While talking with a tech from Weatherby, i was surprised to find that thet do not sell their Mark V action or barreled action. This was saddening, after thoughts of building a wildcat 7mm-378 ELR/ULR rifle on a Mark V action. So i'm seeking input on any interest for the Mark V action on the...

So, i had Carpal Tunnel surgery last summer on both wrists. Finally started back to shooting pistol again. I've recently picked up an H & K VP9 and a Walther PPQ in 45ACP. Both shoot groups i'm really happy with. But it's a consistent 4" low. Centered, but 4" low. I'm leaning towards...

I've been searching my local, and some not so local, gunshops for a Savage in 7mm-08. Since shooting out the barrel on my Stevens 200, i rebarreled it to 250 Savage. I have the reamer, dies to do the 7mm-08 AI again, but am really liking the 250 Savage. So, browsing around yesterday, i found...

My future son in law asked me to look at his Mossberg 500 12ga, as the safety was stuck. Took it home and disassembled. Spent hours (7) cleaning and getting the unburnt powder (?) out of the receiver. Soaked the safety with WD40. Got it to move ok while disassembled. Lubed with light coat...

I managed to obtain a commercial Mauser, built by "Firearms Co. Alpine". It is currently chambered in "7.62X2.49" ala 30-06. This will be a hunting rifle build. I currently have three 25 caliber, and three 7mm's. So it doesn't necessarily fill a niche that i need. Just a want. So, choices...

Along with the shortage on components, the wait times on barrels is ever increasing. When i originally ordered my barrel from Shilen i was told 12 weeks. I got an email yesterday stating the barrel finally shipped. At the 18 week mark. E.R. Shaw's sight is stating 20 week wait. Up from...

So my wife finally said, " go out west & hunt if that's what you want to do". :eek: Even knowing there's better than 50/50 chance i may not come back to Pennsylvania. :rolleyes: 2 friends of mine are a "heck yeah i'll go!" But one wants to hunt mule deer instead of elk. While 2 of us would...

I found what i believe is a really good deal on a Noreen ULR in 408 Cheytec. I don't own any big boomers, but must confess the thought of KO2M really interests me. I have 1 local 1,000 yard range, and 1 not as local. Rifle does come with a 0 MOA, and a 30 MOA rail. I obviously don't NEED...

After the fire some months ago at Pac-Nor, some good news! A new building is going up, and they expect to start taking orders again by July! While i don't own one of their barrels (yet) i wish nothing but the best for them and their employees.

Just a heads up. Peterson Cartridge has released 4 new cases. 30-06 270 Win 280 Rem 280AI. Those looking for high quality brass should check them out!

Up early (5am) for my first groundhog match today. 100 yard match near Grampion, PA. I've never shot this type of match. Doing so from invitation of another shooter that lives in my home town. (Altoona, PA.) Using my wife's very stock, Savage 110FP in 223 Rem. It has an EGW 20MOA one piece...

Was looking at Sierra's 7mm, 160gr Tipped MatchKing,. Has anyone tried these yet? Experience with them? Thanks!

So i've finally decided that i need to build a dedicated range rifle. (Or 2 :D) My first choice is on a Savage Axis action. Model 10,12,16,Stevens 200 being my second picks. Since i have the reamer, gages, and dies my first caliber pick is 7mm-08AI. This will obviously be a heavy barrel 28"...

I got to check out the new Savage 110 Ultralight at the Harrisburg, PA Outdoors Show. Actually not a bad looking rifle, but not a Model 70 in the looks department. Based on a lightened 110 action, looked more like a lightened Axis action. Comes with the adjustable AccuTrigger, and the...

I was thinking of suitable carrtridges for some informal long range shooting (1,000 yards +), and a smattering of some 600 yard F Open matches. It got me curious as to necking the 25 WSSM (largest caliber made in WSSM) to 7mm. Thoughts? Std7mag

PA archery starts Oct. 5th. We are allowed to set up tree stands on gamelands 2 weeks prior to season (this past Sat.) One place i was planning to set one up has been clearcut within the past 2 weeks. Iincluding the tree i was going to sit in. :rolleyes: At least the crew moved my camera to...

So, i had bought a large ring Mauser at auction for $65. Decided to strip down and do custom build. Cartridge 7X57 Mauser. My plan was a blued & wood hunting rifle. Dakota 3 position safety, Timney trigger, E.R.Shaw 22" number 1 contour barrel, Boyds Prarrie Hunter stock. Things were going...

So, after doing some digging and measuring i've come to the conclusion that the "German" Mauser i got at auction is actually a large ring M44 Spanish Mauser. There is no caliber stamped, and i really just don't feel like taking the time to do a casting. The original stock was hacked attemting...

My daughters boyfriend wanted me to go to a gun auction with him today. Took $100 with me for JIC money. Not planning on buying any firearms, but they usually have scopes, gun cases, and reloading items at these things. So how did i make out, you ask? Got a nice lockable gun case, with 2 keys...

Ok, yes i know it's strange coming from me, but i'm looking for load data for shotguns. I know a lot has to do with who makes the hull, wad used, and length of hull, shot load in ounces. Looking at Alliant, i can't find any data for 3 inch 20 gage. Looking for a good heavy turkey load...
