    tempering mag springs/oven

    I'm not sure if I can order 15 rnd mag springs. Too many new laws in NY to even keep track.

    tempering mag springs/oven

    I was mainly wondering if there was some simple fix that I had not heard of. I have an M1 carbine that has a few faulty mag springs. These are a bit harder to come by, especially now in NY state

    tempering mag springs/oven

    Has anyone tried to stretch worn magazine springs and retemper using an oven? If so what temperature, how long, quench method,etc? Waste of time?

    Rangefinders

    Looking to get a new rangefinder(currently have the Busnell Scout arc 1000). I would like to be able to range deer and trees out to 1000-1200yds. I've been looking at the Vortex Ranger 1500 and the Sig Sauer Kilo 2000. Thoughts and suggestions please

    Favorite 22-250 load?

    I have a Rem.700 vls in 22-250 and have shot 55 grain Nosler spitzers with 34 grains of 4064 with okay groups. Looking to tighten groups and shoot out to about 500yds. I'm not sure what twist the barrel has. Anyone know what most of the vls 700's had? Thanks

    Rem.700 5r 300wm
