Henry Rifles Perhaps Henry Arms should be named ERMA West. I believe Henry bought the tooling for their .22 lever action and .22 pump from the now defunct Erma in Germany. The two brands appear to be identical.

Been there, done that. ONCE! What's wrong with compressing a 25 foot long spring into a 3 inch space? It's almost impossible, that's what's wrong.

Mine has the longer barrel--14 or 15" I think. In response to MCgunner, it would seem rather odd, but acquired the pistol in a package deal from a widow friend. Anyway, at the time, I knew nothing about the XP-100 or that 7MM BR had been discontinued. Judging from the cost and availability of...

It sounds like this is getting so complicated that it may not be worthwhile. What is meant by the reamer not cleaning up the body of the BR? Isn't the 7MM-08 the same body diameter as the BR, i.e. the .308 Winchester case? Wouldn't the reamer simply cut the forward profile of the 7MM-08...

I have a Remington XP-100 chambered for 7MM BR. I think I want to rechamber it to 7MM-08. The BR ammo is difficult to find, expensive, and I have no interest in reloading. I think the 7MM-08 may be around for a while. While I've been a gun nut for over 50 years, this is the first time I've...

Well, how about a Sako in .264 Win. Mag.? It's a long flat shooter. If you have an interest, I'll bring it to Tulsa with me.

I asked if anyone else has had experience with Leupold with regard to this issue. They say they have a lifetime warranty, but I would like to know if they've ever replaced their scope because of it turning plum colored. To me it is clearly a defect.

I have a Vari X (not a I,II, or III) 3X9 scope that dates back to the 60's and parts of it have turned a plum color. Does anyone have any warranty experience with Leupold regarding this or know what Leupold's position on this is? I've talked with them over the phone and all they will say is...

Well, I realize I'm getting in on the tail end of this thread, but I have had a Model 50 for 54 years. My father bought it for me when I was 14. I got the full choke barrel and a few years later, I had a Weaver Choke installed. I've hunted everything from geese to quail with it and it has...
