Happy New Year everyone! I went to bed at 2300hrs and left the wife who had napped most of the evening to bring in the New Year. Had to get an MRI with Resolution in the morning and my stomach wasn't having any of the side effects so I was washed out. Hopefully the day will be better, so I can...

Very nice. I only have 2 rifles still in the factory wood, but both have had extensive bedding jobs to stabilize the wood to maintain accuracy in them. The new carbon poly stocks with a full metal bedding block will usually take a pig's ear accurate rifle and turn it into a very consistent shooter.

Very nice JD, you have to love the medium bore calibers, 358 and up, they just simply work on whatever you shoot with them and surprisingly very accurate also.

Very Nice, nothing like the real thing.

I thought you would like it. The price didn't look too out of line for a bronze sculpture, but then I'm not an art expert.

Saw this in a flea market, and the first thing it reminded me of was Salmon Chaser fishing in Alaska.

Well, it was pre-Christmas, but I guess it will qualify. I was given a MEC 76 12ga shotshell reloader and a MEC 600 Jr single stage reloading press which I haven't checked out and could be for 10ga. since I have a box that was marked as a 10ga. conversion kit that came along with a bunch of...

Merry Christmas to all the members of the forum and their families. May all have peace, and happiness threw the new year.

Great picture Guy. The Robins left here a month ago.

Merry Christmas one and all plus Happy New Year

Great write up Dan and working through the problem. Though not the same style Model 77 mine is a tang safety and Ruger sent out a replacement trigger spring claiming that the original would cause a lighter than normal trigger pull and offered free replacement springs to anyone who owned one of...

Great to hear they are still getting it done guys. I miss my Chocolate Lab, and these pictures and stories make want to get another but now I'm on the other side and I couldn't keep up with a young dog, so I just look at your pictures and read your stories.

Sorry to hear of your sister's loss.

I've seen that with a 30-06 and the old win 150gr Silver Tips. The deer I've killed with my 257 Roberts were with the Hornady 115 Round nose bullet which was very similar to the Rem core Loc. Turn the insides into jelly and some blood shot meat. My barrel calls for the heavy for caliber bullets...

Well, I stuck my neck out and started taking the press apart to find out what was causing it to bind after reading all the manuals and talking to a MEC tech on the phone, whose response was to bend the cane which actuates the grabber case sizer. On the newer presses the top of the cane has a...

If I didn't already have a 338Win I might have given it a lot of thought.

Hi Jim, PM sent.

I had 2 and now one is a 35 Whelen AI and this one would become a 338-06 AI if I were to buy it.;)

Thanks Jim I'll email them to you. Just to let you know I call MEC and it seems the machine is one of the first model 76 they made in 1976. The problem stems from the actuator rod for the grabber. T rod in question has a 45degree bend on the top which contacts a roller that lifts the rod back up...

Jim this one seems to have a tight spot with the actuation rod in the back and the roller on the operating handle. Sometimes it will bind and sometimes it won't. I don't know if it is supposed to or not or if a piece of lead shot has worked in behind it is causing the end of the rod to bind on...
