    Anybody work with the Marlin MR-7 rifle?

    Hi .357 Mag. The trigger on the Mr-7 looks like a copy of the Winchester M 70. That trigger is very easy to adjust to lighter pull. Perhaps an aftermarket trigger for the M 70 would be a replacement. The MR-7 has the front of the bolt like a Rem 700 and the rest of the action is...

    Colour cased actions, good or bad idea?

    Hi Gang: I saw a custom rifle built on a Mauser 98 action that had the bolt and action colour case hardened. I am thinking that this would be a possible way to warp an action or bolt and perhaps change the strength of the parts. I seem to remember that there were some military...

    Ruger 77V, Is it any good?

    Hi Gang: I was looking at a used Ruger 77V in .220 Swift at a gun store. I had a 77V in 25-06 and the barrel was trash from the get go! The bore was .259 and was made by Wilson Barrels in the 70's. It would not shoot well so I sold it. I imagine that I will have to re barrel the Swift...
