Anyone have actual firing experience with the Reising M55 and it's folding stock. I'm considering an M55 as my next SG and wondered just how secure the stock was under normal range conditions ( vice combat or competition shooting ). Thanks Lj

Great looking toys guys. Lj

Thanks for the thoughtful replies. That is why I joined this site. I have experience in some areas and need help in others. I may be missing something in the ballistic tables I've seen...? and I will recheck the 400 and 500yd drop and energy comparison of the 25-06, 270WCF, 30-06, 264WM and...

Looking for a new ( more capable ) rifle for antelope / large mulies out to 400 yds or so max on the tree less plains. 1. Remington 700 CDL or Weatherby Vangard Sub MOA...? 2. 257 WM or 270 WM...? Thank you. Lj

I'm really liking the 3x9x33 light weight compact scope. I've got 1.75x6's, 2.5x8's and 3.5x10's on some of my other rifles and the 3x9x33 is LIGHT 8.8oz, compact at 10.4", bright and high quality as a VX-II. I really like em. Hey Lloyd Smale, now you got me thinking I need a M70 Carbine in...

I just bought a mid 80's (G1720XXX) Winchester M70 Carbine with the long action in 270Winchester! It has a 20" barrel, standard stock and weighs about 6.5#'s. I already have a Savage 116 with the 22" barrel so I'm not changing my reloading equipment. My intent is to put a Leupold 3x9x33 light...

I am very happy with my two Savage Weather Warriors. Fit, finish, feel, trigger, accuracy are superb. One a 116 FHSS in 270W and the other a 116FHSAK in 338WM. Both are MOA to 1.25" at 100 yds with factory ammunition and .75 to MOA with my hand loads shooting the way I shoot ( My bench...

My Marlin Papoose has been great. It has been a very reliable and accurate "little" rifle. 1. I leave the barrel on most of the time and only hand snug the barrel nut with the supplied wrench. I take it down to where the nut will not move more by hand and then just snug it with the wrench...

1. Will the newer style synthetic "boat paddle" stocks fit pre MKII M77s made in the early 70's or mid 80's ? 2. And, if so, are there any sources in addition to the various gun/gun parts auction sites ? Thanks Lj

I too, received my MilTechArms M1 Carbine several months ago and it is as MRoadKing says "First Class". I am very pleased with the quality of workmanship and materials. I have also had the opportunity to shoot out to 100 yds or so and it is very accurate. Lj

Frosty equals some sort of corrosive activity. I've had several Milsurp rifles that had "frosty" bores I scrubbed as best I could and they still shot reasonably well. Of course, frosty could be slight or advanced. I personally like the 1903a3 model. If the price is right, compared against the...

I have a Marlin Papoose which has been a really nice little rifle. Thing is very accurate out to 100 yds. I can down Coke cans, clip after clip out that far with open sights. One of my "funnest" guns. I think one of the Taurus or Puma slide action 22LR or 22Mag rifles would also be great...

Thanks guys got all I need. Lj

So, no difference in brass thickness between standard and +P 257 Roberts brass ? I'm just gonna buy 100 and be done with it. Just wondering if I need standard or +P. And, I made a typo on the speeds for weight. I'll actually be looking for 2700-2800fps from 115/120 gr bullets vice 2900...

Putting supplies together so I can begin reloading for my new for me, used Ruger tang safety rifle in 257 Roberts. I do not have the rifle in front of me yet, but I believe it has a 22" barrel. Wanting to shoot 75/85 gr bullets around 3300fps +/- and 115/120 gr bullets around 2900fps +/-...

Ruger M77 Safari in 416 Rigby If you decide to get a 416 Rigby one option might be one of a limited run of Ruger M77 Safari's in 416 Rigby. Lj

257 Roberts it is Thanks for the input. Your thoughts and my research lead me to believe there are more good bolt action rifles chambered in 257 Roberts than 250 Savage and the ballistics are a tad better all the way around. Actually, lots of factory loadings and the bullet selection is...

How about the 250 Savage or 257 Roberts comparison ?

Yes I will be hand loading.
