    Yes, you can definitely get a new tube put on it. Make it a stainless one, and it’ll last forever.

    Mathias liked post by Hunter_Nick On thread : Twist for a short mag .223
    Thanks for the input everyone. I reckon I’ll just go with a 1-12 like it currently has. The way I look at it, the .223 is a varmint rifle, so I’ll twist it for those projectile weights. I’ve got a...

    The 168 z max is the same as the a-max with a different coloured tip.

    I totally get that faster twist is safer, but with a short mag I reckon there’s a point where the pills are too long and robbing horsepower. The better question would be: What is the heaviest...

    I saw a dude dump a new VX6 on the ground at the range, after the rings somehow jumped out of the back of the Sako dovetail. Couldn’t believe it myself, but it happened. The dude said ‘the shop...

    Yep. CLR is the ticket. Apply some with a cotton bud, and you’ll be amazed at how it bubbles then wipes straight off. Lifechanging!

    Yeah I had a new model stainless 7 that was 1-9 twist. Worked well with 75gr Hornady BTHP projectiles. Good game killers too. Wish I still had it….

    And so after 89 1/4 hours of planing, chiselling, scraping, sanding and much thinking and looking, here is what I have. This is after the first ‘base coat’ of oil, which now needs to dry a couple of...

    Like most that have posted here, I’ve got 2 low powered scopes. A 2.5-8 Leupold on the 6x45, and a 1.5-5 Leupold that will be going on the .358 when it’s finished. One thing I’ve learned is to not...

    Interesting (and disappointing) that there was no 162gr 7mm projectiles on that list. I hope that’s not the same around the other retailers, or my .358 is going to be doing the lion’s share of the...
