When I first got married 10 years ago it was alot easier before the kids to make rifle purchases. I wanted something new and I would just tell her to load up we were going to the coach purse store to get whatever she wanted. She would just say oh you want a new gun and jump in the truck...

I think you first need to find out what you didn't like about the 7-08 before you decide. Was it not enough speed, to heavy, recoil vs speed? I would be inclined to say 260 remington. It isn't flashy or all that speedy but it kills well, very light, no recoil and more importantly gets you in...

Thanks Drmike you have me going down the winchester 70 road at full speed this will be my third and just bought and fired the first one about six months ago. The rifle looks pretty much exactly like this one with no scope but half the price...

Well I went back and cut a deal on it. He wouldn't come down on the price but gave me two boxes of ammo with it (I guess he didn't have a lot of demand for the 458 ammo in his shop :lol: ). It is a super express and was in perfect like new condition. It did have the old red winchester pad, I...

I am going to try to get by there tomorrow. I have looked on gunbroker and it seems to resemble the 458 super express more than the safari express. It is definitely a CRF and has monte carlo stock. Does that change any opinions on the purchase?? The more I read the more confused I get. It...

It is a controlled round feed New Haven model with red pad. It has safari express on the bottom plate and has a very unusual barrel band. It isn't really a band but looks like the stud is machined on the barrel itself. It also seems to have a matte receiver with a more polished barrel but I...

I have been looking for a 375H&H to add to the upper end of my battery and stumbled across this M70 at a pawn shop today. I have a M70 300 WM and a 45-70 Guide Gun and don't consider either one to be all that objectionable to shoot but from what I gather this is a significant step up from...

So who here has experience with this old pastime. I wasn't really interested in it until I started doing more and more of my own work on my guns and lately have been fondling the old mausers that are just about everywhere you look. Then the other day I happened onto an old 1909 Argentine...

I have a 260 Remington LSS Mountain Rifle who is properly clothed and wishes to enter!! Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Then new winchesters are amazing. I used to be a remington man until I bought a sporter in 300 win mag and just picked up a stainless featherweight in 270 last week. The 300 win mag is showing a lot of promise with 165 accubonds. I can't wait to get the 270 shooting. I wanted an extreme...

The 6.5 wsm is very interesting to me as well. I have been thinking hard about an M70 in a step brother 6.5 Rem Mag or a 6.5-06.

I went back and talked them down to $650 but I still couldn't pull the trigger. It had a black extractor but the face looked like it had been machined with a new contour. I was wondering if it was so they could close the rifle on a round instead of having to feed them up from the magazine...

I found the stain concentrate. It is called "Transtint" Medium Brown; It is only 2 oz for $19 but judging from what I used you could easily do 15 stocks with it depending on how dark you want them. I have never been able to stain anything that turned out well, but after doing it this way I...

Any experience with this? I found a 264 win mag crf model 70 with a boss. I had a Boss on my very first rifle a 7mag A bolt. If you tinkered with it enough it would make any bullet combination a shooter. This was before I did any reloading so wouldn't know how it would affect it. I think...

One other tip, finish stripper melts plastic. I had to buy a new grip cap because the original ended up as a pile of gooo. I still need to do the forend. It was in great shape but the stock was trashed, cloudy, oil stained and beat up. I just thought I would just give it a try because it...

I just refinished a remington 1100 stock and I used the birchwood casey filler/sealer and tru oil. I had a gunsmith give the tip on using a different stain. He told me to go to woodcrafters and buy a bottle concentrated stain. It is like a 10 oz bottle of stain and it is 20$ but you mix a few...

I use the Lee trimmers that you chuck in a cordless drill. It works really well and fast, but I think I am going to upgrade to the forster classic trimmer in the near future.

Has anyone use both the new Barnes loaded ammo and the Nosler Custom ammo?? I would be using it for a 270, Probably 130 grain TTSX in Barnes and 130 grain Accubond in Nosler. I have experience with the accubond in 30-06, .260 and 300 win and the TSX as well in .260 and all were positive. If...

I appreciate the advice. Money is not a real problem anymore from a standpoint I have certain amount of money that goes to this my only hobby so if I don't spend it on the reloading equipment it will be on another gun I probably don't have time to reload for or shoot. I have a 2 1/2 year old...

I was looking at getting a used press to go along with my main press which is rcbs rockchucker supreme just to do some odds and ends and make things a little easier maybe do some crimping or decapping, etc. only with the secondary press. I here all the talk on here and the reloading equipment...
