Hi everyone, I really want to buy a Marlin 39A and since there aren't many in the used market where I am I'll probably have to buy a new one. I've heard alot of negative comments about the new 39a since Remington took over and i guess i want to know have those problems been rectified and if I...

As the title suggests i'm wondering if given that it's a bolt action the ruger 77/44 could take hotter loads than say my 1894 in 44 magnum?

Hi all, I'm travelling over to the US later this year (i'm form Australia) and i'm keen to have a look at a gun show or two. Thing is I'm planning my itinerary in advance so i kind of need to find out now when they are on. Once i find a list or something of ones that are in cities when i'll...

Hi all, I've been looking at the Sako Brown Bear to upgrade my current 338 win mag and i think they're a great rifle. The only thing is i'm not to sure how it would be shooting a 338 in a 21" barrel such as in the brown bear. Has anyone fired one of these or another 338 with a similar barrel...

I want to get a 1-4x20 scope for my marlin 1894 44 magnum and i'm trying to decide between a Leupold VX-R, Mark 4 AR or a VX 2. My current circumstances mean that I can't really try all three in the shop so I'm looking for some first hand information. The reason I said Leupold is that I've got...

Hi, I have an opportunity to buy a second hand 458 Lott ruger no.1. I'm fine shooting my 338 WM so whilst the recoil is heavy I don't think it will be a huge issue for me. So what are everyone's experiences with this cartridge especially in the ruger no.1? Thanks

So as the title suggests if I buy the reamer for a custom rifle and get a couple reloading die blanks would a gunsmith be able to make me some dies? Alternatively which of the die makes is the best to go through when it comes to having custom dies made using a fired case from my rifle. I...

Hi, I have a 98 turkish mauser action and i've been reading about twede's. I can get a new swedish model 38 barrel reasonably cheap and I'm wondering if I could use this to build a twede? What about a 1904 verguerio action, would the above barrel fit one of them? Thanks

Is this possible? from the research I've done in terms of comparing case sizes and what not it should be able to be done but thought I'd ask you knowledgeable bunch.

I've came into posetion of a 1904 mauser action in very good contition. I was wondering if it would be alright for a custom build? I'm thinking of maybe an 8mm06 or something like that. Any thoughts/ experiences would be appreciated.

Im looking at buying a Tikka M55 in 222 Remington and I'm wondering what these rifles are like is it a good action? Any information or experience would be appreciated.

I have a set of P O Ackleys Handbook for shooters and reloaders They're both in excellent condition. The volume 1 is a 5th printing done in 1962 and the volume 2 is a 2nd printing in 1970. They're both black hard covers with gold embossed writing on the spines. I'm curious if these are of any...

As the title suggests I'm looking for some rosewood grips for my browning hi power and I'm having a bit of trouble finding any. Can anyone suggest somewhere I may be able to find some?

Hi, I just got my CZ527 in 22 hornet back from the gunsmith and it's now a 22 k hornet. I never owned dies for it in 22 hornet as I always intended on having it re chambered as soon as I got it now i'm about to put together some 22 hornet loads to fireform the cases and I don't want to buy a...

I'm about to buy one of these and I haven't been able to find that much information on the net in terms of reviews and articles. any of you guys have one and what are you're experiences with them? The one i'm looking at is in 22 hornet so if you have any specific experience with that particular...

I've got a fair few canisters of 748 at the moment and i was wondering that since it's suitable for 223 it may be ok for 6.8 SPC. I can't find any load data anywhere for the 90 or 110grain projectiles. Has anyone tried 748 in their 6.6 spc or know where i may be able to find some data?

I'm going to start using 225gr Barnes TSX projectiles in my 338 win mag and I'm looking for some pet loads that I should try. I'm also interested to hear what bullets you guys are using in your 338's. Thanks

I loaded up some 125grain conical projectiles and there are about 10 in the lost that are measuring in at 1.118 instead of the 1.125 that i was loading them to. Should these be ok to fire or should i pull them? Thanks. I should add these are for 9mm for what it's worth.

I'm looking to replace the stock of my remington 700 SPS .308 and i can't seem to work out if a BDL or ADL stock will fit it. It just has the hinged floorplate blind magazine. BTW if anyone is has one a timber or grey laminate they would be keen to off load PM me. Thanks

So as the thread suggests I'm trying to decide on one bullet that will do pretty much every thing (I acknowledge that some weights will be better for some things than others). It's for a bolt action rifle so please take that into consideration. I guess it's in the theme of the Ruger guide gun...
