First True light Gunsmithing Bench

Ive always wanted to dable in some light Gunsmithing. Nothing to crazy just dropping barreled actions into different stocks or Chassis like MDT makes. Wanted to do this for a long time but was too nervous to take the plunge. I would also like to be able to change barrels out as well. Not to turn my own barrels but prefits that i could go from 308 to 6.5 etc... So, I'm having a bench put together from some leftover wood. I'm having it over built for strength my question is what vices or tools do I need to get started headed down this road. I've seen some Real Avit gun vices that look nice but I think that those would only help in dropping barreled actions into MDT stocks. So I know I would need a barrel vice and extra tools. Sorry that was alot but I've got many questions and just need some good guidance. I don't need the best tools just tools that will last and serve me well. Again mostly stock changes and barrel changes are what I'm looking to do. I have a tipton gun vice I use for cleaning but if there is a better one out there for that please let be know. I have the best gun vice but the Tipton ultimate is pretty damn tempting. Thanks for any and all help!!

6mm ARC vs 6mm Max

Hey all, been awhile since I've posted here and hoping to get the Hide's advice on an upper build I am looking at pursuing. I currently have a 16" 223 Wylde build that is my do all rifle based on a Seekins lower with LMT SOPMOD stock, Spikes T2 buffer, Tubbs flat wire spring, and Geissele SSA-E trigger. I'm looking to build two additional uppers, one in a 300blk for CQB work, and a 6mm offering as a DMR type platform to reach out to the 1000m territory and possibly use in PRS competition.

For the DMR build precision and reliability are my top priority, which has me in the pickle over 6mm ARC vs 6mm Max. I've read a lot about both cartridges here and elsewhere, and while 6mm ARC has more history and development, I'm concerned about some of the things I've read about reliability. Magazine feeding (although it sounds like that's been getting better with newer designs) and bolt lug/extractor failures. I've also read about the 6 ARC running excessively dirty particularly when suppressed, which I am planning on running a suppressor for this build (probably a flow through design that would hopefully mitigate some of dirtiness). That being said, 6 ARC sounds like it handles the heavier projectiles better that would be suited for long range work (I'm thinking about 20-22" barrel for what it's worth).

Now onto 6mm Max, I like the idea that on paper it sounds more reliable using a standard 223/5.56 bolt face. But I know it still requires proprietary magazines, and there's been very little development/literature out on the cartridge. I know it also won't handle some of the larger projectiles over 105 grain.

So should I try the new kid on the block that might fizzle out completely (6mm Max), or go for the more tested but possibly more finicky 6 ARC? I do reload so factory ammo availability isn't as much of a concern for me. I appreciate any guidance you guys have!

Which scope for 1000 yard rifle

I’ve seen a couple of threads on here recommending this and that for getting into the thousand yard game. I’ve noticed a lot of the links are not working anymore or the scopes have been discontinued. I want a Leupold mark five so bad I can taste it but just can’t turn loose 2000+ bucks. Right now I’ve got a Swarovski 5 x 25 and I just cannot make myself like that scope, it’s not what I want. I just don’t like it. I can’t explain why. I’ve got several of the Leopold VX5HD 3-15x56 scopes on other guns and I really like those, but I need more than 15 power I think or so I? Whats a good scope in the 25x class? I just can’t bring myself to spend $2100 bucks on a scope.
