For those whom claim these events are not orchestrated by rich leftists- Answer this: Where did all the professional quality signs, flags, equipment and out of location participants originate and paid?

.458/2= .229; 3.14 x .229 x .229 = .165.. .475/2= .238; 3.14 x .238 x .238 = .178 .178 - .165 = .013 013/.165 = .079 .013/.178 = .073 The .475 has 7.9% greater frontal area than the .458 The .458 has 7.3% less frontal area than the .475

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.

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?

I have a few Win 70 stocks that ere replaced for varying reasons= no damage issues. I'm presuming it is a pre-64 Win to with the second screw in the for end. If interested in a standard issue stock send me your e-mail in a PM and I'll send photos and specs for you to peruse.

The USMC had two rifle courses in 1969, the A & the C. Both had targets at 200, 300 & 500 yards. The A had five positions, ten shots each with Bullseye 5 points, Total possible 250 points. less than 190 was non-qual; 190 - 209 Marksman, 210 - 219 Sharpshooter; 220 - 250 Expert. the C course...

You can try but it may not end well.

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

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...

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?

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...

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?

@19_A_CPT how generous of you- but you should check the price of postage. I just shipped some hulls is a $16.95 Flat Rate box and was charged $26.30. The screen at the post office listed a couple charges of $4.95 each, but the printed receipt that I got just said total $26.30 with no...

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.

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...
