My stutzen always struck me as "sporting", but never "excessive".

One point on the clip ons: Measure your scope/scope mounts. I went with the Swarovski on mine, because the Leica would have fouled the barrel...

Well, I almost got taken out by two cars with Ontario plates at the Buffalo Airport yesterday, and a cruise past the Galeria Mall also showed some Ontario plates. Also saw a few at some of the local medical centers...

... And people wonder why I use my Mannlicher Schönauer...

I've never heard this, and I've never had this problem. W.D.M. Bell did state he had unreliable cartridges that split, causing issues with extracting, but I'd always thought that meant difficult bolt lift, and I assumed that was based on cartridge quality, not rifle quality. This was his...

I love Gerstners. I bought a nice one for my Dad, who was a retired machine-repairman/machinist. He'd always wanted one. When he got it, he thought it was too nice to put machine tools in, so he gave it to my mother to use as a jewelry box. I hate that Gerstner sends me junk emails every...

Yeah, but it's getting even worse than that: "You don't need a steak, the salmon has just as much, if not more protein." "But I'm looking for a steak." "Have you considered the Omega-3 fatty acids in the salmon?" "But I'm looking for a steak." "You know, you can prepare a salmon just like a...

Yes. The reason for that is the Austrians measure rimless cases to the top of the "rim", the Germans (and CIP, dimension L3) the overall case length. So that 1mm difference between the two is actually the "rim" itself. Where I get confused is the 9.5X57 Mannlicher Schönauer, and the...

I feel like I'm in a bar with a bunch of guys yelling "Less Filling" and then another bunch of guys yell "Tastes Great!".

Yes, the CH4D are marked the same. My understanding after speaking with CH4D is they are the same specs. I have NOT been able to find info on a 9.5X57 Mauser. My ability to search online seems to be atrophying, when I search on 9.5X57Mauser, I get Mannlicher hits, and info on the 9X57 Mauser...

Well, I will admit I have a soft spot in my heart for ones like this...

At the national level? Maybe for a specific congressman, but not likely. At the local level? https://apnews.com/article/buffalo-campaigns-kathy-hochul-nyc-state-wire-bfcf3cf4ac60a28c6b869030bfc6fae0

I'll try and be more clear: It is possible at the same time that the President is acting like a buffoon, while simultaneously other disastrous things are underway. Both can be bad. It is not a case of two wrongs making a right, it is a case of worrying about a less important problem while...

I've said it before, and I will continue to say it until it's understood: Blaming NATO for expanding east is like blaming the Battered Women's Shelters for an increase in the divorce rate.

So, I seem to hear a lot about Canadians being appalled by US "attacks" on their sovereignty. I don't hear much about Chinese attacks on the same. I think I'm more worried about the Chinese attacks. I mean, when did it become acceptable for MPs to suggest turning in Canadian citizens to a...

Remember Wag the Dog? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120885/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1

If you could let us know when you do get around to it, I'm sure there will be a market here. Thanks.

I am curious about this as well. I agree with a now-missing post that there are many stock rifles out there. But here's the thing: I have one FN unbarelled Mauser action. I will need to build it into "something". I have a .30-06. I have a 7X57. I see these two as redundant, but one is a...

More importantly, were they castrated first?

Let me tell you about a little sandy island off the coast of South Carolina some time...

This I remember well...

The rotary magazines are very specific, size wise. Based on CIP dimensions, the .458 Lott is COAL of 91.44mm and a case length of 71.12mm. The Win Mag is COAL is 84.84mm, and case length of 63.50mm. I don't think that COAL will fit in the magazine itself, and I'm not even sure it will fit in...

Yes, my own eyes and ears. It was in the J-5 at USFOR-A in December, 2009.

Best I can do for you there is a .458 WinMag. But there were so few of them made. But I love that rotary mag.

Yes... but consider the history of the .30-06. Wikipedia is never a source, but this Guns and Ammo page also summarizes it: https://www.gunsandammo.com/editorial/classics-1903-springfield-rifle/248535#replay Initially, the 1903 Springfield was chambered in a new .30-03 caliber. The cartridge...

Those distinctions are important, because they show respect. It's not an army rank structure at all. Some of it is due to "jointness" being forced on them. Others are a very old tradition. Colonel comes from a leader of a column. Lieutenant is "in lieu of", as has been noted. Other...

This. Exactly this.

Merkel:

Wouldn't that be a .30-03?

Two points: 1. For the love of all that is good and holy: Please remember Army Lieutenant Colonels are abbreviated as LTC. Marines, however, are abbreviated as LtCol. In the Air Force, it's Lt Col. In the Navy, it's CDR. Not everyone in the world has to follow Army rules, and contrary to...

I didn't see that as a safari movie. I thought it was about a movie director who saw himself as a safari guy, but when put to the test, failed. And managed to get someone else killed in the process. There was a theme there, and the theme was not "hunting is bad". Or, as another Clint...

I did not know that, so I did some research. I'm assuming what I found on line speaks to that, and I have to admit, I did not find much on line. I'll keep looking, and if someone can point to some, thank you. What I did find was an interview he did after he made "Whit Hunter, Black Heart"...

OK, I'll play silly games. I lived in Germany (near Stuttgart) for about 10 years, so here are just a few things: I've moved a lot in my life. I may have had to get a new driver's license, but I never had to go to the local Rathaus to inform the government I've changed my address. I've never...

On the day that John Wayne died I found myself on the Continental Divide. Tell me where do we go from here? I think I'll ride into Leadville and have a few beers. I think of Red River, and Liberty Valance: I can't believe the old man's gone...

Summary of things that were important in the last week? Start of Summary: End of Summary. That's the summary of the important things. Pretty much everything else was just static. Hope this helps.

I think you are hinting at my question. I understand markets are down. My question is, what part of this is individual trading, and what part could be influenced by algorithms that trade based on market trends? Is any part of this influenced by AI?

There's the conundrum. Nothing there made me think I was anywhere near unsafe, the rifle checks out, headspace is correct, etc. Everything else (other bullets, NOS ammo) worked perfectly. It should have worked, and if someone else didn't say he had the same problem with the rifle/bullet...

It's a conundrum.

Yes, my first concern was going too low. But 34.5 grains gave me over 2200 fps velocity. It was the next step above that which had the problem, and that gave 2259 fps. That's far higher than the QL calculation. I should have stopped the first time I saw higher than expected velocities...

Now that is very interesting. My issue was not quite that bad, but it seems there's something up with the Woodleighs. The 156 grain Oryx and 160 grain Hornadys did not have this problem, so I think it is not so much bullet weight as it is bullet construction. One other thing I just thought...

This particular rifle... I purchased it in Germany about two years ago. Cosmetically, it wasn't what I liked, in addition to blueing worn away on the barrel, as well as a little bit of pitting, as well as a really poor trigger and a poorly repaired stock, I took it to a local (Stuttgart) smith...

That's not at all how it works. Not remotely. And the "mid-terms" are simply an election for the next House as well as 33% if the senate. You can take a "shellacking" there, and two years after that, be re-elected as President (well, Trump cannot, but Obama certainly was). It's a congress...

Anyone who doesn't understand how the Stasi could have found so many people willing to inform on their neighbors has never lived with a HOA.

I have an honest question regarding what I am now calling the Penguin Charts. Who made the charts? I'm sure it wasn't the President himself who was playing in Excel. So which staffer? Which staffer who disagrees with this through those silly places in, comfortable in the knowledge that the...

Ha! you should have seen what it was during the Obama years. There was a time in 2009 where it was close to $1.50. Oh, and there was the time in the summer of 2008 where I could use the MPH/KPH speedometer dial on my car to do currency conversion.

Yes, a simulation, and an imperfect one at that. I will probably eventually switch to the N150. N160 is marketed as clean burning and temperature stable, which led to me asking VV in the first place. I really can't stress this point enough. I did not simply plug numbers into QL, I started...

Yes, I pulled them yesterday. All the other rounds were "correct" (i.e. the weight I wrote on the side of the case was the same as the powder I pulled. Also, I re-measured both shoulder bump and case length. Shoulder bump was correct (about a .004 increase, waiting to be bumped back, and case...
