I've always wanted to build a copy/ close replica of Carlos Hathcock's Model 70 and about a month ago this rifle sort of fell into my lap! As it stands right now it's definitely not a replica by any means but I couldn't pass it up and I figured it would be a great way to kick my but into gear...
When I was younger, my friend had a little 22LR rifle that was single shot, octagonal barrel and was really cool. You had to insert the cartridge right into the chamber, then push a little thing forward and the hammer was behind the "thing." When you fired it, you had to cock the hammer, pull...
I'm pretty new here and this will be my first thread started. With that I need help/advice I picked up a Winchester Model 70 (Pre 64) according to the SN the action was made in 1954.
Its chamber in .243 win and came with a bedded stock and bull barrel and a Leopold scope base (first thing I did...
Hey folks,
First posting here. Thinking about building a rifle on a winchester model 70 pre 64. This would be a long action ( 30-06 length)
Primary purpose would be positional shooting competition ( psr style) with hunting white tail being a secondary.
Questions are
a) will a 6.5 creedmoor...
I know a number of members here have interests outside of tactical shooting so I thought I might pose a question. Charlie Russell and Frank Linderman were good friends. Many people know of Russell and admire his western art. Linderman also achieved some noteriety publishing books and magazine...
I recently acquired a 1956 52C heavy barrel which, judging by the dusty crud in the bolt assembly, probably hasn't been used in decades. I want to get it going again and fit some aperture sights. Here's what I'm starting with:
It has a marksman stock that appears aftermarket, because the...
I Guys Gals whatever,
I hope this isn't a dumb question but I have a Winchester Model 70 XTR sporter magnum in 300 win mag. I like the gun but wondering if this is something that is worth putting time and money into like a nice stock, scope, trigger. etc. or should I sell and pick up something...
I just got a 1955 M 63 from GunBroker. I'm very excited about it, the classic little rifle kinda "speaks to me" LOL
Anway, are there some more mod 63 owners on here, any advice, tricks, tips, etc that I should keep in mind? I haven't owned or shot one before, I found one that was affordable...
I've been attempting to determine a value for this rifle for years. Something I've owned for around 18 years, and I've never seen another one anywhere. I've had a standing offer of over 2K, but it came so fast that I was afraid the value was "buyer" favored. Any Ideas ?
thanks,
Found some Winchester 7.62 147gr for $10 per 20 and before I drop the coin, is the brass any good for reloading? I figure its thicker NATO brass and not a true 308? Looks like its annealed? I have 10 boxes on hold but I could get a lot more.
Also found some Fiocci, poor spelling but its their...
I have been curious of the ballsitics of the new 220/300 WM load. I was going to build a 284 Winchester for 1000+ yds, then thought twice after seeing the new 300 WM load. However...after running numbers, the 284 Win will equal or better ( depending on load) velocity, drift and energy up to 1500...
I went all over town today looking for a reasonable alternative to the $15.99/100 CCI Green Tag that my Savage MkII likes. Walmart was totally out of any SV .22. They can never tell me when they will get more in. Gander Mtn. didn't have crap. My last stop was Dick's. They had bricks of...
Hello again all ... I'm just starting a Remington short action build in .223 and am pondering what I want to do for a mag system.
What I don't want is the woeful Remington 700 alloy floor plate.
There are a few DM systems availabe in .223 and one is being developed here in Australia, but I was...
Anybody running this? I'm looking for a good starting powder for a 243 Winchester and the 105 grain A-max out of a 28 x 1/8" Walther.
I'd like to stick with Hodgdon Extreme powders (temp insensitivity) unless someone has a compelling reason not to.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Guys,
Correct me if I am wrong but as I understand it, there are very slight differences between the .308 Winchester and 7.62 mm NATO rounds. I believe the headspace is slightly different, and 7.62 NATO will give you chamber pressure of about 50,000 psi whereas .308 will give you either 62,000...
