Has the action been trued up?

I'll qualifying myself by saying I've hunted with the 6.8 SPC II for over ten years here in "short range" NC and have always been more than satisfied... If you don't reload, it's a great choice... Now, if you reload, check out the 7mm Valkyrie at Mad Dog Weapon Supply... It is THE best and...

Don’t forget the basic 6.5 Bullet for the Swedish military was (I believe) 165 grains with a 1:8 twist... Swedish hunters also used this combination to hunt Moose!

If your bud is a Veteran, Retired Mil, or First Responder I HIGHLY recommend ExpertVoice!! 40% off of Vortex and similar deals with other brands,,, Sightmark has an equally aggressive pricing program for the same group and their better scopes are just as good as others... Just my two cents...

Thanks! My rifle likes the Federal 100gr FB Softpoints... I like the Berger Hunting bullet... But am also a fan of Barnes Bullets... I'm looking for a starting point really...

What are peoples experiences with 1:8 twist? I have a Ruger RSI 77 Tang Safety that I can carry around all day and not worry about it. I haven't hand loaded for it (yet) and would like to get a running start... Thanks!

i Own both TT and Timney triggers (and a bunch of others as well). My preference is based on application. I’ll go with TT when I want to use it a high speed environment (3 gun) or low drag (precision shooting). However, I like the Timney for hunting because it’s an exceptionally robust trigger...

sable tireur, Thanks very much for your insights! What are your thoughts about 1) What sort of basic profile the action has... ex: 98 Mauser? Win 70? And, 2) What sort of repurposing would be appropriate for my rifle? At one time I had entertained the thought of turning it into an F Class or...

PM Replied to... So, a three position rifle is not in my swim lane... What are your thoughts around suitable repurposing? Would this involve mega bucks? Cheers //Peter

Here are a couple of pictures of the bolt... and, I’ve never seen a configuration quite like it...

I bid on this rifle (a M54 Model) thinking it was another model... I should have recognized the big a** rear butt hook.. oh well... I’ve taken a couple of pictures... it has a big heavy feed right, eject right action with a barrel chambered in 6.5x55. The barrel is approximately one inch in...

I’m casting wide net here and hopefully I will eventually get to the right information... Wh

62, Retired, three children and four grandchildren... Things were tight when the kids were growing up... But bought things that could be used for multiple sports... Now I buy what I want but am always looking for best value stuff I can resell and invest in things in my wish list... For...

Absolutely stunning!!! But, what in the World is the fluting on the barrel? It’s definitely something you don’t see very often... Cheers
