    Thoughts on a Bolt 22lr

    My son and I both have CZ 457 Varmints in 22lr. I did have a 455 but like the 457 as much or more. They may be more than $500.00 now, but are worth it. You can swap barrel to 17Hmr or 22Mag. and that can be a plus.

    Boyd's or Stocky's Stocks

    I am getting back into a set aside project, my Howa 1500 in 270 Win. I want to re-stock with a thumbhole. Boyd's and Stocky's both have thumbhole stocks but I like the Stocky's a bit more. I do not care for the cooling vents on the Boyd's and last contact with them is they will not produce it...

    HOWA questions here

    Hi Chad, thank you for asking if all is well. I am 11 days away from being 74 but still have both feet firmly planted. Any reason for Poly over metal ? I had also read, gotta quit reading stuff, that the metal mags allow a bullet to be seated longer than in a Poly mag. I plan to use the...

    HOWA questions here

    Question for Legacy Sports. I have a Howa/Hoque 1500 in 270 Win. I am considering purchase of the Oryx Chassis along with 2 metal mags. I have read that there is a fitment problem with the mags against the bottom of the action. If I purchase this chassis and mags ( $600.00 +/- ) from you...

    NM UNIT 2 Oct 17-21 Rifle

    On warm afternoons they do go down to the lake and swim. In the evening I'm sure they go to the Reservation for dinner at the casino. I just had to do it.

    Washington elk

    I lived in Whatcom County for 13 yrs., miss it , loved it. I would contact WDFW and find out which areas in Eastern Wa. has the best populations of ELK. Find a tribe that is close to the area and go make friends.

    Pillar bed Howa 1500

    BcGunworks, If I understand you correctly you would not pillar a laminated stock like I am wanting from Boyds, is this correct ? My action does have full bottom metal. Would you still glass bed the action. Thanks, Jerry

    Pillar bed Howa 1500

    Thank you for your replies. The video is of help. I watched Larry Potterfield's video also, he has tools that I can only dream about. McMaster-Carr has aluminum spacers that I can cut as needed, Score Hi has a nice kit but not sure I like adjustable pillars. Their mounting bolts and T...

    Pillar bed Howa 1500

    Here soon I am ordering a Boyds Thumbhole stock for my 270 Howa. I want to pillar and glass bed the action. I found a kit online from Score Hi gunsmith for the Howa and that is all. Those of you that did such a project what did you use for pillars ? Boyds does not as of yet offer anything...

    Stock upgrade for Weatherby Vanguard - Hogue or Bell and Carlson?

    I am wanting to ditch the Hogue on my Howa 270 as well. I have considered the ORYX by MDT, it is a chassis more than a stock and not very light, about 2# heavier but seems to be comfortable. Howa is offering them on their rifles.

    Moving to new state

    I live in Mew Mexico and have not seen an ELK in 35 years. I did see one at the Woodland Park Zoo near Seattle a few years back. You might try up there.

    NM info appreciated

    You did not expect a straight answer from this group did you ? I did hunt up there about 40 years ago in the snow on the Elliot Barker with a any elk permit, got a young bull, saw a few more ELK. They are there.

    New NM Gov. asks for Game Comish resignations

    I could be wrong but I think it has nothing to do with tags or drawings. I would come closer to believing it will have something to do with lessening the coyote hunting and adding more wolves. The state land comm. is already poised to not allow coyote hunting contests on the state land that...

    35 Remington & hard cast lead bullets

    I shoot a 336 in 35 Rem but only with jacketed bullets. There is very little printed data on lead for the 35 Rem. Lyman reloading manuals have data, the older manuals may be better. Commercial cast boolits are as expensive as jacketed and not that easy to come buy that are suitable for the...

    Winchester Model 670

    Clean it, oil it and shoot it. The scope may be worth keeping. It is part of your family heritage.
