Greetings all, I am a former Marine and on active duty now with the National Guard in Iraq. Currently I'm a door gunner aboard a UH-60 Blackawk. Enough about me. I am thinking of building a replica Model 70 Sniper rifle pre M40. I can't find any info or pictures to help with my build, as I want...
.308 62 deg - elevation 1220' - no crono.
distance 109 paces, damn close to 109 yds.
peep sights, front sand bag rest, rear bag with cross arm adjustment.
Brass, LC Match, fl sized w/ sb dies, CCI 34 primers, OAL 2.8"
47.5 gr shot the best with a vertical spread on about 2.5" and a 1.5" width...
just picked one of these up in 243win for $350, I haven't shot it yet, it has less than 100rds through it. I was wondering if any of you guys have experience with this rifle, and what twist they are?
thanks, Steve
Local money pit got in some Winchester white box 7.62x51 147gr. FMJ ammo for $16.99/20. I noticed the brass is WCC marked, and has the little NATO circle doohickey on it. Would this ammo be worthwhile for general plinking in a DPMS LR-308? Is the brass any good for reloading? Are the primers...
I just bought about 300 pounds of reload bullets which are mostly .308.
There are 1000 Win silvertip 150 gr bullets that I want to sell. Does anyone know what they are worth???
I found a guy here in the Richmond, VA area that has 5000 WLR primers he is selling for $50/1000. I'd buy them, but I have a pretty large stock of benchrest primers already. Here is a link to his ad.

Not a target gun... but this seems like a good place to pick people's brains
Gotta pick the optimum length and profile for barrel.
Gun will be used for spot and stalk / stand hunting gun. Looking at the range of stocks available for the new centerfeed short action.
I was thinking barrel...
Any one have trouble seating federal primers in the primer pockets of Winchester brass? these are once shot brass that I get from a local range. I average about 2 to 3 smashed primers when loading 50 rounds at a time. Im using a Dillon 550b press.
Hello. I need some help identifying what exact model 52 I have...
I bought it for $50.00 at an older ladies house (estate sale). It was sitting in a corner and was somewhat rusty ( most of which came off with gentle steel wooling).. Anyway - it has a barrel band near the end of the stock...
Has anyone seen or used it yet? Im stuck in Condor country and Im looking for some rimfire to dink squirrels with. Nobody has it in stock and they want about $120-150 for 500 rounds. Im just looking for any insite on accuracy or performance. Im not expecting match accuracy but hoping for one...

Here is the skinny...... Took this on trade from another Hide member but now want to make room for a M40A3. Former hide member took the rifle in on trade and we cannot remember who original builder...
I found some of this old ammo from around 25 yrs ago in the garage and
wanting to know if I can shoot it? It looks like new. I see they don't make it anymore, only in 180 gr.
Saw one at my local shop with peep sights and an old leather sling. I think it said made in 1952. It was a little worn from use and had a nice trigger. What can you guys tell me about this rifle?
Unlike a lot of people here, I really like the Model 70 but I don't know about the New Model 70. A place in Gillette is getting a couple in and from the pictures I really like the looks of the New Model 70 Featherweight.
I and seriouly thinking of grabbing the featherweight in 270 to go with...
