416 Taylor great cartridge, no modes required on mk10 mag bolt face with std length action, easy to form brass, recoil will not knock your hat off.

I believe it could be repaired & re painted

Ruger 350 rem mag were short actions 1-12 twist i have one.

I own 2 identical Weatherby series 1 vanguards a 270 WSM & a 7MM Rem mag the WSM is the rifle in my avatar both will shoot 1 moa or better with 150 grain bullets, the 270 wsm appears to have less recoil than the 7mm , yes you can go up to170 grain bullets in the 7mm . Yes the Winchester wsm...

The joint replacement technology is excellent as a sufferer of rheumatoid arthritis i have had my right knee replaced, my left thumb joint replaced, my left wrist joint fussed with a plate & a bone graft with a bit from my hip, & 9 weeks ago my right hip replaced my wife thinks am part robot. I...

Some PPU ammo suffers from internal & external case corrosion i brought 2 boxes of 9.3x62 some tine ago i box was badly corroded i took it back & had it replaced i still buy PPU but look at it before leaving the store its a well known issue.

My advice is do not go cheap on the press a good cast iron not alloy press, from Redding, Hornady or Lyman, the Lee cast iron press is a good product . Dies Lee are ok & do the job other brands are better finished.Get a Electronic powder scale , a good priming tool, a chamfer tool for brass, Get...

In my younger days i had a Ruger 77 tang safety 458 win mag , Tiapan an Australian bullet manufacture, sadly now out of business made a 350 grain rolled in hollow point for the 45/70 called a SST, long before the Hornady of the same name. loaded to about 2600 fps they turned wild bores into...

I have never shot a leopard but many big pigs i think a lever action 45/ 70 or 444 Marlin with a red dot at close range would do the job, both are very good killers at 50 meters & closer & you have 5 shots in the magazine.

You can sand or shape with a rasp to any shape you want, finish with 400 grit paper & spray with satin polyurethane its finish looks just like the factory, i have done many of them easy to work & looks good.

Thank you great information.

Savage did a run of 250/3000 99s in the 1970s a 99A I Purchased one loaned it to an Army friend, he had a car accident in western QLD, it was in a gun bag in the boot, trunk for you yanks, it was stolen from the police holding yard where the car was taken, long before gun registration in...

Boyds make a RH stock for Zastava LKM70 it fits good but no cross bolts, but easy to fit 6 mm stainless threaded rod & drill outside holes with a 8 mm forester bit & fill holes with JB weld died black looks like factory if done with care.

I believe AI is a another step in the control of people by the woke governments agenda of re engineering our society . we do not need AI , you do not know what is real anymore.

I built a grendel in 2010 re barreled Ruger m77 mk2 in 7.62x39 with a 1-8 twist Pacnor, it is a great cartridge killed lot of pigs with it using 120 grain bullets . Also built a 6 mm ARC on a similar Ruger last year same thing at 6mm. these intermediate cartridges are easy to shoot.

30/30 WIN for new to me, my fathers M94 Winchester using 130 & 150 grain Speers with AR22I9 = H335. in Starline brass & 150 grain Berrys copper plated bullets with 9 grns of trail boss for about 1300 FPS. Groups about 3 inch at 50 meters i can not see good enough with buck horn sites, about to...

The 30/30 Winchester with 150 grain bullets will kill any pig on earth with the correct bullet placement.

I own 33 rifles 22LR to 375 H&H & 2 shot guns & have just refurbished my fathers 1975 WIN 94 30/30 stock & rust blued the sintered metal receiver, it has a very nice piece of walnut in the but stock. just starting to shoot it at the range lots, of fun with Berrys 150 grn copper plated bullets...

BLUE FLYER you are very skilled i am envious.

Great job

Hoppes no 9 in VIETNAM 1969 , The only tv set was in the guard house at the camp gate we use to go there to watch Star track when we were in camp & had a chance, one night a Salvation army officer was there cleaning HIS COLT M1911 COMMANDER with Hoppes no9 & drinking coffee i will never...

Cleaning my rifles is process i go through ingrained in to me by the army, may be unnecessary but i am compelled to do it . Yesterday i shot a 22 RF match at the local range about 90 rounds this morning i will clean out the carbon out of the bore wipe over the metal work & put the rifle away ...

I built a 318 WR on a FN M98 that was a 270 WIN. ALLEN SWAN gunsmithing in Brisbane Australia made the bbl he exports his bbls all over the world and are great people to deal with .

