    Hunting Rifle: 7mm Rem Mag or 7mm SAUM?

    SAUM Enough to do the job and dead easy to load for and shoot well. The bigger boomers deliver more energy but exploit every flaw in your marksmanship skills. This is reminiscent of the 30-06 versus .308 debates. Spoiler alert: .308 won.

    Which short action magnum?

    ^^This^^ i also looked into longer throats and found optimized loads needed more powder to offset the greater case capacity so I’m back to standard COAL. I’m running Hammer bullets.

    I was looking for someone else who used to do barrels for Blaser rifles and found this: https://jsipandsons.com/ They do barrels for the Tac 2.

    Update #2..I think my can is messed up…Weird day at range

    A loose suppressor or the suppressor cover sliding forward will do that for me.

    Different types of bottom metals.

    Agree with the above except you should ask if they inlet the stock for the Remington BDL or the M5. Hawkins makes both.

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Can you or anyone else confirm this? This is from the ARC website on compatibility: Long actions are intended for use with AICS magazines, up to CIP/3.850" length My understanding is an AICS magazine will fit the Hawkins Hunter bottom metal. My problem is the Hawkins Hunter bottom metal...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Has anyone found bottom metal which will work with the CDG long action and a Manners stock? Everything I see in this thread seems to be in chassis which come with their own bottom metal. So far I have tried to make Hawkins Hunter and bdl bottom metal work, both unsuccessfully. My last hope is...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    That's what I was afraid of. This is sounding more and more like a work in progress. I have heard reports that ARC is willing to correct these issues including machining it to run with Hunter magazines. 3.7 is not an ideal COAL for a long action.

    Building perfect brass sorting/processing/reloading space

    AFFF for liquid fires. Not a good choice here.

    Building perfect brass sorting/processing/reloading space

    I don't see fire extinguishers. You might consider halon.

    Has anyone successfully run DBM bottom metal with the long-action CDG in a Manners stock? I tried and failed with Hawkins Hunter bottom metal and would like confirmation their or someone else's M5 DBM bottom metal with a CIP length AICS magazine will work in a Manner stock. Thank you for...

    ARC hunting rifle builds

    Helpful. Thank you. The action does drop into the LRH but the front and rear action screws bind the rifle bolt. The screws will need to be shortened, or the pillars will need to be a bit taller for this to work. I was hoping someone had found the solution here. Hawkins claims there is a...

    ARC hunting rifle builds

    I have not succeeded in fitting the Coup de Grace to a hunting rifle. The action is not compatible with bdl bottom metal for a start. The action does not drop into the LRH stock as the Mausingfield and Archimedes actions do. It looks to me as if the larger bolt is going to require that the...

    MDT Customer Service

    The firearms industry seems blessed with some of the very best customer service (Dillon) and cursed with some of the worst (you know who they are). This is a shoutout to MDT. Someone always answers the phone and is always knowledgeable and helpful. This past week, they outdid themselves. I...

    Which action in 2024?

    The TL3 and the Origin are at different price points. If you are happy with the lack of options for the Origin, that's a great choice. The others at the lower price point I have used are the American Rifle Company's Coup de Gras and the Defiance Classic. The Defiance Classic is a good choice...
