You have patiently and methodically pursued a course of action to identify any mechanical deficiencies in the rifle. I would be inclined to agree that the scope issue has been put to rest. I had a buddy give me his .270 Savage several years ago because he couldn't make it shoot straight. First...

To the original question, " Why isn't the 7mm-08 round more popular?" I don't know, but I've read many plausible explanations from marketing to performance versus other calibers. I can only relate my experience with the cartridge. I bought one of the earliest Rem Models 7's produced and...

I've learned a lot by reading this thread. I'm a 58 yr old man who is beginning the downward physical spiral. This has given me lots to think about. Comments: Your retention holster worked just as it was designed to work. It prevented unauthorized access to your weapon, even in your surprised...

Clipper has it right. You may also wish to join the MI Gun Owners forum. They have a Legal Beagle sub-forum which addresses all sorts of legal questions posed by members. Perusing the forum is a good source of info for keeping up to date on MI CPL law.

If negotiating this settlement exceeds $XXX [you fill in the blank] you should just let your insurance company handle it; this is why you buy insurance. Unless doing so would involve destruction of your animal, I don't see why you are trying to settle this with him, especially when it seems that...

If you're serious about this you owe it to yourself to consider a Ponsness-Warren reloader. I have the single stage 375 unit and a progressive. They produce great ammo. the hull is inserted into a steel resizing die and it remains in the die until the loading process is complete. My bro uses one...

If you're tight on space and will only be using the loader for handgun cartridges, why not consider the Square Deal B as an option? I bought one several years ago. It has provided no opportunity for compromise under any circumstance. Rifle: this loader will not do it; but I prefer to load my...

I use a 30 year old RCBS Rock chucker. For the past 5-7 years I would notice the ram "chattering" at times as it was worked up and down; a shot of lube [WD40] would stop it for a while. But I recently got tired of the issue and disassembled the unit. I cleaned it thoroughly with lacquer thinner...

I've use threaded inserts [installed from the reverse side of the bench top] to secure Shotshell loaders, powder measures and pistol reloaders. But for a rifle press: bolting it to the bench top is the only way to go. The inserts allows easy removal and re-installation of equipment which might...

I'm glad everything worked out as well as it did for Rick. Every post here has made a point with varying degrees of validity. From my perspective, if shots have been traded and the perp is still shooting while retreating, the adrenaline and fight/flight reflex is probably going to be darn near...

I think it's time for you to bring some political pressure to bear upon your state legislators. Im MI a provision of the CPL statute prohibits the publication of this info. I guess you now are aware that every scumbag in the hood now has reason to believe that you have weapons in your home and...

My buddy's Savage 110 in .270 win was very sensitive to copper fouling and seemed to foul quickly. It shot great if I removed copper fouling every 30-40 shots. This alone reduce group size from 3+ to 1.5". Also keep in mind that after a thorough cleaning a few "fouling shots" may be necessary to...

I use a 30 year old Rock Chucker. It used to "rattle" on the up and down stroke and make strange sounds. Lube would remedy the prob for a short time but it would come back again. One day I completely dismantled it; cleaned it thoroughly with lacquer thinner, then reassembled it with a little bit...

I also own am XD9sc and added a CW9 Kahr to the vault. I love the xd trigger; after 1500 rounds it is smooth, fast, predictable and a relatively short reset. The CW9 trigger is longer and heavier. The CW9 is much thinner and lighter. It is more comfortable to carry and gets the nod most of the...

I own both the Xd 9 service model and the XD9sc. coincidently, I shoot the sc better than the full size model too. I carry the sc both IWB and OWB; Owb is much more comfortable for me. I also recommend that you purchase a Pearce grip extension for your XDsc; it makes the gun far easier and more...
