    Unfortunately the Japanese BLR can not be rebored unless it is the takedown model. The old steel receivers can

    Let's See Your Lever Action

    Mine MUST be gripped at the forearm. If I just put it on a front rest, it will completely miss the target at 100. If I put it shooting sticks, it will shoot 12" high at 100 yards. If I grip the forearm and place my wrist inside the V of the shooting stick, it nails the bullseye. (I should...

    Let's See Your Lever Action

    Do you know if the 358 BLR has a heavier barrel than the other standard cartridges? The forearm is listed as a different part number. I have always wanted to try free floating the forearm

    Browning BLR 308win. In retrospect I wish I would have went with the 358win bc it doesnt like 180gr bullets. It doesn't knock things down half the time but they never go far. It accompanies everywhere when shots are under 200 yards Pictured a number of years ago

    375 Raptor cartridge

    That's what I was afraid of. I assume you were pushing to max?

    375 Raptor cartridge

    I have a spare Savage action and a bull barrel synthetic stock laying around. If I go with the Raptor I would probably buy a carbon fiber barrel and call it a day. It should be 7 1/2 pounds scoped and with the load I originally stated should only recoil 30 pounds (which is the very most it could...

    375 Raptor cartridge

    Thanks all Regarding significant recoil, 5 years ago I would have said it wasn't a problem; today a shooting session can cause a cervical headache that could last a couple days up to a couple months of varying intensity.

    375 Raptor cartridge

    Greetings all, I haven't posted in a while. Reason for this post, I own two 375HH and still trying to work through some life-impacting upper body injuries - carrying a heavy rifle does not appear to be in the cards for me. 375 Raptor ---This sort of 375-08 cartridge has intrigued me and I do...

    Question on the primed brass. A competing store offering the exact same product advertises to anticipate damaged necks due to shipping. Do you find these these are ready for powder and bullets?

    Americans Not Taking Paid Vacations

    We don't get 40 hours of work done anyway. We sit in the office for 8 hours mindlessly playing on our phone or shopping on Amazon on work computers for half of it...or at least just staring at the screen daydreaming. Management believes in 40 hours because that's just what is engrained in the...

    Americans Not Taking Paid Vacations

    Slowly and surely we were slipping backwards 100 years for worker rights and along came covid. It came at a critical time and it will have lasting effects, some good some bad; mostly good. The time for the 32 hour week is now. Research backs it up. The time for mandatory vacation is long...

    Beginner left hand hunter

    A lever action 243 will work but imo you aren't going to get 300 yards out of it on a coyote size target due to a heavier trigger and forarm pressure on the barrel. But I think 150 yards is certainly very doable and 200 not out of the question depending on the shooter. I think the only ones...
