    How much for a custom rifle?

    Hey guys I've been looking at custom rifles and wondering the prices you pay for yours. My thoughts currently are that it must be bolt action, 24 or 26 inch medium/heavy contour but I'm leaning towards the medium contour. It must be left handed - and something chambered in a 6.5 are my...

    Hey guys - I'm wondering what mounts/bases you'd use if you were mounting a 30mm scope on a savage rifle? The scope is a Vari X III 4.5 x 14 - 40mm. Its going on their short action as the rifle is chambered in .223 I'm thinking of using Leupold STD mounts. What height of rings would I need...

    When did Nosler Introduce "Hunting" Ballistic Tips?

    Ive read a lot of great reviews of ballistic tips performing well on deer however no one specifies if it was the original ballistic tip - or now the varmint or hunting style. I've read reviews that the ballistic tips were exploding on bone and not killing with a shoulder shot - was this with...

    Canadian Source for Easy Hit fiber sight

    Hey guys/girls I'm looking for a Canadian source of where perhaps I could get an easy hit sight - I'm interested in the red 2.5mm x 2.75" model. The 5" one is too long for hunting and risks getting smashed by almost 2x the amount being 2x longer... If anyone knows a similar sight with the same...

    http://www.gunsandammomag.com/cs/Satellite/IMO_GA/Story_C/Mossberg+new+lightning+Bolt+Action+Trigger+System Looks like a new accu trigger? They don't say much... other then a simple twist adjusts it from 2 to 7 pounds... the picture looks very "similar" to the accu trigger on savages. New for...

    Premium Deer Bullets

    I shoot a .30-06 and I am starting to reload - I want good, but not the best nor cheapest components and recently reading an article made me want to step up my bullet choice to a more premium bullet. Normally I've shot 150 grain core lokts and this year I switched to Federal Power Shock soft...

    Target Rounds vs Hunting Rounds

    I've really been looking into/educating myself on intermediate rounds - basically the 243/257/25-06/6.5s and I notice that almost all competition shooters use something that is generally not loaded in hunting rifles. I'm wondering the reason's behind this - and what would be a good 500 yard...

    Classic Lee Loader

    I am interested in this loader for portable use however I really have some questions about it... I've watched some videos about it and it looks like a great portable thing. 1 Does seating the bullet cause a pointed bullet/polymer tipped bullet to become a round nose? 2 Using a hammer? Does it...

    Scope Target Knobs

    I am looking for a scope with tactical style knobs, however most only come with target knobs which raise quite high/out of the scope compared to the standard dust covers or tactical style knobs. What do these targets knobs look like underneath? Is it just a raised dust cover with a special knob...

    Blue Glue Like Substance on Primers

    Hey all, I recently switched from Remington Core lokts to Federal(Power Shok?) Soft points, and there is this this blue glue looking stuff coming out from where the primers are stamped into the brass. I've never seen this on any other ammunition before, and thought I'd ask. I bought 2 boxes...
