Hello. I was wondering what the number equilavent of the Winchester M70 Coyote barrel would be? Actually, more specifically, I'm looking at a custom Mauser with a #4 barrel and was wanting to know if this would be closer to the Coyote 'semi-heavy contour' or a standard sporter weight such as the...

Well, since it looks like we'll be closed down before too long, what other internet forums do you guys frequent? This is about the best hunting/varmint/all around rifle forum I've come across. I guess we could just chose one and make it better with our presence :rolleyes: But seriously, I'd...

Anyone familiar with the Mauser line of rifle scopes? Are they anything close to Swarovski, Zeiss, S&B etc... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31714&item=1982030018

Hello all. I recently bought a Williams peep sight for my Marlin 336. Of course, I would prefer the original rear sight not be in my line of sight. What exactly is the proper method of removing the rear sight? Is this something I lift or push or pull the right way or should I take it to my...

OK... So, I'm bored. With all the recent scope threads, I thought I'd ask what scope is currently on the gun you shoot the most. Is it your most expensive/highest quality scope or is that reserved for a rifle you don't often shoot? For me, the one I shoot the most at the moment is my .223 700...

I was wondering if anyone has been able to look through both a Swarovski 26mm series scope AND a Zeiss Conquest. Are they even in the same ballpark? I got a Swarovski that was beat to hell but the optics are stellar and was wanting to get another comparable scope. Is the Swarovski that much...

I have a friend that is in possession of a DUO pistol in caliber 6.35mm It was obtained into this family in 1943 and is of Italian manufacture and is marked with a five digit serial number. None of my limited value books list any such pistol. Anyone have any idea what this gun is or what it's...

Anyone familiar with this caliber? There is a gun for sale on gunbroker.com that looks pretty interesting but it is chambered for 30 BR. I assume this will be a 'short fat' case along the lines of the 6mm BR, 6mm PPC and and 22 PPC. And I would therefore conclude that it would require a...

Well, I've had a Savage 12FV and currently have a 10FP both in 223. I'm wanting to get a bit higher quality piece and have narrowed it down to the Winchester Stealth, Remington 700 VS and the 700 Police. They all seem roughly comparable except for price. I do think that I like the stock of the...

OK, I know it's been asked and debated and debated some more but let's go again... Another thread got me wondering about the forum member's Magnum vs no Magnum ratio. If you could only have one caliber, what would it be? Rimfires do not count, only centerfire. Obviously the area of the country...

Hello all. I was wondering roughly what I should budget for having a 'smith rebarrel and convert a sporter-type rifle in 7x57 Mauser to a 257 Roberts. The headspacing is the same, right? What else would be involved beyond the actual re-barreling? Thanks.

If anyone has any leads on a reasonably lightweight rifle in 257 Roberts, I'd much appreciate it. Either something you might have, something at a gunshop/pawnshop or something a friend of yours might have. I'm not against refinishing the stock so wood condition isn't as important as metal/blue...

Hello. Several people on this forum have mentioned that Walmart has excellent prices on the Savage rifle/scope combos. I stopped in at the one in Plainfield, IN and was told that they did not stock Savage products at that location and that they could not do any special orders. Actually, their...
