Savage Model 42 Feels Solid I handled one at a gun store today and I was impressed with the quality. The pivot point between the action and barrels is held by hex screws (one on the left side and one on the right side). This takedown feature seems to be the major weakness of the Model 42...

Threading Benelli Super Nova Tactical for Choke Tubes I had Carlson's thread my Super Nova Tactical (with rifle sights) for the Tru-Choke system. The Tru-Choke system uses threading that is non-proprietary. Briley's threading-choke system is proprietary. Go with Carlson's system that way...

The Balance Point The 10mm cartridge is designed to hold just enough fast powder to achieve the highest velocity in pistol length barrels. However, if you switch to a carbine barrel + 16" then you can benefit from a slower burn rate powder. Unfortunately, the slower burn rate powder can...

Tikka T3 Safety: Watch Out! One thing not mentioned above is that the sliding safety on the Tikka is easily pushed off safe. A sliding safety should be designed and function along the lines of CZ's or Weatherby's Mark V rifles.

Burris Timberline 2x - 7x with ballistic plex I have one on a CZ 527 in 7.62 x 39 and it is working out great. The glass is very good; I can see small targets (e.g., birds or squirrels) clearly and see their true colors). The ballistic plex is very nice for taking longer shots by giving you a...

I have data with Reloader 7 (used with bolt action rifle!) Reloader 7 is slightly slower than AA1680 and according to Speer Manual 13, 28 grains of AA1680 is max while 27 grains of RL 7 is max for the 125 grain bullet. I have loaded 25 grains of RL 7 for a 150 grain Barnex TSX bullet...

Yes the 7.62 x39 works on deer I harvested a 175 lb buck this year with the CZ 527 in this caliber. My load was a barnes ttsx .308, 130 grain with 26.5 grains or Reloader 7. This round had very good penetration, however, was light on the shock effect.

9.3 x 62 is a versitile cartridge I have the CZ full stock version of the 9.3 x 62. I like it because it is a lot of fire power in a small compact package. The recoil is moderate for the amount of plow through the bullets have from this cartridge. I have loaded a variety of paper-patched...

One Solution: CZ 527 in 7.62 x 39 (Little Russian) I have one and I load the small cartridge with 32 caliber bullets and small to medium charges of pistol powder. I get MOA with the Hornandy 85 and 100 grain XTP bullets.

CZ 527 in 7.62 x 39 is a Survival Rifle This is just what you are looking for: Notice it is a carbine and in a big game capable cartridge: 7.62 x 39 (the little Russian). You can put 20 rounds in one pocket and not even fill them there. Iron sights are standard. As picture it weights...

Sig 229 Feed Problems I have a 229S that after about 6000 rounds would leave a round shovel nosed jammed into the feed ramp. It turned out to be a worn recoil spring. I think the slide was moving back (and forward) too fast. The slide's action actually broke the slide release lever before I...
