What brand of dies? I'm using CH4D dies and no problems with either Hornady or RWS brass though the latter has short cases and inconsistent rim thickness.

Smooth crimp groove does not resemble current production on their website with "reeding" in the groove. Perhaps an older model?

Clients would pay good money to have one of those hanging on the wall. Could be a helluva fund raiser for conservation.

What caliber and how much gas? Different velocity can produce quite different deformation in same bullet.

Xtreme ergonomics. :D

It shares the prize with SKS. Perhaps military guns should be disqualified.

I saw in the BBC news that a couple of guys were busted down there when one tried to get on a plane with a bunch of them in individual plastic capsules. Some people's taste in pets! I never could understand owning a snake or iguana. Zero personality. Just look at it in a glass box. At least...

Or diet pop, rice cakes, and Richard Simmons. :D

Unless the bedding underneath the action has massive gaps I wouldn't worry about it. A few bubbles here and there won't affect overall rigidity. Might not look first class but should shoot fine. Who sees what's underneath the action anyway?

Looks like JB Weld was used for bedding. Shouldn't be that hard to match color.

Hegseth needs to read his history books. Nothing virtuous about the Crusades. Those guys were land-grabbing thugs waving crosses. The Muslims were fine with making Jerusalem free to all pilgrims ... as long as they behaved themselves. But that wasn't good enough for the Popes (who were also...

This is my 98 Mauser 404 wearing a matte finish "tacticool" 30mm 1-4x Bushnell and very low old Weaver one-piece mount. I actually had to trim/polish a tiny bit from the bolt handle. It was very slightly brushing the front edge of ocular bell. With this stock's semi monte carlo cheek rest...

A couple of remade WWII man killers. Czech vz.24 98 Mauser in 404 Jeffery on top and 30-06 Springfield 03A3 below. I built the 404 and I rebuilt the Springfield my dad sporterized in 1962. 404 wears 1-4x30 Bushnell and Springfield has 3-9x Nikon. Both have Warne QD rings and Winchester...

I don't believe a tight cheek weld is particularly desirable or important for any style hunting. As I've said many times, the shooter should be able to close his eyes, quickly mount the rifle, open eyes, and the iron sights or crosshairs should instantly be where they should be. This requires...

Your eyes are a LOT better than mine to be attempting 300 yard shots at game with any kind of iron sight setup. I'd be lucky to hit an elephant in the boiler room at that range ... not like the bullet would have enough gas left at that range to kill it if I did.
