heck, I recently bought a can of Unique that was so old that I was able to sell the empty can to a collector for $25. The powder was fine and I used every bit of it. I have primers that are probably older than most folks on this forum. They all still go 'boom' and I can take out a woodchuck at 300 y...

They just posted all of our names in a NY newspaper; actually they did it a couple of years ago as well. I understand that a lawyer, in return, posted the names and addresses of the newspaper publisher and all the people involved in the writing of that article, on FACEBOOK. I don't have an account s...

I haven't yet gotten absolutely consistent 1/2" groups but I think I'm getting there. She seems to be settling into the new bedding and, this past week I shot two groups and stayed at 1/2". I also noticed that my 'sand-bag' technique is not helping; I should invest in an expensive rest. I ...

Well, I did it..........Seems to have worked out quite well despite my first attempt with a rifle with an aluminum bedding block and side-rails (where the receiver lays). I guessed that it would take almost all of the Brownell's resin and hardener in their 2 oz (?) jars; I was right; I used about 80...

Thanks for the good thoughts everyone. We're about 40 miles north of NYC and have somehow, not only survived without any damage, but got our power and cable back Tuesday night (which is unheard of). The area here in Northern Westchester is heavily wind damaged (many, many huge trees are down; mostly...

Many THANKS RIO........ I had given that idea passing thought but had no idea if it was feasible.......I'm gonna do it !!! p.s. I use the same Brownels Acra Glas and the gel specifically when that arrived on the market....it's great and easy to use. THANKS AGAIN, John N.

I've got a Savage (.204) 10/110 Predator Hunter Max1 with the fancy 'block bedding'; but it only shoots one load into +/- 3/4". Am thinking about getting another standard-bedding stock and then glass bedding it myself (I've done several glass bedding jobs on my 'wood' guns) just to see if I can...

Just happen to be wandering by again and saw your post Boomer. I have different projectiels that shoot to the right of center and others that shoot on the center line (in my 204 Savage Predator Max). I simply adjust my scope for the bullets that shoot the best group at 100yds...... They stay on the ...

So it seems that when the gun grab went into place, EVERY long-gun and pistol had to be licensed (and fees paid) or, given to the authorities to be destoyed (?) And now, you have to register every new long-gun and hand gun and undoubtedly endure many denials from the authorities. The reason for my p...

Thanks bazz, this gives us a bit of reality to the Australia gun grab in relation to what is depicted on the Net. We are heading pretty much in the same direction (again depending upon which state you live in). If things get much worse in NY state (which is a LOT bigger than NYC alone), I'm preparin...

Aussie guys......forgive the intrusion, but a US guy has a question for you all. We constantly hear that the Australia govn't has taken "all the guns" from the citizenry of your country. We see video of a horendous "gun grab' by the authorities over the past several years, and hear co...

Forgot to mention that my 'owners manual' specifically states 40 in/lbs for both screws....Hope this helps.

I have the exact same rifle (Savage Predator Max 1) and my (1/2")groups opened up recently. I had been using Sweets exclusively in it. I also have a stripped screw behind the trigger guard, but it doesn't hold anything but the trigger guard (so no use obsessing over it). I decided to scrub the ...

I've got a Savage heavy bbl Predator Max 1 and have been trying different loads for months in an attempt to get 3/4 inch or better. I've learned that this inherently accurate rifle likes ONLY one powder BLC-2 and ONLY bullets in the 32-35 gr. weight. I'm finally getting close to 1/2" with 35gr ...
