To Flute or not to Flute (16 posts)

I've been looking into the whole fluted barrel thing and figured I'd ask the experts to weigh in on the topic.  I've read about lighter weight and stiffer barrels and faster cooling etc and those arguments.  It seems the benefits are all gauged in relation to barrels of the same diameter or the same weight.  I get all ...

There is a big diff. in weight if you ask me. I have two #4 barrled Mark V bee's one fluted 26 inch and one (non) fluted 22 in.. They are the same weight with same actions and stocks.

    Reload suggestions for Vanguard Syn SS, 24" bbl, 7mm Rem Mag (4 posts)

    I've been attempting to come up with a decent accurate load that groups well at 100 yds (around 1").  I have tried numerous bullet weights, powders, etc and have not yet seen anything better than about 2" groups.

    Does anyone have any recipes that has worked well for them on a Vanguard Synthetic Stainless Steel 24"...

      My groups are mostly off in a vertical direction.  The left to right is usually not that bad at 100 yards (although it's opposite at 200 yds...vertical is great, but horizontal is wider...but that was only done with one set of reloads).  I've had several groups where the 1st and 3rd shot are almost touching and the 2nd shot is w...

        mark5 firing pin adjust (1 posts)

        Hi all,
         after a recent nasty quadback hunt, i unscrewed the firing pin from its unit, cleaned it all up, screwed it all back together to what i thought was the same twist count. (i dont have any left over parts like when i rebuilt my first carberator!!), but now its really unhappy when asked to close.
        is it just trial and error or i...

          canadian laws are truly pointless.
          and have cost a mazillion dollars, so its all good.
          I do not support them, but having said that, they are really quite simple to understand, transfers between owners is quite easy.
          the only good things of the top is manditory firearms education courses for safe handling and storage points, some leg...

            CH Reloading Dies (6 posts)

            I have been reloading 270 winchester for about 17 years now. Up until this last winter I lived close enough to either my father or grandfather that i did my reloading at either ones house. Now that i can no longer do that I have gotten set up to reload at my house. A couple of months ago I purchased a set of CH brand 270 dies used from someone on t...

            It's funny you mention this. I also bought a used set of CH dies in .300H&H, and experienced the exact same issue. I have been reloading for over 25yrs and never had this happen before. Last CH dies for me also!

              Vanguard Sub Moa .204 Ruger Report (4 posts)

              I bought one of these 3-4 months ago as a varmint gun. For me, it is a long range rifle because of the thick growth here in Maine. My plan was to sight it in at 100m (which I did) and then use it to blast coyotes when I can find them in open. My plan backfired.

              So far I haven't shot one coyote with it but use it on the range weekly....
