If this is your first time, practice first. Get a smooth piece of steel with angles and contours, apply your release agent, then epoxy it to/into something. You'll get a feel for how much force is required to get it loose. Some don't recommend doing a full action bed job in one step - maybe 2...

Yes, that load should work well. I've bagged two antelope, several deer and a large cow elk (450 yards) with this rifle and Nosler's 140BT. All one-shot kills. Hoping for a shot at the wolves.... :)

A couple of years ago, not far from where I'm sitting, an emboldened pack of wolves decided to include horses in their diet. A man's prize quarter horse was run through a fence and then attacked by the wolves. The owner heard the commotion and panicked scream by his horse. He wasn't able to...

You mentioned your #1 has a Douglas barrel. I once owned a #1 in 25-06 back in the early 1990s that I bought used, which I wanted for use as an antelope rifle. They are cool looking and there's a lot to like in the #1, and some that I didn't like. For one, the barrel on mine had an oversize bore...

I finally got around to a range day with the 7RM. After all the recommendations here for RL22, and especially NoelW's work with RL22 and Nosler's 140CT for the 7RM, I decided to give it a try. The rifle shot its smallest group ever using Noel's same exact load. Thanks Noel! I shot a bracket...

Now's the time to speak out. You'll pay for the wolf introduction, then you'll lose the game. Ranchers will be compensated for as long as it takes to get the infestation beyond the point of no return, then cows, sheep, horses and pets will be on the menu without compensation. BT

Simply awesome... Kinda dispels my instinct about seating close to the lands. BT

I saw a link to SnipersHide about the 6.5 Saum mentioned in another thread here. See post #225 in the following thread link. http://forum.snipershide.com/snipers-hi ... aum-5.html There's a discussion about pressure and barrel life that I found interesting. Post #225 summarizes it pretty well...

Whenever I'm engaged in a discussion about the push for new gun laws, I remind whomever that the Dems lost both houses of Congress in 1994 because of the first assault weapons ban. Saying that usually shuts up even the most ardent anti-gun lib, without even discussing the proposed law.

Wish I hadn't re-checked the bullet/land measurement... Ignorance is bliss, in this case. Makes me think that anyone looking at a used rifle should have the leade checked with a borescope before plunking down the bux. The reality is that it took 20 years to shoot 2,000 rounds (90% of those in...

As an interesting side-note, the Forest Service and Montana FWP are using trail cameras to catch off-roaders who travel on closed trails. The cameras send the offender images via cell towers to a central office, and in theory, the LEO will greet them at the trailhead. I know of a couple of...

I could not locate a magazine round limit restriction or a limitation on lighted reticles in scopes. It used to be that a lighted reticle of any sort and removable magazines having more than 5 rounds were illegal. Apparently no longer. Lighted reticles on bowsights and trail cameras remain...

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our barrels. I've read quite a lot about barrel life. Most say this or that cartridge will produce X-hundreds or thousands of rounds of accuracy life or something similar. In actuality, each and every shot erodes molecules of barrel steel...

Thanks for the info! The problem comes from the fact that most hunters just don't shoot enough to get good and stay good. A magnum can make the problem worse because of recoil sensitivity. A 30-06 and a 7RM have almost the exact same recoil. Anyone who can handle an 06 can handle a 7RM equally...

Good one Mike! Liberals simply don't understand - can't comprehend the oaths they take.

It was not my intention to suggest Obama be impeached (though who knows where this'll lead), but rather to underscore the seriousness of the crime. That said, it gets worse. IRS personnel were also feeding the left-wing organization Propublica.org information gleened from the confidential and...

A note of caution when using Warne rings. I've discovered that I need to be a little careful when tightening the two upper scope ring screws when installing scopes with magnification power rings or focus rings like that used by SWFA. Apparently, tightening ring screws on just one side of the...

What's the definition of the word "irony"? “What’s blocking us right now is a sort of hyper-partisanship in Washington that I was, frankly, hoping to overcome in 2008,” Obama said at a recent fundraiser. Then we find out that hyper-partisanship was the standard operating procedure at the IRS...

I've used small rifle primers for loading the 357 magnum. Pretty mild loads, but the S&W didn't seem to care. Fired primers look the same as small pistol primers.

Thanks guys. You're right, it is a scope for the wide open. On my 223 (with its original Leupold 4-12x variable), which has spent a lot of time at the range, on the Pdog towns and mountain ground squirrel slopes, I've never used any magnification but 12x on the 100+ yard range or in the field...
