I have a montana 7mm-08 I would part with.

Anybody have a FN Commercial Mauser action they are willing to part with? Ideally would have a magnum bolt face and feed rails. I have an Apex .250 Ackley Magnum barrel that needs an action. Thanks, Jim

Hi. I will take it if still available. Also, I am curious if Apex Rifles is in any way related to the company owned by Sam May many years ago. I have a couple of Apex guns that my great uncle had done by Apex when they were in Southern California. -Jim

I am liking RCBS dies these days. One thing I have noticed is that some die brands seem to size a lot more than others. For example, I have some Hornady dies that while I do like, they seem to be similar in size to a RCBS small base die. If you have a really tight chamber and need that much...

Colorado wilderness ranch. Best I can tell it is a recreational subdivision in Craig CO. My buddy and I have access to a cabin there but I have no idea how good or bad the hunting is in that area.

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has any experience deer and elk hunting in the Craig, CO / Colorado Wilderness Ranch area. My buddy, (through his daughter's fiance) has access to a small cabin in the Colorado Wilderness Ranch on Grackle Road. He and I are thinking to go and check it out in the...

Found a picture of the gun with the scope. Does anyone recognize the scope that was on it?

With respect to modernizing old guns, seems to me that it is better to just leave them be and enjoy them for what they are. I have plenty of stainless/synthetic/cerakote guns to tote around in the woods. These two were obviously high quality builds of the time and have sentimental value so I...

I hadn’t even thought about the potential ivory on the stock. I haven’t ever seen a stock quite like this one. For the gentleman with the k4 - sure, I would be interested to see some pictures. -Jim

Hi everyone. I was recently gifted a couple of cool 1950’s vintage Mauser rifles that were owned by my great uncle Bill. One is a .30-338 and the other is a 7mm Mag. He lived in California and used them to hunt deer in CA and Elk in Colorado and other places. Anyway, neither gun retains the...

I will take it. Will PM you.

Not many rounds through it but how did it shoot?

Hoping you guys can help with a scope recommendation as I have never been that much into optics. Have a VX5HD 3-15 X 44 on a Fierce 300WM which is probably my best scope and I like it a lot. Now I am setting up a Tikka 7mm Mag and am wondering if anyone can recommend a similar but maybe more...

Any pics of groups?

Do you have any pictures of groups from the gun? I had a LAW 280 Ackley and I would have loved the gun except it had grouping issues (would always shoot 2 together and then third like 1.5 to 2" out). Interested but a little leery of the LAW guns after that experience.
