The question is if you have the license anyways. OK has a bigfoot license now IIRC. Or maybe it never officially went through. But they were trying!

I've always said nice things about ya'll --- don't go being a bad influence trying to tempt me into getting a Rigby ;)

It kills me that ya'll got that nice Norma 458 Win like 2 months after I source a bunch of once fired for the same price! Glad ya'll are sourcing the good stuff though!

Going to be honest here, and this may be a bit of a side bar, but I notice that three pages in not a single person has mentioned US Optics. I'm not intensely familiar with them --- I've got a FDN-10x that I haven't mounted that is destined for a 7mm RM build. But I'm just curious if folks in...

Look at all ya'll and your fancy choices. Nothing beats a CenterPointe.

I mean, there's always this as an option:

I got mine because it was a RPR Gen two in a custom midnight bronze cerakote with 300 round and the guy wanted like 900 for the package. I'm a sucker for a deal. Nowadays I rarely even shoot it, because it's so easy to shoot tight groups with factory ammo. It feels like cheating so I wind up...

Sorry, hate to say it but they are long gone at this point.

I mean, I wouldn't have said not if it was the EP5 but this is what was available. For $9 I wasn't going to complain too much though :D I really need to make a scope testing rig for situations like this. I wonder if something like this exists and I've not ever seen it. The idea being that...

Thats an idea --- I've got a RPR Gen 2 in 6.5 currently wearing a Sightron SIII 6-24. I suppose moving that to a different rifle is an option. I need to remember what all rifles I have that I need to put optics on. I've got like 6 in the boneyard that don't have homes at the moment.

This --- IIRC the regulations are that a passenger can carry one declared mercury medical thermometer. Weather agencies can carry their fancy ones subject to packing restrictions. Mercury will react with aluminum and cause "holes in aircraft" which is widely seen as a "bad thing" as those can...

Nice... Looking through it and doing a hands test it seems clear and solid enough. Just debating on what it might work on for me if nothing else.

I recently got an absolutely insane deal on an Arken 6-24x50 FFP scope. Anyone have any experience with them good bad or ugly?

Kind of unrelated, but for any 7x64 fans, American Reloading has had some great deals on brass. Depending if their sale is 25% or 40% off (like it is today) you can get 100 pieces primed nickle for around 50 bucks.

The RCBS has a star on my walk of fame. But if you didn't already have it and just needed to pop one loose then McGyver's Kinetic Hammer would be fine. Generally the RCBS is preferred though.

Kind of this. Drill a hole but only make it small enough that when you put the bullet in the hole with a shellholder on the bottom, the shellholder makes it so that the whole thing doesn't go through. Then smack it against something hard --- preferably over a soft (to save the bullet) surface...

Running a search on Ammoseek there's a fair amount out there ~5.50 and up for 500gr, then some at ~7ish at 400gr. But zero results for 350gr. Edit: I should probably note that I checked @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION as well, but nothing is showing in stock there --- but I'd still bookmark them for...

Not to derail from OP's initial thread too much, but @D.M.V nails it. I learned to reload due to acquiring a 375 one day. I think my initial uninformed purchases that I made to get rolling (including bullets, primers and powder) cost me about $800. IIRC, I made about 1k worth of ammo within a...

The closest I come is that I have a stash of 458 lott without a home.

I'm not a Delta person, but I'm taking the shorter pathway unless you have access to a lounge network for the layover and/or plan to get out of the airport during that timeframe.

@gprippers --- The Brass is inbound. Tracking number in your PM's. Cheers, Chris

IIRC Redfields history was "out of business! Bought by someone else for a come back! Out of business! Bought by someone else for a comeback!" a few times. Most recently when they went out of business a Chinese company bought them and they did a rebrand under the name "T-Eagle" which was...

IMHO you're good --- some people get rightfully cautious. I spend a lot of time on some of the local OK boards as well, and they're a whole different world when it comes to selling since people meet FTF. I sold one thing on here in response to a WTB post and it was a nightmare. That wasn't on...

Obviously the only way to settle this is for me to invite @Buckmaster1 and @Wishfulthinker580 to Red Castle. If he can bring the rifle, I'll bring the ammo and then I'll take some pictures and stuff :D

First off, let me just say that @gillettehunter has absolutely gone above and beyond! I didn't know much about Shepard scopes, but thought that with the magnification range, it'd sit pretty on a project of mine. After I received it today and checked it over and started looking for it online, I...

I dunno...I kind of liked it. Then again, I also liked the ARX-100 when I first saw it too, and thats best described as fugly enough to be endearing so my taste is certainly questionable at moments. At minimum I'll see things like that and be optimistic that it's a sign someone put some work in...

Thinking out loud what is in that range. 404 Jeff is a .423 bullet which metric wise is 10.75 sure. 416 Rem is a .416 bullet which metric wise is 10.57 (rounded). 10.8 is .425 Right offhand I don't know what might have a .425 unless the maker rounded the Jeff up. Loves me some RIA. I...

Big enough that I wouldn't want to say hi to him in a personal kind of a way.

LOL...depending how my day goes at auction today I might have to consider selling mine. I have my eyes on expensive toys --- although I have a feeling people with more desire and dollars will come along to take the treasures home to keep me honest.

I mean if that 1500 is in looneys and not dollarydoos that's a great price IMHO :D

I'll sell mine and include the Weaver T-10 that's on it for that price. I'll even hand deliver it.

Interesting --- I'll have to look into that. I've not really questioned it since I first heard that advice years ago to be honest.

Just FYI, I think American Reloading has a fair amount of .270 brass and projectiles in stock at the moment.

My daughter is pretty excited to have the ferris wheel in the store. Gotta admit it's a good hook to "drag me" in the door :D

I wish we had a SW nearby me. But we're about to get a Sheels just a hop from my house. I used to travel for work, and Covid was awesome because I could drive. And I wound up hitting probably 27 different SW's along the way. Was talking to a district manager of theirs about it one time and he...

Sure I could probably put this to use... PM inbound.

I'll usually take an old pen with a rigid frame and then transfer tape to it as needed.

Lot of good information and suggestions here. Maxi-pads are definitely amongst the less common items to see in a kit, but I'd recommend them as well. Tampons are great as well --- in a case where there is a deep puncture they come out of their nice sterile package and can be inserted as a plug...

Off topic, but I remember watching a Larry Potterfield video about cutting a chamber in a barrel blank. I just kept thinking "sure, because what everyone has laying around at home is all this specialized machinery and tools". Like, my dude, show it to demo the process but don't act like someone...

Also, be on the lookout for someone that responds in the thread and then someone else starts off a different PM with something like "I'm the actual owner who XXX was going to get us connected to...." or something similar as that's been somewhat of a common intercept tactic recently.

Brand new is a good way to say "bad news" on classifieds in my experience.

No talk of the Monarch 2.5-10?

IIRC, the No1's I have are adorned with: 7x57 - Weaver T10 416 Rem - Vari X IIc

Not sure if a good deal since I don't own these calibers but I noticed Powder Valley had some Hornady Big Boy ammo on sale:

I picked up some 375 Dakota brass a few weeks back because I know it's unobtanium. Still not sure what I'm going to do with it, but sometimes you carpe diem and decide later.

I begrudgingly agree with this assessment. It drives me nuts when I can't find components, but also if the price per round is really in the ballpark, I'd get the ammo and save the cases. As a bonus, don't forget to chrono the rounds so that you have the FPS data for your rifle. I know you...

Thanks for posting. I just got a Monarch 2.5-10 that I'm planning on mounting to my 416/404Jeff wildcat when I get back to that project.
