    Anybody using meostar 2-12x50 bdc scope

    Anybody have the meostar 2-12x50 bdc ret. illuminated rifle scope? The reason I ask is I have it's big brother 2.5-15x56 bdc illuminated rifle scope for about 5 months now. The low light performance is outstanding and optics are crisp with great sunny day light reflections well managed. These...

    good barrel for Browning 3006 A-Bolt 2 stainless

    I haven't seen any gas marks or cuts on the bolt face. It looks like the previous owner was working up low pressure probably sub sonic loads when this happened. I looked at custom tubes but I am over budget for the elk hunt plus this is a basic hunting rifle get it muddy, leave out in the rain...

    good barrel for Browning 3006 A-Bolt 2 stainless

    I am already over budget, most of the custom barrels were in the upper 300$ range plus more expense in gun smithing, all my previous A bolts were 1" shooters, this barrel is threaded and $199, I know a custom barrel would be better but this is a 500yd or less hunting rig. Last but not least it...

    good barrel for Browning 3006 A-Bolt 2 stainless

    New question, now that the cause of the issues I was having with the barrels extensive copper fouling was due to the barrel being over pressured via squib load obstructing barrel then another load fired thus expanding that area of the barrel, should the bolt head be replaced or is it so much...

    Realistic expectation with one of these?

    I have a different muzzleloader an inline knight revolution discontinued, I shoot a barnes 290 tipped on top of 120gr tripple seven about 1850fps thru chony, could load hotter, 150gr probably 2000fps but will really kick, but it is a good accurate load. As for 200yd open sight maybe if you...

    good barrel for Browning 3006 A-Bolt 2 stainless

    Picked up a oem Browning barrel yesterday 2hr drive each way, after discussing the problem with them it looks like the previous owner might have had a squib load and shot another round following it. The barrel had a slightly larger ID diameter about 6" from the breach to about 5" before the...

    good barrel for Browning 3006 A-Bolt 2 stainless

    Gunsmith was able to get the barrel off with no problems. I located a factory barrel, it is for a A Bolt2 3006 white gold medallion I am 95% sure that 22"stainless barrel is the same one as the A Bolt 2 stainless stalker model used?

    good barrel for Browning 3006 A-Bolt 2 stainless

    Yes I hope it does too, will have to post the results. Checking for replacement barrels it would be nice to upgrade over factory but wait times may not allow, upcoming elk hunt this fall and I will need time to develop a load using 180gr accubonds.

    good barrel for Browning 3006 A-Bolt 2 stainless

    I contacted a gun smith dropped it off on the way to work. I shared what Wrench said about a relief cut, now I hope he can remove the barrel, once that is done I will get a replacement for it.

    good barrel for Browning 3006 A-Bolt 2 stainless

    That is a really nice rig, I am going to either have to try a re-barrel option or a descent factory rifle to keep cost down.

    good barrel for Browning 3006 A-Bolt 2 stainless

    Thanks for the replies, I really don't want to have to buy a new rifle, getting a replacement barrel job done is bad enough, already over budget for my elk hunt. Tikka is an option relatively cheap, Bighorn Origin really nice but once all components are put together out of my price range. Can't...

    good barrel for Browning 3006 A-Bolt 2 stainless

    Thanks for the reply, yes stainless will gauld, I used to have to losen a stainless bolt a little at a time even then 70% success rate. Either a new barrel or rifle I am hoping to get a quality custom barrel as the action is fine.

    Thermal Rifle Setup

    Go to nightvision universe, I got 200$ off on a bering optics hogster 35mm, they have a sale on the newer version 35mm hogster vibe 2595 I think, bought the older version about 2 years ago. If you are a 1st responder discounts offered. Don't be afraid to make offer that is how I got a discount.

    Scope for .308

    I went through the same process, 4.5x was to much power at low end, field of view to narrow for guick shots in timber. So I opted for 2.5x for the low end as for max. mag 10- 12x is plenty unless you plan to shoot over 550yds.
