My brother-in-law recently passed away... when going through his Dad's guns my nephew found the TC 50 Hawken his dad had built from a kit years ago.. he was just a little squirt and "helped" his dad...

The cedar shavings sold for pet bedding. Got a bag at Walmart. The thread is here on this sight. I think the title is My Homemade Black Powder.

I used paint cans in fire pit, but cans burnt thru after about a dozen batches. Now I use a Dutch oven with hole drilled in lid then plug with appropriate sized bolt when I take it off. Try to use...

I have a Rem 700 MTN rifle, using Weaver two piece bases(35 &36) Badger 30mm rings. Two scopes were used previously on other rifles. One a Weaver the other Konus. I have tried to optically center...

For clarification, I am unable to adjust the elevation low enough to zero it, or the rifle shoots to high

Thanks to all of you. I will recheck optical center and try to get to range in next two days..thanks agay

I don't need to raise elevation, I need to loser it

I cannot lower the poi with two different scopes on a Rem 700 MTN rifle. I am currently using high rings. From what I can find I could go to medium ring and still have enough clearance for 50mm...

It was a very good show... let us in early and I got some treasure...a couple old powder measures, loading blocks, a H&R receiver and some of those ugly"J" words... didn't see much in casting...

Thanks again for all your input. Pressman, I won't use Kroil on the measure itself. I only used a small amount so I could remove the brass cap without damage. Right now, I doubt that it useable due...

Thanks for the info. My tube has the flat end

I just bought my first B&M "Visible" powder measure at a local gunshow yesterday. From what I can tell it seems to be complete with glass and brass cap for the hopper(applied some Kroil to allow...

I have the Buchannon and think it is Rock solid and well crafted. Glad I made the decision to go with it

I will miss the York show due to work. It is my favorite show in the state. Went to Oaks on Sunday and thought it was geared more to modern "black rifles". To each their own...York usually has a...

Good to go! Shot out to 200 yds today. Only had one wild one( either completely of target or in same hole). I think was wild ,.,. I forgot to run a couple dry patches thru it to remove oil from...
