I did the first rifle last summer it was my first time toying with a Savage rifle. Bought this Sevens 200 just to build something on. I settled on 6X47/6mm-222RM for the cartridge. I put a Sin Arms 1:12 twist barrel on it #3 contour, 11 degree crown 20" long. SSS competition trigger, recoil...

Over the years I've picked up a few bubba job small ring mauser rifles. I have a nice action that has had the charging hump removed, d&t, and the trigger guard has been profiled. It will need a new bolt handle, and I'm thinking of going with a slicked off shroud and a Bold trigger with side...

Don't know if this is new news or not but I got an email from Leupold introducing their Redfield scopes. I really like my old Denver made Redfield rifle scopes and would be willing to give these new ones a shot. Wasn't impressed by any of the Redfield scopes after the Denver models...

Just got this old 1917 Winchester action. It has been opened up for a magnum round, some of the other mods include, filled duck pond, straightend bottom metal, new bolt handle, speed lock kit, and Timney trigger. I already own two other rifles that use the same bolt face, a .300 H&H on...

Here is the rifle I hope to take my elk with this year. I will be carrying my .30-06 as back up but I'll be hunting a lot in dark timber and this little rifle is just begging to be used. I will be adding this Rice peep sight to the bolt and I do have a new safety on order. This rifle...

Not for the normal reasons however. The reason for my failure: There was a lot of kicked up dust and random singing of Sugarland, a whole lot of "what ifs", and "look at this". There was not any chance I'd get within shooting range and filling either of my tags on my SE Colorado Pronhorn...

Ken what did you get me into, but I must say "Thank You" for selling me this action a couple of years back!:D:D:D Well my Smith called yesterday and said my .25-06 was ready to hunt. All the work isn't done yet but she is good to go out for pronghorn this season before the final finishing...

I usually carry a couple of knives the first is a Buck Lite folder that I've had for several years. Good reliable knife that sharpens fairly easily, and isn't overly large. The other knife I carry is a Helle Odel cost me $80 but it is by far the best fixed bladed knife that I've owned. Don't...

I’ve decided to go off and order a new barrel for a rifle I haven’t even shot yet. I won a NIB Stevens 200 chambered in .223 at auction on Tuesday night for $243 delivered and just ordered a 6x47 barrel for it. The 6x47 I’m going with is based off of the .222 Remington Mag case not the Lapua...

Finally got some primers ordered today. After months of having my name on the email list for out of stock items on Midway was able to pick up a couple thousand Winchester Large Rifle primers. Hated to pay that entire hazmat fee but I don’t know where else to get them since the local shops...

Here is something a little fun to play with! http://www.cci-ammunition.com/game/default.htm

My friend shot this buck with his .30-30 AI 14" Contender pistol last fall on my families ranch. This buck had tons of mass all the way up to the cutters. Nearly grossed 77" even though he barely had horns 14+" long. The guys here at Timberline Taxidermy in Colorado Springs do great work...

I got this rifle a while back and had a recoil pad put on it as didn't have anything on the buttstock. Just got it back last night, I just can't get over the wood on this old JC Higgins rifle. I picked it up for $300 with an old Denver Redfield 2-7 power. Unfortunately the old Redfield had a...

First off I'll say it I like my Leupold, they are my favorite hunting scopes. That said I have many other scopes that I use to include low end BSA and Barska optics and have even owned a NC Star at one time. I've never had a Leupold fail me but I have sent scopes back for service. If I buy a...

Got done loading up some rounds to fire form. My cartridge is a .280 GNR which is a wildcat based on the .405 Winchester parent cartridge. I've read plenty on how to neck up/down cartridges and done quite a few based on the .30-06 cartridge but I never did have to really fire form any rounds...

Went to my favorite gun store yesterday and found out Saturday is there last day from the guy who has managed the store for the last 29 years.:( It isn't the economy that is the cause of this just old age, unfortunately it caught up here. The owner has passed and there is no one with enough...

Don't know if anyone shoots RN ammunition in their .270 Win but I think it would make a fine pig hunting or just about anything else hunting round. I don't use it and have plenty of .270 loaded but $13.99 a box is tempting. Remember Graf's only charges $4.50 for handling and doesn't charge...

Some of you may have already seen this but I got it in an email today and had to share it.

Read the article on this new cartridge in G&A and I'm a little excited to see what Federal can do with this cartridge. Federal's load pushes a 286 grain bullet at 2550 fps with over 4100 ft-lbs of energy. So it delivers a slightly faster and harder hitting bullet than a .375 H&H with a 300...

Love this part of the forum and have got some great deals on it but I'm tired of seeing old post brought back to the front. Some of them that I've seen recently have been 6 months old if not older. Can we get for sale items that haven't had a new post in 30 days or if the item has been Sold...
