I e owned two Rugers in 204 , bought both used . The first was a 77VT with the grey stainless and laminated bench style stock HB of course . That thing literally would drive tacks 1/4 MOA for five shots got boring . Going for 1/10 MOA was far more intresting . The one big drawback was...

I’ve had more than a couple Sako’s over the years and I was more than pleased with them as hunting rifles , however maybe ten years ago I bought a used Sako HB single shot in 6mm PPC and with the factory trigger at its least it was still a good bit heavier than I want for a bench rifle paper...

Nope that one’s got the curved bolt handle the same as the other five MC/MCA guns I have . I have however seen a few MC/MCA guns in the rifle (24” half stock) configuration chambered for magnum cartridges that had a straight up and down bolt handle . Had thoughts of acquiring one in 264 Win Mag...

I’m not sure what you’re making reference to but the bolt handles on the six MC/MCA rifles I have are the same as the one you have pictured all six were made in the 50’s or 60’s . I did however have earlier models in 8x56MS and 6.5x54MS that had straight bolt handles all the earlier ones like...

I’ve owned more than a few 22’s that were tack drivers however I rarely shot them further than 50 yards . The first that comes to mind was a Remington 541-S it would shoot aspirin sized five shot groups at 25 yards all day long and almost as good at 50 yards . I had a Winchester Model 61 pump...

I’ve owned 8 of the rifles all the MC or MCA were curved back . If I’m not mistaken the Model 1905 and Model 1908 I had were both uncurved bolt handles . As to European differences I cannot say I’m in the USA .

I’ve had a number of “hunting handguns” over the years . For me the best was a Remington XP100R in 260 REM with a Burris 4-12 pistol scope on top . Also had three of the Savage Stryker bolt action pistols in 260 REM , 7-08 and 300 WSM . I never got into the 300 WSM to be honest . Had Ruger Super...

I’ve owned all except the AI several times over . All killed well for me . I am an O’Connor fan for almost sixty years so of course I like the 270 just fine . I however acquired a LNIB Kimber 89 BGR Super Grade in the early 90’s that was chambered in 280 REM and I liked it a skoosh more . I’ve...

I’ve owned two of them that come to mind . The first was a Kimber 89BGR Super American purchased brand new that had a beautifully figured piece of walnut shadow line cheek piece ebony forend tip and the action was dovetailed for Kimber rings . Killed I think three deer with it using the Nosler...

Of all the guns that have been in my possession I’ve never owned a Garand in any configuration . We’ve had a couple C’s and D’s at the shop for sale but always the price was above my comfort zone .

I’ve run the gamut of 25 cals ! 25-20 , 25-35 , 25-36 Marlin , 250-3000 , 257 Bob , 25 WSSM , 25-06 and 257 Weatherby . Shot a couple squirrels using home cast bullet handloads in the 25-20 . Had a single shot German made break action in 25-35 that I had setup for deer but never had an...

I’ve done pretty much the complete spectrum of muzzle loading stuff . Originals , Contemporary Longrifles , Thompson Center sidelocks and a pile of inlines made by TC , Knight , Savage and Remington . Only I have left is a Remington 700 Ultimate ML 50 cal that I’ve been using for over five years...

I had a Remington 700 Classic in 35 Whelen for awhile and killed several deer with it using 200 grain bullets no problem as you would assume . As to a 9.3x62 I’d wanted one for awhile and was seriously in the market for a CZ 550-FS . But like several other things I waited to long and they ceased...

I’ve wanted a Mauser 66 in most any configuration ever since I first saw one in 1973 ! I was 12 and had just bought a new 700 BDL 243 and a friend had a 66 in 243 LNIB he wanted to sell , I’d used up my meager savings on the 700 and he didn’t wanna trade so I didn’t get it . Since then I’ve seen...

I had a 6.5 PRC I bought used it was one of those Savage package deals . It came with a box of ammo and a box of once fired brass . I massaged the trigger a bit made sure the barrel was free floated got a set of Redding dies and loaded up some stuff . Oh I almost forgot I took the package scope...
