    sendero "special" model ?

    I can't find any information on this "special" model, only the new sf II dominates the internet searches I can perform... and I'm interested in buying one from a guy locally. Can someone please tell me if the barrel length is adequate to take advantage of 7mm magnum? Is it a good model? If it...

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2633150/American-police-forces-benefit-millions-dollars-military-weapons-proof-vehicles-armed-forces-leave-Iraq-Afghanistan.html I am unspeakably thankful that my home state is served by such progressive law enforcement professionals. Especially in the...

    45-70 as "200 yard limit?" Uh,... ???

    I became interested in 45/70 recently both to shoot and reload, and I've noticed some hilarious internet trend of "yeah it's a great caliber but only to 200 yards." A lot of this is regarding deer and hogs... Generally speaking, a lever-action load is still pushing a 400-grainish bullet...

    impact/knock-down/ft-lbs??

    Gents: I own a very capable .308win i love reloading for, that I enjoy shooting at targets btwn 100 and 500 yards. I don't go much further very often, but it's a 20" barrel w/ a great scope and I like it. I owned (past tense) a .280rem, or 7mm express; in love w/ the cartridge but not the...

    caliber for florida pigs?

    Going hog hunting in the panhandle. Average shot will be 50-150 yards where I'm going. I'm an experience hunter of other species who prefers in general one very accurate shot to using a supermagnumturbosledgehammer. I have a .35 rem, a .243, and a 7.62x39 to choose from; my first choice for...

    FNAR w/ ACOG

    Gentlemen; for your consideration: Do you think the comb height of an FNAR will preclude using a 4 or 5x acog in the standard ar15 height? I know the 6x acog machine gun sights are slung half an inch lower, however they're a thousand bucks more. THoughts?

    Double Rifle 30-06 load selection

    Gents, I find myself now fondling my baikal double rifle (rem stamped) in 30-06. Now I know that the venerable caliber is the jack-of-all-trades for the last 100 years+ and capable of killing anything you get within 200 yards of (at least on this side of the Atlantic). Well, this double rifle...

    .280 rem / 7mm express powder

    So, I finally pulled apart my remington core-lokt factory 150 psp that is the only round i can find working perfectly in my 7400 :banghead: , and weighed their powder. It was 53.3 grains of some large black shiny grain stuff that looked like IMR 4138 maybe? Anyway, I've gotten core lokt bullets...

    powder conversions

    Never got the accuracy out of Varget I hoped for in my .280 rem, but I blame it on the compatible bullets for my 7400. It seems to love 150gr range and not like anything else, not even a little bit, for accuracy. Well, I couldn't find IMR 3031 but I have 8 lbs of benchmark and I'm pretty happy...

    remington 740 mystery

    Greetings: You may have seen a previous thread of mine where i found an old 740 in a pawn shoppe and was going to use it as a donor for a project... then I got to playing with it. I stripped it down, cleaned it, and took it to the range. In short order 2 things became apparent: This was...

    virgin pig hunters

    Going down to the florida panhandle for my first pig hunt on private land. Got a .35 remington with my +p handloads, a good PVS 14, a squealing rabbit call just in case, and absolutely no idea what the hell I'm doing. A buddy and I are making the trip; we're both experienced hunters of other...

    18.5" turkey?

    Gentlemen, for your consideration: If I mounted the carleson 18.5" barrel with Remchoke on my 870 supermag, then put on my extra full turkey choke, would it function properly? I'm trying to lighten and make an easy swing for my 65 year old mother to hit turkeys and put them down :banghead: The...

    reloading for an auto-loader

    Ladies and Gentlemen: Submitted for your consideration- I am reloading .280 remington for my standby 7400 auto-loader. I am preferring the 162grain Hornady for now. Here is my question: basically no matter which powder i try, no matter whether it is a reliable cartridge load for functioning...
