grain...

    PITA Gunsmith, what do I do?

    Have a guy that I've been using for the last few years to do my FFL transfers. He has been working on becoming a gunsmith over the last year, and I let him do a small ring build for me in .300 Savage. Well took it to the range today and found out that the chamber is out of spec. I got the...

    Beretta PX4 SC 9mm

    What can you tell me about it? I just bought one for my wife for CC firearm. I really wanted to get her a .357 Revolver but she fell in love with this pistol. I figured if I'm going to get her to carry it, I'd better get her the handgun she loved. She has plenty of experience with handguns...

    It finally happened!

    I'm sending my first Leupold scope back because it broke. I have a VX-II 4-12X40AO with a broken reticle, well not totally broken but a piece of it is missing. On the horizontal cross hair I have about 1/4" of it just flat out missing. and I need to send it back soon as I want to use this...

    Need some help! Shaping a gunstock!

    What you see above is a M93 Mauser in .300 Savage. I’m building this rifle on the cheap, sort of. I bought the donor rifle for $50 that some bubba did a real hack job on. I picked up the .30-06 small ring barrel from Vapodog for something like $45 shipped. The bottom metal and trigger guard...

    How do you like my Yugo!

    It is done! I’m not sure if I’ll stick with the scope I’ve got mounted on it right now but I’m happy to have it all back together. I just got the barreled action back from getting the Teflon finish and caliber engraved in the barrel. It has been done for a couple of months now but today was...

    Champion Targes Customer Service A+++

    May not seem like much but I have a set of duraseal prairie dog targets that I bought for my daughter. The other day I was shooting them with my 6x47 rifle at 200 yards and accidently cut the base wire in two with an errant shot. I emailed Champion to see if I could buy a replacement set and...

    Casted my first bullets today!

    Got my Lee 10lb pot yesterday from my buddy and melted down some WW's last night and got the lead cleaned up and poured into ingots. So I pulled out my new Lee mould this morning and gave it a good scrubbing with Dawn and a tooth brush and got it cleaned up. Let it set in the sun to dry while...

    Thinking of joining the Casting crowd!

    Really wanting to step up to the big bore rifles (.400 Whelen, .404 Jeff, .416 Rigby or .458 Lott) and thinking I need to start casting. From what I've read the big bore stuff lead shoots as fast as jacketed stuff and would save me a lot of money in the long run. I used to manage a tire store...

    Load development, using a target scope?

    Sometimes I think my scopes hurt me a little when I'm developing a load for my rifles. Just wondering how many people out there build a load with a different scope and then switch to the one that they will use on their rifle for whatever. I usually like regular or heavy duplex for my riflesl...

    New Winchester 94 rifles!

    I read in this months American Hunter magazine Winchester is going to bring out a commerative Model 94 this comming year. If they are going to gear up a plant to produce a commerative then regular production should be soon to follow I'd think. While the 94 isn't exactly scope friendly it is my...

    Kimber Sporter 96 problems

    A year back I picked up off Gunbroker a Carl Gustav M96 sporterized by Kimber of Oregon in 6.5X55. It was pretty much just a D&T nickel plated receiver with the military barrel cut and recrowned, military sites removed, butler creek stock and low swing safety installed. I've done a lot of...

First thing I did was install the...
