Bolt throw? I just bought an M700 myself and put standard Leupold rings on it. I believe the height is correct eye-wise, but the bolt handle knob almost touches the scope at its hightest point. Makes operating the bolt a little clumsy. I was planning on getting higher rings to solve the...

Inquiring minds want to know... ...how did you like the Bavarian stock on the Sako?

Has anyone fired the carbine (~16" barrel) version of this rifle? I'm trying to find out if the .308 muzzle blast/recoil would be excessive in the carbine format.

Holy moly! Just found a couple XCR's in a local gun store -- one 5.56 and one 6.8 -- but they want $2395 for one! Is it just me, or are the gun shows really taking advantage of the Obama gun-control scare to gouge us? Whatever the market will bear, I reckon. Looks like I'll have to go for...

Excellent. Thanks for the info, guys.

Howdy, y'all. Just started shooting black powder last year. I began with a Traditions flintlock longrifle, which I really enjoy. I just ordered an 1851 Navy .36 and I want to clarify something. Do lubed wads between the powder and ball serve the same purpose as Crisco or other lube stuck in...
