    Lesson learned, be cautious

    I purchased approximately 120 loaded 500 Jeffrey cartridges from a member here. I dug some out to let a few friends experience the rifle and recoil. With some pre shot coaching they handled it well! However before the first round was fired I noticed high primers. Sorting through the cartridges...

    Bino set up for bear country

    When it comes to Grizzly I prefer an all of the above approach; rifle, bear spray and pistol. I'm left to my own devices on public land. After messing with various spray bottle holders this season, and seeing the prices and the sizes of current offerings I came up with this idea. I have yet to...

    400 Whelen advice

    I picked up this rifle the other day. Remington model 1903, SN says it was made 1942. Should be way above the range of the bad heat treating situation. I have 400 Whelen basic brass on the way.

    Need some help

    I ordered a stock from Stocky's for my daughter's 10 22 September of last year. It has become a joke with actually receiving one.

    VX5 on a CZ?

    Push feed to CRF?

    In my haste to pick up a New Haven Model 70 for the action size (gunbroker) I didn't notice it was a push feed. Can the bolt be replaced or the action made to accept a CRF bolt safely? I'm not sure how bad I messed up here? I am wanting the CRF for a build. John

    I came across a used Remington 700 in 338 Ultra mag with a VX II 3×9 scope. I couldnt resist, so I bought it. The barrel was 26", I like short barrels for hunting. First step was to chrono and trim the barrel an inch at a time. The rifle was magna ported, at 10' from the muzzle velocity was 2794...

    550 Rear sight

    My new CZ has the rear sight cut crooked and off center. I called and was told to take it off and send it in for a new one. All well and good but there is a dent in the front of the rear sight. Looks like it's staked in or is this a witness mark for sight adjustment? Does the new sight need to...

    Shooting a 416 Rigby

    I'm picking up a CZ in 416 Rigby on Wednesday. I have been searching all over on how to properly handle the recoil from this rifle. I have fired one a few times with poor form as the rifle came up and to the right, so I know I wasn't square. Any advice you can give is much appreciated. Thanks
