Does anyone have a copy of this book? Is it worth the price if someone plans on working on a couple rifles?

Good morning Gents, I have a problem that only the AH Enablers can solve. I picked up two barreled actions last night. One is a 6.5x55 built on a Mod 98, and the other is a 8x57 built on a Husquvarna. I need help to come up with ideas for the 8mm. Here’s my current stable: -6.5x54 -270...

As an electrician with no clue what CNC machining entails, tell me what it would take to have Mauser bottom metal machined for a billet? It looks like Swift is still selling it, but is it even remotely possible to get someone there CAD file? I’m sure if a member had the skill set, there...

What’s the general consensus on the Mauser 66’s? There’s one online that has languished for quite a while, and they do seem like a somewhat interesting rifle. What’s the good, bad, and the ugly on them?

Does anyone know much about these new chrono’s? Now that dealers are selling pre-orders, I’m seeing a bunch of Labdars for sale. https://www.garmin.com/en-CA/p/771164

Good day! No I know there are plenty of MS rifle fans on here, so I’d like a bit of help. I’m considering filling my toe into the 6.5x54 pond and if you guys can point out anything of concern with this rifle it would be appreciated! Also, any suggestions for reloading would be great as well...

Good evening, I came across this 8mm rifle, and am wondering what the experts here can tell me. The seller says it’s a 96, but the bolt sure looks like it has the third lug to me. Complete claw mounts with a Zeiss scope, and a greener safety. It almost looks like someone tried to sand down a...

Because there has been some discussion as of late about this subject, I sent I Run Guns an email.

Gentlemen, My wife and I are floating the idea of spending a month in Europe next summer with our two boys(7/5). About ten years ago we spent three weeks in Barcelona, Nice, Florence, and Venice, and like the idea of one or two home bases that don’t break the bank, as opposed to being on the...

So I ended up going down a rabbit hole last week, and next thing you know I’m talking to a gentleman in Turkey who sells beautiful blanks. He told me that he has been dealing with Ralf Martini form 25 years, so I’m guessing most high end builders would purchase blanks straight from a supplier...

I came across this online today, and it made me laugh. It’s seems the “new is better” debate is as old as the hills.

So I finally got my FN 300H&H out to sight it in, and the trigger pull is borderline unsafe. I pulled it apart today to take a look at it, and I can’t seem to find any info online about the trigger. If anyone can help me out how to make the pull a bit heavier and add some take up(if possible)...

Gentlemen, I figured I’d ask the question here before I send a message to my gunsmith. While taking out my 8x68s to finally sight it on with Norma PH ammo, I unfortunately discovered that the mag box is too short even though the ammo is below listed COAL for the cartridge. I haven’t taken it...

https://www.fieldandstream.com/hunting/american-hunter-bags-giant-crocodile-africa/?amp I’m not sure if any members have any more details of this hunt. Looks like a brute to my uneducated eye!

Gentlemen, I will need you to dig deep into the depths of your minds! As I was reading another post on here about the beloved 9.3x62, I started to wonder if a 9.3 had ever been built on a necked up 8x68s. Old Uncle Google doesn't have much for info, but it seems like Husqvarna MAY have...

Well because draw results are in, and it's a slow Friday, it seems like a good idea to pick the memberships brain for some fun. This season I have drawn the following tags (a grand slam as far as I'm concerned): -Antlered Moose -Antlered Elk -Antlered Mule Deer -A Special Whitetail draw...

Happy Saturday Gentlemen! In my usual morning peruse of classifieds, I came across this German hammer double in 9.3x72R. A rifle like this doesn’t pop up very often north of the 49th, and I’m curious as to what the keen eyes here can discern.

Does anyone here know have any experience with Quality's new line of mono bullets? I was on the phone with them regarding 280 Ross brass, and the gentleman I was talking to said he also had a rifle chambered in this round, and was using their own .287 bullets in it and getting good results. I...

Would anyone have this issue kicking around their house? I’m specifically looking for an article with some load data for the 280 Ross written by Terry Weiland. If I could get pictures of it, that would be greatly appreciated!

Good day, I’m wondering if we have any .275H&H fans here who have a hoard of Woodleighs they may be willing to part with. Or if anyone knows of where to find them. Midway and Huntington are both sold out.

I’ve spent some time looking online for an answer about what the US Govt will let out of the country without a permit, but I can’t find an answer. I know scopes need an export permit, but what about items like bullets, brass, rifle stocks, or pistol grips? My folks are driving to AZ at the end...

Im not sure if anyone has watched this video, but I saw it today and it highlights the hazards of fast animals and minimal visibility. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10403203/amp/Stampeding-stag-gouges-Polish-hunters-eye-antlers-bursts-bushes.html

I don’t remember when or how I first came to learn about this cartridge, maybe it was one of the articles here or some other source, but it began an infatuation over an obsolete Canadian built relic. For the last few years I had watched online for rifles to come for sale, almost pulling the...

With the amount of skill craftsmen on this site, I’m wondering if anyone has attempted to make their own trunk case? It seems like it could be a fun little project to tackle.

A few years ago I purchased a ZG47 in 30-06, and I finally got around to taking it to the range to sight it in, I may have ran a couple shots through sit after I bought it, but I’m not certain. Well after the first shot, the trigger was stuck in the fire position. I took the action apart, and...

