Hey all- looking for experiece or resources re: repair of a Burris for a friend. The friend shoots competitively and would like to use a Burris fixed power scope on his competition rifle in an effort to keep him under a weight limit for his class VS a variable power unit. Unfortunately, the...

Those of you who have heard me complain about this before, know how I feel about the "slugs only area's where I have been hunting for the last 30+ years. Interesting that in this news story they do not describe it as a "safety factor". FINALLY.... Still I have no faith in St Paul. Rumor has...

Just obtained a "predator" licsence for back home in SD. Nothing like paying non-resident prices for the privilege to carry a rifle in pursuit of coyotes, Jacks, (who's seen one in the last 30 yerars?), Crows and GOPHERS, :eek:to make you appreciate where you grew up. ;). I'm willing, but it...

Bout as scarce as unicorn manure. Would like to find some for a friend ( the ammo that is...) . Any sightings? CL

Writing briefly to share about the passing of my wifes uncle. John went home to be with his Lord about a week ago. Back about 1987 I asked him to help me look for a rifle, as I wanted something in .25 cal and they were a lot more common back home in SD. He knew I needed something with minimal...

Nosler Trophy Grade .300 Winchester Magnum 200 Gr, 20 Rounds Original Price $119.99 Sale Price $92.99 Per Round $4.65

Resizing some cases a while back, and decided to experiment. The attached photo shows a sharpie marked case that I ran into the sizing die, adjusting down in 1/4 turns until I got thr result you see. Looks to me Like this would be "Neck sized". You can see the sharpie removed on the neck and...

So... I found a pound of Hogdon CFE 223. Load data is avaialable for Speer hot cores in 100gr and 87gr varieties. Hornady also lists loads for the 75gr V-max's both of wich I have available. Loads look pretty speedy. What I dont have is anything for 100gr BT's any body able to run a quick load...

I have had my share of issues, including broken rifle parts recently, and while things are looking up, I was looking at the fired reloads from my friends model 99 in 250- 3000 Savage and I noticed what looked to me to be "cratering" of the fired primers. Given my recent experiences I decided to...

I think this is the first box I've seen in at least 3 years. I box of 50 on the shelf was $26 with tax. Double what the last one cost me but I guess "unobtainium" is pricey. CL

So here's what the "back door politicians" are up to in St Paul. I suspect it is the same in many places, unfortunately. Sooner or later, if we cant find positive ways to fight stuff like this the uninformed and wrongly informed will find a way to take our sport away from us. Cant believe the...

I usually make one or two trips a year to a local Sportsmans Wharehouse, No football to keep me occupied on sunday anymore..... I did note a variety of loaded Nosler ammo on the shelf. Little to no bullets. A box of Nosler custom 180gr 300 WSM was priced at $109 and change..... CL

The header asks the question. If you were buying a Savage pre-fit, chambered barrel, would you buy a Shillen, knowing there are more expensive barrels? Anything else comparable in the $300 price range? CL

So - talked with my Smith this afternoon- he hasnt been able to find a bolt for my FN Mauser commercial bolt or action (no surprise) I havent either. He does have an Interarms "Mark X" 30-06 rifle for sale. In many ways this might be the way to go. I would get a theoretically good action and...

Hey all- I find myself looking to replace the Bolt body in my FN Belgian made Mauser. Ive looked at all the usual Google spots. Im not interested in a Military or reforged "bent" bolt. That limits me to old Browning,Weatherby, Herters or other imported actions. Any body have one or any leads...

Hey all- Have used this load for a long time. It is based on Dads old speer manual, (1964). Cant find any Nosler Data for this, closest is a 100 gr Speer. For taht Bullet I would be two full grains over Max. Here's the load: RP Case - 250-3000 Savage Primer - CCI 200 Bullet- 100 Gr BT...

Was cleaning out some old stuff this weekend and found this. Sorry the photo quality isnt better. Debating whether to keep this or pass it along....I havent seen this many Nosler bullets in years...(yes thats a jab). Afraid some day we will have to say, "yes- years ago we had all these...

Can anyone run the numbers on this load for me please? Im curios to see what this looks like: 6.5 mm Jap Norma cases 100 Gr Sierra HP 40 Gr. IMR 4064 CCI 200 Large Rifle BTW- info on the box for the original Norma 139 Gr soft point shows about 400 FPS slower than a similar load for the 6.5...

Specifically of course, for the 250 Savage. I know it can be done from a 22-250, but are there other cases? And if so is it just a matter of trial and error, or are there guide lines some where? Seems like there are cases out there for the 6.5 Creed... I probably wont do it, just because the...

Not to give a way the deal (although I guess I am arent I?) Optics Planet is running a deal on some Leupold stuff including a good price (seems to me any way) on The Ultimate Slam Model. Opinions on this model, how its different, Why its cheaper, is it worthwhile from real world experience would...
