    178 amax+H4350 for 30-06

    Unknown headstamp - .308 Win & .30-06

    Picked up some spent brass at the range recently. The .308 Win was headstamped "CAVIM 83". The .30-06 was headstamped "HXP 63". Military stuff I presume, but not from L.C. Some other NATO country of origin?

    Gunsmithing I need to rebarrel my savage F111 30-06

    Anyone know where I can get a barrel for the best price? I would also like to turn it into a sniper weapon so I would like a long heavy barrel and I am guessing a different stock. Either way stock or heavy barrel I am not sure what my options are, I am new and don't know a whole lot, thanks guys.
