    How do the New Winchester guns compare to the old? Model 70

    I helped my FIL bed his shadow into a Boyds stock. The action was a piece of shit compared to the action I used on my last 300WM which was a classic sporter gun. You could see the cost savings on the underside of the receiver. I will see if I can get him to take side/side pics of the two...

    How do the New Winchester guns compare to the old? Model 70

    I generally don't throw any of the money away. Barrels and stocks if nice on the rifle usually sell to cover the cost spent on them. So far I have managed $400-$500 for Action, trigger, and bottom metal so far. When I was home I could find classics for $600 and under and super grades for...

    How do the New Winchester guns compare to the old? Model 70

    Next build is in the works, I have my stock and my barrel. Not being back in the states its been hard to get out and search pawn shops and gun stores for a Win 70 action with the CRF feature (I think that's what I am looking for) . I really like the claw extractor models but refer back to...

    Gunsmithing Ackley Improving a #1

    The advantage to the 280AI is you can get Nosler brass ready to go. I use it in my hunting rig but fireform in the LR rig.

    Gunsmithing Ackley Improving a #1

    I have a No1 Stainless in 25-06 that will shoot under 1/2" with reloads. Only thing that isn't stock is a Hicks Accurizer was installed and forend bedded. My buddy helped me with it. We did pre groups and post groups and it knocked a full inch off the size with the same load. I did have...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper HS 5-15x44 Mil-Dot

    I don't know why they would Disco it cause it was a VERY good seller for them. It is a helluva good scope for the $400 they were when I picked mine up.

    Gunsmithing How much camming is needed?

    +1 for Dan but be aware some get rubbed wrong with his opinions... There is a smith here on the hide that also does the service but I have a problem who pin their business and religion in the same bag.

    Gunsmithing When Gunsmith Won't Return Call or Email

    Pretty sure I know the smith just thinking about your location and the smiths within 160 miles. I would also say 10 weeks is a give or take if you dropped off every single part and only needed assembly and finish. I have waited so long on rifles before that I forgot I ordered them until...

    Lost a MacBook Pro..... :(

    It's a solid lesson for sure due to the massive amount of potential life wrecking information contained on such device. I spent most of yesterday moving such information off of the PC I am taking with me as it contained most of the same information the MACbook did.

    Overseas work tax help ?

    Pay it... If your only going to be there 9 months then you will not meet the 330 requirement. I have been getting hosed on this in the last couple of years because I have only been taking 6 month contracts and working in the US the other 6 months. Uncle sugar is going to get his money so...

    My Win Model70 (7mag) by Phoenix Custom Rifles

    Dogknots don't just stay in the middle.... Sometimes they get to the end. Either way its a beautiful rifle but it would be hard to accept the MB done in that fashion when completely blended MB's are easy to do and look 100x better.... Looks are whatever in this game. If it was your choice...

    My Win Model70 (7mag) by Phoenix Custom Rifles

    I had a 300wm built on a classic action and my FIL has a Snyder built 300 on the push feed action. That's a great lookin rifle but the muzzle break just screams half assed..Dogknot muzzle breaks are a thing of the past these days. I dunno if I would use another win 70 for a build over a rem...

    Palmetto State Armory has AR15 LPK/less FCG $30

    I ordered the same thing from brownells the other day and found the trigger/hammer/sear and other parts. I think I'm into the LPK for less than $75 and that includes the fact I had to go with a $20 NIB-X hammer instead of $9 regular hammer.

    Here is an old commercial you will never see again. LOL!

    Those were the good ole days and the sad part is Im not even that old... I remember you could go out to just about any guys truck in the school parking lot and find a rifle during deer season, or shotgun for dove season... Then Columbine happened! Living in a small town you go to school, and...
