Never tried Superformance . A friend uses it and has good luck and will give me some to try , I don't know what weight or what bullets he is using. My personal choice is R19. I have a old Rifles Inc. Strata and it came with the load data sheet ( 59 grs. R19 - Nosler 150 gr. Pt.) Now that I'm out...

I built a 6.5 PRC on a long action and I couldn't get it to feed . I bought a Hawkins long action bottom metal kit with a clip that is flush on the bottom and has the block in the back of the magazine box , problem solved. Years ago in the Mauser days we would cut the follower and spring then...

I'm 70 and 1/2 years old and based on 100 years old I'm already discounted over 70% off .I'm going to order one at full retail , I can't wait for much of a discount!!!

Hope to draw a moose tag in Wa. state, already have sheep and Mt. goat and moose would finish my trifecta as all three are once in a lifetime tag. Gun of choice my custom 338 RUM. with 250 gr. Speer grand slams

Buy raffle tags if you can it will increase your odds in the lower 48 . I was lucky enough to draw 2 goat tags in Wa. before they changed it to once in a lifetime tag. Both were memories that I will never forget. Last year I drew a sheep tag and shot a ram within a mile of where I shot the first...

Talley Hooooo! ,Weaver , Redfield, etc. are great 2 piece mounts that a lot of custom rifle builders used for years until the pic rails .

In todays world it's good to ask questions. Thanks for the response.

257Wby with 100gr. bullets and 22-243 Middlestead.

1,000 yards is a poke for sure and everything has to be perfect to decide to take a shot and there is no room for error. As it has been said here several times elk are hard to kill and the myth of flop and drop doesn't happen very often in real life maybe on tv where it can be...

Why would even think about Washington ? The cost of hunting and fishing licenses are sky high and as for getting drawn for a special tag you have a better chance of winning the Power Ball. Our governor is a total idiot and it looks like his replacement is going to be worse. I'm 70 years old and...

7mm Man, that is one sweet 1986. I have my Great Grandfathers 1886 45-90 . Mine isn't in as good of shape as the one you have. . This week a old college buddy showed up at the gun club with a list of stuff from a estate that he is selling. On the list was 300 rounds of new Bertram brass, RCBS...

In 42 years of marriage my wife has never questioned me on any gun purchase. A few years ago she went to a sewing expo with her best friend and when she got home she ask me if I would help her unload the car. There was 3 big boxes in the car , she told me she had got a good deal on a new sewing...

Around 2009 - 2010 there was a Rifles Inc. strata 300 Rum on G.B. for 3 months , started at $2500 and finally sold for $1450.

Swakane ? Great picture, we are blessed to be able to drive a few miles to enjoy seeing sheep on a regular bases. ( 2022) 7095 apps. for 2 tags makes it tuff to get drawn for sure. I got drawn last year for the Manson unit with 23 pts. At 70 years old ,it was going to be my last year to...

Do you have the original turret?
