Bolt opening, you're right. My mistake. So a good cleaning may be in order. I'll eliminate that variable and see how things go. Thanks.

Hope someone on THR can shed some light on this. Thanks in advance. I believe have posted about this rifle before at some point. It is a 1955 Winchester 70 in 243 Win. It was customized at some point with a Flaig Ace barrel and a custom Mannlicher stock. The stock had a plastic "barrel cap"...

Yeah the Stoner platform really is one of the most ergonomic and modular platforms available out there. I'd honestly love to have the chance to get one someday. I'd probably assemble my own, so I could pick out the internals and everything without forking out for a real Colt or LMT.

I've been thinking, reading about and shooting rifles lately and have come to the conclusion that my personal rifle battery, as I build it up (I'm 24 and in college), needs to be "efficient". Affordable for me, yet reliable and simple. I think an AR-15 or AK47 is a neat choice for a fun gun with...

Picked up my first M70. It's a 1955 dated receiver, an aftermarket barrel marked "Haig Ace - .243 Cal", aftermarket walnut stock with a mannlicher-style forend, the whole thing topped off with an El Paso Weaver 2.5-7x. I paid $450, I figured it was worth that for the action. It's smooooth...

the gentleman in the photo was my college roommate, and taught me everything i know about pistol shooting.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone here had any info on Fort Hunter Liggett, California. My dad and I are really interested in doing some wild pig hunting there sometime in the next year. We have never hunted pigs, but hunt deer in CA every year, usually in the C zones. I have been to FHL's...

what a tragedy. my ex-girlfriend grew up in that church and attended there all last year while she was in school. i guess any time is a good time to carry. especially in a mega-church.. =(

not 6.5-06 related.. but the Gun Exchange was a kick-butt store! i picked up a Savage 99 there. was sad to see it go.

.300 Savage, .30-30 or .308. It's a draw within 200 yds.

Bolt-Action Pros: 1) Available in many more calibers. 2) Generally the most accurate. 3) Generally they have stronger actions (easier to handload). Lever-Action Pros: 1) Rides well in a scabbard. 2) Faster follow-ups. 3) Generally shorter/lighter/handier. 4) Much more ambidextrous...

Based on caliber merits alone: .22 LR (game-getter/plinker). Because ammo is cheap and because it's a quiet round. .223 Remington (HD/SD, varminting, paper punching). Because ammo is cheap, and it's powerful enough for two-legged varmints, and because it's accurate. .30-06 Springfield...

yeah that is a tall buck! it seems like the young two and three points out our way do get pretty tall with only a few points as opposed to growing more points early on.. :confused:
