well why didn't I think of that? Ya use the ones we have instead of building more and using them less? We all could probably have more fun, and not cost us more to do it!
Excellent idea, enjoy Vince, and think of the memories it would bring, over another session in the same places and shops...
One piece or two piece, any difference in height should be addressed in the mounts, not the rings. Same with one piece rings and bases, the obvious difference there is the integration of the ring and base in one part, even two piece. No different than the XP-100 or 600 Mohawk, none of mine use...
The last component is here, my last 2025 rig will be underway next week! Yes, pillars sling studs, and recoil pad included, 18.0 ounces, not 1.8 pounds! The 338/06 AI is about to be reality!
who knows with weatherby? Any correct action I have ever delt with, and that is dozens of models and makes from single shots and break actions, to repeaters and bolt actions even semi autos, Use a base made for them, but the rings are always identical front and back! If you need bastard ring...
Only for the LUCKY ONES! But I agree, we all mature to different skills as we age, but deteriorate at others.
Getting old has it's rewards, it's up to the individual to use those benefits wisely! Sounds like this Wayne ain't figured it out yet, and sounds like he he keeps doing his thing at...
I lucked out and called Brux right after I ordered the reamer to see how far out they were running .338 barrels, he said we're setting up today to start running them next week. So I had the barrel in two weeks. I would have checked on Hart or Shilen if they would have been months out, just...
1-10 22", I would lean more to 20" than I would 24", but for me the 22" would be it's happy place in this caliber on this short a case. with the 22' I don't see much gain in 24" ballistics, and also would not expect much from 22" going to 20", I'd ride the middle of the rode for a sweeter...
Exactly Ernie, amazing how some people expect every other person to agree with them. It is also why I leave the religion and politics out of the shooting sports. I am here to learn and help others that share my interests in shooting. I refuse to expect them to run out and shoot or or do as I do...
I agree on the 3 months. Did not get in on the sale, but the 24th of Dec. I made my order, with a LA 700 St.St. Standard bolt face, along with the Blackrock stock, new mottom metal follower mag bx and spring, as well as the reamer and the go gauge. i got the mag box and follower immediately. I...
Welcome Back, I'm new here but been doing this for over half a century.
I have 3 Meopta scopes, 2 Optika 6 and one Optika 5, I love them. Meopta makes Zeiss scopes, for sure the Conquest line, and I'm prety sure their Meostar line is the same as the higher priced Divari series? Not sure but I...
10 to 20 minutes, that includes removing my scope and reinstalling it and back into the stock. I recommend a sharp shooter supply barrel nut wrench, it has each type of the barrel nuts covered, one on each end, and any descent barrel vice. I set my headspace up with a resized empty brass using...
not really shivering. It wasn't ideal but things were melting, and starting to now make mud, don't know which I hate more, the frozen tundra, or the slightly warmer playing in the mud?
But Thanks I took my time and was pretty solid, plus with this trigger Fred made for this gun, it makes...
Finally, a little windy, but above freezing got me out for a second time in midday high 30's. I'm still waiting on my sizing bushings for the 287" loaded diameter necks. Right now I'm using the Forester FL that sizes the necks with no inside colet, to 279". So then I have to run them thru my...
Hope you get those ticked off your bucket list! The AI version of the 250 is like the &x57 and 257, for much the same reason.
I new how good this Roberts cartridge was the first time I built one 30 year ago, even before I made it an Ackley. I also had 223, 22-250, 7x57, 30-06, and soon will...
It's been nearly 30 years since I built me first 257 AI, and a week ago I took possession of my second. I have built 2 6mm Rem. AI in that time, which is on the same case, and my favorite in these calibers. Both about as efficient as you can get for the caliber. But I found the 257 AI was just...
Those are great camo paint jobs. I used the Krylon on a couple rigg's years ago, just cleared them with some clear Krylon, I called this one Steelhead on a hard chrome 580 Remington Custom
I used this one on a couple varmint rigs. Called it Salmon
This one I spray bombed with Kustom Colors...
New to me means just that. It might be a used rifle, action or a new in the box. But however I get it, it will be built my way to mean new to me.
The last new gun in the box I bought was a Savage Axis in 223 youth stock in Muddy Girl camo, I never fired a round in it till I got it setup my...
