    My Latest Find: Oberndorf M96/38 Swedish Mauser - 1899

    Hey all, I mentioned this rifle the other day, and I thought I would go ahead and post some pictures up. I found it in a pawn shop down in Corpus Christi a few weeks ago. I can't imagine who let this one go, but once I saw it, I knew I had to have it. I ended up paying $425 for it, which I...

    Help with value on Winchester Model 70

    Hey all, I'm trying to help out a buddy put an accurate value on a rifle. It's a post-64 Winchester Model 70 XTR Sporter Magnum in .264 Win Mag, with a 1990 Serial Number. This is one of the older style actions, with the push feed and small blade extractor. The rifle is in almost new, very...

    8x57 or 35 Whelen for a North American Beater

    Hey all, I've been looking for something to extend my caliber range upwards a little. Currently, the largest thing in my safe is a .30-06, and I'd like to move up a bore diameter or two. It'll probably be a long while before I can finagle a hunting trip up North, so the rifle will be used for...

    Another Mauser followed me home yesterday

    Walked in the gunstore to find a 6-48 scope mount screw, and spotted this thing on the consignment rack. It's a 1908 Brazilian in 7x57. The metal is all in excellent shape on it, and the bore is also in very good condition. It appears that someone sanded down and refinished the stock. That hurts...

    Worked up some dream loads for 6.5x55

    Hey all, I've been working on a little pet project, and I thought I'd share. I've been trying to turn a 6.5x55 sporter into a varmint rifle, and I stumbled down a very nice little side road along the way. I spent most of the afternoon today at the range working in reloads. I've been playing...

    Reduced Power Loads for 7.62x51 in an M1A

    I've been doing some thinking and reading on the forum, and I'm ready for some thoughts and input. Who all out there has tried reduced loads in an M1A, and how do you like them. Apparently they are moderately popular for NM shooting at the closer range. I'd been wanting to get a Mini 30 for...

    Picked up a dream rifle yesterday, talk to me about .270 Win

    Hey all, Picked up this rifle yesterday. I've wanted a Husqvarna 640 since I got my first sporterized Swede Mauser. I've been looking for one in 8x57, .30-06, or 9.3x62. However, once I saw the pictures of this one, I knew I had to have it, even though it was in a brand new caliber for me...

    7x57 Ackley Improved Pet Loads?

    Looks like I'm going to pick one up this week. Marquart Precision built on a 98 action with a 22" Barrel. I've got a couple of small ring 95s in regular 7x57, but I've never loaded for the AI before. I was wondering if anybody here any pet loads they really like, and corresponding velocities...

    Considering Buying a 7x57 AI, Opinions?

    Hey all, new guy here. I've lurked forever, but this is my first post. I've found a M98 Mauser action with a replacement 7x57 AI barrel in the local area for sale. The barrel and action are both nicely blued with a medium/heavy sporter contour of 22", and the bolt appears to be beautifully...
