Microbed? I'm not familiar with what that is. What was the benefit that it brought for bedding?

I didn't realize that Howa made the 1500 in 375 Ruger, but this might be the most affordable option I've seen for getting into the DGR game. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/howa-rifles/howa-1500.cfm?gun_id=102650099

Very nice! With that wood grain, schnabel forend tip, and barrel band sling mount; I think it has some nicer touches than the typical Mark X. Enjoy! :) BTW, the Mark X's started getting adjustable triggers sometime between 1972 and 1975. My 1972 Mark X has a traditional two-stage Mauser 98...

As a kid in the 70's and early 80's, I remember seeing advertisements in NRA's American Rifleman for the Bank of Boulder offering a free Weatherby Mark V in exchange for buying a Certificate of Deposit for a certain amount and term.

What a cool find, and should be fun to bring it back to field readiness! I love the character of it. I have an Interarms Mark X Cavalier that was made in 1975, and run a handload using Hornady 154 grain spire points that it likes pretty well. I measured mine out to be a 1:9" twist (maybe...

Ask him if he will let a group of AH'ers come make bullets for a week or few, at a reduced hourly rate and on the condition that they can take home a portion of the A-frames they manufacture. ;-)

Admittedly, I have only held a couple at a local gun store and haven't actually bought one; but the fit and finish seemed pretty good from what I could tell, not to mention one of them had some pretty nice figuring in the wood. I wouldn't put too much stock in the "Winchester legacy" (they are...

Same here. I don't need a chrono very often, but my friend raves about his Garmin. :)

No worries, and that is a fair concern; I've not seen him mentioned on this site before. He is one of the many online influencers in the firearms world, similar to other online influencers like Hickok45, WhoTeeWho, Paul Harrel, and a handful of others. If memory serves, MrGunsNGear is also a...
