    Sears Model 52 (Win M70) 6.5x55

    This one hurts to post, but if I'm honest with myself, I've sat & stared at it for 2 years now. It's just too damn pretty for me to hunt with & I know I'm going to spend more time worrying about it getting scratched than I actually would hunting. I built this up from parts. The action is a...

    What Have You Killed with Your .308 Winchester?

    Not a G/D thing in 14 years. So I sold them all. Seriously. Truth be told, each & every time I head out to hunt I find myself reaching for either my 6.5x55 or .358 instead. Lately, that's more likely to be .223 or 9.3x62 To me, the .308 has always been the 'lights-off-missionary-position' of...

    Lighter made in USA 9,3 bullets!!

    @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION are also offering the 232gr Norma Vulkan. That's one heck of a good bullet out of any 9.3 chambering for anything smaller than dangerous game. They do create a bit more damage than the Oryx but they're a far more effective 'drt' bullet creating massive internal trauma...

    I just sent an email too, but it's there any chance you'll be able to get Norma Vulkan bullets? Specifically .366 232gr?

    9.3x62

    I've only had my 9.3x62 for a short while now & only got to hunt with it for 4 days this last season. It's quickly becoming/become my favorite medium bore. Even possibly better than the .358 win I've doted on for years. It very permanently let the air out of these 3 does! 285gr Prvi over 64gr...

    Next resurrection......

    Aaaand the second one is finished & sighted in. I pulled a middle range load, again & rather than mess around with development, adjusted the sights to the load. It's absolute dead nuts at 100yds & grouping right around 2" with a 6 O'clock hold. The more I shoot this rifle, the more I'm...

    Toughest Scope: Trijicon? Leopold? Others?

    If i could only buy 1 scope for the rest of my life (Nightforce being incredibly out of my price range) it would be SWFA SS models. They're not incredible well known, but they rank right up there in the 'can take anything' tests, alongside NF & Trijicon. They don't have the fancy lenses, they...

    Man Bun gun for target shooting

    Not while they're making parts for the 6.5x55.... That said, were I to get back into long range shooting (my wallet prevented further adventures) my first look would be at the Little Manbun (or 'Bitch-knot', as I like to call it) the 6CM. Why 6 over 6.5 you ask? Fantastic target bullet...

    Next resurrection......

    Well, NECG finally sent me the front sight blade. That was a loooong 3 months. Long enough that I've handled the rifle a BUNCH & fallen in love with how trim & nimble it is. I have to let her go, since i built her for a buddy, but nothing was going to stop me having my own, so I did another'n...

    Any Winchester 1907 aficionados?

    I just acquired a 1907, manufactured in 1908 & I'm trying to find out if Winchester offered them in different grades. This particular gun has exceptionally well figured wood on the forearm, checkering on the grip & forearm & a cheek piece. The pistol grip flares towards the butt & it has a...

    What Type Of Magazine Do You Prefer On Your Bolt Action Rifle?

    I really have no preference. I have fixed & hinged floorplates, mauser push-n-slide & DBM rifles. My only hard no, would be Savage, Ruger & Kimber magazines. The Savage is super reliable but it was obviously built to a budget by someone who'd read a description but never got a picture. The...

    Mountain rifle

    Tikka Hunter (wood stocked T3 Superlight) might be a wallet friendly option for you. I searched high & low for one in 6.5x55 & picked this up last year. Just a hair under 8lb with the 6x SWFA scope (not mounted in this pic) & a loaded mag. You can find them in .270 for well under a grand. Not...

    Ever THINK you have good optics but then look through mind-blowing better?

    Yeeah...... I usually use cheap Vortex binos. They're honestly good enough for 99% of my hunting. I was in Wyoming in 2019 & for some reason the right eyepiece just wouldn't focus. Hard to spot misty elk on a snowy mountain. My old buddy who lives up there offered me his binos for the week...

    Next resurrection......

    Thank you! I still haven't managed to get to the range, but i did refinish the stock. Stripped off all the old shellack, steamed out the worst of the dents & started on the oil. 5 applications of Alkanet oil, 3 wet sanded Tru-Oil & 9 more straight applications, sanded in between then buffed...

    What is the best car you have ever owned?

    Is not fast, it's not pretty. But this is the first vehicle i bought when I moved to the US from England. 1997 F250 7.3 Powerstroke. I bought it in '09 with 83k on the clock & it's about ripe to hit 400. I've been from Canada to Mexico, East coast to West in the old thing & only once has she let...

    Mediums that perform

    I've yet to try out a 9.3 on game, but my expectations are high. However, I've probably shot as many deer with my .358win as I have all my other rifles combined. To say it performs above expectation is an understatement. On paper, the .358 is, at best, underwhelming. In reality however, up to...

    Next resurrection......

    A few progress pics..... I've soldered & screwed on the rear sight, soldered the front ramp, filled the scope mount holes & taken care of the JB weld. I spent yesterday polishing everything back up & re-bluing it all. I'm hoping to run to the range this weekend & get the sights regulated for a...

    What are you wearing for boots?

    When i hunted Namibia & for any hot weather, stalking hunts in the US (South Texas hogs) I wear a pair of these Roamers Ghillie boots. They're dirty-dirt cheap (+/-$50 shipped from the UK on eBay) incredibly comfortable & flexible & very quiet. I wear them with Smartwool socks in spring & early...

    Exclusively for hunting cartridges

    Late to play & I'm sure already mentioned, but either a .250 Savage or .22-250, .300 Savage or .300 H&H & rounded out with a .375 Ruger. I reckon that'll do everything I'd ever need (although the other twenty-odd guns in my safe are VERY happy that that's not the case!)

    POLL: Favorite Nosler Bullet For Hunting

    My ought-six lives on a strict & specific diet of 165gn Partitions. My old .308, however, despised the things with a passion bordering on religious. I could not get them to shoot, no matter what i tried. 150s through 180s, any powder combo & any velocity from 18-2800fps. 150gn Accubonds are...
