Don't known why I am drawn to the BLR, but can never stop thinking I need one.
There was a take down 358 BLR for sale
locally a few years ago, I looked at the ad several times, but just never followed through. What a wrong decision that was.
There is another pistol gripped take down 308...
I had my gunsmith spin a 6.5 CM barrel onto a Sako long action and re chamber to a 6.5-284 Norma set to accept OAL up to 3.228 inches.
Most of the loading data has tested OAL at 2.98 inches. I have been seating to 3.15 for AB 140grs and 3.17 for Barnes 127 LRX.
I am finding that my...
I had a Sako model 85 in 270 Win in the back of the safe Buddy had a Tikka barrel, stainless, fluted in 6.5 CM .
Took them to my local gunsmith and had the 6.5 CM re-chambered to a 6.5-284 Norma with a long throat and cut and thread to 20 inches.
The tikka barrel threads are the same a...
JD. I have one that I don't use and selling it locally. If you might be interested in a very lightly used one (probably 50 - 223 cases trimmed), shoot me a PM

Word from my Nosler contact is 2025 will be a good year for heavy for caliber 6mm bullets.
My 6mm CM really shoots the 107 Sierra BTHP with H-4381SC. Not the fastest load, but little groups.
Bought this from Amazon
Added a chamber/bore guide to have it blow right into chamber area
Subsequentially, have painted it red to serve as a chamber flag
Moves a lot of air, is rechargeable and easily last a range session. Cools chamber, barrel and suppressor
One of the Nosler marketing guys shoots at the rifle club I belong to. Bought a rifle from him in the past. Chatted with him a few weeks ago at the range.
Sounds like I need to put a bug in his ear !!!!
With the 6mm Creedmoor seeing more and more popularity, time for Nosler to up their hunting bullet options.
100 gr Partition - probably the best choice currently
How about a 105 to 108 gr ballistic tip? I don't mind some fragmentation.

The peep sight really helps me.
This was a 6 inch sticker dot at 100 yds with 3 shots. Then I knocked over 4 steel rams at 110 yds and feeling good.
Season opening Saturday. Snowing in the cascades so getting excited.
Been playing around with a 6 ARC for the past couple months. Started with a Ruger American with a 16 inch barrel and now have moved to a Howa Mini action with a 22 inch barrel.
Mostly shot ELD-X's with a few 90 gr AB here and there.
The short barrel Ruger was getting 2650 fps with the 103's...
I just installed a Lyman peep sight on my Great Plains rifle. Roughly sighted in using the iron sites. Will head to the range tomorrow to fine tune.
90grs Triple 7 FFFg with a PRB gives 1815 fps. And a small SD.

Season starts the week of Thanksgiving !!!!
