    Munnik and the rest of the TDS sufferers are in total denial. A convicted criminal is the son of the former president and he isn't calling anyone except a Chinese art buyer.

    Interested in rifle conversion to 470 Capstick or 470/458 W.

    I see several rifles that would seem to fit the job with just a rebarrel. Would there be any hidden complications in rebarreling a Win 70 from 458 Win Mag or 416 Rem Mag to 470 Capstick or 470/458?

    Rifles are NOT like wives- just because you want a new one doesn't mean you have to get rid of the old one.

    Cci primers

    About 40 years ago I was going to shoot a nice 4 pt mule deer and instead of a boom from the 270 all that was heard was click. the deer was about 50 yards away and took off so fast there was no second shot. I lived near Lewiston Idaho so I took the cartridge into Speer and showed it to Dave...

    470 win mag

    Steve- I need some clarification-the 470 WinMag shows .468 while the 470 short is .474. the 468 would be the bore diameter while the .474 would be the groove diameter. shouldn't both cartridges use the same number for the calculation?

    470 win mag

    Three strikes against me getting it: 1. left hand, 2. Ruger action, 3. 8.5 lb. If it were a Win or CZ, right hand and 10 lbs prior to scope & mounts I'd consider it- after all, I'm looking for a single barrel rifle with a .475" bore to shoot a bunch of hard bullets that I don't want to put...

    Barrel maker .475"

    For years I had C.P. Donnelly make the barrels for my rifles. then after his passing I got them from Lilja. But now I'm looking for a barrelmaker to put a barrel chambered for something on the order of 470 Capstick to be fitted to a Win 70 or a CZ. Any recommendations?

    If my dad would have seen me cutting hair as shown in the above photo instead of pointing the blade past the hair, then cutting the hide from the underside it would have been a BIG problem.

    New Production Winchester Model 70 in 375 H&H back in-stock

    I've had about 15 Leupold scopes dating from about 1950 to the youngest about 5 years old. I have not had any problems with these BUT a hunting partner has a VariX-III 2.5-8 that I observed to shoot right on when checked at the range then riding cased sitting on a car seat as it travelled about...
