      Remington Recall

      It's my understanding that Remington has been aware of the safety issue for many years but refused to issue a recall because of the necessary expense. At the time they finally agreed that the "fix" should be applied, the cost was only about 50 cents (so I read ). But they refused to do the...

      Rifle choice advice

      I read that there is a voluntary recall on Model 700 rifles. Does anyone know that for sure? (also the model 7).

      Winchester 70 vs Browning X Bolt

      Sportsman11: I've owned a model 70 in 270cal since the late 90's and I also own a Browning in 25-06. I favor the Model 70. It's never failed except once due to neglect. I got caught in a rain/snow storm hunting in the Va. mountains. The problem occurred because I failed to remove all the...

      Brass shortage

      One other thing I discovered today at Gander Mtn about the 260...........the price tag for 20 loaded shells is about $39! I would assume you 260 folks "roll" your own shells at least I would. But I will admit....the cartridge is pretty impressive.

      Brass shortage

      Hey micky: I was going through a mixed bag of brass I found at a range yesterday and was sorting out the 308 shells. I came across what appeared to be a 308 but was surprised to see "260" on it's base. I remembered you telling me the 260 was derived from the 308 case. What struck me was how...

      Brass shortage

      Gator45/70: Is your handle derived from the type weapon you prefer? I've always wanted to own one of those, maybe in a replica Sharps. I don't think you could still eat a deer if you shot it in the front shoulder!#@. If you happen to find some of those 7mm-08 cases, drop me a line at...

      Brass shortage

      mickey: Guess that explains the reason for 308 cases being "not as available" as they used to be. I have 3 or 4 hundred Mil 308 brass cases but as you already know, they can't be loaded quite the same as Civilian cases. Happy shooting Bud.

      Brass shortage

      micky: How does your 260 compare with the 7mm-08? I've never shot one but it sounds like the 260 is based on the 30-06 case, such as the 270 was. If it is I can see why many shooters like it. I've been shooting my 30-06 ( I have 3 ) and loading for it for 30 years as well as my 25-06 . If that...

      Brass shortage

      Mr. Swamprat2: I'm not real sure where Denham Springs is located.....but it doesn't sound very close to Jacksonville Florida. Thanks for your reply though.

      Brass shortage

      Hey Mickey: I checked out the Cabelas site but it really is crazy to see the prices for "un-loaded" brass nearly as high as loaded ammo. I can't prove it but I feel our Govt. has something to do with the sudden shortage of reloading components. If they can't take our guns...the next best option...

      Brass shortage

      I'm having trouble finding 7mm-08 brass..........anyone know of an internet site that has this type brass? I'm aware that I can resize 308 ammo to 7mm-08 but I really would like to find the correct cases. (since I have 308 rifles and 7mm-08 rifles)
