It is hard to choice because they are all winners, but I'm leaning toward building a 260 Remington Ackley Improved. Why? Because I want one!

I agree! Howie, your calls look amazing. You seem to not only build them but understand them in depth. Have you ever built a call that you just weren't happy with? I believe that I may need to own one of your calls going forward. Now the big decision, which will it be!

Getting issued an M14 was my introduction, and will always have a soft spot for it. If it wasn't a great cartridge it would not have been used to parent so many others.

A very cool picture regardless if it includes an empty case or not.

Finding a commercial series 70 isn't that easy anymore, and I already have the 80.

It has been a long time since I've seen a .224 Weatherby. I always thought that it looked interesting. Good luck with your project and please continue to share as you go through the build.

Two of the best times in your life, sharing a PBJ and the arrival of a grandchild.

Maybe if I were shooting at extreme ranges all this might be relevant, but where I hunt it is rare to get a shot at predators beyond 300 yards. Even when we go prairie dog hunting/shooting I'm shooting a .22-250 (H380), .222 Remington (IMR4198), or .17 Remington (W760) with loads that were...

I can relate to this. In the 1950s when I started shooting I had not even heard of ear protection. It wasn't until I started shooting trap and skeet that I saw people using ear protection and got my first set of ear plugs. We still didn't use anything while hunting. I'm sure this is why I'm...

Agreed!

Have any of you went through the process of converting a Colt 1911 or clone with a series 80 trigger to a series 70 trigger? If you did, whos components/parts did you use and in reality what did it get you? From the YOUTUBE videos that I've watched it looks like an easy conversion.

I love shooting revolvers and own Smiths in .41 Remington Magnum and .45 ACP and a Ruger in .357 Magnum. Someday I may add another Smith in .45 Colt. I had also looked into purchasing a Rock Island Armory in .22 Magnum, but too many bad reviews. I carry a Kimber Ultra Carry II in .45ACP, but If...

Welcome! I also shoot a 338-06 Ackley Improved and will be interested in how your project comes together. I believe you will like it as you would have a .35 Whelen or .35 Whelen Ackley too. Please post some pictures when you complete the build.

I had contacted the factory about a new Encore/Pro-Hunter frame. They told me that they are planning to make them available again, but could not give me a target date. That was last fall.

The 6m/m Remington/.244 Remington is equal to or better in everyway to a .243 Winchester. It seems that it has been a forgotten cartridge. We need to see more positive articles about it, and not these so so articles that eventually swing to talking about a .243 Win. I've thought about building a...

Years ago I experienced this problem. It was with military brass reformed to .243 Winchester. I'm sure my problem was due to lack of knowledge on my part at the time. In those days I thought brass was brass and didn't understand the differences in case capacity, neck thickness, etc. After two...

There are a lot of great .308 caliber magnums, but the .300 Winchester Magnum has to rank high among the favorites. If I ever shoot the barrel out of my 7m/m Remington Magnum it will be re-barreled to a 300 Win Mag.

I feel so sorry for Catherine and she is in our prayers. I live in the country and the closest town is 3 miles away. The population is 430 and it has a Post Office, a restaurant, fire station, a grade school (K-6), and a gas station (locally known as "The Mall". The county provides police...

Videos like this one drive me insane.

I didn't know that EuroOptics had a western location. All my dealings with them has come from their Pennsylvania location. I've gotten good service from them and no complaints on the products.
