I'm starting the process of saving up for a Henry Side Gate in 45-70. I'm looking at the model with the brass receiver. My one requirement is that it has to come from the Rice Lake factory. Does anyone have any information on these rifles and how they shoot? I would really like to shoot cast...

I'm a 30-06 guy from day #1 of hunting. I will always have a 30-06 in the safe!!!! (or more than 1)

After hunting season last year, my dad left his Rem 700 Mnt Rifle with me to clean. (I think it was his way of saying here is my rifle, I want you to have it). After I got it cleaned, I wanted to see if I could find a load for it. Up to this point he used Federal Fusion ammo with good...

I've been invited to apply/hunt private land in CO for antelope during the muzzleloader season. It is unit 116-117. The connection said that there are antelope, but not the numbers like WY? With this being said, has anyone hunted or been in the area near the KS boarder north of I-70 and seen...

For my 7-08 project, I'm looking at a Grayboe stock. Just wondering if anyone has used on and how they like them.

Update-I got the action and barrel assembled this weekend and it is all ready to go. Just need to order a stock/rings/bases and put the trigger in when the mailman drops it off.

I'm guessing 110 AccuBonds as well. SPS had them on sale a few weeks ago so Guy might have been shopping. I use them in my 25-06 and they smack the heck out of deer.

My local smith called and got it all fixed up. He said the action threads were actually a touch undersize and the tap cleaned it up. So for $80, it is ready for me to headspace and move forward.

I contacted the seller and he said there is no way he sent the wrong barrel and that my action is the issue. I handed it off to a local smith today to look at and hopefully clean up. His thoughts were that if he ran a tap and die over all the threads, I would be back in business. I will keep...

It was 28 degrees out so that might be why it was a little slower. My chrono has been accurate up to date and the 7wsm rounds I fired were showing me that the chrono was still working.

I tried some IMR4350 with some 165 hot cors this weekend and got really low speeds. 57.4-2612/57.7-2592/58-2625. I didn't have pressure signs. Woud you keep climbing or switch to something else? I have some RL22 and H4350. Thanks

ShadeTree, is correct, I attempted to thread the barrel. I had the barrel in the vice, started the action with the wrench. I'm guessing I made 3-5 spins with the wrench and started hearing/feeling something wrong, so I backed it off and found the damaged threads on the barrel. After that, I...

I have the order recipt and it is Rem700. I called and tolk them what I had for a donar rifle and did the order over the phone.

Let's say a guy ordered a Remage barrel and after attempting to put it on a Rem 700 action the barrel threads are now messed up. After researching and talking to a gunsmith it is determinted that a Savage barrel was shipped. The barrel was going on with some resistance then suddenly became...

Thanks for the link Guy. I'm going to wait on NM for when I retire. I need to stick a little closer to WI due to work and travel times.

Does anyone have an outfitter for elk in Montana that they would recommend? Thanks

I'm looking for 7-08 brass and found some PRVI in stock. Just wondering if this is good stuff?

I have the wrenches already. I'm looking at a Criterion 7-08 barrel. They have a 24", 1:9 twist sporter barrels in stock.

I have a Rem 700 I would like to rebarrel to 7-08. I have most of the tools to put on a prechambered screw on barrel. At the end of the day, it would be about $600 to get a 22" barrel on the action if I did it myself. I could also send it to a respectable company and have them spin on a new...

I'm sure it was bought prior to 1985-1990.
