    Full-body, push through sizer for .308?

    Hello, all... Does anyone know of an available die to completely size a .308 Winchester case? I am looking for a push through sizer, like the new Redding .40 die, that takes the whole case completely through the die. Of course, one for .45 ACP would work well, too. Any suggestions?

    Savage 10FP Stock/Bottom Metal Interchangability

    OK...so, now I'm looking to put the finishing touches on my precision rifle. It is a Savage 10FP-LE2A. This is a good, sturdy and ACCURATE rifle. Just went to school with it--the rifle was shooting just as well as the three AI .308 rifles that were in the course! However, there was one...

    But, is it accurate?

    To all: It is safe to say that we as shooters definitely have our preferences when it comes to cartridges, and what we expect for them. We have cartridges that we use for hunting purposes (example, .30-30, .35 Remington, etc.) cartridges that we use for accuracy, both competition and otherwise...

    Looking for a Steyr AUG carbine copy...

    Does anyone know about the AUG copies? I am familiar with the MSAR, and it's sweet. There is supposed to be another one on the market that takes AR15 magazines--another AUG copy. Does anyone know what they're called and if they're available?

    It's coming---oh, yes!

    A while ago, I was looking about at various platforms from which to launch lead. I found myself recently in a most favorable position--I finally got the guns that I wanted! The gun safe is comfortably full. So, what next? I found myself reading various articles about black powder rifles. I was...

    Opinions and information, please...

    Well, I'm back from Camp Perry. I went to shoot in the Nationals--and I am VERY upset, to say the least. My scores exactly reflected my levels of preparedness--with all the OT I had to pull from August to April, it was kinda low, as you might expect. Thus, I got mad--and now, I'm seriously out...

    Grips for a 1917 Colt Revolver

    A question, if you will..... I just got a replacement set of grips for a Colt 1917 New Service. They fit well, and the revolver feels much better! Thing is, they're too small for me--as in too thin! Plus, they're made fo plastic and kinda flimsy. Will Python grips fit that New Service? I...

    A Reply to the Seattle Times

    This evening, I read a column called "Ask Amy", who appears to have inherited the space from the old "Dear Abby" column. Of course, I am aware of the slant of most newspaper columns, but I still like to read these. Tonight, I was VERY perturbed and concerned about a reply she gave to one...

    Prepare yourselves....here it comes

    Note well, the gradual sidling up to the plate of our two democratic darlings, Hillary and Obama. Does anyone NOT think that they will run for office--more than likely as a President/Vice President ticket? Oh, yes they will. So, I know that there are a LOT of people who will declare that they...

    Burris Xtreme or Nikon Tactical?

    Just when I think I have it pinned down, more information pops up to confuse me. I just read up on the Burris Xtreme, and I am impressed to say the least. I am even more impressed with the review I read about the Nikon Tactical scope--one guy says that quality wise, it falls squarely between...
