What a sweet rifle, Peter. For me, one of the most beautiful 94s. Can't wait to see it at the range. My introduction to the Model 94 was a saddle-ring carbine in .38-55 that my Dad had. My brother now has it.

A while back I had a chance to fire an AR with a "bump stock" at my local range and took a good look at the set-up. At that time, I told the owner that, as far as I was concerned, it was not legal and should not be legal. It would be an interesting legal battle, but an attachment that makes a...

Shinny, I don't know enough to give a quantitative answer to your question. I love BAT SV actions, mostly for all the reasons others seem to dislike them. They are short, stout, sturdy and a work of art to use. I have one in 30BR built by Jim Borden and one in 6PPC built by Dwight Scott. Either...

I have fired thousands of rounds, burning up some pretty good barrels in the process, trying to find a demonstrable difference between weighed and thrown charges. Not with N133 as I've never used it. My 30BR is loaded with H4198 (except for a dozen or so trying LT-32) and my 6PPC eat 8208XBR and...

I've coated about 1,000 of them, Jerry, without any problem. I clean them in Iosso Case Cleaner (liquid), rinse in hot water, dry off with hair dryer and then, just like you, into peanut butter jars with 1 cup of No. 7 shot, about 1/4 tsp. T-D and into my old Lyman vibrator. Makes beautiful...

Great shooting and congrats to both ... 30 BR or 30 PPC?

I have two SV's -- a 6 PPC and a 30 BR. If there are "problems" with them I haven't found 'em.

Them new eyes seem to be OK ... good shooting.

I've used nothing but WS2-coated bullets since 2004 and do not get into the use-it/don't-use-it debates. I have always disliked the dust that gets inhaled when coating using the usual steel shot process. Now I have experimented with the wet-coating process and am very pleased with it. No dust. I...

Welcome back. My quick answer is that nothing has changed and everything has changed! I think equipment that is 10-15 years old is still capable of shooting competitively, with possibly a new barrel or two. Tolerances have been amped up, materials seem to get better and machinery is excellent...

Jackie, do you use a different neck tension on the unturned necks?

Heartfelt prayers for Mrs. Coleman and the family. I met Mickey on this forum and he built an old used Savage I had into my first benchrest rifle. He was actually quite intrigued with the barrel nut and removable bolt head. He recut a used barrel that was kicking around and a McMillan stock that...

You're the man, Wilbur ... do what needs to be done and many thanks for all your efforts.

Jerry, I do not know what the wording of the law is, but my local FFL dealer accepts firearms from non-FFL holders on a daily basis. I think it may be just your dealer's preference. When I send actions or rifles to an FFL gunsmith, he can accept them without me going through an FFL (at least I...

First you need to decide if you are a joystick person or a knob twister, and that's hard to do without actually using them both. Also, most competitive rimfires use one-piece rests and you may want to go that way.

Some older .22 Hornet's had barrels that were .223" but to the best of my knowledge all current .22-caliber centerfire rifles are at .224". That includes the .223, .225 Winchester, etc.

First off, I want to say I like this forum. Thank you to Wilbur for his efforts. I know enough about web sites to know that this site is a child that needs constant attention. Over the years that I have been on BR.com, I have made friends, learned things I would not have had contact with...

In IBS Score rules, Light Varmint is 10.5-lbs. and Heavy Varmint is 13.5-lbs. Both of these shoot in the VFS class. The only function of LV/HV is in records which are still kept separate even though both weights compete together.

Paul, I know lots of people with high school educations have done well. I did OK myself and stayed on that first job for 45 years. I'm most concerned about young people getting jobs they can live and/or raise a family on. When I was young, the rule of thumb was that a month's rent in an...
