About a year ago I bought a Left-Handed Win. M70 chambered in 300 WSM. I wasn't happy with the factory barrel, and I asked my gun smith to replace it with a Douglas xxAG barrel in their #3 sporter contour. I got the finished rifle back last week. While sighting in the scope I shot a 7/8"...

Curt, who hunts on a neighboring property posted this video on YouTube. I had asked around the neighbors when I found a broadhead stuck in a vertebrae of the buck I shot with the 7mm WSM during rifle season. This is the result of those inquiries. Dan

I have been trying to use up some old primers while fire forming 300 WSM brass to 7mm WSM brass. I started with some very old Remington 9-1/2 primers from the late 1970's or early 1980's. When those were gone, I switched to some old Winchester WLR primers shown on the right side of the photo...

I know that reloading manuals state the brand of brass that they use when developing loads. But, I don't think I have ever seen where it is stated the condition of the brass. Is the brass used in reloading manuals unfired virgin brass? In my modest experience it seems that I get different...

At the end of the year, I purchased a Polaris Ranger SP 570 UTV (side-by-side). I wanted a gun rack that would securely and safely hold a rifle or shotgun while I was driving it. However, I didn't want to drill holes in my brand new machine and permanently mount something that would be in the...

It appears that I will be getting into neck turning due to a tight chamber neck for one cartridge, and thick neck brass for another cartridge. (An increase in accuracy wouldn't hurt my feelings either). I have looked on-line a bit and have seen several makes and models of neck turning systems...

My close friends and I had a great deer season this year on the two farms we hunt. In roughly chorological order: Caleb T. shot this 8 Pt. in archery season. I followed with this 9 pt. archery (crossbow) buck. Ashley T. shot this 8 pt. on the opening day of gun season. She used a 308 with...

Below is an e-mail message send from my friend and neighbor, Caleb T. to our mutual friend and forum member Roland (Rol_P). Caleb gave me permission to post his message here. Through the years, Roland has given Caleb a couple of Leupold rifle scopes which Caleb puts to good use. One of them...

I few months ago I bought a 2006 era left-handed Winchester M70 chambered in 7mm WSM and I am loving it. Since I have a 300 WM shooting 180 gr. AB's for elk and a 7mm Rem. Mag. shooting 160 gr. AB's, I decided to make this into a dedicated deer and antelope rifle. It has had no work done on it...

I am counting my blessings today. Once again, I have cheated the grim reaper. This is at least the fourth time, as an adult, I have survived a potentially disastrous medical condition. I survived a heart attack on July 4th due to the timely and appropriate actions of family, friends, and the...

Years ago Roland (Rol_P) had given me a couple of OSB shipping boxes in which a deer and elk antlers had been shipped to him. With minimal effort and thought I made them into bullets stops filled with sand/dirt, one for 100 yards and one for 200 yards. The 200 OSB board on the 200 yard one...

It just has a little fatter cartridge. Ever since I learned of the 284 Winchester I thought it was a neat cartridge - short action and 270 Win. performance. I never found a left-handed M70 in a short action that wasn't a WSM. When I found this 7mm WSM in the Classic Sporter III version, I...

Is the older "Solid Base" ballistic tip p/n 39588 the same as the newer "Ballistic Tip Hunting" p/n 27150? Or, are there differences in construction? Thanks for your insight. Dan

New York State's spring turkey season finally opened on Monday, May 1st. My neighbor/friend (Caleb) and I had been anxiously waiting for this day. Another friend of Caleb's also went out. However, he hunted along the foot of the hill separate from us. Caleb and I had decided to hunt the...

I am going to do some load development on a friend's 1952 Winchester M70 chambered in 270 Win. When I take on a project like this I make up a notebook of all of my work and I like to start with a catalog page of the rifle's specifications. So, I would like to obtain a copy of a pre-64...

A former co-worker and friend of mine passed away last week. He was truly a member of America's "Greatest Generation". Dan was born in 1929 and lied about his age to get into the Marine Corps in WWII. He started as what he called a "Ground Grunt". During ground combat he was bayoneted and...

My young neighbor and friend, Caleb T., is going to Montana with me in 2023 to elk and mule deer hunt. His primary rifle will be a Sako A7, chambered in 300 Win. Mag., loaded with my 180 gr. Accubond handloads. Since he is right-handed, and I am left-handed, it would be awkward to share a...

My young neighbor and friend, Caleb T. is planning on going elk and deer hunting with me in Montana in the fall of 2023. He had purchased a used Sako A7 chamber for 300 Win. Mag. mid 2022. Rol_P donated a Leupold Vari-X III, 2.5-8X, 36mm scope to Caleb to mount on his new acquisition. Early...

I am intrigued by the 7mm PRC and really like the cartridge case design. I have a left-handed M70 in 7mm RM and plan to replace the barrel on it in 2023. I am considering going with the 7mm PRC instead. The only issue is that I wasn't planning to use it for long range shooting over 500 yards...

Given to me and I have no use for them. Yours to pick up or for shipping cost. Since I am in NYS it may have to ship to a dealer in another state.
