    CVA Apex/Belm

    FYI...here is Mike Belms latest news letter and it's about the Apex. Granted, Mike is primarily a center fire guy but there is some good info here for those interested in this gun. I will post the ML portion when he sends it out. This ole TC tech of 30 years with Illinois Yankee pig farmer...

    Conical lube

    Conical shooters. Maybe a dumb question but I have not shot conicals. Want to try some in my Lyman Deerstalker (usually shoot PRB). My BIL gave me about a dozen TC Maxi-Hunters. 350gr that are lubricated with Natural Lube 1000+. The lube is all dried out so I cleaned them up. I'm getting...

    Bergara Barrel info

    The following is from Mike Belm's news letter if your interested. Take it for what it's worth. Last night curiosity got the best of me and I uncovered the Rockwell hardness tester to check out the hardness of the Bergara Encore barrels. "Cheap, Soft Spanish guns" has traditionally sometimes...

    Maiden Voyage for new Accura

    Got out today to shoot the new 45 cal. Mounted a 2.5-10x40 Bushnell Elite 4200 using Durasight mounts. After getting her on paper I shot these two 5 shot groups with two different bullets & charges. This was at 50 yds only. Then it started to snow heavy and they closed the range. The 180gr XTPs...

    Mounts for CVA Accura

    Any suggestions for a 1 piece base & rings for this gun? I see CVA recommends the DuraSight. I have no experience with this rig. Thanks...

    CVA Accura

    Can anyone provide any real use info on this gun? I was thinking about getting one for my daughter (I swear I wouldn't shoot it :wink: ). Would it be good with BH209?

    Hello from NY

    Brand new to this site. Picked it up from the boys over at HuntingNet.com. See a lot of familiar names. I've been on HN for a while but just started getting into the ML forum recently. It's sick (good). Very popular. Lots of great info. Looks as though I'll be on this forum a lot also...
