Bench shooting is the only real way to not only see what your rifle will do, but also tune your rifle to shoot its best. But you need a good solid set up that fits you. The best case are concrete benches. If you go to most big time bench rest meets you will find concrete benches and solid...

Also, BTW, what did that Boyd's stock set you back? And is it a laminate?

It would help if you had a good tripod and rear rest to get the rifle up so you're not having to contort your body to shoot accurately. BTW, I now have two Redfield Revolution scopes. Both, due to my eyes not being quite what they were even 5 years ago, are in 4-12x40. I put one on my old...

For lever guns, though they aren't usually quite as accurate, I prefer the Winchester 94. However, for a 45-70 I'd go for a Marlin Stainless Guide Gun. The reasons I love Winchesters are mainly asthetic. But the Marlin is one tough, accurate rifle. I don't yet own one, but I will someday.

I have had a .270 Win. for almost ever. It has been very good to me. I have received a ton of criticism from .270 haters on the net, but as Jack O'Connoer said, most of these "EXPERTS" have never sh0t one. I have and YES I have never killed -any animal so fast and clean. They were mostly...

More precisely, hinting to its name, it's a .378 WBY Mag. necked down to .308. But the 460 is the parent cartridge of the .378 I believe. This thing is a beast. I have a regular old garden variety .300 WBY Mag. and it's all I can handle. It's a great cartridge and shoots very flat, and will...

Another term for a loctite type product is thread lock. You put it on the threads. One word of caution, make sure you use the proper degree of thread lock you need. On guns and other things that I will later maybe take apart, for whatever reason, I use purple loctite. You can free the screw...

The difference in single and two stage triggers boils down to the way they feel when pulled. Most two stage triggers I've pulled were not too much different than a single stage except that there was a lot more creep or rather take up on the two stage. If you are used to a two stage trigger, you...

I've heard this silly argument about the 5.56 since the 60s. I don't worry about it. Lots of people bad mouth it, but not many would stand out there 300-400 yards and let me take a few shots at them with it. What? No takers? LOL!!! Seriously, the 5.56 against human targets is very potent. If...

I don't have either an AR or AK, but I now want both. The AR is the sophisticated choice of arms while the AK is the gutter rat. It can survive all kinds of missuse, take a lickin and keep on tickin. Seriously they're both great guns.

One thing about Yugo Mausers or 98Ks is they are stronger than the 96s, 95s and the older ones. You can build a rifle in a modern high pressure cartridge on one where some of the older Mauser designs aren't as strong.

If you're not wanting a collector, I would recommend you try Classic Arms or Samco. Here's Samco's URL: <https://www.samcoglobal.com/1-M24-47.html> Samco has Yugo 24/47 Barreled actions for $189.95. Not a bad price. I paid $138 and some change for my barreled action and about $160 for my...

KCShooter took the words right out of my mouth. Those rings are for really long rang. You probably don't need them.

One of the main limitations would be under "Other." The case is relatively thin so you can't load it up hot. However, with Leverrevolution ammo, your down range velocity is much improved. I personally think a good scoped 30-30 with spitzer bullets is now a 250 or even 300 yard gun. Also, the...

I think I read here somebody said that Savage stopped making the Stevens 200. However, they still offer it on the Savage site. The price went up a few bucks but it's still very reasonable.
