    Colorado Goat Tag Unit G12

    I took a big billy out of G12 two seasons ago and can give you some insight. You won't need camping permits to access the areas that are productive for goats, What is your local? You will want to hit some VO2 max specific training hard as you will spend most of your time upwards of 10K ASL...

    OP - What is your appraisal of the component recoil lug arrangement that MRC is using on the 2022 action? How is the assembly holding up through the current round count?

    Montana Rifle Co. Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    There are around 15-20 LX-1's that have been delivered and have seen extensive field use. The first run was spoken for before the first chip hit the floor. With all due respect to MRC and their current effort, I really wish them success in getting a better evolution of the 1999 action to...

    Trying to date 2 Winchester Model 70 Rifles

    I believe that’s a BACO serial number. That would be made from 2008 onward and unfortunately I don’t know of any resources for their manufacture dates.

    Trying to date 2 Winchester Model 70 Rifles

    What is the serial number range of the Super Grade? Does it have a “G” prefix? If it does have a G prefix it wasn’t made in ‘36. If it is indeed a pre-war model 70 it will have the cloverleaf tang, the original “backwards” 3 position safety(could have been replaced) will be drilled and...

    Winchester model 70 classic stainless stock options

    Reach out to D’Arcy Echols and talk to him about one of his Legend stocks. They’re made for him by McMillan and have all of the Edge options available. It’s the best stock going for a M70 in .375 H&H. Be advised though, he only supplies them as an unfinished inletted blank as he receives them...

    Looking for a gun safe for my hunting rifle!

    The BFX and BFII are the high water mark for gun safes. To exceed the burglary resistance and fire protection you need to move into TL class safes which are a quantum leap in those protection area's but present a new set of challenges concerning moving and placement of the safe.

    Gun safe in a basement okay?

    I have one in the basement, though we do have a walk-out which made some aspects of getting it in easier. A couple of thoughts around this: 1. Size & weight of your safe? Can your stairs handle the loading from the safe? 2. Find a a outfit that only moves safes and get their assessment if it's...

    Custom rifle tough to feed from internal magazine

    What is the origin of the magazine box and follower and spring? Did your gunsmith trim the box's height to get it to fit into that stock with that receiver? You most likely have a magazine box geometry problem where manufactures try to get away with a one size fits all approach. i.e. a...
