Ouch! If you can get your rifle zeroed to be right-on at 25m you will be ahead. The goal is 5 shots in a 1 inch square. Seems simple but it could take you most of day one to get it correct with the drift/file adjustable sites on the Mosin. It will be fun anyway. You will sure get...

The place I have used to shoot is not available anymore. It appears I will need to drive about 50 miles to get to a good range I can afford now. It will be a little over an hour each way. There is a closer range or 2 that would be fine for some things but I do not like there very strict...

I have never been disapointed ordering from AIM. It is rare to find a K-31 with excellent condition wood. The stock is often beat up, but the metal may very well be excellent condintion. I would say the last one I got from AIM had near perfect metal, but the wood woud rate about...

Count me in the 336 club. New 336W 30-30. Nothing special just factory stock and added the nylon shell holder to the stock. First time to the range shot about 2" 3 shot groups with the 170 CL with the factory sights. 100yds. I think I am hooked. Now I am looking a receiver sights :)

I think the 8X57 can be as accurate as any armature reloader can make any other round. I have a Old non matching turk that I draw filed the contours out of the barrel, Cut down to 26", Re-crowned, Welded on a new bolt handle, B-Square mount and cheap 6X BSA Scope. Reworked the original stock...

Head Space?? You can not just swap the bolt with out at the very least checking the headspace. I think you would be very lucky if a second bolt would pass Go and a NoGo. Be safe.

Sporters help the collector $$$ Wasn't this thread about pics. Oh Well, I will pile on some more. :neener: I would think all the collectors would love the sporter projects. Just makes your stock pile worth more $$$ :neener: I hope a bunch of bubba's hack up all the MAS 49/56's the can...

AK price? I saw this show last week. One statement got my attention. They said you could get a Full auto AK on the Las Vagas street for less that $100. Really...

Great input. Oldnamvet : You are on to something there. I will look in to one of the new recoil reducing pads for it. It is a Ruger M77 with the stock hard ruber pad. That may be exactly what is needed for her. goose: I think you are right on with the 257 rob. I have used it on lots...

I have a 11 year old daughter that may (if she holds her end up) get to deer hunt next month. She is very recoil sensetive, she is about 5' and maybe 100lbs. I have a 257 Roberts she shoots well with medium loads and light bullets. (M77) I have shot deer with this rifle before, but only...

Weaver I possibly be interested in that Old weaver 4X. If it is a K4. Let me know.

Good rifle for the money. This is a good little rifle for the money. Fit and Finish are OK. Not as good as some of the US made bolt 22's, but it is about half the price. The sling hardware is small. You have to find a 3/4" or smaller sling to use the ones that come on it. It has a floated...

Irons are great! Cosmoline, I would agree with you on the lost art of iron sights. I love good iron sights. That's one reason I took this broken rifle and make it in to something that I could use. I needed a good quick target acquistion carbine. The issue sights on the M-44 do leave...

Shooter or wall hanger. I think it is a waste for a good rifle to hang on a wall or set in a safe. I have many rifles. Most orignal, some "improved". I shoot them all becuase it would be wrong not to. I see nothing wrong with taking, U-fixems and broken stock rifles and making a good...

Cosmoline Please Its not like I hacked a up a great colloctor. It was a broken stock special from Centry. Hand gaurd broken and forend cap bent and broken. Maybe I should have looked around for a $80-100 laminated stock to put on my $35 dollor broken stock special. You would think since...
