I don't know how I ended up with the same picture twice. I had another with the round going to the chamber. I have only loaded mine with high velocity loads if you want to call them that. To get into subsonic would require more money than I want to put out. I chose a 14 twist barrel so I would...

I built a Savage bolt action 458 SOCOM and to get it to feed I used 300 WSM magazines with a nylon ramp in the front epoxied of the magazine. I tried it with the unaltered mag and they nose dived like you describe. The rounds are short and extremely heavy but the Savage being a push feed just...

I use Farrell bases on my 98 actions. They offer them for Small Ring Mauser as well. https://www.kenfarrell.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=20_60&product_id=211

Mauser 98's cock on opening. If it's hard to close it must be a 96 or similar. They cock on closing. I personally have never done it but I believe you can convert a 96 to cock on opening. I have no idea what it entails.

I put a Ken Farrell rail on one of my 98 Muaser's that had a Redfield one piece base with three screws on it a while back. I called them and asked about the hole spacing but never got a positive answer as to would it match. I took a chance and ordered it anyway and it matched perfectly with the...

Not taking anything away from the " Hill Country " around Boerne but the " Brush Country " to the south has plenty of hog action. Take 35 and head toward Laredo and you will see what I mean. It seems anywhere there is cover or crops in Texas there are pigs. I have even seen them on spoil banks...

Like J E Custom I also live on the Gulf Coast and use the rechargeable safe dehumidifiers but I always treat my blued and stainless guns with Rusteprufe. For long term storage I will swab the bore with it but short term usually gets Rem Oil or Otis Dry Lube aerosol on a patch. The downside of...

Most of the sub loads I have messed with in my Blackout are with Lil' Gun and 208 grain A Max's. I loaded a few with Accurate 1680 for my AR but I only shoot supers in the AR, it's just too noisy for subs. I think most of us pig hunters are complacent in our inch plus groups with subs but you...

I dabbled a bit in subsonic .308's a while back but finally stuck to my 300 Blackout, it does the same thing and I bought it strictly for sub's so that's that. I started out with 220 grain Hornady round nose bullets that I hollow pointed and drilled about eight grains out of each one and fired...

The Wildcat is my garden gun. The Savage rides with us on the Polaris for Jackrabbit control at the ranch. I have a Hawke Eclipse scope on the Savage and a Tasco scope I believe came from WalMart on the Wildcat. It took some work to restock the Savage with a Boyd's stock. They don't leave much...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^What he said. I process 300 Blackout from Lake City also and swage and then cut a little lead angle on the mouth of the primer pocket with a chamfer tool. I chuck the tool in a drill press on the slowest speed and just touch each primer pocket for an instant and that's all it...

Good luck on your build and I want to address your first sentence and give a little personal advice in case you have an action with the smooth barrel nut. I just did my first Savage re-barrel with a youth model 11 that was a .243 Winchester and I replaced it with a 458 SOCOM barrel I ordered...

They said they were in a 900 Polaris. I wouldn't want to run over one in my 800. I ran one down with a Kawasaki Mule one time and like an idiot got out and tried to get a shot at it with a pistol in some high sunflowers. We met nose to nose and luckily it was only about a seventy five pound pig...

I have a Lyman neck turner kit with six mandrels I used one time. I have no further use for it if you want it. I don't know what the shipping from Texas would be maybe $6.50 in a flat rate box. I think I paid thirty five dollars for it. Make me an offer.

There's a guy on You Tube that modified an Axis in hopes of making a $500.00 1000 yard rifle. He pretty much guts one but uses all the factory parts with exception of the stock. The Social Regressive is his channel on You Tube.
