So I sent my bolt action 30-06 to a gunsmith for some work, and had it shipped back to Cabela's because I needed an intermediary with an FFL license. When I went to pick up the rifle (which I have owned for 5 years) they ran a background check and made me fill out a 4473 through their computer...

If you guys were to hunt in very rugged terrain--the mountains and rainy forests of Washington state--would you use a blue rifle or a coated rifle? I'm upgrading my 30-06 to have a laminated stock to deal with the elements, but should I be coating the metal parts as well? The gunsmith...

Does anyone know what type of recoil pad this accepts? I want to replace the old one with something more absorbent but I'm not sure what size it is. Also any suggestions on recoil pads would be appreciated

I have acquired a new scope and I greatly want to install it. Problem is, around my area I should not be popping off alot of rounds because it is the middle of deer hunting season, and this is where I hunt. I have a magnetic bore sighter-- it has served me well in the past. When it read the...

There seem to be only a few good examples of straight pull actions, the most popular being the k 31 swiss. People still love the K 31 and it has a great reputation for accuracy and reliability. My question is: why doesn't remington, ruger, savage, etc. make a straight-pull action? every year...

I know that I have started threads with all sorts of scope questions, but hilariously enough I still have not bought a new scope. Nonetheless I am trying to get a new one before hunting season starts, so here the question begins. I have a regular 3-9x scope right now and it seems to work...

I have been looking desperately for a variable 1-4x or a 1.5-5x scope, and cant make a decision. I need one that can come with turrets or a custom BDC reticle, I wont be hunting at extremely long ranges but want to be able to have fun at the range. I am very interested in the sightron big...

I am thinking about getting a 1.5-5x scope because I like its sleek and compact design. However I have only used scopes that max out at 9 or 10x. So what is the maximum range of this scope? how far away could you hit something with 4 or 5x zoom? I mean maybe a circle that is 12" in diameter

There are alot of different scopes out there that offer ballistic reticles or custom ballistic turrets for rifle scopes. However, most of these are only subjected to the scopes with really big objective lenses. Therefore I am looking for a scope that is: -Of high quality, at least...

One of my relatives has sensitive eardrums, so a 30-06 blast without hearing protection would make him deaf for a couple seconds. Not that anyone should practice without hearing protection, but i was wondering--what caliber is good for deer with the least noise? My guess is the .243 but i've...

the bolt in m77 tang safety seems to have a little rust on it, and is not as smooth as I'd like it to be. I have heard that once in a while they need to be cleaned entirely--i was considering just submerging the bolt completely in hoppes no. 9. is this a bad idea? if not, how long should i keep...

Its time for a new scope, and I need a decent one. Although I do not anticipate taking any shots over 200 yards, the idea of a ballistic reticle is very intriguing and couldn't hurt. Anyways, after doing some reading all these 3 scopes have ballistic reticles. The pentax seems an odd choice cuz...

There has been one question that I have been wondering. Will a pillar-bedded bolt-action rifle with a walnut stock and a completely free floated barrel be free from weather effects? Its difficult to find an answer. I'm asking because I only have 1 rifle, a ruger m77 tang 30-06 that has been...
