Changing rifles because of excess recoil.
Went from a 7mm Rem Mag to a 30-06 and 9.3x62. I've found the noise/speed of my mag recoil bothered me more than the actual ft lbs of recoil. In the process of going down to a 7x57 and my 9.3. The 06 is still here, but probably wont be the first rifle I grab anymore. -
Kimber Montana vs Husqvarna
I think the decision is all yours to make, and there is probably not a wrong one. I have 1 1640 husky and a couple older 98 action ones. They are really nice rifles that were well made from quality steel. That said, they are 50-60 year old rifles. Their condition varies greatly depending on the... -
Rattlesnakes
20 years of work in forestry/biology has pretty much taught me the vast majority of those bitten were attempting to catch the snake or inadvertently grabbed or stepped on it. Never personally been bitten, but I've known several that have been. Plain leather hunting boots have stopped every bite...- Foxtrot1

Redneck Mini Camper?
Hi guys, I have an old m101a2 military trailer that I have been using as a cargo trailer for extended camping trips (1st photo, tan trailer). Some time ago I loaned it to my nephew and while he had it, the bearings went out on 1 side, the wheel almost fell off, and the brake system is shot. So...- Foxtrot1

Mauser problem???
I just received an email from Zastava customer service. The bolt is repaired. Their smith did find the cocking piece was contacting the sear early, causing the bolt to be hard to close. That was on their test rifle. It's repaired and on it's way back to me, finger's crossed that's it. Their... -
Pretty Swede
I think the Huskies are great quality rifles for the $$$. I've got a 146 9.3x57 and a custom 7x57 that I built on a 640s action. They are some of my favorite rifles in the safe -
Bear Vomit
Sounds pretty nasty. I'm usually pretty weak stomached when it comes to vomit smell and would have had a hard time with that on my back. Saw one shot in E North Carolina that weighed 600 lbs. The hunter was so happy until he grabbed him to roll him over and grease squeezed out of its fur all...- Foxtrot1

Mauser problem???
You are correct Interarms was an importer. Zastava was the manufacturer for the actions and most barrels. My mark x has their logo on the reciever. Whitworth finished the metal and stocked them on the models marked as such, but zastava produced actions. I have heard zastava acquired FNs... -

Pretty Swede
Pretty tickled with my recent find. This is one of the better looking husqvarna rifles I've seen. 30-06, 24" barrel, all in a nice trim package that points like a shotgun. As far as i know it's a 1640 series (no idea on which model), made in 1953-54. It has the steel bottom metal. Weighs 7lbs, 2... -

Mauser problem???
Broke down and talked to Zastava USA's customer service. I did not expect this to be a warranty due to the rifles age. After some back and forth emails and sending a video of the rifle action closing their smith determined it was a timing issue with the bolt. Asked me to mail the bolt in to them...
