    Sako 85 rear sight screw replacement

    Spoke to Beretta CS....they can't even pull an individual part number for that (I gave them the one above). They can sell me the whole assembly for like $180. They have no way of contacting Sako directly. That all seems pretty crappy. Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    Sako 85 rear sight screw replacement

    Maybe? The description is correct. I have a ticket out with Beretta, but don't really expect anything from them. Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    Sako 85 rear sight screw replacement

    I know this is niche, but I don't see any gunsmithing sub forum here. I discovered the rear sight base on my Sako 85 Black Bear has broken off. The single mounting screw sheared. How that happened, I have no idea. Does anyone happen to know its specs so that I can find a suitable replacement...

    Winchester SXR2

    Lots of good information you've managed to dig up. The magazines are a solid find as well. 10 RDS of 3006 would be pretty great, not as great as 9.3, but still. You going to get one? I'd definitely be interested in a report. Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    Why not more DIY “big eyes”?

    I didn't read all of the posts, so apologize if it's been discussed, but don't most of the diy big eyes have a fixed ipd? That seems like it'd make it difficult for others to look though compared to a normal spotter on a hunt. Perhaps others could just look through one half like a traditional...

    Scope rings for Ruger Hawkeye

    Maybe too late, but my Hawkeyes all have Alaska Arms Rings. They work as advertised and hold zero with repeated removals, in my experience. https://alaskaarmsllc.com/collections/ruger-scope-rings/ Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    Winchester SXR2

    No, they're still available to order, but never seen one in person. I don't want to be the test case, but I'm definitely still interested. There's a few more chamberings, 308, 30-06, 300win mag, as well as wood stock models. Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    Suppressed .338 WM

    I went down that road a while ago with a Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan in 338wm. I had an older Griffin Precision Hunter 338 can that I put on it. The whole lot came out to something like 12lbs and made the setup pretty unwieldy, and it was still pretty loud. Maybe a lightweight rifle and a moderns...

    Winchester SXR2

    Sorry, there's dozens of that model on GB and my local shop can get ahold of them. Wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    Winchester SXR2

    I'm starting to see these pop up, and in the best cartridge ever, 9.3x62. Looks like a less expensive BAR, and until now only available internationally, maybe? Tempting, but I've never even heard of this. Anyone know anything...

    New M77 Hawkeye Hunter FTW?

    Can't comment on that specific model, but my 3 Hawkeyes are dead nuts accurate. Actions are a little rough from when new, but break in just fine. I'm considering the FTW in 7prc myself. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Is Ruger still making the No 1?

    Yeah, that what I mean. Those models have been listed for a long time, and I've still never seen a new one around. Used are all over, at various price points, and I have a couple that I bought used. Shame that the line's been all but ended. Same with the Win 1885. The Highwall models have all...

    Is Ruger still making the No 1?

    Ruger has had the same 3 or 4 models of No 1 on their website for quite some time, and new ones are never on GB or anywhere else. Are they still making it? If they are, I assume they have a single production run each year, does anyone happen to know when that usually happens? Thanks Sent from...

    338 WM barrel length

    I've never chronod it before, but I agree, that does seem around 150fps slower than I would have expected. As far as 338 federal, I think to get similar velocity you'd have to use lighter bullets, but I'm not sure. Certainly someone else can better answer that. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    338 WM barrel length

    I never did with the suppressor on, it was just to cumbersome to take seriously. Put the factory brake back on and chrono'd a few rounds today on a Garmin. I don't reload, so I can't tell you what exactly I'm shooting beyond Hendershot loaded 236gr Hammers. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Huge discount on Steyr in .223

    Looks like the .243 model is the same price. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Huge discount on Steyr in .223

    Wow, that is a heck of a discount. It's the previous gen, if that matters. The III is out now. From all accounts, the Steyrs really shoot well. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Ruger barrels - improved since the past?

    They're definitely a little more rough than my Sako 85, for example, but I've never had a feed issue. Their CHF barrels shoot. ETA: 5 rounds of 236 gr Hammers in 338win mag @ 100yds. Hawkeye Alaskan. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Ruger barrels - improved since the past?

    I have several Ruger rifles. 3 newer Hawkeye models all shoot lights-out, couldn't be happier. I have a couple older No. 1s that don't group nearly as well, but I don't handload. I wouldn't hesitate to get a Hawkeye. No experience with the Americsn line. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk
