I haven't used Dave Manson (though I have some of his reamers via Brownells) I had a pretty bad experience with PTG when I ordered a 17 fireball reamer and was sent a 17HMR. It took a long time to...

I'm not sure that's entirely true. I have seen reflex moderators constructed from stainless steel. I agree they have no user serviceable parts inside and erosion is still a potential problem, but...

George I wouldn't say that Win 10 is much easier. It depends on where you are coming from. Win 7 was ok in my view. Win 8 was horrible. Trying to turn a pc into a mobile phone is just potty. Win 10...

Those wolves are bloody huge. I had no idea they got that size. They are going to have to start issuing hunting permits to keep a lid on the numbers. Otherwise I suspect ranchers will have to do the...

My Pac-Nor 1:10 barrel is marginal with the 25gr Vmax. The 20gr are excellent as are 25gr hollowpoints and 30gr Bergers, but this is a 17 Rem. With the lower velocity of the fireball I would prefer a...

If it were me I would go with 1:11 I have a Sako 75 in .223 with a 1:8 twist that shoots 40gr bullets just fine, so I am unconvinced by the spinning them too quickly argument. Most likely the 1:12...

I believe Corlane Sports in BC had an import licence lodged with Pac-Nor, though they would doubtless want their cut if they did the importation on your behalf.
