Don't know what is going wrong. Never had a bit of trouble with my Marlin 60 rifle until today. Went out to the range with my daughter to just do some plinking and get some father/daughter time together this afternoon after work. To check the scope and see if it was still sighted in alright I...

Oregon has some whacky rules about their muzzleloader hunting for deer/elk. Not all of the modern muzzleloaders are legal here. Is there anyone from here that can tell me which modern muzzleloaders are legal here. I am under the impression that the ones that use 209 shotgun primers are illegal...

I have started to save for my dream rifle. I have figured out everything except the scope. I am pondering three scope options. I have listed all three below as they are listed at MidwayUSA. The list is in no particular order. 1-Burris Eliminator Laser Rangefinding Rifle Scope 4-12x 42mm...

Some of you know I just finished my stock for my Weatherby Vanguard in 300 Win Mag. It came out really nice too! Now I am doing a "Tack Driver" stock from Richard's Microfit in a black/gray laminate. I understand that the laminate is made out of beechwood. It is very hard and somewhat brittle...

As I said already, I LOVE my Ruger P95. Yes there is a BUT. I bought it as my concealed carry gun. It is heavy and bulky. I am going to have to either trade it or sell it to get the new pistol. Here is why: If I carry it in my pants, they fall down; Even with a belt. I need something...

After finding this thread; Alright, calling you stock refinishing experts! I am wondering if my idea to Tru Oil my stock is a good idea or not. I would like to hear both sides of the argument here. Especially the people who have used and had good luck with either method. I am putting a whole...

I have worked up only one load so far for my .300 Win Mag. Winchester brass CCI Magnum Primers H-4350 @ 69.5Gr 165 Gr Speer SPBT This is the load it likes so far, but I do not recommend you use this load without working up from minimum yourself. I posted my load so that maybe someone with...

I received my stock from Richard's Microfit yesterday. I took lots of pictures before I did anything to it. I want to document the whole process with pictures and words and maybe find a free web hosting site, so that I can do sort of a "How To" website on stock shaping, finer points of inletting...

Do you guys want a story? Or do you want me to get to the point? I do want your opinions, so let me know how you want me to deliver my quandary. I could do either. Because, behind every rifle, there is a story; Right? Mikey!

I found a barrel that is ready to install at Numrich's for my US Cal 30 Model of 1917 or M1917 for short. Have you any experience with this barrel? If so, is this a good deal? Here is the link to the part. M1917 Barrel @ Numrich's e-gunparts.com I would eventually like to return this old relic...

I don't know what it is, but every time I see a thread about someone getting a new rifle chambered in "X" caliber, and their intended purpose for that new rifle is "X", everyone has to come on and start talking about how "X" caliber might be good but "Y" caliber would do it better. I know...

I took my son out to the range yesterday. All was going great. I was teaching him to shoot and he was doing everything I was telling him and he was hitting the 100yd target with great consistency. He was shooting my Weatherby Vanguard .243 Win. I decided to let him be as he was doing good and I...

I have never seen one in real life. I have only ben able to sit here and drool over pictures of the ones you guys have posted pics of. I think I like the AR15 platform type rifle, but I don't even know where to start to figure out what I like. I like the looks of the M16 Commando type rifle with...

This was a whim project because I was bored, but it worked! I will try to keep this short. But you do get 50+ pictures to look at at the end. If you want to just skip my bantering, page down to the end and get your fix on my pics. I captioned each picture so you will still get the jest of it...

I am ordering a gunstock from Richard's Microfit and wanted to know which would be better for my .300 Win Mag rifle? It seems to me that I had been told that English walnut is stronger and would be better for a magnum rifle. Have you heard this? Or would Claro Walnut be sufficient...

Action bedding questions... Less felt recoil maybe? I have recently bedded the actions of 2 rifles. I have never done this before, but I was able to do it to both rifles without too much difficulty. The first rifle I did was my US model of 1917 30 Caliber Remington, commonly call an M1917...

I started this load at minimum recommended powder weight according to 2 reference manuals. They both concurred that the minimum is 66Gr and the maximum is 70Gr of H4350 when using a 165Gr bullet. I used a Speer 165Gr BTSP for this test and made up 35 cartridges for this test. Load A was...

About 30 or so years ago, my wife and her mom (now deceased) built this rifle from some sort of kit that her mom found. About 8 years ago, when her mom passed away, her step dad, pulled it out of the closet he had it in, and asked my wife if she remembered it? My wife about fell over in...

Alright guys, I need your help to decide which one to go with. I am going to use it for Black Bear and Elk hunting this year here on the Oregon coast. I have my deer rifle, which is a Weatherby Vangard in .243 Win. I love this rifle. The fit and feel of this rifle is tremendous. I can shoot it...

I know... Before you say it. This has been covered so many times. Well, I tried a search for this info and only found the mention of Pressure or Overpressure on 15 or more pages each, and yet none of the posts I tried tells what to look for, so I figured I would be specific and ask my question...
