    M118LR all the same regardless of the name on the box?

    Clear, had to go back and read your edits. I stay away from the TMK's because their longer length using 2.8" magazine length settings ate enough case space to compress the load and up the pressures at the velocity i wanted, which blew some primer pockets w TMK, but not the SMK. That's my...

    Sinister Dave, Sir, Merry Christmas, and, fwiw, the 169 smk has managed to impress me. To the rest of you, MC, HNY, and waste all the time, components, and cash you want on 175's and trying to copy M118LR or MK318, it just ain't the king of the hill. It was good at the time, served it's...

    M70 ish

    Historically, military use, removed the springs, and similarly hard kicking guns also had the spring "unset" bc the combined recoil and a hard reset broke many a scope. All of my centerfires are not spring set, my rimfires on the other hand are spring set. Best to you.

    M70 with Unertl 8x/12x, mounting options?

    What caliber ? The actions were rated 7mmRemMag, 300WM, 338WM, 375H&H, 458WM, and not recommended for larger calibers. They don't have the strength of the large ring mauser or rem700. Some of the later stainless actions have been built on bigger, but most smiths aren't really into it.

    Possible active shooter in Kentucky

    Rumor is this is a domestic violence thing.... and the knowledge of mrX and his behavior is coming from immediate family.... I wish the gendarmes would be more forthcoming.
