After reading many of the mount & scope ring questions, I have come to the conclusion it is a bit of a crap shoot. Bummer, no Silver Bullet. I have a Weatherby Mark V in .270 Wby Mag & a Swarovski 4-12x50 A Habicth (1" tube) that had a squiggly, non identifiable mount & ring set. The Habicth...

"Russian primers for precision work; ... Ok, Don, You are talking to a complete noob on rolling your own, but since I want to build a reliable round, besides saving $$, why russian primers? And is Wolf & Tula the only Russian primer manufactures? What are you using? Thanks.

Folks... Thanks much for your information. Going to look into the Remmy CoreLokt; sounds like a reasonable option for most occasions. Too bad we don't have a hog problem in our area. Will test out reasonable weights and powers for building max range. Be Well. Sam

Folks... Thanks so much for your thoughtful information. I appreciate it. The GSR is already to the riflesmith for inspection and anticipate the trigger, crown, lug work with internal polishing will be next. The smith wonders if the rifle was made on Mon, Wed, or Friday? :-) The GSR does have...

Hi. Have a new bolt rifle, a Ruger Gunsite Scout. It has a 16.5" 308 Win barrel with a 1-10" RH twist. Does the relatively short barrel cause a reloader to modify the recipe of components? If so, how? Since I only get 1.65 revolutions in the barrel, does that limit the bullet stability and...

I have a new bolt rifle, a Ruger Gunsite Scout. It has a 6 groove,16.5" 308 Win barrel with a 1-10" RH twist. I am sure those of you in Hi-Power or Benchrest competition are wondering why I am posting here. I figure you folks are well versed on the intricasies of barrel length, speed of twist...

Yesterday, I committed a cardnial sin using the wrong tool at the right time. Sigh.... Was adjusting the sights on my Ruger Mini-14, 181 series. The adjuster hung up, then spun quickly, and the result was a bright 1/2" scratch/gouge across the top of the receiver. Put it away quickly before...

IF you can determine the delivery schedule and IF the store is not gouging the price, you can obtain reasonable but limited ammo. Or if you have credentials, look up the CMP site for Sales and order from them. You are not going to wait longer and the ammo is very good. Or just wait a while and...

Krupp, Check out Alpha Ind Mfg and their Alpha Ruger GSR mag. www.alphaindmfg.com I have a couple and they are well made, and shorter than the Ruger 10 rd factory metal box mag. This is accomplished by double stacking the lower rounds with a single feed. Forget 308 stripper clips as...

I have time on my hands and am looking to smooth up an action on a virgin bolt action. Probably proofed at the factory, but that is it. Being factory fresh, I didn't see any curled slivers of metal, but the bolt seemed to drag and not as smooth as I might have expected; even a bit wobbly at the...

Membership Photo Will see if this works finally.... sheesh, hope I am a better shot than a pixil manulipator. A long and convoluted story on this ROA, better over beer and pizza. I find it interesting the sn is lower than what Ruger has on it's brochure. Count me in on the club. Be Well, Sam

Thursday... Look to the CMP for their Atomic .308. 200 rds for $187 delivered in the lower 48. They're tsunamied with orders but it does arrive. Enjoy the GSR. :-)

Ruger GSR, already moded with the longer 1913 rail, EOTech HHS II HWS, Smith Ent suppressor, and Alpha Mfg mags.

Thanks for the information. Will contact your suggested resources for the most reasonable outcome. Appreciate your thoughts! :-) Sam

Have a Mossy 42MB from the WWII Lend-Lease program with the British. Would like to have it prepped and hot tanked to prevent the barrel from becoming a C&R wall hanging. "Thought" the issue was handled last year with a respected 'smith an hour's drive away. He said up front his blueing was...

P08 Luger P08, followed by Ruger Mark series 22's. The P08 grip angle to the barrel is just like pointing my finger at the target. Most comfortable hold I have ever had. Also impacts like a finger point: X ring every time :-). My Mark II is the next best to the P08. (Truthfully, I find most...

Lerk's question for bluing in MN struck a cord with me. And the responder noted his shop blued about once a month. I appreciate a smith does not fire up the tanks on a whim, but I have had a barrel awaiting for a dunk well over 6 months. So, anyone out there have a recommendation for a shop...
