Far King are you originally from Oneida county? I went to high school in Utica the old UFA my uncle who I lived with at the time was a carpenter at the air base in Rome
i think you and i agree more than we disagree i don't understand the beef it is what it is we all lament the beautiful bluing on older rifles and pistols but the new finishes are so much more durable and rust proof i come from a long line of carpenters and builders as a matter of fact some are...
can't argue with the quality but the actual strength for building hasn't been compromised back in the 70's when the ny building code went from 2x4 to 2x6 framing it wasn't for strength it was to get more insulation in the exterior walls just after the the second world war they bbuilt a whole lot...
don't know what the fuss is lumber has been what it is for years don't know of any house's falling down because 2X4 's aren't 2X4's code calls for 2X6's anyway so what's the beef
i don't know what a warm or cold chassis is? it is consistant so far with 2 loads the barrel isn't broken in yet i still have to try a 175 grain load it likes 168 grain sierra match kings so far
i bought a new remington sps varmint 308 with a 26" barrel mounted s stiener T5Xi 5 to 25 scope and put a trigger tech trigger in it it's an amazing shooter well under a half inch group at 100 yards with hand loads the problem I'm having is that I can't get a good cheek weld I put an after...
thinking this is one big boondogle not so good rifle and an unproven cartridge if memory serves they wanted a round at 3000 fps that would penetrate the new body armor by Sigs own numbers this thing won't do it especially out of a short barrel with a suppressor what a waste of tax payer money...
well finally got to see and hold a beregara rifle in of all places Thru way sports in Walden NY actually managed to compare Savage Tikka Bergara Ruger and the Sig cross. I have to say imho the Bergara was pretty nice but the Tikka had a better trigger and was smoother over all the Sig was a...
ok next question now that I've decided on the Hart barrel what trigger do you recommend? I have the stock trigger pulling at 2 lbs pretty consistently. I'd like it to be around 1 lb thinking Timmeny
Howa is a pretty good rifle my son owns 1 and it's not bad at all don't know why i forgot about them but the deed is done I'm rebarreling with a hart 26 remington varmint taper with a 1 in 10 twist
ok just pulled the trigger on a new Hart barrel 26" varmint taper 3 to 4 months to get it then how ever long for the smith to install still may buy a Tikka shot a 7mm 08 Tikka last week it was 1 smooth rifle I kinda like the bolt lift better than the remington 90 degree what the hell if I can...
Ed Shilen is a true champion bur I doubt that Ed has his hand on every barrel he's probably more of a consulton than anything else again I've nothing against Bergara I'm just the type of person who likes to kick the tires and take the car for a test drive advertisements and video's might get me...
not sure if I have any confidence in this video why would I care what a Marine thinks there hasn't been a Marine sniper make it to the international sniper games in years the army amu is a totally different story spanish steel has no real big following in the world German Sweedish American and...
went to Cabela's in hartford ct today they had no bergara rifles at all the clerk said they didn't have much call for them he had no opinion on them 1 way or the other they did have 3 savage 110 with the chassis stock 2 in 6.5 creed on 1 in 338 lapua pretty crude actions considering they were...
lets see I currently own 4 remington 700 or maybe 5 2 are hunting rifles the rest are varmint 26" heavy barrel so I'm well aquainted with the 700 I have nothing against bergara at all I just have never seen shot or held 1 so untill that happens they are not in the runing savage i've owned and...
will probably be shooting 168 gr reloads so 1 in 1o is the way I'll probably go Savage I know I've owned and I'm familiar with Bergara again is an unknown to me and it might be all youv'e said but unless I can touch it shoot it or personally know some one who has one it's out of the question...
I'm sure your right about Bergara but I personally don't know anyone who owns one non of the local gun shops have one in stock so that's a blind alley for me Tikka on the other hand is a known rifle I know people who own them I've shot them there in the stores there owned by Sako and Beretta so...
that's the problem today I've been a fan of Remington for most of my life do I trust them now ? hard to say from a conversation I had with them last week I don't think I do customer service guy was like talking to a robot we don't honor the warranty of the other owners my reply is I'm not asking...
just looked at a Remington 700 sps varmint on Gunbroker 26" barrel but 1 in 12 twist any thoughts. price would be around 700 after shipping and all the other fee's
so feeling the need for a new bolt gun really would prefer another Remmy 700 with a 26" barrel and 1 in 10 twist but they don't make 1 anymore called them to see if they would rebarrel a 243 700 that I rarely ever shoot they were not interested called Hart to have them rebarrel but it's a...
well lets see too powerful the FN Fal was carried by a whole lot of people for a lot of years and is still being used around the world so maybe the US Army should just man up I have my doubts that the 556 will penatrate armore at long range better than the 762 be that as it may an unproven case...
too heavy ok by how much same size case one brass one brass and steel one 277 the other 308 one battle proven the other not all ammo companies produce the 308 the other no one does billions and billions and billions of rounds on hand the other no one has seems like a no brainer to me I'm all for...
well never cared for the 556 any way but if memory serves the 7.62 will defeat body armor pretty well and we and NATO probably have billions and billions of it on hand it doesn't need a special case and will get the job done seems to me that would be the most cost effective way to go buy a new...
I'm looking for recommendations for a sun shade for my Stiener predator 6-24x50 scope my club range looks almost due west and with the low winter sun it's almost impossible to see the target from about 10:30 till around 1:00 Stiener has 1 on there web sight and I'm waiting to hear back if it...
Damn I must be 1 lucky guy cause most of my experience with unions is positive for 38 years I never payed for health care for me or my family I have a good pension and I will say it again the people make the union just like the people make the country on my last job at ABF we had a great shop...
It's been my experience that unions like everything else is what you make of them lucky for me my teamster local had and still has a very involved membership and after 38 years of service between 2 locals I have a very good pension that's pretty well funded for 1 and not so much by the other...
I've owned a bunch of 92's over the years a bit too big yup but probably the most reliable hand gun I've owned I'm down to 1 and older 92fs but I'm looking at a 92x along with my 1911's I can't imagine not having at least 1
