THis rifle has been sold Drew

Re: Long range 7mm08 for sale gbp--Im definitely not selling this rifle for a rope !! Im selling it to help pay for(and believe it or not selling this rifle isnt going to help very much) a younger horse (3-5yrs) to rope off of; for team roping (head horse). I also dont have a very precise way...

Im selling a 7mm08 in perfect condition that was made for me by Chris Mathews at LongShot Rifles. Its a beautiful and accurate rifle w/ about 350 rounds through it--I hate to sell it but IMO I havent had the time to use/enjoy it enough to justify its price tag, especially since Im starting to...

Are there any new regulations regarding flying with firearms and ammo? The last time I flew to a hunt was a few years ago and it was required that your rifle was flown separately from your ammo and that it was in a locked case(are there any specifics on how the ammo needs to be stored?). Please...

I have one regular stud for mounting a bipod at the forearm and then two pairs of what I think you're calling flush cups on the bottom and off side of the rifle. All I want to know is what I need to buy to attach a sling to this stock--Mcm A-3. Thanks, Drew

Where can I find the studs that are needed for this rifle? THanks Drew

Reloder22, H4831SC, Reloder25--These have burn rates that are matched well to the 6mm vld style bullets that you mentioned. I have used all three with very good accuracy and velocity. Good luck Drew Stuart

Re: 6mm berger 105 vld\'s Thanks for the replies- Even though I have gotten great results seating the berger vld's just off the lands, I have only just started load developement and I would still like to see how they shoot seated about 5thousanths into the lands. The Berger website recommends...

6mm berger 105 vld\'s Ive just started working up a load for my new Lilja 3groove 8twist.243win chambered barrel. I would prefer to use the 105 bergers and so far that is the only bullet Ive been able to try (other than some cheap 100grn hornadys for the barrel breakin). Out of 5 3-shot 100yd...

When I reload for a factory rifle I always FL resize my cases. Many times a factory rifle with a sloppy chamber will shoot great groups with FL sized cases, but shoot like s**t when you try neck sized reloads(I've witnessed it first hand several times). I think this happens because the...

I attended the Royal Tine Guide and Packer school just outside of gorgeous, Philipsburg, MT during the summer of 2004 and it was one of the most awesome experiences of my life-great comraderie and the training was about as "hands-on" and intese as it could get. One of the things that was branded...

Having a good riflesmith cut a new "target crown" on your barrel will probably improve your rifles accuracy-mabye even quite a bit. If there are any tooling marks left on your barrel's crown(its common w/ factory barrels), your rifle's accuracy will almost always suffer. Its also a quick and...

Im shooting the 105 berger vld's in my new 8twst .243 and everyone is telling me that I need to try seating these bullets .010-.015" into the lands rather than my current seating depth which is .010" off of the lands--Your thoughts?--How much should I back off of the powder? Thanks for your...

7mag man, REGARDLESS of what anyone else says, its extremely irresponsible to be shooting 900yds at a deer, in a crosswind, when youve just missed 10x's at 2 deer that were 830yds away and then another deer that was 610 yards away (610is a chip shot compared to 894!). Imagine the kind of...

I just canceled my subscription to Rifleshooter (boring ) and would like to replace it with a magazine that specializes in stories and articles on western/rocky mountain big game hunting/outdoors .--Have any suggestions? --Drew Stuart PS-currently my favorite Mag is Field and Stream
