Rifles

New Rifle Project: 7mm STW on Remington 700 Action, Part 2

Not only did no one try to talk me out of this idea, but several 7mm STW owners egged me on. And I've been moving fairly quickly. Read More ....

New Rifle Project: 7mm STW on Remington 700 Action, Part 3

My efforts at putting together a lightweight rifle have not panned out. But it looks good and shoots well — not all bad. Read More ....

6mm Remington on a Mauser 98 Action

New Rifle Project: 6mm Remington on a Mauser 98 Action

I've had the good fortune to own a couple custom rifles, but those were built under the supervision of a full-time professional rifle maker. I've recently started cobbling together another rifle, but this time in a little less orderly fashion. Read More ....

New Rifle Project: 6mm Remington on a Mauser 98 Action (Part 2)

One of my open projects involves converting an old sporterized Mauser to a new life as a 6mm Remington. This past weekend, while the kids were napping, I finally surged ahead and put the gun together. Read More ....

New Rifle Project: 6mm Remington on a Mauser 98 Action (Part 3)

With the new barrel, stock, and scope installed, my Mauser 98 in 6mm Remington was ready for a trip to the range for barrel break-in and sight-in. I got the scope dialed in and was on paper pretty quickly, but the results weren't pretty. Read More ....

New Rifle Project: 6mm Remington on a Mauser 98 Action (Part 4)

After initial disappointing accuracy results with my Mauser 98 in 6mm Remington, I called up Larry at Superior Ammunition and asked him to load me up a sample pack with Hornady GMX 80-grain bullets and Barnes 85-grain TSXs. The sample pack arrived and I headed back to the range to see if I could pull this one back from the brink. Read More ....

Knight KP1 Muzzleloader

Pulling the Trigger on a New Muzzleloader, Part 1

My home state of Colorado is fairly restrictive when it comes to special muzzleloader seasons, but there are some tempting opportunities available in nearby states that I'm interested in taking better advantage of. I just pulled the trigger on the purchase of a new muzzleloader and am getting ready to set it up and hoping to head to Nebrasaka, Kansas, or wherever else I can draw a tag. Read More ....

Pulling the Trigger on a New Muzzleloader, Part 2

My Knight KP1 has arrived. It's heavy — much closer in weight to field artillery than to the mountain rifles I prefer — but really a very nice gun. I mounted my Talley rings and Leupold Ultimate Slam scope the night after I got the rifle, and I like the way it's coming together. Read More ....
