    New Winchester Super Grade Barrel Problems

    I just received a brand new Winchester Model 70 Super Grade in 338 Win Mag, stainless steel. I took her to the range yesterday for the first shots and to zero the scope. While I could get it on paper, I could not get it to group at all. Shots were completely random within about a 6 inch range...

    Twitter/X is blowing up over Japan’s stock market collapse, Dow Jones futures showing signs of the same tomorrow (August 5th), unrest in England, and an anticipated strike on Israel by Iran. It’s about to get spicy and nobody’s at the wheel it seems.

    Ruger 35 Whelen Range Report

    I finally got my Lipsey's Ruger in 35 Whelen out to the range today. My rifle purchases are always leading my scope purchases, so it took a bit to get a scope mounted. I got some Alaskan Arms quick disconnecting rings and a Leupold VX-5HD 2-10 to complete the rig. After three shots with...

    Tuffpak 1050 Lock Style

    After a lot of reviewing opinions and options, I am leaning toward getting a Tuffpak 1050 for taking two scoped rifles on my first safari this year. The question is what lock option to pick: padlock version or key lock version? If you have the built-in key lock version have you had any...

    Sako 9.3x62 Groups - Thoughts?

    These shot groups are from a new (by total rounds fired) Sako M85 Deluxe 9.3x62. Today I put rounds 14-38 through her. She definitely likes 286 grain loads over 250 grain Nosler Accubonds (factory loads). I'm hoping to take this rifle with me next May on my first safari in Namibia. The...

    This pre-64 was manufactured in 1959 based on the serial number. It has honest wear on the original wood finish and metal finish with ZERO rust. This is a duplicate rifle in this chambering for me, so I'm letting this one go. Asking $2000 for the rifle plus $100 to ship to your FFL in a hard...
