I’ve had Gunworks do this for me on a 7.62x39. Was in part forced on me when Baikal’s normally good (?) quality control let a rifle out of the factory with a grossly off-centre chamber. Gunworks...

I bought my Model 94 in 1986 and put a scope on it in about July last year (VX Hog 1-4x20). Yeah it's ugly, but my close-up eyesight ain't what it used to be!

Standard twist for the 7.62x39 is 1:9.5" .303 1:10" no real difference re-chambering the Baikal is the only to get a new .303 with out costing a pile of cash

I have a "Light" made in Japan, works good enough for a .22 and the open sights can still be used. 180760

A bit late to this thread. I love my cheap little Vixen clone, a Zastava mini Mauserish action with a 1:12 twist. It's fairly accurate and small things fall over to it on a regular basis. I nailed a...

On deer, yes to the 64 grain Nosler solid base bonded - I have 150 and then they are finished. They went out of production last year. 55 Barnes were good but haven't used them for a couple of...

Mostly, its the tradition. The meat hunting days and nostalgia for me. With the 77-80 grn bullets at circa 2.9K in the .223 you are close to 243 performance with half the powder and less noise and...

Bruce uses gucci barnes and noslers. they're up there in price. back when powder was well priced then using a pretty standard projectile a 243 wouldn't be too bad to reload for.

I was using a 223 on goats out to 300 yards last week with standard fiocchi 55gn soft points, it was certainly effective and much cheaper to feed than a 243 or 6mm cm My 2 cents
