Thanks guys. I had been thinking about installing a peep sight on the rear of the receiver. And yes, I would like to eventually find a different bolt for it. I wish the rifle had been left in original, as-issued condition as well. But if it were, I would never have been able to afford it. I...

Hey all, thought I'd share this with folks and maybe get some help/guidance on it. I just purchased a Model 1903 rifle built by Remington. Its been sporterized and not a very pretty job either. Needs some clean up and a few minor stock repairs/mods. I'm looking for any and all information I can...

Contrary to what the OP noted, I've seen considerable savings. I've been working up loads to replace the Remington Managed Recoil loads that my dad shoots in his 30-06. The Remington loads have hit $25+ a box of 20, its costing me less than $8 a box to reload. My .38 Specials are about the same...

***Sorry for the double post, Internet glitch*** Depending on your budget, if you don't have a ton of money to throw into a benchrest rifle right from the start, you might look into a target bull-barreled bolt action from Savage. I currently shoot a Mark-II BTVS (laminate thumbholed stock)...

Depending on your budget, if you don't have a ton of money to throw into a benchrest rifle right from the start, you might look into a target bull-barreled bolt action from Savage. I currently shoot a Mark-II BTVS (laminate thumbholed stock) from Savage. Very very nice shooter. Very accurate as...

HEy All, thanks for the opinions. I'm guessing I'll probably buy a set of RCBS carbide dies when I get that magical stimulus check in the mail. I'm not going to be terribly worried about accuracy with these rounds, just reload as a cheaper way to shoot lots. Carry ammo and probably hunting ammo...

Hey All, I need to pick up a set of dies for reloading 38 special and 357 Mag. What do you recommend? Looking at RCBS, Lyman, Lee and others. Any reason to go with one over another? I've used RCBS dies in the past for rifle (30-06 and 243). For a press, I have a Lyman T-Mag with standard 7/8"-14...

Sorry, no Belgian arms here, but I do own an Italian and a German. I own a Pietta made 1858 Remington wheel gun and a German made Arminius 22lr 8 shot wheel gun. But are fun arms, but sorry, nothing Belgian yet. Kinda rich for this rednecks blood. :cool: SGP

Hey All, thanks again for the continued thoughts and opinions. I've also started considering something a little bigger. Along the lines of a Ruger GP100. Thoughts on this? Wheelgunslinger? What do you carry? Thanks, SGP

I understand the thoughts behind the Glocks, and agree that they are excellent options for home and self defense. But I have yet to be convinced that a 9mm or even a 45ACP would truly work in my situation, not to put them down. The 10mm round, I'm not too familiar with and unfamiliar with its...

Thanks for all the advice folks. Sounds like I'm on the right track looking at something in 357mag. The CZ 52 sounds like a possibility as well. Ammo would be more difficult to come by, but I do reload rifle ammo already, so it wouldn't be that hard to pick up what I'd need for the 7.62 round...

Hey all, I'm doing my research on what to purchase for a sidearm. My uses would be mainly protection while backpacking and canoe tripping in the BWCA of MN. I need something that is lightweight as I'll already have 40-50 pounds of gear strapped to my back. I also need something that'll stop a...

Savage Mark II My vote goes to the Savage Mark II. I was going through the same process a few months ago. Looking at all my options, even looking at semi-autos like the 10/22 and the Rem 597. I finally decided on the Mark II with the Accutrigger. The Accutrigger is a very nice set up. No creep...

Sounds like I've got my work cut out for me. I know have to find time to try a couple of these recipes out. I'll of course end up being the one to do all the test firing in my father's 700. He's not the greatest shot, I end up producing much tighter groups than he does. He's shot shotgun for too...

Thanks all for your advice and help. Lots of good suggestions here and I think I'll start with that Hodgdon load that Steve4102 linked for me. Looks like a good option. And I'd say "youth" is close enough to "little girly" for my dad. Thanks again all! Much appreciated. Seth P.

Thanks for the replies. I was able to look up more detailed specs on the Remington Managed Recoil loads. Here's what I can come up with. 125 grain Core-Lokt PSP bullet. Muzzle velocity is 2660 FPS, and the energy at the muzzle is just shy of 2000 ft-lbs. As for my purposes, I have no bullet...

Hey all, I'm looking for help working up a round for the 30-06. My father has been shooting the Remington "Managed-Recoil" rounds for a few years now. I'm sure some of you out there have noticed that Remington has raced the price on this load significantly. From the same as regular loads, to the...

Thanks all, I've had experience wiht the pistols and really liked the trigger feel and the accuracy. The appearance, as strange as it seems, appeals to me. Its a unique look, very different from your standard 10/22 that everone owns. I believe that they designed the stock like they did to keep...

Hey all, anyone have experience with Browning's Buckmark Rifle? I know the pistols are pretty well thought of as reliable and accurate pistols. Any word on the rifles? I'm specifically looking at the target version with the bull barrel. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks! SP

I had a older Savage in 243 Winchester. I loved it. I was very pleased with the accuracy and never had a problem with the rifle in the 14 years I owned it and hunted with it. Now with the new Accutrigger, Savage rifles are even better in my opinion. Enough so that I purchased a new Savage, only...
