I'll take the leupold 6.5x20
-
+1 on the Glock mine is a 20, I love the 1911 platform but top end loads in the 10mm will shorten the life considerably, cz made/makes on also

Been to Scheels in SLC...much more selection than Cabela/Basspro, prices like Sportsmans...

Pray for me, my wife is already with god.
Hoofnit replied to muledeerarea33?'s topic in Prayer Requests
Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss, It gets better, grief doesn't go away but you get where you can function in spite of it. . . It's been 2 1/2 years. . . sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago, sometimes it feels like yesterday. . . I will pray that you are able to find peace. -
I'll take the 218 bee

The last couple I've done they just sent the new firing pin... Not hard to do but if you don't know how to take the rifle down you should let someone who does (a competent gunsmith) do it. A broken stock will be the result an they're made of unobtainium now.

" For anyone that does need to check with them, you can call their number at 800-852-5734 and give them your serial number to confirm it needs it. She (if it's the same person) will give you the address to send it back for the replacement. "

They have a following, 308 is a common caliber, yours is post 64 so there's not quite the prestige there, as with any old gun condition is everything, without seeing it $450 - $700 . . . your mileage may vary

Barrel Replacement with Factory Barrel - Headspace?
Hoofnit replied to 40-year-AZ-hunter's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I've replaced hundreds of rifle barrels over the years. . . exactly once I had one time up an be correct in headspace 😎 that being said its not much of a job for a qualified smith to do. -
Rely only on published data from reliable sources ie; powder an bullet manufacturers first of all !!!! Second if that's the powder you have pick a starting load, most data starts 10% or more from max loads, don't reduce more especially with slow powders. take your time, load a few (5 ish) in 1 grain or so increments (in a case that big with slow powder .5 gr increments will be hard to tell much, a primer change will be lots more evident). go shoot, check accuracy, its more important than jet wash (fps...) Third most loading manuals have a section in the front that details the process, good stuff there ! Every one has to start somewhere, have fun, be smart.

AA1680, 4227, 2400, Reloader 7, 4198 are all good powders...depends on what bullet an what you're trying to do with it.

You might consider posting the vintage of your rifle, the early Winchesters an Marlins require larger diameter bullets than the later ones (.379 vs .375)...

I have a 5.45x39 AR nothing fancy, no chrome lining, it has 3k down the pipe, mostly all Russian or Bulgarian surplus all corrosive primed, all steel...runs like a watch, shoots about 3moa with surplus ammo. recently Hornady made brass, bullets an dies available for this cartridge, shoots sub moa with hand loads...been pulling bullets from surplus an loading good bullets on the steel cases for coyotes (don't have to chase my brass) sub moa as well, case capacity is a little less, Our military uses steel cases for most all the big stuff, 20 an 30mm etc 🤷♂️ your mileage may vary, but in today's ammo market...

Mazda's are the same as a ford ranger for a bunch of years (ford owned them) 15" ranger rim from a similar year truck would work. . . junkyard guys could probably square ya away for $20 for a rim an tire. just bought one here in flag for my daughters ranger. . .

WTB Desert Bighorn Cape for shoulder mount
Hoofnit replied to oflag's topic in Bighorn Sheep Hunting
I heard a story a few years back of a cape and $10k traded to another hunter for his full hide for a life size mount. . . -
Reloading for the 577-450 is an expensive proposition, check Ebay for dies, probably gonna set ya back a hundo or so, couple guys on Gunbroker sell bullets the proper size, lots of the brass is berdan primed, no good options for repriming that now. Good luck, they're a blast to shoot !

Did I screw up? ... brass cleaning
Hoofnit replied to bowhunter-tw's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Get a packet of good 'ol koolaid, any flavor will do but orange seems to work best, dissolve it in a pint or so of water, put your brass in a suitable container (plastic) and cover with the koolaid you can add a little more water if need be, it will safely take the tarnish off, soak longer if need be ...rinse an dry. been using this method for cleaning range brass for 30 years or better... -
Probably 8mm or 9mm x 57 Mauser. . .

I have a Lee Shaver long range Soule sight with a Hadley eye cup for a Shiloh Sharps, I got the opportunity to move to an optical sight, only used this a couple times, purchased 05/20. Paid $363, asking $325 shipped, or trade for Leupold optics, Vari X III, VX3, 4.5x14, 3.5x10, 1.5x5 or others, all dependent on condition, can text or email pictures, this is a very nice sight !
