Very nice, I cant wait to see it altogether and also see how it shoots. I am envious.

Congrats Val on another fine find.

I have tried about everything, and always go back to a candle, it works and I can buy a whole box of dinner candles at a local thrift store from time to time, for about $1 a box, which will do me 10...

What a nice rifle, thanks for sharing it, the pics and the story.

I have a 7x30 Waters 12" TC that is begging to go hunting this year, but I also have a Browning 1895 30/06 that I have a strong hankering to take a long. It will be hard for me to leave my 6.5x284...

I ended up removing the Weaver Holo sight, and added a set of metal, flip up adjustable sights off of Amazon for $21 and it was easily zeroed and I like it even more.

Don't worry, I like the stock just as it is, just the way it came from the factory, and has been glass bedded to fit the action.

Yep, common on Rem 700s and their variants. That 6 Dasher is a good round, I have a buddy who is crazy about them.Nice pic of the rifle also.

Val this is my first 40X as well. I got a deal on it because the stock looked so rough, and it had been on a benchrest type forum classifieds for a month, mine was the first offer so he took it. A...

Most of you that know me on this site, know that I love all types of traditional single shot rides, such as Rolling blocks, Hi Walls and Sharps, shoot one of them almost daily. I also like levers and...

I bought 2 1897 Remington Rolling blocks actions the other day for future builds. I am definitely building the first one in 40/65 since I have recently fell in love with the two single shot rifles I...

Albert rim gave you the easy way out, I did the same thing with the two I have.

Here is my take. For the .22, hands down a Marlin 39 with full length barrel, hands down the most accurate .22 lever I have ever had, still got my first one. Even at todays inflated prices. Steel and...

I have a no 3 in .223, that shoots 1/2" groups with 50, 55 and 69gr slugs, the 69 is usually smaller than a half inch, with a 4x12x40 vortex. Guess I am just lucky.

The primary reason I started this thread, was thinking of dropping on a 350 upper on a AR I have, and putting a day/night scope on it, as I will have a chance to hunt them where they damage field...

I have some prime spots to bear hunt this year here in KY, plus some areas which more than likely will suffer from crop damage, and will be able to bear hunt them there. Looking over my guns, just...

Good call Val. I have done exactly what he said, then removed the stock, cleaned both surfaces off of the glue, and used some paste silver solder to solder it on with a propane torch. I use a C...

I recently traded into a nice 788 in .222 Rem at a local pawn/gunshop. I am pretty good friends with the owners and they know I like older odd stuff. They had bought a entire estate collection off...

Thanks for all the replies guys. I am fast becoming a fan of the 40-65 it really shined all the way to 750, with consistent hits with fewer sighters, than any of the 3 single shots. Val had...

I have a handi rifle made for modern rounds, and I have a 20 gauge barrel I could cut off and stub it. Thinking about making a rifle in either 40/65 or 30/30. I would imagine either one would work...

Thanks Thomas. At the far right side, you can see a finger of shade out in the field, that is 500 yds. The 650 and 750 are on up in the end. It was an idyllic day, cool temps, breeze blowing, good...

I sent TBG a pic to post.

A group of friends took me out yesterday to a new 750 yds range they have been working on. It has a couple of cement tables on cement slabs set back in the woods under some huge oaks in the shade...

I have a very nice Sporter 8x58R, Remington made it for them. With the Lee mold, my alloy comes out at 245 grs, with GC and Lyman Orange magic lube. It has the flip up express sight on the rear, and...

I posted this awhile back and it seems to have vanished. I recently got a 8# keg and a #1 bottle of H 108. This is newer stuff, in the plastic jugs. All data for handguns or cast bullets in rifles...
