    Lee Shaver is in high demand and told me upfront that it’s going to take about a year to get to my rifle, so it will be a while before I get it back, but I will be happy to post photos as soon as I...

  4. Recommended Books on BPCR Silhouette Shooting

    Gentlemen:

    I was invited to shoot a 22lr silhouette match over the weekend and really enjoyed it. This was my first foray into such competitive shooting (excluding CAS). My buddies told me that...

    Re-Barreling a Sharps

    Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith that can do a little custom work on my Sharps? I have a Krieger 35 inch round barrel blank on the way and will need a gunsmith to thread it and chamber it to...

    The shooter, in this case, is always of dubious quality- lol. The cartridges were both freshly loaded and 1 1/2 years old, with no discernible difference in function.

    My load did not change, in fact I used ammo from the same lot that I loaded up for the antelope hunt, since the outfitter guide recommended bringing at least fifty rounds to the hunting camp. I...

    Sudden Loss of Sharps Accuracy

    Gentlemen:

    I wanted to garner some opinions about what could be the cause of the loss of accuracy in my Pedersoli Sharps 45-70. First some background: I have had this rifle for about twenty...

    Yes, the threads are standard 5/8X24 inch and there is a longer threaded length than the minimum required for the brake and lock nut. I just realized I have been misspelling “brake” in my posts!

    Gentlemen:

    I took the SFAR back out to the range today and made a stunning discovery. I reinstalled the muzzle break on the barrel and as I did I thought of the Browning BOSS system that Browning...

    Gentlemen:

    I took the SFAR out today and shot it without the muzzle break on the end of the barrel and also turned off the gas block (setting "0") to see if this would have any effect on accuracy....

    ReconGuy,

    My Ruger SFAR is the 16" barrel version. The barrel is advertised to be a heavy barrel, as I recall.

    Larry,

    Perhaps my expectations of accuracy from this rifle are a bit too high. It will group two inches at 100 yards with factory ammo. I did expect it to do better than one inch at 100 yards...

    Really, I did not know that the '88 was being made that late. This one does have a magazine that does not require a clip, but can be used by loading cartridges by hand.

    I suppose there would not be anything wrong with leaving it as is. The stock, however, is quite ugly, and I think I would like to change it out to something much more sporty. A globe front and peep...

    Howdy y’all,

    I recently purchased a Ruger SFAR. I have had to send it back twice to Ruger for warranty work within a month of owning it (yikes!). Ruger made good on the warranty work, first...

    I have been using 13.5 grains of IMR 4227 with the Lee 180 grain gas check boolit, but have only shot about 10 shots through it. I made some 8.15X46R cases from a few 25-35 Winchester cases I had on...

    JSnover,

    You inspired me to make a similar breech seating tool. Even the little German guy carved on my Schuetzen's buttstock is celebrating!

    JSnover,

    How much adjustment are you able to get out of the case and threaded rod tool that you made? I got some 8 mm rod in the mail today and am thinking about making one of those tools.

    Bullshot,

    It is awkward off the bench, indeed. I shot my Aydt for the first time a few days ago with Lee 180 grain gas check 8 mm (0.323") boolits and it shot reasonably well, although nothing to...
