    New to me rifle

    I bought this Ruger Hawkeye RSI .308 off the classifieds on another forum. It's a sweet little rig. I mounted a Leupold Big Bore 3x with a heavy duplex. I bought a Montana sling for it. My load is a 150gr Sierra RN, 46gr of Varget, and a WLR primer in Hornady brass. I installed Leupold Alumina...

    What kind of rifles and bayonets are these?

    I have no idea whether traditionally the bolts are removed or not. I couldn't see if there were bolts in the rifles or not but I do not see a bolt handle.

    Round nose bullets

    I wish the 154gr RN bullets were still available. I have a Mannlicher MC 7x57 carbine and it is picky. It does shoot 140gr Rem CL bullets well.

    Round nose bullets

    I loaded some Sierra 150gr .308 RN bullets for the Ruger Hawkeye RSI I bought last month. They are accurate in my rifle. I wish I had bought Hornady .308 165gr RN bullets when they were still made. My hunting shots are almost always under 100 yards. Anyone else like RN bullets?

    Alcohol

    Cudos for turning away before you are controlled. I approached it several years ago and throttled back. I still like it, just don't really want it.

    7mm-08

    Partitions are never a bad choice.

    New reloading bench

    I suggest placing something under it to protect the carpet from spilled powder, carbon fouling, and spent primers.

    Rifle Brand for 7mm Rem Mag

    A Winchester M70 supergrade are nice rifles. Older SAKOs are very nice.

    What kind of rifles and bayonets are these?

    They look like M 1903 Springfield rifles without a bolt to me.

    Thanks. The RSI is new to me. I bought it off 24 hour campfire classifieds. It had a trigger job done when I bought it. It's just a bit more than a 3# pull weight.

    Sell me on some rings

    I have used Talley LW and DNZ mounts but not on a Tikka. I like the DNZ over the Talley mounts. My analogy of them is both are ugly, one skinny and one chunky. Pick one. It's difficult to screw up DNZ mounts. No lapping, no fuss.

    Binos vs. Riflescope

    I don't own any Alpha glass. That said, I use a B&L Discoverer 7x42 binocular and Leupold scopes. I like fixed 4x scopes but own some variables. I set the variables at 4x hunting. I want at least 7x for glassing and 4x is plenty for my hunting rifles. When I was younger my eyes could make up for...

    Hornady Interlock Bullets?

    I load Hornady 165gr flat base bullets in my 30-06 and get great results accuracy and terminal ballistics results. I only deer hunt with them so how they'd work on elk I can't say. I have never recovered one.

    Protecting your firearm in the field

    I coat my firearms with Eezox. I first used it on my Ruger LCP I carried year around in a pocket holster and I have never had a rust problem.
