I just got a new Savage Varmint .223 with a Choate Ultimate sniper stock,Muzzle brake,Harris bipod, and a 6-24 x50MM scope. I have never loaded for this caliber before and I wonder if anyone has any favorite powders to use. I plan to use 55 Gr. hpbt bullets or 62 gr. hpbt bullets. Rifle has...

This stupid arthritis has finally made me give up on my hard recoiling rifles. Every time I torch off a round in my M1, or .270 and even in heavy loads in my .50 Hawken I get a shot in the shoulder that almost puts me on the ground. My 8MM k 98 brings tears to my eyes. I had to sell some of...

I am finally thinking about building an AR for high power shooting. I have seen the Rock river Ads and wonder if that is a good rifle for high power.:)

When i ordered my M1 2 weeks ago I didn't expect to get a great looking rifle. I expected stock dings, parkerizing worn, crown worn, etc. When I opened the box I was stunned. New stock, CMP stamp on bottom of pistol grip. All the finish looks new. No shiny areas at all, even under the...

OK so its winter and I'm bored, so here are some of my toys. Lets see yours.

Due to the recent unavailability of 7.62x39 ammo, and the quality concerns, I am considering reloading for the caliber. Who makes brass, what bullet and what powder? What primer does it take, and what shell holder? Thanks in advance for any info you can give.:)

I bought one of the Yugo SKSs a couple of years ago. I didn't like the junk on the end of the barrel so I took off the bayonet and used a cut off wheel on the mount, then I cut off the barrel 1/2 in. forward of the front sight, thereby losing the muzzle brake and the grenade adapter. Then I...

I reported in a previous post that I had found a rifle in our office when we were cleaning it out. It is a Marlin 39A in .22 LR ca. 1952. When found, the rifle was missing a magazine and butt plate, It was also full of crud from sitting in a dusty place for about 30 years. Upon clean up, I...

OK I am about to open a can of worms here. If the President of the United States is supposed to do things for the good of the country, what good are we getting from the oppression of the Iraqi people? The issue of WMD which was the ostensible reason for the invasion is moot. There aren't any...

I have seen a lot of opinions on the best calibers for whatever, but I seldom see anyone recommend the .270 Win. I have come into possession of a FN Mauser in .270 built in 1951 by FN. This rifle has been glassbedded and has a fine trigger at 2.8Lb pull. With a BSA scope it will put 5 rds. in...

Hey guys I just found a Marlin 39A .22 rifle in the back of our old office. It has a missing magazine tube and no buttplate. A few rusty areas, but over all in good condition. Does anyone out there know anything about these rifles? are they a good piece? Is it worth repairing. I know the...

Does anyone out there know if a K-98 mauser is suitable for Ruger .204 conversion. Bolt face dimension? Magazine mod?

Does anyone out there know if there has ever been a factory made semi auto .270? I have never seen one in anything but bolt action.:cool:

Among the military rifles I have gathered over the years is a very fine M98 Rifle made in Yugoslavia during the war using German parts brought in by the Nazis. It is stamped m98 on the receiver and all of the parts have the same serial no. It is NOT an M44 or an M48. It has Przedice stamped...

My son and I were talking the other day and he said that Boxer primers were the ones with 2 or three holes, and Berdan primers were the American style with one centered hole. I had always thought the reverse was true. Which of us is right?:) :)
