    zastava mod 70 trigger

    Hello y'all I've got a zastava mod 70 in .243 which for a fairly inexpensive rifle has got nice fit and finish and so far with my handloads is a pretty fine shooter. However, the trigger as new was pretty poor in having long and gritty travel. I've been quite successful in the past with getting...

    sighting-in question

    so rifle season opens in a few days and I've only got a 50yd range to sight-in. I'm in the northeast so typical shots on deer are well under 150 yds; more like 50 to 75yds. I've sighted my 308 and my 35 rem to about 2" high at 50yds. Is this reasonable for shots from very close to out to...

    Cost per Bullet when reloading?

    if you're shooting large caliber rifles as I do: 338win, 375HH, 458lott then cost of reloading is so much smaller than store bought it doesn't even rate keeping track. for instance, store bought hornady 458 Lott runs about $5 per round! I shoot the cheap 405gr remington flat nose and it's a...

    Marlin Levers still suffering from QC issues?

    marlins vs. rossi I'm looking at a Marlin 1895 in 45-70 but am hesitating with all the bad press they're getting. Anybody out there have any comments on the newer Rossi lever action rifles? They look very well designed and put together. Thanks.

    painting a synthetic stock?

    I've got a weatherby vanguard 22-250 bearing a fairly gross synthetic stock. Can I prime & paint (spray) the thing to take some of the ugly out? I'm thinking something totally non-camo like screaming bright yellow. Specifics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    appleseed shoots

    I'm interested in attending an appleseed weekend shoot but have gotten a bit confused on preferred rifle selection. I've seen suggestions for 03-A3 or SMLE or other older battle rifles but they also refer to large capacity mags?? Besides, those look a bit punishing if we're expected to go...

    buffalo balls

    I've got a cva hawken that I've only shot patched round balls through. On a good day I get about 2" groups at 50 yds. I'm pretty sure it's a slow twist barrel. Any suggestions out there for pyrodex 2F loads for 320 grain maxi balls and 385 hornady great plains bullets. I'd like to hunt with...

    308 lite how about that old time load of 10gr Unique under a 110grainer? they work fine for me - I get about 1.5" groups at 50yds but I shoot off-hand just to keep in practice.

    Any plinkng Range in Connecticut

    the blue trail 200 yd range is open for BB or pellet rifle only. what fun! center fire rifles for use on the 50 yd / 100 yd range and only off the bench. No off-hand shooting (real men do it standing upright). It ain't the place it used to be. Best info is that the a**hole neighbor causing all...

    Anyone using RG4895 Surplus powder

    surplus 4895 I've been using this stuff from widners for some time now and have gotten pretty good results with moderate loads for 308 and 35 rem. I'm getting pretty spectacular muzzle flash though - easily visible in daylight and fabulous at dusk. Any comments? I'm not a very experienced...
