    What's up with todays' gun shops?

    I love the .264 Winnie. It's NUCLEAR on white tail deer :)

    Favourite quotes - Here's mine, Quite a long list. What's yours?

    "It's better to burn out, than fade away!" - The Kurgan (who might have stolen it from Joan Jett....) The Kurgan is much cooler than Joan Jett....

    New Weatherby Rifle

    I know they're ugly, but I'm building my second rifle with an A-Square Coil-Check stock. They just work at mitigating recoil. I was going to do a .460 Weatherby...and I guess I still could since I haven't reamed the chamber yet...and have a set of dies for it. But had settled on the .458 Lott...

    New Weatherby Rifle

    I have one of the later MK XXII's...the bolt action which is really an Anshutz 164 (which itself is excellent...I also have one of them that's older than me in .22magnum) with a Weatherby stock in .17 HMR. I really like it. I didn't realize they only made them a couple years and discontinued...

    New Weatherby Rifle

    I have an Accumark in .270 Weatherby and love it. It's a tack driver, and very fast. I shoot 130's at over 3300 ft/s with it. I've only ever had one deer take one step with it, and that was a bad shot on my part. Every other one they're dead before they hit the ground. I'd orignally bought...

    Spoke with Bill at Swift Bullets yesterday

    I'm an aerospace engineer. Just got a Colt Walker. I love guns. Building a .458 Lott Enfield right now. Having a custom reamer made for it. Sounds like I need to open a bullet making company. I've read all the theory. It's not difficult. Could I sell enough big bores to you guys to make a...

    1955 Winchester Model 70 In 270win

    I love Model 70's! I have a 7mm-08 Featherweight, a 7mm Rem Mag Custom Sporter Super Grade (killed my biggest white tail with it), a .264 Win Mag Super Grade curly maple (one of my favorites!), and a .270 Win Super Grade curly maple which is beautiful but seems to be jinxed as I never see a...

    Best 30mm rings

    I like Talley, but my 'smith advised me not to use the QD type so mine are all bolt on and I carry a screwdriver...

    Reamers .458 Lott vs. .450 Watts

    Wow! That's one big hole! I'm going to machine my action for scope bases and have a set of Talley's for it. I'll try open sights first and we'll see how bad it is before I try a scope on it :) I did spend the money and got a nice New England Custom Gun rear sight for it (along with their...

    Reamers .458 Lott vs. .450 Watts

    So I talked with my Smith today and I am going to spend the money and have a custom reamer made. It will be basically a .450 Watts with the case part extended slightly and the throat made to be close to the .458 Win Mag extended 0.3" and a half inch of freebore beyond that. Totally custom .450...
