Thanks guys. Inside of bolt was a rust bucket. Cleaned it and lubed and cleaned chamber good. Hopefully, that does the trick. Waiting for HS stock to get here this week and then will take to the range to see.

Yes, closes easily on empty chamber and it is not every loaded round - only like 1 in 5 or 1 in 10

My buddy has a 700 in 30-06 that he has had for years with no issues. He asked me to take a look at it because it started to become very difficult to close the bolt on an unfired round maybe 1 out of every 5 shells. This is factory ammo and it has had the issue with several ammo brands. I...

I am new to reloading and am working up a load for a 257 weatherby. I am using barnes 100 gr ttsx, fed 215 and H1000 powder. Barnes load data for TSX is min 68 and max 72. Barnes list COAL as 3.17. I used a hornady lock n load gauge to measure distance to lands. Barnes recommends .05 off...

I was able to pick up some standard 215's. Are they a direct replacement for the 215M's or do I need to work up another load?

There seems to be a shortage of these primers. Does anyone know what the deals is - is there any reason to believe I will be able to find these soon or should I look at alternatives?

Anyone know if Cooper has a Remington 700 footprint? Would love to use one of their stocks on a Remington build. Thanks

I have an old 1903A3 that my Dad sporterized back in the 50's. I put a timney trigger on it and a B&C stock and pillar bedded, but the accuracy still sucks. Shoots 3 or 4 inch groups at 100 yds with most ammo. This gun has a lot of sentimental value and I use it for whitetails because the...

I hunted 47 type 2 last year and had a great hunt, but you don't have any chance of drawing a regular tag there as 2nd choice. The way the draw works is that unused PP tags convert to the random draw as part of assigning 1st choices - so to determine if there are 2nd choice tags available, you...

The way the draw works is that they award tags based on everyone's first choice picks and then go back through everyone's 2nd choice. So the only way you can draw a 2nd choice tag is if there are less first choice applicants than tags available. With a regular tag, there are not very many...

My 13 year old son and I both drew 47 tags. We will be hunting Oct 8-12. Never hunted the unit before. Any advice on how to hunt/ where to find a decent goat at this time of year would be greatly appreciated. Don't mind using the shoe leather to get to them. Thanks!

I just bought a Bell & Carlson carbelite stock for my trusty old Springfield. I need to cut a bolt notch in it to accomodate my turned bolt. Are there any tricks to doing this or should I just go to town with a dremel tool and file? Thanks
