    Magnum Research BFR Exploded. (56k beware)

    The cylinder worked fine, still smooth as any SA and yes the reciever was slightly buldged. bobby68 - rest assured this was an operator malfunction, has nothing to do with the design of the gun, infact the gunsmith said that the gun held up better than most.

    Magnum Research BFR Exploded. (56k beware)

    I work in a gun store and a customer came in today and brought me this gun and asked me to ship it back to the factory... He apparently shot a handload and it was a miss-fire (no powder charge) but he didnt check the barrel before firing again....

    How much do you know about guns?

    yea I believe that was actually a Mark II with an Advanced Armament Phoenix silencer, he also used a Ruger P-89/94/95/97 towards the end of the movie.

    Interesting that this story came to THR, I currently reside in Redding and have for all my life. I am close friends with the boyfriend of the woman who was killed, they were going to get married next month. I heard from my her boyfriend that the 16 year old kid wasn't allowed to leave his house...

    How much do you know about guns?

    I am one of the currently 10.73% that said guns are thier jobs, I sell guns at a gun store for a living, the boss sometimes buys us movie tickets for movies that contain alot of firearms so when those customers come in wanting the "sweet pistol thing" that Tom Cruise's character "Vincent" has in...

    $1K Lightweight walking gun: Kimber Montana or Sako Finnlight...?

    I got my Kimber Montana 308 yesterday, that kevlar stock is amazing, feels good, looks good, and wow is it light. I felt the finnlights they're nice but I dont really have a need for a hinged floor plate when hunting, and its nice to have a good high quality firearm made in USA.

    Kimber 84 in 7mm-08 or ?

    uh oh looks like I'm probably not getting the classic varmint 22, they estimated 6 weeks before they'd get it in which was fine but then, the shop owner (great friend of mine) requested me in his office. So I go in there and he hands me a Cooper in 17 with a stainless matte barrell and sexy AAA...

    Kimber 84 in 7mm-08 or ?

    Heh, looks like I'm gonna pick up another kimber after this one, I just shot a kimber 22 classic varmint with a matte stainless fluted barrel, wow talk about a cadillac of .22's. I just got a pretty big paycheck so I ordered one the next day, I have a nice little VX-II 3-9x50 waiting for it when...

    usage for a 30-378 weatherby

    yea I thought that was kinda squirrelly, I didnt want to argue with his chronograph but 3800 did seem somewhat fast. The reason I didnt say anything is because this guy blew up the bolt face on his savage 22-250 using some mixture of powders to get it to go 5100 fps (or so he said.). anyhow...

    usage for a 30-378 weatherby

    I shot one last time i was at the range, 180 grain barnes XLC chrono'd at somewhere around 3800 FPS man did they have some knockdown power, I shot the 500 yard ram silhouette it has about a 200lb concrete anchor and it tilted it quite a ways. They guy had 2 guns in 30-378 a ruger no. 1 with some...

    Kimber 84 in 7mm-08 or ?

    I'm not sure how recoil sensitive you are but it seems to me that any or a combonation of the following would significantly reduce recoil: OPS INC makes a really nice muzzle break, (go here for the video). A nice recoil pad... the kimbers come with a decelerator which is very good but X-Coil...

    Kimber 84 in 7mm-08 or ?

    Yea I already ruled out buying a sauer no specific reason. It would solve these caliber problems however. As for Montana vs Classic - If my VX-III wasn't silver, and I didnt have to crawl on my stomach through manzanita, poison oak, and briar patches to go hunting in my area then I would...

    Kimber 84 in 7mm-08 or ?

    I was hoping for a thread like this, I felt a 5lb 10oz kimber 84m montana, pulled the 2lb trigger and that sold me right there. I went home took the silver VX-III 3-9x40 off my A-Bolt and put it on consignment for a 84 Montana... the A-Bolt isnt sold yet but thats alright since I'm having the...

    Kimber 84

    hmm good points, 308 surely has proven itself over these long years. I am just bias to 300 WSM because my friend has a model 70 wsm and is very pleased with the accuracy and velocity. Then again its a toss-up, I'm about to buy a gun that will last forever, I need a cartirdge that will accompany...