Ok, so I already know that if I’m asking the question, the answer is more than likely no! I inherited an Eaton SxS years ago from my great uncle. This weekend I have family coming over, and we are planning a little clay pigeon shooting, and I was wondering if I could try it out! Let me know...

Gentlemen, I have am waiting on a Frankonia 8x68 that comes with 1” EAW rings, and am starting to look for scopes to mount. New rings are over half the price I paid for the rifle, so I won’t be upgrading to 30mm. Unfortunately I live in an area where the only real retailer is a poorly stocked...

Gentleman, I’m looking at a Frankonia Mauser in 8x68s, and as usual, opinions here are held in high regard. It comes with EAW pivot mounts, which is a very nice bonus, considering the asking price. The fore-end is odd, and I can’t find any pictures to compare with it. what do you guys think...

Good evening guys, I am looking to educate myself better on vintage rifles, and unfortunately the only way I can is through books. I’m my neck of the woods we don’t have anywhere to find these guns to check them out. I’m wondering what reading material you guys would recommend? I have been...

Good morning Gents, Can anyone shed some light on this rifle? I can’t find much online about older Heyms. The seller says it’s from the 60’s. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks in advance

Afternoon Gents! Im doing an order for cleaning supplies, and am curious what products you recommend for general rifle cleaning maintenance or light restoration. I have some light rust that I’ll use bronze wool to tackle, but what oils and cleaners are the best for cleaning bores, and...

Good afternoon gents, The time has come for me to start looking at building a home range. Which lead me to a some questions: -What designs have you employed? -What material works best?(Clay, sand, dirt) -Is there any point in putting timbers in front of the fill, or is it more of a PITA...

Does anyone have experience with these scopes? I’m waiting to get my hands on a 300H&H, and am looking at the 3x12 with recticle 60. Just wondering how these stack up with scopes in the similar price points. Or if anyone has any other recommendations.

Do we have any avid snow geese hunters? With spring slowly trying to break through, it’s only a matter of time before the fields start turning white from something other than snow. I’m looking to dip my toes into the spring season, I’m just wondering what kind of tips you guys have for snows?

I have a couple VX-R scopes for sale brand new in the box. They have the firedot duplex reticle. I have two of these on my rifles as it is, and they are great scopes, and very hard to find for a decent price north of the border. 650 Shipped

I’m in need of some opinions here! I know there are a bunch of Bruno fans lurking around. I’ve come across a VZ-24 action in 8mm for what seems to be a decent price. I’m just wondering if there are any years I should stay away from, or were they all solid actions. Also, I’m not sold on an...

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/803082592 Just came across this listing, and it seems a little too good to be true. Can anyone provide some insight? @rookhawk should be able to shed some light on this I think!

I figured that I should introduce the new member to my gun safe. It’s a 1912 Chilean Mauser in 7x57. I picked it up for a decent price, and I put two boxes through it the other night and it shoots like a dream. This rifle have been Bubba’d and needs a little TLC. It came with a Barska 4x...

I'm looking at a Model 70 (1958) in 300 H&H, and there are screws in the receiver that are from a previous "period" scope mount? Just wondering if these should cause any issues with the strength of the action, or have and serious value impact?

I came across an ad online for a Parker-Hale .375H&H which can be had fairly cheaply. The seller claims it's a 1100 lightweight, but from what I can find online it's a 1100M. There aren't any others for sale online, and not a whole lot of information on these guns. From what I can find, they...

Does anyone have any experience with these stocks? They seem to have some good pricing right now on exhibition grade Claro Walnut. http://www.rifle-stocks.com/

I think it was two years ago, a similar thread was started for everyone to share their season successes at home. I found it interesting and a good read, so with today being the first day of rifle season in my neck of the woods, I felt the need to start a new one! Share your stories from this...

So work has been fairly slow, so I've been killing time here on the inter-web, and have a question for all you Mauser experts out there. Are there actions to stay clear of, or are most commercial makes of reasonable quality?

Finally after a year and a half of waiting, out trophies arrived from our 2016 hunt with @Pawprint Safaris. The work was done by Relive Taxidermy in Port Elizabeth, and cleared in Edmonton by Talon Distribution. I'm currently out of town working, and due to life it will be a while before I get...

I am an extremely novice bow hunter in need of advice. I bought a bow a couple years ago, in hopes of getting out with it, but harvest always seems to get in the way of bow hunting season for me. This year I was lucky to get my Alberta bull moose draw, so I'm hoping to get out with the bow to...

I'm just throwing this out to see what kind of feed back I get from our sponsors. After doing a PG hunt last year, my father has a case of buffalo fever! So now I'm looking to see what there is for a 2x1 opportunity for 2 buffalo, a sable for myself, and whatever plains game the bush seems to...

Hey, just wondering if anyone on here has had any experience with Limcroma? I did a quick search, and nothing came up but their own posts.

So I bought a CZ550 in .375, and have been working on loads for it since. Im using 250gr TTSX's, which Barnes recommends starting .050 off the lands. To find the COAL of the cartridge touching the lands, I've been using a brass that i have cut a slit in the neck so the bullet can move freely...
