agree on eye relief. I pulled the 2.5-8 off my charger and put it on the 30-30 last night. At 8x I can't hold it at arms length and get a full sight picture. Good thing is the 30-30 does not kick...

just for people searching in the future. Looks like currently wheel weights are $0.13/lb when I posted this. I paid 11 cents/pound last year at the local tire shop so price has went up a little bit....
Agree, the wiegand redhawk mount is higher than I would prefer, but since I am using a scope on that gun I can just use lower rings. With many of the red dots the mount is a fixed height so it is...
in the same boat with bad eyes/bifocals. Hi vis sights won't work for me. I can either focus on the sights or the target, at least that is how my glasses seem to function. Red dot all the way for a...
nice guns, had one years ago and wish I still did!
I just ordered a contender in 30-30. First contender, really looking forward to getting it!
the burris ballistic plex looks interesting. I will keep my eye out for a dealer that has some in stock. Not finding any burris handgun scopes available anywhere except optic planet but I have heard...
Yeah, I knew leupy axed the 2x a while back when I went looking for one for a new revolver. I have a fxII 2x I bought new 18yrs ago and an old m8 2x I got at a gun show a couple years ago. Bought a...
Anyone used the intermediate relief scout scopes on a contender pistol? That would give me a few more options. Burris 2.75 says 8-14" eye relief...
I will check those out. Several online dealers show the scopes as out of stock. I am hoping there is just strong demand and it isn't that burris is getting out of the pistol scope game...
so, what options do we have left for pistol scopes? Just the burris model I am guessing? I ordered a 30-30 contender super 14" last week and was looking around the internet for a scope and just found...

welded up a couple tonight, after finishing sorting the first bucket.

I think it is 3 or 3.5 in wide, probably 6" long. Made about a 7.5 lb brick when I had just clamped plates on the...

Since the Fryxell book talks about wheel weights being a great material for most bullets I picked up two more 5 gallon buckets of weights from a local shop. Talked a little to the shop owner and he...

I have downloaded the Fryxell book and am reading it. I probably will wait to do another cast until after I complete it.
30-30 will be used for hunting once I get an "accurate" hunting load worked...

I had a steel muffin pan in my hand a couple weeks ago at a rummage sale but one hole had a dent in it so I figured I would wait for a "better" one. I just used a 5" long piece of C channel and C...

cast up a few tonight. Just as many rejects as good ones (49 "keepers") but I am learning. At first my lead was too hot (frosted) and then I let the mould cool too much and the bullets were a bit...

Beaverton, MI. About an hour NW of Saginaw.

forgot to mention, I also ordered 2lbs of powder coat from a person on here, and over-payed $6 for a toaster oven at a rummage sale to bake them. Going to build the gas check maker from the plans on...

Hello from mid Michigan. I am attempting to get started casting for my grandad's 1953 Marlin 336 30-30 (ballard rifling). I slugged the barrel and seemed to be .308. I ordered a lee 309-170-f mold...
