^^^ Yessir. As you say, pay particular attention to your hardener ratio- the more catalyst, the more gloss- and also greater durability. I used to go minimal ratio for those wanting a very flat, no gloss appearance- but I found that I could scratch the coating much easier than I was willing to...

Well, good luck. I never did high volume- but I stopped buying anything but tester sizes with the exception of a few of the "go to" colors like Graphite Black. Some (like the black) seem to have a longer shelf life, but I've had others that were clogging up the strainer (metallics) at less than...

Thanks for the info- seriously. It's apparent (to me, anyway) that the quality of the prefits has improved dramatically. I'd always felt that the chambering process was lacking precision with prefits- but seems that at least among the top dogs, they've got it dialed in. I'm curious if all...

I don't see anything "old school" about it, this is what gunsmiths do... I think it depends on the use of the rifle and the accuracy requirements of the shooter. I could be wrong, but I don't think you'll see many (if any) top 20 rifles in benchrest using chambered prefits, and I suspect same...

Tikka barrels are a MF to remove as mentioned. Are you planning on re-installing on another rifle? If not, save yourself a bunch of aggravation and put a pipe wrench on it. Guaranteed not to slip...:) I have not installed enough Tikka barrels to comment on consistency of boltface to receiver...

OK. I'll bite. I'd love to hear your reasoning/logic :rolleyes:

They know the gun shop where it was sent- less than 10 miles away. Owner told me several employees that left Shooters World work for him. And FYI, it takes five minutes to log a rifle in and out of a bound book- probably less with the electronic recordkeeping they use. But hey, if you think...

Exactly. They were- the manager was still a dickhead- but a polite dickhead. Pulling out the 4473 and pointing to the identification line as though that had anything to do with it. Just fucking fess up and say these are our requirements, like it or not, and yes- they're not required by BATFE or...

Touche... Read this one to him just now and he just grinned and shook his head...😁

Appreciate the replies, gentlemen. The FL waiting period is from date of PURCHASE. Shipping time was way more than 3 days anyway- but I had told my son to bring his online receipt just in case.

Been on these forums for many years...first time ragging in the Bear Pit- but I'm pissed, and I know there's a lot of current and former US military that might care about who to support with their business- or not. My son's a USAF pilot currently stationed in the midwest, just came home to...

Boyd's most certainly does have them- including doing the Timney inlet. I honestly never cared much for the aesthetics of the ProMag stock, but if you want a DBM it's the only way to get one. Usually the fitment is suitable, but sometimes there needs to be some dremel work on the polymer to get...

^^ This. Never heard of POF ammunition- what are you using for MV and bullet BC? Hornady's match ammo with a 155 EDM is WELL subsonic at 1300 yards at 970 FPS and 17.63 mils. You're likely subsonic somewhere around 1000 yards and it's dropping like a rock for the last 200-300. If you've got...

Another vote for the .300 WSM, well suited for your dual-purpose application.

I put one on my .300 WSM (LR target) a few years ago- I've had zero issues with it and remain a fan.
