What should the scope height be set at when using iron sights? My guess is centerline of barrel to top of front sight, assuming front sight is a post. Comments?

if you were shooting offhand or even prone, i have always been told that vertical stringing indicates a problem with breath control. i don't think that is possible with bench rest unless your rests ar ...

I shoot that same bullet in a 270 Rem 700 and got best results 0.020 off the lands. You really do need a comparator to go along with the OAL gage especially if you are getting close to the lands. A bu ...

With my handle, how can I not add my two cents?

I agree with the previous posts. I have never bought a gun that wasn't then taken apart, cleaned and studied. Some of them were then shot but not all ...

I've got a Reflex Prowler that I bought from BassPro a few years back. It's decent and gets the job done but it is clearly not as quiet as a high end bow, even with Sims vibration dampners. I've been ...

Emma loves helping Grandpa reload. She often says "let's make bullets." When she come over.

I have given outside neck turning a try using a Forrester neck turning tool. It is a pain but at least it only needs done once. The first time I tried it was for 270Win in a SigArms SHR970 rifle. One ...

i've been to at least a dozen gun shows in the last few years and have never bought a firearm at one. I have bought accessories, parts, reloading supplies, and, of course, jerky.

The best sources I ...

I've reloaded for a number of years and recently decided I want to cast some of my own bullets. I found a Lyman lubrisizer on ebay and know i need a lead melting pot, molds, sizing dies, and top punch ...

[quote="fireball 3"]:-D almost forgot= guncollector, you have a very nice rifle there. keep up the good work. ther is nothing more satisfying that building something yourself. hope you build more. Dav ...

i sporterized a Yugo vz24 but left it in 8mm. Good project. Lot's of fun. Had a little help from a guy with some experience and a few more tools but did nearly all the work myself. Here is the result.

I picked up one of these in 25-35 at an auction over the next weekend. It's a takedown version - anybody know what that means? The forearm obviously comes off with a little lever on the bottom but I d ...

The Ruger pistol might be the most valuable of the firearms. Depends on the Marlin's condition. The Rossi and the Martini-Enfield, again depending on condition, are probably worth no more than half of ...

Thanks for the ideas! My Yugo is an M48 in good condition. I think I will try some more agressive loading before anything else. I can always re-chamber later.

A couple years back I took a Yugo Mauser and sporterized it. New stock, turned down bolt handle, re-blued, scoped, etc. I left it in 8mm mauser and it shoots pretty well - about 1.5" at 100 yards. Thi ...
