I myself have a few BAT actions and I think they rate at the top of quality, they feel sturdy and don't have the tinny feel that others have but be forewarned they have a very tight tolerance and to make them butter smooth be prepared to get out the jewelers rouge and cycle 2 thousand times. I...

Usually the velocity shelf will will be below the max pressure for a load. I load eight rounds of each different recipe before going to the range. (kind of like shooting 3 round groups or shooting 5 round groups, the difference is astounding) This gives me good data to track each particular...

Use the Lee trimmer, cannot mess up and they are very accurate. Happy shooting.

I find myself listening to Ron Spomer on You Tube or Ron Spomer TV quite often. Happy shooting.

If these were your Dad's why do anything with them? If you want to have a certain caliber just go buy one, your going to spend more for a build than it is worth. Ever hear of the saying "don't look a gift horse in the mouth". There are very good rifles to be bought without going custom. Kimber...

Nice groups, please show me at least 5 shot groups, 10 would be better. Then we could evaluate. Happy Shooting.

So basically rebarrel 22-250 with a 1-8 twist barrel. Some have already rebarreled a 22-250 with 1-9, awesome long range critter getter. Happy shooting.

Thanks

How does this stand along side of a Noreen? Can you get 30 rd. mags for it? Is the trigger adjustable? What barrel do they use? So many questions- Ha. So happy someone else is making these commercially. Very happy for you, I would like to hear follow-ups later after you get a chance to run it...

I had a Sako years ago that had three barrels of different calibers. Thought I had good idea but it turned out to be more trouble than it was worth. I could change barrels easy enough but found out that unless the scope was mounted directly on the barrel I had to resight the scope if I change d...

Even us old blind guys find an acorn once in a while. I don't know why these are not as popular as they once were, some of my best memories are helping my kids hammer home components. The memories of the excitement they exhibited when shooting the loads they created is priceless. Happy shooting.

I started my children off reloading years ago and they are still reloading. They were started on LeeLoaders, they learned how to set the primers, dump powder, seat bullets the simple way. All of the equipment a person needs to load with (except primer, shot, powder) is in the little kit. After...

Ask at your local gun shop that sells reloading components, they know who is reloading and probably the better ones. Most reloaders will take the time to help you, kind of like fly tiers. Most small shops are about 10% higher in cost than Midway or Cabela's but being loyal to your local shop...

Check out the Near scope mounts, I think they are the best. I have some on my large caliber rifles and have never had a problem. Night Force in Near mounts is the best combo I have ever owned. My First Night Force was bought in the 90's I think and the first Near mount was after 08. Before these...

First you need to have a magnifying glass or good eyes, ha. The way we used to figure "drag" surface (old school), bearing length, is; 1. determine the rifle bore diameter, not the land diameter ( Most 30 cal. are 300, I have Krieger match barrels that are 299.5, so this is a determining...
