Does anyone have any experience with Nosler 60 grain ballistic tips on deer (which shoot exceptionally well in my Kimber Montana). As opposed to the 55grainers they have a slight cannelure which may...

I've owned/own or shot a number of 22 WMRs. From experience they are either really good or the complete opposite of that. I have almost exclusively used Hornady 30gr V-max - in 80% of circumstances...

Has anyone managed to lighten a trigger in a T&C Encore Prohunter?

The two US spring kit suppliers that I am aware of won’t ship (McCarbo and Bellm).

I’ve had my 243 shortened and heavily...

At least on the ones i have worked on, on the ramp there are two screws that are soldered on to the barrel (head down) so that the threads stick up - if you look on the ramp you should be able to...

Yep; don’t beat the bolt handle and taking it to a gunsmith is sensible.

As it seems the bolt will lift, and if you want to have a go yourself, things I’d try are (1) remove the trigger and bolt...

I coincidentally paid $1600 for mine as a bare rifle but it is an absolute minter - I thought it was a very good buy at that price. Looks like someone has tragically had a go at ‘checkering’ yours? ...

I am not sure that Model 1 butt plates shrinking is correct - my understanding is that the butt plates were always small relative to the stock size. From a BRNO collector's perspective, having a...

Looks like a nice Ruger 77 in good working condition. Ruger 77 Mark 1 wood blues (unlike Tikkas!) don’t seem to demand drug prices on resale. I’d put it at $750 with rings only (with -$100 for an...

As a small time Sako L46/L461(Vixen)/75/85 collector (l have 11 in 222/223/222 Rem Mag) I’d strongly recommend you keep it original at this stage. Once it is unoriginal it will always be that and...

I’ve got one (a lovely Sako L461 - part of my Sako Vixen collection). I do have some brass but if you have some I would be keen- will PM you.

Really sad given the action make. I would have thought getting scope bases straight would be relatively ‘bread and butter’ for a good gunsmith and easier on a Mauser given the flat base/reference...

I had a crossman air rifle as a kid that had a very thin barrel that was a liner floating in a length of thin tube/pipe. It would have been very easy to bend. Your ‘friend’ is still a plonker...

I’ve had really good success forming, for example, 30 Gibbs from either 270 or 30-06 brass using something like AR2205, oatbran as a filler and then stabbing the neck into a candle and breaking it...

Hard to see from the photos; but given that the Kahles appears to be an Alloy tube/more contemporary model (? I might be wrong?) I expect it is a 1” scope tube. I’ve got several Kahles but don’t...

I’m actually still working my way through a lifetime supply of Remington brass. I bought the Bertram brass for a 25-350 Rem Mag (which I’ve got a reamer and dies for and will build one day to be...

I have bought some within the last couple of years - Bertram brass on special order via Dead Eye Dicks...

Super calibre and absolutely love mine (a very custom Remington). However; well and...

I have not tried a Kidd but definitely dig deep and buy a volquartson. It is light years ahead of the BX trigger - the BX I had although not bad was barely better than a stoned and tidied up factory...

These (or at least the 3 sets I’ve bought) have been hex head.

Here’s my other ‘late’ Winchester...

Both superb classical sporting centrefires...

Dropped my lovely 1910 401 off yesterday. Expect it WAS the best condition one in NZ - it would have fired less than 20 shots (mainly by me) since manufacture.

I had and still have dies...

I struggled to get good velocity on 142’s with AR2225. RL33 was a revelation and put me comfortably at 3246fps with 142’s with moderate pressure.

Are there any particular parts/sections/rifles you want?

I actually have a copy somewhere. Paid about $350 for it landed a number of years ago - was expecting something enormous and authoritative...

Nice rifle. I’ve got Winchester big bores in 356 (basically the rarer 35 cal version of 307) and 375 Winchester Big Bore. I used to have a 307 as well but sold it as it was not quite collector...

For what it’s worth; what I’d pay (and I own 3 BSA Hunters in 222 and 22 Hornet; having had an extensive Hunter collection in the past):

- BSA Hunter 222 - good used $800-1200; excellent perhaps...

I’ve had Gunworks do this for me on a 7.62x39. Was in part forced on me when Baikal’s normally good (?) quality control let a rifle out of the factory with a grossly off-centre chamber.
