I've got a problem child. The reason I ask, I have a fairly expensive 270 that from the get go coppered up more than my other rifles. Moreover, it doesn't shoot as well as others have that I've talked to that have the same rifle. But, that for later. I took my Hawkeye tonight and looked at the...

I am the happy recipient of about 200 old style Nosler 7mm 140 gr Partition bullets. Why the old ones? They shoot the lights out in my M70 7x57. I had a box and a half of the old ones and was astonished how well they shot so, I went looking for more. It seems some fellows hoarded these back and...

I remember many moons ago I wanted to get a Remington 700 in 6mm but never did. What happened to that caliber, you seldom see any rifles for it anymore? Maybe I need to get out more.

I just recently bought a Hawkeye bore scope with the 45 degree attachment and wish I had bought one years ago. Concerned about the barrel on my M70 270 was the primary reason for getting it and after I got the barrel as clean as it was going to be I ran the probe down the barrel. Now, I'm a...

I'm giving serious thought to a M70 Super Grade 375 H&H. Those that have this caliber what would you liken the recoil to...45-70, 35 Whelen or maybe the 300 Bee Magnum? I've sit at the bench and fired 30-40 rounds from the Browning 1885 BPCR 45-70 and wondered if it may be comparable.

I have about 20 twice fired 270 cases that were shot in a Vanguard. Last night I FL sized them as I was going to use them in a M70...they won't fit. The bolt will not close on a FL sized case and it makes no sense. I checked the OAL and it was within specs. I even tried another die, the Redding...

Of all the various pistols I've owned, sold and traded over the years, I haven't run across any that have been more reliable year after year regardless the ammo or the shape of the bullet than the 3rd Generation S&W pistols. I bought a 4506 back around 1990-91 and it has never failed to feed...

I just got back from the range and wanted to share some groups I got with this rifle several hours ago. I was quite pleased with them and wish I had bought at least a dozen of the older style Nosler 140 gr PT bullets. The actually gave me some of the best groups I got today. The top group is...

I can't believe they discontinued the Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 scope. I just bought one months ago and thought of another for my potential upcoming 6BR only to find tonight they've been discontinued...bummer. That's a fine scope and tracks superbly. It doesn't make sense. Well, time to do a...

Any Sako lovers in the house today? I bought this Sako Vixen L461 with absolutely no regrets. It's been one of the top three most accurate rifles I've ever owned. Slick action, beautiful stock and superbly accurate with most any powder or bullet weight...it does favor the 52 gr Berger a little...

I don't think I've asked this before but with what all has been going on around here it's possible. I have a Rem 700 classic 35 Whelen and the mould I ordered to shoot some cast bullets came during my stay in the hospital. It's an Accurate Moulds mould with two different weights, one a 210 gr...

If anyone is interested in seeing Roger Biesen and Brad O'Connor and some of Biesen's work and the 375 H&H giveaway at the JOC Day in ID last month here's the link. I would have loved to have been there. http://www.jack-oconnor.org/JOCForum/vi ... p=387#p387

I just bought a rifle that has a Weaver K4 "Micro Trac" and so far I can't seem to get it in focus. If I focus so the reticle is sharp nothing at a distance is in focus. I've turned it in and out some eight turns to no avail. I can't seem to get both reticle and objects at 75-150 yards in focus...

As some know I just recently got a Remington 700 35 Whelen. I use the Hornady Case Length Gauge and bullet comparator to determine the length I can seat a bullet and usually go with .020" deeper than the reading I get with the Case Length Gauge and Comparator. That initial reading was 2.890" to...

I went by the dealer today and picked up the Remington 700 Classic in the marvelous 35 Whelen. It was actually better looking than the photos on the website showed. In fact, it looks like it has barely been used at all...most pleased. The bore looked as new and so did the Weaver 4X that came...

Anyone shed some light on Nosler's Model 48 Heritage rifle? There's some good calibers including the 35 Whelen but in scrolling down to see the estimated delivery date each one was "Awaiting Update". I couldn't discern if they were available or not. http://shop.nosler.com/nosler-custom-ri ...

I thought I'd share this experience my younger brother and I had back around 1970. When I lived in NC many moons ago I had scouted out an area several times for signs of Whitetail activity and found brush marks on several trees and knew they were in the area. I took my 18 year old brother with...

At the recommendation and prompting of DrMike and a couple others, I succumbed to the lure of the 35 Whelen and bought a Remington Classic today. The first one I inquired about had a Burris 1 3/4 X 5 compact scope but, when I inquired about the scope he told me the front lens looked like someone...

I thought it rather unusual that Lee doesn't make a collet die for the 35 Whelen. Having just recently gotten interested in this caliber and having good luck with Lee's collet die I went hunting for one and discovered that don't make it...bummer. Looks like its back to RCBS or Redding for dies...

I'm having a little problem with some scope mounts. I have the Leupold 2-piece DD mounts and DD rings. I mounted the front mount and then when mounted the rear, the taller of the two, the screws won't tighten, especially the front one it just keeps turning. I looked at all the screws and they...
