Well i picked up a husqvarna 1600 30/06 with the 20.5” barrel. Thing appears to be mint with some pretty nice wood. I only paid $525 and has bushnell scope on it not sure if quality of the scope. I had a chance to buy one or two about 10 years ago and have always wanted one after passing on...

Well been looking for one of these for awhile. Finally snagged one couldn’t be too picky. It is in pretty good shape except for some decent size smooth rub marks on the barrel. Has anyone tried bead blasting their stainless barrel back to original finish?? Looks like you can buy and blaster and...

I would say overall I am fairly new to reloading starting the last 15 years. I have a couple of manuals namely the Barnes #4 and the Nosler #6. I have been prepping to start loading 308 Norma which it isn’t in any of my manuals. So I acquired a Norma manual but didn’t realize it only has Norma...

I love model 70 stainless classics and have one in 7 mag and 30-06. Neither is a coveted 5 digit but close. One is about 110000 and one about 125,000 which is still pretty early for a classic and both function flawless and shoot well. I just bought a 5 digit (60,000) stainless classic...

I have acquired my first pre 64 model 70 featherweight in 270. It is a really nice looking rifle but has had a butt pad added and it has some stock dings and a few scratches on the metal. Which suites me just fine. I am not much of a collector of things I shouldn’t shoot. I plan to do bare...

Can someone tell me which extractor to use with the .375 H&H?? I assume it is the magnum version not the 300 wby?? Is it based on rim diameter instead of length??

I have had the guide gun for a long time with the Xs sights ghost ring. Love it but want to add a scope by adding the xs picatinny rail and a leupold vx3 2.5x8. Question is which rings do you recommend and should they be mediums or high? I assume low won’t work.

My model 70 classic has a McMillan stock that has pillers and I skim bedded the action and it works great. I wanted to be the bottom metal also however I haven't done that before on any of my rifles. I understand how to do it but was wondering if I should tape the sides of the bottom metal...

Looking for a new scope for my 7 mag with a little more magnification. Currently wears a z3 3x10x42 getting bumped to my 30-06 or 6.5x55. I looked at the zeiss hd5 3-15x42 or x50 with rz600. They have them on sale for a pretty good price. I was about ready to walk out with it and looked at a...

Just bought a Winchester 70 classic stainless in 30-06 for $425 score. Bad news it has black spots all over the barrel from the forend forward looks like mold but I assume it is rust spots, doesn't come off with oil. I made them take it completely apart to inspect. Action looks fine and barrel...

Does anyone have any experience with this scope?? I am looking at it for my hunting ar 6.8spc. It currently wears vx2 2-7. I have found it for an unbelievably deal just wondering if anyone had any experience with it.

I need a new scope for my 7mag. It currently has a swarovski z3 3.5 x 10 which is getting moved down to my 6.5x55 sako finnlight. I have had several vx3 leupold and like them also liked z3 and zeiss conquest. Want to step up to a variable with 12-15 on the max end. Was looking at a new z5, new...

Wondering if someone could run this for me please?? 6.5x55 lapua brass, cci br2 primer, h4831sc powder, 120 grain ttsx? And the same all of the above except for a 140sst bullet. Also this will be fired in modern 6.5x55 sako 85 action. I know I will have to work up to it but what is an...

Anyone tried out the 7mm 168 grain lrx yet?? I have been shooting factory ammo out of my 7 since 150bt federal premium shoots so well ever since I got it bedded in a mcswirly. Now I am ready to try for better.

Has anyone ever polished the feed ramp on their model 70. My classic stainless 7 mag has a really rough ramp. Just wondering if anyone had any tips either method or tools for that and/or polishing rails while I am at it. I have polished a ramp on a .45 before so I would think it about the same...

I walked into a local gun store and found this staring back at me. Prettiest wood I have ever seen on a factory rifle. Couldn't walk away, I see no evidence of a scope mounting or being fired. It is a classic supergrade in 25-06. I really was looking for a 300 WM or bigger but couldn't pass...

I have one of these for a 270. I have sold my 270 rifle but have now bought a forster die set for my 6.5x55. Can you swap the top of the dies to make my 6.5 die and ultra seater??

I just about got the new sako finnlight 6.5x55 going. I bought a leupold vx3 2.5x8x36 and my optilock ringmounts should be here next week. I will probably go with forster dies and cci br2 primers. For brass should I use the Norma or lapua?? Also has anyone have a good load using h4831sc?? I...

Looking for a scope for sako 85 finnlight in 6.5x55. My original thought was to move my z3 3-10x42 from my 7 mag and upgrade that one to a z3 4-12. However been giving some thought to adding a real high quality 6x to the 6.5 like a Schmidt and bender? However it seems a little heavier than...

Now that I have your attention I have the ability to acquire one of two rifles. Which would you gentleman prefer?? :wink: Sako 85 Finnlight in 6.5x55 Or Sako 85 Grey Wolf in 260 Remington Also knowing either probably in the long term would end up in mcmillans. So the cost would be a wash and...
