    CVA purchase

    Hah! I went to one of the local Wally Worlds today (the one I usually go to is sold out) and found a NEW CVA Buckhorn Magnum for $100 and tax. The kid has a new Christmas present that he hasn't asked for but I know he wants! Wait until he sees it. I have a set of bases and rings to go with the...

    sign in queries

    Would someone please explain what the queries are when I sign in? Is that the number of members checking to see if I'm logged in or what? Sometimes it's 9 but lately it's 11. What is this number, and what does it mean?

    Why can't I post on Legal/Civil Issues?

    Is there some reason I can't post on the legal/civil threads? I tried to post my .02 on the Cooper fiasco and a header came up that I'm not allowed to post there. What gives?

    New Cooper 25/06

    I just watched a guy take delivery of a new Cooper Arms rifle in 25/06. Nice subdued finish, target enclosed of a 3 shot group that was 1 bullet hole. Not a shamrock, one bullet hole. D***! Wish I was RICH! I'd buy a dozen if they all shot like that one!

    Marlin MR7

    I spotted a used but nice Marlin MR7 today in the perfect caliber- 30/06. It looked good and didn't look to have been fired much. Anybody have one and some insight on how accurate they are? My kid wants an '06 or 270 and I might surprise him at Christmas. Thanks. CB.

    AA 2700 powder

    I need to replace some WW 760 stolen last fall, and the closest I can see for a replacement is AA 2700. Has anyone used and/or loaded with this ball propellant? The price is less than the WW powder, but I don't know anybody that has used this. Thanks in advance. CB.

    Littleton drippers

    After 6 weeks of waiting my Littleton showed up yesterday. There is no instruction booklet, and the drippers have very tiny holes in them; they look like #9 instead of the #6s I ordered. Does anyone know the size of the orifices for #6 shot? If they are a standard drill size I'll enlarge them...

If you have homeowners insurance through Foremost Insurance Group headquartered in Grand Rapids, MI, you may want to contact your agent and check to be sure your coverage extends to your reloading equipment, tools, and components. I'm currently...

    I might make it till spring

    I think I'll make it through the white season coming. Went to the bi-annual gunshow today. I found almost everything I needed, and got a couple of deals too. AAAAAHHHHH I feel better! Now all I have to do is put a couple deer in the freezer, and life will be good. Maybe the ire of Old Man Winter...

    How much should it cost?

    About how much should it cost me to have my stock Browning A5 barrel converted to screw in Hastings chokes? I realize that most things are location driven, but I could use a ballpark figure to know what most smiths would charge for this work. Thanks in advance. CB.

    12 Gauge Slug Data

    A friend brought by a Lee slug mould so I can cast him up some slugs and find an accurate load for both of us to use. Looking at some of the powder charges the enclosed data lists sure look awful heavy- like 49.0 gr. of Blue Dot with the 1 oz. slug. Has anyone used this data and/or this load? I...

    Threads on Remingtons

    I would like to know if the barrel threads on a Remington M788 and a M700 are the same diameter and pitch. Eventually my son is going to want a larger caliber rifle and I thought I would be able to rebarrel his 788 into a .308 or 7mm/08. Gunparts Corp offers barrels, but they never seem to have...

    Pittman/Robertson funds

    Just out of curiousity, has anyone asked any of the current crop of candidates including HRC about the money that came up missing during her husband's administration? Seems I recall some higherups taking jaunts to the Carribean with funds from Pittman. Any calculations on how much less land and...
