    Tikka T3 Hunter

    Found a good deal on line for these in about 4 calibers. Looking strongly at the 7 mag. Any pros and cons to the walnut stock verses the synthetic. All my Tikkas are synthetic.

    Looking for decent budget Ar10 in 308

    I do own a 5.56 in semi auto. All other rifles are bolt and levers. Been looking at Armalite and DPMS in 308. Definitely not a need just a want. From google 50% reviews it appears I can not get moa accuracy with either. I am shooting a Savage FCP and Remington milspec in 308 that does 1/2 moa...

    Need some optics advise

    I've been using a sfp Nightforce SHV 4.5x14x56 on a 308 milspec. It's ok out to a 1000 at steel but not precision. The new SHV is a 6x20x56 I've been looking at. Also had some interest in the xviii 6.5x20 until I saw the 8x32 Sightron. I moved away from Leupold hunting scopes when the Roman...

    Anyone own a Winchester XPR

    Saw a good deal on these at Cabelas for the 4th sale. Shouldered nice and bolt was smooth. Anyone own one as far as accuracy. Not a model 70 but good enough price for a truck beater gun.

    New Marlins

    Local gun store has the new Marlin 45 colt and 44 mag on sale for $459.00 plus a $75.00 rebate. I've got one of the new 336 that looks parkerized and needs to be refinished with a good bluing. Haven't shot it yet so will wait on cosmetics. The 45 and 44 are blued. Stocks fit up nice. Any issues...

    Savage 10 FCP

    Found one of these with a great price tag today. Not sure what to scope it up with yet but had a Nikon Prostaff 7 2.5x10 laying around and put it on for the time being. Didn't know Savage had a 5r rifling in their guns but I like it in my Remington. Only drawback I can see so far is the bolt...

    Boresighter issues

    I've got an old bsa boresighter. It works with 7 mm caliber. 22 caliber but when I put the 30 caliber insert in it's always way above the top of the grid. Bore sighted a 30-30 with new Burris full field scope and was out of clicks before I could get low enough to get on the grid. That's 4 30...

    Obama finally got my rifles need help

    Hubby and I got a good old fashioned audit from 2014 and couldn't win no matter what so Bench guns had to go to fund the good old USA. LOL Pun intended. We are looking to replace 2 and he doesn't want to go back with the Tikka CTR in 260 or the mil spec in 308. Does anyone make a good stock...

    Redding sets of shell holders

    Curious if these she'll holders actually work setting headspace or if they are just a sell tactic. I only use one brand of brass in a few rifles but use several types in other rifles. Continually changing die adjustments on different brands. Hoped these might save time picking a specific she'll...

    Next press to consider

    I started reloading 2 years ago with a Lee Anniversary kit. Last year upgraded to a Lee classic cast breech lock. I love the new press but the breech lock bushings after several times adjusting sizing dies wear around the locking groove at top of the press. If moved a little left or right it can...

    1-10 verses 1-11 twist on 300 wsm

    I had a Savage model 16 in 300 wsm that was a sub inch grouper with 180 grain nbt's I picked up a Tikka T3 with 1-11 twist today. Going to load some up for the weekend but wondering if the 1-11 will stabilize 180 grain as good as the 1-10 did.

    Problems with Lee dispenser and H100

    I've been able to throw Titegroup, HP-38 and Unique with no issues. I picked up some H100 today for my 357 and powder measure is throwing on the table out of left side. I tightened the Phillips screw up so that the handle is somewhat rough but still fuming out of the cylinder. Is this common for...

    Smith and Wesson 66-2

    Found one of these with original wood grips. Four inch barrel ss. No lock. They are asking $675.00 tax and all out the door. No box no documents. 100% condition. Good and tight. Can't get them to budge another dollar. Is it worth that much. Was going to buy a 686 six shot for 625.00 without tax...

    Low powered 357 case with unique

    I've looked all over my loading books and can't find a load I'm wanting for 357 and unique. I am going to load some 158 grain lrnsp for my 10 year old gk to shoot out of a snub nose at the range. Paper only. Looking for mild load that won't squib. Would do 38 but only have 357 brass.

    Found a nice little carry gun today

    was out looking for an LCR X and come across this little model 60 today with really nice trigger job. Mid range 357 loads not bad at all through it. Got a better deal than buying the Ruger new. Some gun shopping days I just get lucky.

    124 gr 9 mm and unique

    I've loaded a lot of 9 mm in the past but picked up some 124 gr xtps today. Only powder I had in Hornady 9th was unique. Wanted a hotter load and found 4.7 grains is almost full case. Had loaded with tite group before and no crunching powder when seating bullets. I use unique for my 45 colt so...

    Blackhawk revolver verses the Rossi 45 colt

    I had purchased a SS Rossi 22 inch barrel a few months back. Rear sight has been an issue for me. I think I gave $450.00 for it new. I've put a Pearsons no drill scout scope mount on it and popped a red dot on the rail. A buddy wants to swap me a new Ruger Blackhawk even up for the Rossi. I've...

    Hornady loc n Load powder charger and Lyman case prep station

    Just a FYI for anyone maybe wanting these. My first experience with powder thrower. No fans. No air circulating. No magnets. Anything to keep it up and running right. Threw every powder I had and matched my 505 scale. Started throwing correct on Loc n load scale but .3 grains off on my 505 and 2...

    30-06 powders

    Got dilemma. When I first got this CDL in 30-06 I had a box of 190 grain Nosler long range accubonds. I loaded it up with 59 grains of RL 22 and in 80 degree weather it was shooting sub 1/2 groups at 100 and close to same at 200. Went last week and shot some in 35 degree weather. Bullets are not...
