    8x57 Ackley?

    Since almost every other cartridge that has ever exsisted has been tried with a 40 degree shoulder, how come I never heard of the good ol' Mauser getting a dose of Ackley? Or maybe it is in Ackley's Handbooks and I just need to get 'em ........or even better, a 30 degree shoulder, slightly more...

    Planning to try HighPower........

    .....ran a search and found a suggestion that appealed to my "thrifty" nature.....that being the one offered of using a Mauser with target sights and stripper-groove intact. Being that I haven't yet shot competitively, and and am unsure how I will like it....perhaps not to the tune of five...

    C&R/ Stock shape=felt recoil?......

    ......Two parter. 1) Last post has me curious, what/ who do I talk to about getting a C&R. It would cut down on fuss with the Mauser-remodeling....... 2) Can the shape of a stock accentuate recoil? Reason I ask is I just saw a side by side photo of the CZ Lux and the CZ American. Lux looks...

    Questionable knowledge.......

    Recently while at my local Wal-mart, I asked the fellow at the Sporting Good counter if they might carry any of the better grades of .22long rifle ammunition. Well, says he, I got Thunderbolt and Blazer and Winchester X. I probed further, How about some Eley Tenex or Federal Gold Medal? He says...

    Better bedding on a Sav.340.....

    Can one eliminate the barrel band on a Savage 340 (30-30) ....and if so, how do you bed the action then? I have thought of welding a piece of metal on to the tang, providing a way to do a more conventional rear guard screw set-up...but also wondered if that's going a bit too far , for an old...

    Thoughts on "Gunsmith Kinks I-IV"....

    I was interested in this series of books, compiled evidently by Brownells of Montezuma, Iowa. They really make these books sound good for the amatuer or the professional.......anybody own or like them? Also, changing subjects, but just curious, at what caliber (or other point) does one decide...

    We're different sides/same coin...

    .....(wasn't sure which Forum to stick this on, but this is my favorite) The long-range crowd says," If you shot any good, you'd do it from way back here." The stalker bunch," If you wanted to hunt, not 'snipe', you'd get closer." The well-heeled shootist advises," If you want quality...
