    Tikka low or extra low rings

    I have a DNZ Game Reaper 1 piece low 30mm mount for Tikka if you are interested. $50 shipped. Had a SWFA 3x15-42 mounted in it for a while. I like to move scopes around when i change barrels/cartridges, so i went with a rail and rings on my Tikkas.

    Tikka t3x 7mm rem mag load question

    Recently picked up the same gun on GB from a seller in the south; stainless version. found some 150 Scenars and Petersen brass online at reasonable a price point. Backed out the trigger adjustment screw all the way, breaks at 2lbs. bedded the barreled action in a laminated wood stock with a...

    6.5 PRC reloading issue (not clickers)

    what size comparator are you using? the .420? Never had neck dents or seen neck dents....... many shoulder dents though full length sizing 6.5 PRC Hornady brass, if i am not careful. The slightest amount of lube from my fingers gets transferred onto the shoulder while picking up the brass by the...

    What is better than the Weatherby?

    Im on the other side of the fence; really like reloading belted magnums over non belted mags.

    Primer sale on Gun Broker

    i see all the crazy prices on gun broker, specifically primers and powder seemingly sold by every day people. How are the products being shipped by a normal every day person? Aren't there federal regulations and licenses required for shipping those items and stiff penalties for not having the...

    Power Pro 4000-MR Powder

    Here is my 2 cents on this powder. Was excited to give this a go. Saw that the powder was available and had to give it a try. Its easy to throw consistent charges either manually or automated; flows like liquid so to speak. Started an initial work up with this powder in 3006 stainless ABolt and...

    New Leupold Mark 3HD / Zeiss Conquest V4 (the sub ~20oz scope choice)

    I have VX6HD and Razor LHT. No VX5hd yet..... I just got the LHT, haven't used it in the field other than looking at objects at last light.... when its dim to your eye and hard to make out objects, then look thru the scope and it seems to brighten a little and objects are clear. SO far it seems...

    New Leupold Mark 3HD / Zeiss Conquest V4 (the sub ~20oz scope choice)

    i could not find anything that fit my needs at 16oz. I think the tube ends up getting pretty thin at that weight sacrificing some durability, unless you end up with a short stubby model, but that ends up with a cramped scope tube to work with in order to setup the right eye relief mounted low on...

    New Leupold Mark 3HD / Zeiss Conquest V4 (the sub ~20oz scope choice)

    for me, with the options available today, a 3x zoom is a non starter.

    Which annealing machine?

    Working in the basement rules out propane for me. Carbon Monoxide could be an issue, a path not worth navigating. Went with a Fluxeon Annie water cooled unit, bottle of water conditioner and 750* templeque. No additional accessories. The timer is .1 sec adjustable. Using around 4.2 sec for a 308...

    Gun check, scope check. Now what?

    I am guessing that everyone has different ways to go about it. Here is my method in case you may find it helpful. Most of the time i will buy a low and medium height set of rings to start with for a scope with a 30mm tube and 42mm to 52mm objective lens, trying to mount the scope as low as...

    Another Hornady brass thread!

    No split necks here in 6.5 CM Hornady brass, just retired a few 10 times fired cases due to thinning above the case head that showed up as the "shiny ring'. primer pockets were all tight. The cases were annealed and trimmed after every third firing. Brass was FL sized bumping shoulder .002"...