Being a owner of 6 Ruger m77 mk2s the mag box is one thing to look out for, as well as the action screw torque 65 inch lbs for front screw 35 for rear & about 20 for the middle free & float the bbl all of mine with the right ammo will put 3 shots into 1 moa or better, they are great rifles . A...

It is screwed on but its not the usual 6x48 thread its metric & appears to be a little smaller than 6x48. i have 4 of these rifles in 375 H&H, 6.5X55 , 9.3X62 & 8X57 they require a little work to clean them up but could not be happier with the results, all steel construction, hammer forged bbls...

Bob must be still under the influence of the anesthetic when he had his knee replaced;)

Reload & you do not have to be reliant on factory ammo, purchase components in lots that work for your rifles in bulk, & assemble it when you need it . As i shoot 318 WR & 350 REM MAG i need to do this.

Having shot a lot of wild pigs over my life i am convinced that round nose & flat tip bullets 30/30 style in 308 dia 150 to 180 grain appear to kill quicker than spitzer shape at 150 meters & closer.

Yes i had one for a short time brutal rifle. also had one in 22 hornet that i should never have sold.

At $5000.00 tell him he is dreaming :)

I do not know, i have purchased both small and large S&B primers & they are tight & do not fit into their brass i have a K&S primer pocket uni-former that is driven by a cordless drill use a little wd40 as lube it fixes the pockets so any brand primer seats with ease. i have a lot of S&B 7x57...

S & B brand brass & ammo have shallow primer pockets , easily fixed with a primer pocket uni former.

Bob Good luck with your knee i am 2 weeks post hip replacement ,have good days & bad days my 2 sons are away pig & rabbit hunting i wish i was with them its boring sitting on my ass waiting to heal. Thank god we have the skilled surgeons to do this type of work or we would be screwed.

Nice try Bob, about 1 year ago i was lucky to find a genuine Ruger laminated stock for it , fitted the De accelerator pad off the plastic stock & put the plastic stock in the fire. as i had to cut the back off it to salvage the recoil pad. How are you knees going ?

Keep your REM 788.

6 years in the Aust Army 2 years in Vietnam , Army rifle team & hunting all my life , competitive pistol , rifle & shotgun shooter . God knows how many, i would like 1$ for every shot, i would own a safe full of Rigby Park West & Holland & Holland Rifles & a Rolls Royce with a driver.

As i get older i am getting rid of my rifles with plastic stocks & magazines for me older rifles all wood & steel are are much more appealing . the only plastic rifle i own is a RUGER American in 7.62x39 at least it has a metal magazine & its amazingly accurate .75 moa 3 shots . As for stocks a...

I have a factory Zastava M70 in 375 H&H it has a short follower like yours & it feeds very well, i got a longer follower marked 375 from Brownells & it did not feed well at all. i would leave it as is.

Your rust blue looks, good i do a lot of it messy & time consuming but the results are worth it.

Bob i do not know , he does not have a chronograph, he originally wanted 25 / WSM but Swans son talked him in to the 6.5.

My sons shooting buddy has a 6.5 270 WSM Allan Swan must have a chamber reamer as he did the rebarrel on a Browning A bolt it was a 325 WSM ORIGINALLY.

A left hand Zastava LKM70 M98 in 30/06 or 270 W would be a good choice will feed 7x57 with no mods a bbl from Shilen, Douglas, or Pac nor WITH 1-8 or 1-9 twist would be a good start. OR A RUGER 77 AS MS 9X56 SAID. I HAVE A RH RUGER 77 MKII WITH A SHILEN 1-9 TWIST IN 7X57 USE TO BE A 270 WIN.

Yes every body tells me a hip is not as bad as a knee i had my right knee replaced in 2010 not a lot of fun but a very good result , i am getting tired of the pain at night.

Its a short action Bob.

BOB if you were not using old 243 bbls for a walking stick you may do better ;). I am getting my right hip replaced in June, its no fun getting old, my last trip to the range my grandson had to put my 100 meter targets up for me i struggle to walk that distance. good luck with your knee. I...

Blue flyer , i envy your equipment & your ability, great work, i had Swan gunsmiths re barrel my vanguard to 243 AI it shoots 3 shot .75 moa groups with 90 grain Hornady eldx bullets at 3270 fps with Starline brass & RL19 out of 24 INCH bbl. I annealed the cases after the fire forming. i would...
