    Problems scoping a No. 1

    It's chambered in 7x57 Mauser. I chose a Weaver Classic in a fixed 4 power. I bough the rifle used and it came with factory rings. One of the rings is what I will call off set. I've switched positions of the rings. Still i can't get the scope mounted in a rearward enough position for proper eye...

    ABs vs LRABs a question

    My build is heating up and I was going to have the throat cut to accommodate the 180 Berger loaded long but suddenly I start hearing about performance issues on game with the Berger. So now I've switched to LRAB. I have plenty of ABs on hand but no LRABs and cannot find any. Thus my question...

    Need your pet loads for the .280AI

    My barrel wasn't due til November but they had a cancellation so I lucked out and it's at my builder. It's a 26" Kreiger. Twist is 1:9 I will be loading Berger VLD Hunting bullets. It will be throated so that I can load long to maximize powder capacity. I'm looking for max loads and velocities...

    Howdy fellers, the .280AI project is still on go

    Seems there is no builder in my area i feel comfortable with. But I did find an old school guy in TN. Plus a donor action, a real McCoy Mauser 98. I've settled on barrel maker, (Kreiger), and length, (26") and twist, (1:9) Trigger, (Timney, unless Shilen makes one for the 98). Her's where I...

    The .280 AI

    I've got a line on a used Ruger 77 at my LGS. I've had good luck off the used rack, but that's usually magnums. My thinking has been they were probably shot very little. And so far I've been right. But an AI has me thinking the guy was a shooter so I'm not as comfortable. Also, I'm just sure I...

    Scope selection help

    Okay, I'm gonna lay out my conundrum. On my 8mm RM I mounted a Burris 4.5x14 E1. It s got the dots and all and I like it but the O-bell is 42. Which I did not notice when I ordered it. Which means I had to scoot it farther forward than I'd like for optimum eye relief. If the eye relief is where...

    Gun smith shortage?

    Mods, not sure if this is the proper forum but the topic was prompted by work I need done on a couple of rifles but move it if you see fit. In any event, I used the same gun smith for many years. But he's gone now. My back up guy does good work at reasonable prices but he's been going down hill...
