I've often had a similar experience, but in smaller batches -- If I shoot a five round group it seems that pretty consistently 4 rounds will be tight, and one will be twice as far from the group as the others are to each other (if that makes any sense, i.e., one flyer in every five). I've...

I had one for only two weeks, the shortest I've ever owned a gun. I had what I think they called the Predator model with the longer barrel. On paper the gun looks excellent: laminated checkered stock, adjustable trigger, I believe this one had a fluted barrel, and of course takes AR mags. But...

Having done more research, so far this is the only reason I don't own one. I've read the trigger is mediocre at best ("in excess of 10 pounds of pressure required to fire the gun"), and since its not a standard AR trigger one would have to work with what's there. While I've heard that any...

There are several Bi-Marts in Eugene, Oregon, but for some reason only the one on 18th and Chambers consistently has Hornady LeveRevolution .35Rem. They put out two boxes at a time, and every time I was in that part of town, I'd grab some. The only reason I'm giving up my top secret .35Rem...

You might want to check out the Perfect Union Mini-14/30 boards. QC seems to be hit or miss with Mini's these days. I bought one about a year ago, it took 200 rounds before the trigger became acceptably smooth, and about 300 rounds before it reduced from mis-feeding once every 10 rounds to...

Got it now, will do. Thanks again --

Thanks for that RC, just went to the safe and tried it, hadn't noticed it before because I wasn't looking for it.

I recently inherited my dad's early 80's 336 in .35rem, and it was still in the original box, with the price tag still on it. What your friend is asking for it is twice what it cost new, and half what its worth now (first statement fact, second statement opinion). Just as a reference.

I'm also very curious about this rifle. I've seen a few for sale on GunBroker, but I don't know anyone who has fired one, let alone owns one. I'm not sure, but from what I read one of the design "features" of the gun was to make it compatible with any standard AR upper -- of course using...

Good to know this, I inherited an unfired early 80's no-safety Marlin in .35 Rem. from my dad, and I was practicing fully lowering the hammer at the range, thinking (when hunting) I'd chamber a round and then lower the hammer gently for walking. I had no problems doing that (i.e. ND's), but it...

For me its not about the looks, or even the weight, I simply don't use things that rely on batteries on firearms (I keep a flashlight with me, but not attached to my gun). My eyes aren't getting any younger, and any rifle I have that I intend to hit something with, has an optic, so there's...

When I first read the OP I thought this was going somewhere else -- my CZ's bolt will jam if I use lacquered ammo. Specifically, when I try to pull the bolt back to eject the spent round, the bolt will jam partially open. It seems that the ejector (I hope I'm identifying the part correctly)...

As far as guns to pack with that are as versatile as possible, I suppose I'd either go with the Marlin 1894 .357magnum lever (1-4x scope), or the CZ 527 Carbine (2-7x scope) in 7.62x39. Both have back up irons if the scopes failed. Neither would leave much meat on a squirrel or rabbit, but for...

I recently received a new in the box early 1980's 336 in .35 Remington that was my father's. The box still had the original price on it, something like "On Sale - $116" I fit it with a Leupold 3-9, and its a tack driver. What a sweet rifle. It'll be my deer gun this fall, no doubt...

I used to have several .308's but had to bring the collection down to one, so I wanted as close to a "do everything" scope/rifle combination as I could find. Being that the hunting aspect for me would range from relatively close brush hunting to clearings where the shots opened up considerably...

I have a half dozen SKS's, one is an M. It's my understanding that the M's that were imported (mostly with the thumbhole stock) were made around 1993 to get in before the 94 ban, and were thrown together with leftover and low quality parts, strictly for a civilian market. They are not the same...

I have one and love it. The only thing that would get me to buy another is if they made another batch of the stainless/laminate ones.... damn, they were beautiful.

The only one I have personal experience with is the Mossberg MVP, and it was the shortest time I've ever owned a gun -- two weeks. I bought it lightly used, and sold it with about 30 more rounds through than when I bought it. I feel like I know what you're talking about -- the designs are...

I have completely abandoned anything with a battery, except for flashlights. I had an Eotech, and Aimpoint, various other red dots (and lasers for that matter), and I decided to make my entire gun 'collection' focused on practicality and reliability, so that any gun could be reached for in an...

Thanks for all the good information, everyone. :)
