Re: Thoughts on Downloading 7mm Rem Mag

My only thought on the matter is why carry around the extra weight of a 7mm Mag rifle, when a lighter rifle will do? A sporterized 93 Mauser might be in your future :idea: (Oh, for the days when you could buy them mail order, delivered to your door, for about 20 bucks apiece :mrgreen: ) I appreciat...

Thoughts on Downloading 7mm Rem Mag

I took me a couple of decades to figure out, but I've come to the idea of downloading my 7mmRM to 7 Mauser levels. I mostly pistol hunt these days, but when I do use a rifle, it's nothing that a 7 Mauser won't finalize. When I shoot my 4" 629, its loaded with a 44 Special load, unless I'm tunin...

Stem Attachment

The antler pipe I purchased some 3 plus decades ago used a 1/4" dowel rod about a half inch long to attach the stem to the bowl. The dowel was drilled through and when the wood got punky, its easy enough to cut and drill a new piece. - Brian
