Agree on 2, 3, and 4. 1 & 5 are negotiable.

Are you against cast because you doubt their strength, because they can come out crooked, or just because? Testing has proved them stronger than ones machined from at least some types of bar stock. Certainly they’re strong enough. I still prefer forged, like 98s and Howas, current Weatherbys too, I’ve read.


What fresh Hell is this?
