    Have only owned two Shilens, both excellent. My 1 in 8 30" .284 won the Nationals so can't have been too bad.. The other was a 6.5x47 and that was a tack driver.

    No one comes anywhere close to Mike Bennet for writing skill or Newton McConachie for historical observation. Holden is second tier imo

    Some of you are still confusing half open bolt with half cock: they are 2 completely different scenarios. A half open bolt is when the cartridge is half way into the chamber, so the bolt needs to...
