So i want a sharps rifle but dont have 3 grand to spend on it let alone use the rifle there to pretty but I have a henry 45-70 I want to do some modifications to it Id like to extend the barrel to 30 inches dose anyone at all know who could get me a barrel and install it via gunsmith thanks ?

So happy with this rifle. I surprised my nephew and we finally had time to sight it in.

First 3 shots and bam 0.5-0.7 inch grouping from the Hornady Precision Hunter ELDX.

Going to be a great season for that 30 point buck 🦌

Yes, I found it on ammoseek for cheap, and I know not really an efficient way to store ammo but I like dumping bullets into cans for fun

There are no markings on it. Measures 28⅜" long. Any good guesses? Thanks!

Just got her and I cant wait. The rifle was used, but in amazing shape.

I’m doing some research on how people run their optics/dots/holos in r/ar15 : risers, mounts, swapping setups, and what annoys you about it.

I put together a short survey (about 2 min, anonymous) because I’d rather judge on stats than from forum arguments. I’ll post the results back here once enough people answer, so everyone can see how others run their setups and what the current meta is lol.

Here is the link to the survey: https://tally.so/r/WOGGLa

Also happy to just read your answers in the comments. What do you run and why?

I just got my hands on this B-14 HMR. I’m trying to adjust the length of pull to the shortest possible length, and I got the short screws from Bergara’s website, but I still can’t get the recoil pad tightened down all the way. In the second pic you can see the gap between the stock and the recoil pad but those screws are as tight as I can get them without stripping them. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Thank you guys for the help in advance I appreciate any tips.

My friend just inherited some guns and rifles from his dad. This one is a Sears one that has been in the family for at least 60 years +. I'm new to this stuff, but is it a Marlin or Winchester or ???

Well not over, still a week to go, but my tags are filled. Sadly neither one of these got used to fill the tags, the Bow and SA got the duty. Off to bed girls, hope to play before next season

Hello all! I’m sure there are hundreds of threads very similar to my question, but I wanted to throw out my personal situation and get some feedback. I’ve recently won my first gun on a gun bash ticket! 33 years old and $1,000s deep into tickets, and I finally won 😂 I won a browning x-bolt 2 hunter in whatever caliber they have available when I go to get the gun.

Before we get into details I own LOTS of rifles. And I hand load for almost all of them. There isn’t really any gun/caliber that I NEED. I hunt mostly whitetail, but would like to hunt elk and moose someday. I also used to competitively shoot 1000 yard silhouettes. I’m out of that now that I have 3 kids…. But i still have a place I can go and plink out to 800 yards for fun, so another rifle with that capability would be cool.

When I won, they told me that the gun store has the rifle in 30-06, and that specific rifle is set aside for me, but I can choose the same rifle in any caliber they have whenever I go to pick it up. (Or store credit, but I want the x-bolt.) my issue here is I already own 2 rifles in 30-06, but they were my grandfathers. One is a model 6 that still has the original weaver foldaway scope, and the other was my great uncles that he build, and my grandpa got it when he passed, now it’s mine. So I don’t love hunting with them just because I would hate to drop/break either of them. So I’m not totally against a 3rd 06.

My first thought was 280ai because I’ve always wanted one, and I know browning chambers the xbolt to it. But nobody in my area has had one for a few months, and after a few phone calls nobody seems confident they will get one anytime soon. And the voucher is only good for 60 days. I considered the 6.8 western, but even hand loading supplies aren’t looking great. Does anyone have a recommendation? At this point I’m kinda just leaning toward the tried and true 30-06. My mind is just saying “you won this gun, might as well get something a little different.”

Not the exact one I had, but the make/model so I may buy another one. Had it in the late 90s, bought from a pawn shop for ~100$, sold it back a few years later, pawn shop is gone so I can't ask them for records.

Things I know to be true:

.243 Winchester calibre
Full Mannlicher stock, but not an original M1895 rifle
Iron Sights, no pict rail
Double set trigger
Bolt Action
The front sight had a little half-circle hood over it (kind of like Mosin Nagants, only more elegant)
The front wood part of the rifle, where it met the end of the barrel, had this very light downturned lip to the wood, a gentle swell that made it look very elegant
Everything looked factory stock on it, like it was all meant to be there

Things I suspect to be correct, but I cannot remember for certain:

It was not a CZ, but possibly a Ruger
The magazine was internal, like the Mosin Nagant and held 3-4 rounds.
The end of the bolt action handle was not a knurled knob, but rather an elegant goose-neck-like sway (for lack of a better word) to it.

I know that's not much to go on, and I'll do my best to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you for any help you can render

So about 7 years ago Witt Machine came out with the Muzzle Rise Eliminator and they got great reviews and were a hit at shit show. I liked what I saw and ordered a couple and they came in clean and very well made and damn they worked great! Fast forward 7 years to four weeks ago when I went back to them for a muzzle brake. Well shame on me, I didn’t even think twice about looking at the reviews! I should have because what I got was not worth a 4 week wait or $114.00 shipped! Shitty flashing on edges, crappy mill work and a ding on the face edge right out of the box! So I sent an e-mail and just like the recent reviews and reports about Witt Machine they don’t and won’t respond to e-mails and won’t answer the phone. You will get nothing!! Don’t make the same mistake I did and always read the reviews of places whether you’ve dealt with them in the past or not because this place apparently went to shit!

All,

I know most, if not all will recommend a bolt action for shooting out to 800m to 1000m range. However, I would like to consider 7mm semi auto rifles for the shooting range. I am most familiar with the following, what else should I consider here in the US?

SVD (Dragunov)

Springfield Armory M1A

AR 10

Thank you.

Relatively new to the hobby and trying my best to learn proper maintenance. I have a Tikka T3X with a stainless steel barrel chambered in 223. I would like to hear everyone’s opinions on cleaning procedures and products used.

Does anyone know if these are any good? I need a shooting rest to sight in my first hunting rifle but don’t want to spend $100+ on a sled, any help is appreciated!
