    Winchester Model 70 stock question

    I have a Model 70 that I dropped a few years back and cracked the stock. I slipped on some wet rocks while hunting. I was so mad! Anyway, I glued and pinned it and it works fine, but I've always wanted to replace the stock with something nicer. The rifle in question is a late 70's/early 80's pre...

    Chrome MAS 36

    This is a gun that a friend of mine dug out of his father's closet. Can anything be found out about it based on the serial number? Why on earth would someone chrome plate a MAS 36? Might this be some kind of presentation or ceremonial piece? He wants to shoot it, so I'm trying to get it...

    What happened to this 300Win Mag Brass??

    The two pieces of brass in the picture are from a 300 Win Mag load I shot today: 165gr Nosler Accubond, 78.5gr IMR 7828, Winchester LRM primer, LOA 3.39. This should be a mid-range load according to my Nosler book. Although, the book claimed this would go about 3110 FPS, and my Chrony clocked it...

    How should I treat this damage?

    I'm sooo PI$$ED! :mad: I slipped and fell on some wet rocks and and my nearly 20 year old Winchester M70 suffered some sustantial damage. This rifle is like an old friend and I've always taken good care of it, and now it has a cracked stock and some nasty damage to the end of the barrel. I'm...

    Learning from a lost deer

    Well, I finally got to shoot a deer with my .44 mag, but everything did not go exactly as planned. I shot a doe at about 20 yards with a 270gr Gold Dot over a max load of H4227. She was standing broadside and I hit her perfectly behind the shoulder, getting complete penetration. When I got down...

    shoot any good groups lately?

    I just got back from a great session with my AR10A4. I shot the best group yet with this rifle. This was shot at 100 yards at an indoor range. Does anyone else have some nice groups to share? Pictures are worth 1000 words.:D

    WooHoo!! Scored with my AR-10!

    I was sitting under a big Pecan tree in the corner of a big field in Navarro County, TX, when I looked to my left and here's this nice 8 point buck moving through the middle of the field. I waited until he stopped to scan ahead and took the shot at about 175yd. He took one 165gr Sierra HPBT...

    Anyone here pressing .41 AE?

    Has anyone worked up any good loads in .41 AE? I just started woking on it last night with Sierra 170gr JHC. I made two series: one with 800X up to 8.5gr (book max per Sierra), and a workup with AA#7 up to 11.0gr (book max per Sierra, max per LEE is 9.3gr. Be careful!!). Any other suggestions? I...

    Witness sight adjustment

    I have a 10mm EAA Witness that shoots about 1 inch to the left at 7 yards. This pistol does not have adjustable sights, but the rear sight is dovetailed. Is adjusting this just as simple as hitting the rear sight with a small hammer and a brass punch? I have not had the need to do much work on...

    10mm Questions

    It's time for me to start handloading for my 10mm Witness now that it has passed the 200 round "break-in Period", so I have a few questions. I am making rounds for hunting pigs and deer and was planning on using 165gr bullets, but it seems most people are using 180 or 200gr. Is the 165gr...
