I know you probably don't want to hear it but maybe repair it ? I am pretty sure that you can dremel or drill away a bit of wood under the tang and glass bed that area as well as push some epoxy into the crack and it will hold.

Excellent point. I bet more animals walk or run away than are missed. And writers seem more concerned with selling you the latest 300 wizz bang calibre with a 2- 50 6 dials to twiddle scope. 1/2 moa is pretty useless if you never get to pull the trigger.

I have generally just used parafin waxes like Nugget and Kiwi from my school shoes through to my workboots today. Yes we had a school uniform and black leather shoes and my kids still do ! I have now started using beeswax based polish and I am in the process of getting some beeswax and making my...

In the thread Regulation: Bullet Weight vs Velocity, they discuss this topic. One member had success with a lighter bullet at a higher velocity. Maybe give that thread a read. It seems it can be done. My feeling is that combination of velocity and bullet are going to work well together. Lead...

Teak is about 50 % heavier than walnut. I think it is harder as well and more prone to splintering. It also has high silica and so dulls tools.

If you are referring to a bevel so that you can drop a round in the chamber and close the bolt then I wouldn't advise that. If you practise using your thumb and left hand to push the round into the magazine, you can reload just as quick and more reliably.l

I have a magnetic spirit level which I put on the square bridge of the action to set the rifle level. I have also used the express sight base as well.Then I hung a bolt or nut on a string from a tree in my yard and use that to align the reticle. I haven't had a problem with the scope moving...

All gun solvents are carbon solvents including paint thinners etc. As we are carbon based, it also damages our bodies so we should all wear gloves. All are carcinogenic

I have started using a sling in the last couple of years. I carried it in hand for years but a sling keeps it pointing in a safe direction at all times.

My 458 lott is about 9.75 lbs and I don't have a scope on it. Most people who have shot it say it is not a big kicker. I added some lead weight in the butt to bring it to that weight, probably a pound. I also believe balance and stock design have a big impact on recoil.

Why don't you try and heat the metal magazine box with a heat gun/ paint removing gun. Maybe tape off the nearby finish first. Heat pops metal off the epoxy - it is just a question of how much heat is needed.
