Old Iron
The ability to top off the magazine without opening the action was one of the deciding factors for its adoption, and downfall. The Mauser was shown to be superior with its ability to load from stripper clips during the Spanish-American War. I appreciate any brass you're willing to part with... -
Old Iron
I've got a soft spot for older rifle designs. I like the new stuff too, but it can be pretty "cookie cutter" today. One of the actions pretty high up on my "intrigued by" list is the Krag-Jorgensen. A wonderfully odd design that's just about as smooth as you can get. It's far from perfect but... -
Spartan Fail. Now Which Bipod and How to Mount It?
The gunsmith socket is the way to go. A lot of guys install it close to the balance point of the rifle but you lose a lot of stability doing that. If you can, halfway down the forend or near the sling stud work well. -
Cool single shot
Thank you. I have to put that on all my posts or IG and FB flag them. Most get overturned but it's a huge inconvenience. This was for a client, they supplied the donor for the work. It's not cheap to do but the end product is neat. CVA and Henry both make single shots that would be great... -
Cool single shot
This was a fun build. It started out as a H&R Handi Rifle in .444 Marlin. It had headspacing issues so it made a good candidate for a redux. I started out by cutting the barrel tenon, then I cut the factory barrel in front of the locking block, bored and threaded the barrel stub for its new... -
Ultrasonic cleaner solvent?
4:1 water and Simple Green for everything but aluminum. I use Simple Green Extreme for AL. -

1/2-28 will handle a lot more than a lot of people think. I wouldn't put them on anything over 30 cal for a high pressure rifle round. That's more for more bore swelling than anything though. Another option, you can do 5/8-24 with a permanent collar. It requires a barrel diameter of at least... -

Wolves in Nevada???
There have been confirmed sightings in the state since 2016, and unconfirmed sightings earlier than that. Mostly Washoe and Elko counties. I'm sure there have been a few that followed the 3S rule, and nobody ever heard about it.- p_ham

30-30 powder suggestions
Unless you want a different bullet, I'd say just buy a bunch of that factory stuff. Doing that stuff I mentioned earlier could help it "like" a wider range of loadings still.- p_ham

30-30 powder suggestions
Honestly, I wouldn't expect better than 1.25-1.5 MOA out of that rifle. It looks like your numbers are settling down with the LVR, I think you're on the right track bumping up the charge weight a little if you have room. Some things you can do to help out your accuracy and consistency on lever...- p_ham

Rebarrel Opinions
It'll work fine. You can add a block to the rear of the magazine if your loaded rounds are too short and try to nosedive. The 6.5 PRC does benefit from a bit of extra length.
