    elevated box stands

    I like hooks to hang my backpack and other objects. I often find the shelves covered in mouse droppings.

    Ultrasonic Cleaner Suggestions?

    I use stainless media for brass, and ultrasonic cleaners for car parts, gun parts and other items. US is great for parts cleaning but just OK for brass unless you leave it in a long time.

    Weatherby Mark V Accumark

    Silly question - have you bedded a rifle before?

    Weatherby Mark V Accumark

    I would then bed the action. It's not much more work than just doing the recoil lug, and then it's done right. Accumarks are easy, as they are meant to be free floated, and the barrel channel is wide enough for some tape to center the barrel.

    Weatherby Mark V Accumark

    Accumarks usually have a bit of epoxy holding the recoil lug. However, I have seen improvements by doing a real bedding job.

    Top three firearm manufacturers

    Weatherby. I would have voted for Remington, but that company is on its 3rd recent life, and we have yet to determine if they're going to be any good. Unfortunately it really depends on when the rifle was made.

    Gobblers not Gobblin’

    I ran into hunters at every turn on Saturday, and only one hen. It will probably be better odds on a weekday. Very little gobbling as well.

    Tell me about your 7mm Weatherby magnum.

    26 inch factory barrels for all of these. I have a 24 inch custom which has shot 160AB factory loads at 3020fps. However, they no longer make those loads so my couple of boxes are hoarded for that rifle.

    Tell me about your 7mm Weatherby magnum.

    There was a guy on LRH looking for 270 WbyMag cases, should you want to sell. 7mm Wby cases are not difficult to find. As I detest the idea of reloading one round in another so close in size, if it were me I'd swap them. Then again, I probably have, um, too many 7mm Wby cases. The slow load is...

    Want to upgrade my chronograph

    I still have my Shooting Chrony Beta Master with all the accessories in case I ever need it, but sold my Magnetospeed. FYI, I use the iphone app exclusively to arm and trigger the LR.

    Want to upgrade my chronograph

    Labradar, external battery pack, JLK external trigger with magnetic mount. I also purchased a "sight" that mounts via the top screw of the Labradar to use instead of the tiny notch in the top of the unit. You can use the tabletop base or a tripod to hold the Labradar. Either works, but your...

    Let's talk freebore... Weatherby and others..

    Short answer, no. SAAMI specifications call for the freebore. As a SAAMI-compliant manufacturer Winchester would have included it just as Remington does in its Weatherby chamberings.

    Bragging about overpressure

    Or, his Chrony is way off. That's possible too. My 270 gets 3300fps using the 117 Hammer Hunter with MRP. I have a hard time believing his speeds are accurate. If they ARE accurate, that bolt must require a 2# hammer to open it.

    Opinions.....Weatherby

    The Weathermark is a "base" Weatherby, if the term even exists anymore. I suspect - based on past models - that the B&C stock on it might have aluminum only around the action screws, and not the full length aluminum. Their website doesn't say. Barrels are #1 or #2 contour unless you have a...

    What's so Special about the 270 Win?

    My first rifle at age 12 was a Remington 7400 in 30-06; I thought that the 270 wasn't big enough. At that age I wasn't thinking about recoil. As time went on one of my first bolt action rifles was a Vanguard in 270 Win. As I have played around with everything from 223s to 340 Wby over the years...

    elevated box stands

    I've wanted them to make them in wall sections so that I could assemble on site. So far none of the local guys located in the Muskegon/Fremont/west MI area is interested. I note that his website states he will build them in sections - that's great!

    elevated box stands

    Where did you get them? There are a couple of guys building them in our area, but the ones I've talked to won't do any modifications to them.

    6.8 Western

    I own several 270 Winchesters, and once had a 270 WSM. No hate for the 270 Win, that's for sure. One of mine goes out in the field every year. I disliked the rifle the 270 WSM was in, so sent that one along. #1 - The 6.8 Western also needs a longer-than-traditional magazine to fit the longer...
