Hey all, Just made a trade I'm sure I won't get hurt on for a '65 Winchester 88 in .284. I can post pictures this weekend, but from the pictures I see it is in near mint condition. Anyone want to throw out a value based on this scant description? I'm told the left-hand cheek piece was a custom...

I'm planning on a future build. The base for the build is a Whitworth 300 WM which will eventually be a 375 Ruger with a stainless barrel. I'm going to have someone do the work, but would like to see what people think as to the barrel maker they would use. Thanks, Jerry

Let's say I live in Arkansas and desire to travel to Tulsa this weekend for the Wannamacher Arms Show. Also, lets say I have a very low serial number Winchester M54 that I don't have much of an attachment to. Say I find a pre-64 Winchester 264 WM and both parties agree to some kind of trade and...

I've decided to run over to Tulsa for the gun show on 7 April. I haven't been since I was a kid with my dad. I will be taking my Winchester Model 54 SN 59 to see if anyone is interested. I ran into a guy at a local show this past weekend that said upstairs was less crowded and had the "better"...

Anyone have experience with Montana Rifle Company rifle's? Thanks, Jerry

Not sure if this is the right place for this...but.....Do any of you seem to have terrible luck with Federal Fusion ammo, or is it just me. I haven't found any of my rifles that like it. Unfortunately, I bought several boxes in 6.5x55 when the local Gander Mountain was in it's last days and it...

I would like to know if the Zastava mini mauser in 7.62x39 would be an appropriate action to build a custom .260. They are relatively cheap and I would like to use it for a donor action. Thoughts? Jerry

Hey All, Picked up a vintage 1966 Winchester M70 22-250 heavy barrel for a song. I'm curious if anyone here can tell me the twist rate on this rifle? I know I can measure it, but I'm being lazy and picking brains here first. Gonna hit the range Saturday afternoon with a variety of 50 and 55...

When my father passed, I inherited his Gibbs Lee Enfield 45-70 conversion much like this... http://www.armslist.com/posts/4002720/kokomo-indiana-rifles-want-to-buy--navy-arms-gibbs-lee-enfield-45-70 Now, any off-the-shelf ammo I buy will be obviously rated for the many, many old rifles...

So, a friend from work wanted to reload for his 7mm Rem Mag, but didn't want to get into the expense of the whole set up. Since he is a friend, I told him if he bought all the particulars we could do it on my set up. He bought the dies and bullets. However, the bullets he bought were 180 grain...

So, tell me about the Whitworth imported by Interterms? I made a deal with a guy from work for one in 300 win mag for $425 based on some photos. I will see it in person tomorrow and likely seal the deal. I don't know any other details other than it looks very nice in the pictures. Don't know...

Just curious if anyone could share some insight why the 7 Rem Mag sent the 264 Win Mag to the dusty corner when it came out? Just doesn't make sense for a "Western" rifle. I have an FN model 70 in 264 that shoots great and I just picked up a model 70 Classic Sporter (NOS) in 7 Rem Mag for a...

The local (closing) Gander Mountain has Remington CDLs for under $650. I know there have been many discussions on their quality, as well of how it has improved lately. Deal is, I need to pick up a new rifle for my youngest and they happen to have one in 270. Worth it? Thanks, Nunya

Thoughts, opinions on the Cooper 57M 22 WMR Jackson Squirrel? Thinking about picking one up and would like thoughts of the fine members here.... Thanks, Nunya53

First, I should start off as by admitting I have being deemed by a couple of friends as caliber confused (although they didn't put it that nicely, if you know what I mean). Anyway, I have a varmint / coyote AR I built currently chambered in .223 Wylde. Because of my affinity for uncommon...

I was at a local retailer that deals in new and used guns to give a third look at a Winchester M54 270 WCF. This was when I noticed what I believe to be the S/N (I don't pretend to be an expert) of #59 that was stamped on the right forward side of the receiver. As stated, I'm not an expert on...

Ok, so my LGS has had a consignment 1954 Win M70 270 on the rack for a few months....starting price was $999. Yeah I was interested but not THAT interested...It disappeared from the rack while it was on gunbroker but eventually reappeared. The rifle is clean, no rust or spots on the blue and a...

Need some opinions. Now I'm primarily a Mauser / Winchester M70 kind of guy...but I fondled a Remington 700 CDL in a local store not too far back. I can say it was a very nice rifle and I'm intrigued. However, I do run across opinions that their quality control has gone down hill... What say...

So, I was browsing one of the local pawn & gun shops and come across a JC Higgins M50 in 30-06. Everything I read say they are excellent. Anyway, it has been used but not abused, appears to have a Lyman rear sight (not sure) and a plain jane stock. Thinking of picking it up to use the FN action...

Hi All, So I bought a used Winchester Model 70 Classic Stainless in 300WM a while back with the standard synthetic stock. Hard information to find, but I believe it was manufactured in the mid-1990's. I'm looking to put a nice walnut stock on it, but need some expert opinion on a few points...
