Old post, but my input. I have had a pair of Zeiss 10x42 HD. Pros: I really like the glass. Great warranty, although work on these is done in Germany and takes longer Cons: when using a chest rig to carry them, the focal point changes after a few minutes of hiking. You have to re-focus each...

How do the Nosler BT to in the 45-70? Similar to the older partitions?

Had a Marlin 45-70 guide gun for years. Was a nice rifle, but it but was never quite right. Tried 2.5 X scout scope, tried 2-7 rifle scope, already had XS sights, but never was all I wanted it to be . Found a local deal on another guide gun and bought it. Used this rifle as a base and...

Marlin lever. Second year production from the mid 1970s.

Loading some 45-70 with Oregon Trail 350 & 405 cast bullets Been using RL-7 (Guy's load of 40 gr and some hotter). Lots of people reference using 25-26 gr of 2400. But I can't find published min and max powder charges for this powder. Anyone have a reference?

I have been shooting 70gr Noslers. Just bought 500 more. 70gr bullet at 3000 FPS Agree, fun rifle. Accurate without any recoil

Hoping to come back this year. Wanting a snowy camp. First time I went, cold (15) and snowy. Lots of deer. Last time I came several years ago, I was hiking it a long sleeve shirt.

You I surfed YouTube last night, ordered an extractor from Midway. The bolt face is based upon a 223. I am impressed with the 6x45. Very mild recoil, 70 gr bullets at 3050 FPS. Will take to central Oregon next month and chase coyotes.

Ordered a replacement Thanks

Did that.....seems to function fine. Here is a link to a video https://imgur.com/a/Rx2MLXH I shot probably 30 rounds through it today and only 4 of the earlier rounds ejected when I ran the bolt fast. All the others were like shown in the video.

I bought a used Rem 700 SPS. Rifle was originally a 223 but had a Shilen barrel placed in 6mm. Shoots great but.....brass extracts but does not eject. Extractor leaves brass inside the mag well (bdl) Are the Ben great ejectors that are meant to do this or is the a ejector problem?

I was looking at the Savage catalog yesterday. Savage now has an Accufit stock that has the same aluminum frame in the stock but also includes adjustable length and comb. Also shows 280AI as a caliber choice. Although no 280AI available yet.

RL-22

I have an Accustocked 6.5-284 N weather warrior. Stock is much more rigid than other Savage stocks I have owned. Rifle shoots very well. Savage seems to have created a flood of different price point rifles (as has Ruger, etc). Guess you pick where you want to be. That being said, seems...

Front and rear screws at 30 lbs. Center at 10 lbs. Link to picture: https://imgur.com/a/XRBEABr

Thanks for the input. Will post a pic later tonight

Never really been a Winchester person. Had a couple, sold them, but just picked up a M70 Featherweight in 7mm-08. Nice rifle with a 2 piece bottom and controlled feed. Came with Way too big a scope, removed that and installed a Leupold 2.5-8. Feels MUCH better. Took the stock off for...

I have a Sako 85, so just ensuring the Nosler data is for modern rifles. Will also call them today

Anyone know what pressure the Nosler 6.5 Swede data is loaded to? Thanks

What do people use? Collet puller or the RCBS hammer? My RCBS hammer broke, so figuring what to buy. Seems the RCBS deforms the tips.
