I have a SWFA 4-16 FFP which I purchased for hunting but decided after receiving it that in 4 power you could barely see the reticle. I put it on a long range target gun which it works fine for and purchased on with SFP for hunting. i have a couple lighted reticle of other brands and lower power...

Nice deer. I sure she was very proud!

Contact game officials and land owner and let them decide.

I have two A-Bolts that have been rebarreled. The company I used would not do a stainless Browning because they said it is to soft of stainless.

What grain bullet(s) is it set up for and twist rate? Is it ADL (blind magizine), BDL(floor Plate) or CDL (DBM)?

Great question for someone looking for quality on a budget. Looking forward to responses.

I did some research a few years ago and you are right, carbon fiber is an insulator and can actually be slower to cool. Proof Research is suppose to have a process that dissipates the heat.

Should I add that I did not have this problem with the factory barrel. I guess I should assume that the factory barrel had a lot more freebore built in to eliminate this problem?

Okay thanks. I did not think about the Ogive.......still learning. I have decided I want to shoot heavier bullets, so I may need to get the chamber recut. The barrel only has a half dozen rounds through it. For many reason I just have not shot this rifle since I had it rebarreled Any...

In my rifle the freebore should be the same whether I am shooting 165 or 180's if the COAL is the same............shouldn't it? Again I only had problems with the 180's sticking.

Twelve years ago before I knew anything like I have learned from this site, a buddy of mine took my 300 Weatherby to his smith to true and rebarrel. At that time all I knew was more speed, so I was set on shooting Nosler 165 BT. I only shot the gun a few times and actually thought I was...

I too thought the lower the better (fairly new to all the technical stuff) so on my most recent rifle I put low rings on a picatinny, but I found it very uncomfortable to shoot. I had to raise the stock on my shoulder to get my eye aligned with the scope. In the past I always used high rings...

Didn't the 25-06 use to be the quintessential western caliber. Mule deer, antelope and elk, all have fallen to this round. Go for it.

Thanks...........sounds like it will be a great project for me. I use my 223 to shoot hogs (head shots drop them in their tracks) in citrus groves I managed in FL (and a few coyotes). It has been sitting in the closet for a few years collecting dust since I changed job. I have a an old college...

That is all good to know. I guess I should have asked some question on here before my last rebarrel/cartridge change. I purchase another B&C and had a #5 contour barrel installed based on what Stocky's told me. After cutting the channel out, I thought to myself this sure did not take much out...
