    http://legislature.vermont.gov/assets/Documents/2018/Docs/BILLS/H-0422/H-0422 As Introduced.pdf Despite your home state, a worthwhile and relevant discussion might be had exploring this confiscation bill in its nuances, how it could be made better or arguments to present to my legislators based...

    VT h.422, CONFISCATION bill without judicial oversight

    Hi all, here in VT we have the latest bit of 'literal' gun grabbing legislation, seeking to obfuscate Constitutional rights. As what happens in a "frontier" state such as VT is likely to be visited on less gun friendly states such as yours, I think a open and broad dialogue on the tenets of our...

    Savage target action trigger problems

    Hi all, I'm getting close to completing a new build but am having trouble with the trigger getting bound up when the action screws on either side of the trigger guard are torqued down beyond finger tight. Primarily the small rear most screw is the culprit, however the larger 1/4 28 screw...

    Reforming cal. / Primer - Charge delay

    I'm new to reforming brass. I am going from .243 to .260. I used too much lube on the starting .243 cases with a .260 die. As a result, the end product has the primer going off - delay - main charge going off a split second later. I have a bunch more sized and primed not loaded yet, can...

    Egg Shoot (225ish yds.) best <$2K, cal./gun/scope

    So a bunch of my range buds have been doing these egg shoots at 200 meters. .22-250, .22swift, .204 are what they are using. Any thoughts on what cal. might shave off a cm. or two in accuracy given the same shooter (recoil/wind drift etc. etc.) What power scope is ideal? I'm thinking of...

    AR .260 feed/eject prob. sighting in

    So I bought all the parts (prior to 6mo. ago) and recently finished the build. I used 60 rounds of Rem factory ammo to try to get things tuned and initially thought I had it as brass was ejecting. This wasn't the case after a while as shells were not feeding or brass getting stuck on the way...

    WHAT cal. AR-10 BUILD WOULD YOU DO?

    So lets say you've got several .308's in all sorts of configurations & just finished a .260 Rem. You have all the components for x1 more except for the barrel. What would be a fun cal. to make. You have no utilitarian need for this rifle, just a play thing to do on a whim.... You enjoy...

    Scope for new build, .260 rem

    Any thoughts on good deals for a quality piece of glass to go on this .260 Rem? 20", 30mm base, custom trigger. I'm looking for this to be a longer range rifle as I generally use other AR's in 15's and 10's for shorter ranges. I was thinking SWFA initially in a fixed x12 power (hense the 30mm...

    BUTCHERING A COW / HIDE PREP ???'s

    Thanks for all the advice on getting me to this point where the cow is in 1/4's hanging and the hide is drying out w/ salt on it! The issues I'm looking into are 1.) hang time for the beef in the garage 20-40 deg. (Vermont is still quite cold this time of yr) 2.) How to best handle the hide...

    Gun of choice, bovine slaughter?

    For the 1st time, I'll be slaughtering a 1200 lb cow... Just wondering if it would be better to set up 50 - 100 yds back and put a hunting round through the ear or get up close, above/between the eyes with a shotgun/handgun? Considerations are bleeding it out promptly, either case, this should...

    1st. Time Butchering 1200 lb. Cow?

    Any advice on what to look for in a butchering set... quality of the steel, shape, size etc. I don't mind spending a couple hundred $ on a good set that will hold up for my lifetime of game/cow butchering. I plan on using a sawsall & bandsaw for the bones. Any FYI advice would be appreciated!

    Confiscation/buy back (for sake of argument)...

    Let say an individual has a bunch of AR type platforms in AR-15/10 in everyting from .223 on up to .338 cal. This person has spare parts of all sorts; unused lowers, stock, float tubes, uppers, barrels, etc. If the goons came searcing for all the registered "AW's" couldn't this guy just give...

    AR build .260 or 6.5 creedmoor?

    I am doing x 2 AR-10 builds & am looking to do at least one of them in 6.5mm. I'm trying to decide between the .260 Rem and 6.5 Creedmoor (6.5x284 is out for my own reasons). I am aware of the OAL & case capacity differences, though slight. The question is, which would be the better round in...
