Have an RCBS Uniflo powder thrower and RCBS Trim Pro manual case trimmer up for grabs. The case trimmer has scarcely seen action in the 5-6 years since I bought it. And the powder thrower, though used frequently, is still in perfect condition. Both pieces were mounted/bolted to black laquered...

BH, Hey! How about that! I've spent thousands of dollars over the years at Sinclair International and never even noticed their OAL gauge! Thanks, Dave

JB, RF, I really appreciate your prompt feedback to my post. You are both most gracious to indulge me in this new (and, frankly, quite nerve-racking) shooting endeavor. A 6.5x284 Norma is something I've been wanting for several years now. But it's also a chambering much less forgiving than...

Gentlemen, After initiating the project the summer of last year, I am FINALLY aboard the 6.5x284 bandwagon with many of the rest of you fanatics! (This one was chambered with a Pacific Tool & Gauge 6.5x284 Norma reamer.) But now I'm really nervous about the rifle. After brooding all...

Gents, This scope was sold to a nice police sniper on the East Coast. Thanks for all ya'lls interest. Dave

Gents, I put up ads for this thing at two or three other sites and never even got so much as a single inquiry. So I thought I'd give it a try with you fellas. I'm going through a rather complicated divorce (as if the adjective isn't superfluous) and have decided to liquidate all but two of my...

Lo, I've missed you, man! I'm sorry I haven't been at the other board. Have you killed any monster feral hogs on those frequent hunts you do with Bob? Hell, let me call you here in the next several days, Lorenzo. I've still got your digits in my personal phone directory. Dave PS - The...

This scope was mounted to a certain rifle but NEVER ultimately taken into the field. It's in pristine (i.e. as new) condition; scope rings didn't even leave visible impressions in the finish. Have the original box, papers, and bikini covers; serial number is M03095. $1000 + S/H (FIRM). Let...

Gentlemen, Vincent Foster was 'working' in Iraq as a Black Water Security Sniper. Previously with the U.S.M.C. as a Scout-Sniper, Vince had been working with Black Water since shortly after his discharge from the Marine Corps. One of his inner circle here in Texas shared things with me that...

Mike, Damnation! That's a beaute!!! I'm so proud of you! And I'm soooooo green with envy! Now don't skimp on a taxidermist. Incidentally, I found your comments about the frustrations of hunting game like moose and bear reflective of the very reasons why I've gotten to the point where I care...

Ian, You have no idea how fortunate I consider myself that you'll soon have ties to Houston, Texas. This increases the odds enormously that you'll be able to come down for an antelope (Blackbuck) hunt sometime in the coming years! Oh joy!!! Let me know when the ole' offspring settle in down...

Ian, If the tube is good and the riflesmith is at all compentent/conscientious, then I think, yes, all McHale-stocked rifles do shoot great. Many riflesmiths who have built rifles into the McHale have told me that there is no mystery to this, too. They all talk about how the deep, thick belly...

Guys, I can't believe Ian doesn't have at least one rifle built into a McHale, because in the summer of 2002, he scored a 4" group at 800 yards with a .300 WSM built around a Remington M700 action and into a McHale stock. The thing of it is, he did it in tactical mode (Prone that is; Not off a...

Sheldon, As long as you don't plan on lugging it around alot, then there's absolutely no question as to which McMillan stock should be your choice for that .300 RUM project . . . McHale!!! Even as much as Ian praises this stock, he's still understating it's merits. It has the...
