I am new so this will be my first Post worth anything well, Maybe just conversation..

I bought 3 of these. I naturally shoot left handed but being I just joined and had not planned on buying anything this was a last second purchase to ay the least but I feel good about it either way.

1- 223 cal
1- 308 cal
1- 308 Left Handed

I figured I need a nice bolt action rifle.. (actually have 4 safes in the garage full of them) I didnt have any Precision type guns per se.. For Fathers day I got a Ruger Precision in 308 as I figured it would be cheaper to learn on it vs a 6.5 Creedmoor .. My plan was to change the barrel out later and so on... I bought a Vortex Scope for it.. VORTEX Viper HS LR 6-24x50mm XLR Reticle 30mm.

I had neck surgery (this Aug will be 2 years) and I have not recovered yet C6 back in 2020 and C5 and C7 the last round. I am still having issues in my back and shoulders real bad so I havnt been shooting at all.. The Ruger looks a little dusty but still nice

So While I wait for my body to heal I figured I might as well plan. Definitely going to build a left handed rifle with this Action.. but I want to build the 223 first then the right handed 308 and then the left handed one.. Maybe I can learn on the first ones and really bring it home on mine.

SO, what would you or are your plans to build? I am not familiar with any aspect of a bolt action but have been Reading (Gucci posts lol). Just kidding.
What Chassis?
Barrel?
Grip and so on... Lets do a couple options..

#1 No limit on money (how would you build it and why)?

#2 A medium budget build ( meaning it doesnt have to be the best of the best) just function.. I do not want to upgrade anything later if I dont have too so I would rather do this one time ( or 3 in my case).

So what would you do or for those that have bought one of these, what are your plans.. Again I have no real experience in bolt actions... but I have build a few Ar15.... SO this will be fun for me and I will pass these down at some time..


EDIT to add I like the Precision chassis so that is what I am looking at... XLR Envy looks nice... Or something close to it.

Thanks guys (and gals).

After having to replace both hvac units for my home back in December, I am now in the process of research to seal and improve my home's insulation over the next few to several months.

My intention is to complete as much as I can. I am in the Georgia, so we have high humidity more than we don't and wide temperature swings.

My crawl space already has a vapor barrier, but it is compromised in spots. I plan to clean it up and lay down a new layer on top of existing layer, install rigid foam board on the walls per code, and close and seal off the vents. Once all that is finished my goal is to install a dehumidifier under the house. I have 2 tank water heaters, air handler, and duct work under the house.

I have 2 attics and both have full size insulated walk in doors. Part of the attic is floored with insulation underneath which is blown in fiber in some spots (not floored) and traditional batts in others.

My roof is a steep pitch due to cathedral ceilings in the home. I have researched spray foam on the rafters, but honestly that is probably going to be more than I want to spend because I don't intend to be here forever (maybe 10 years more). I'm guessing from what I have read and talked to others for me to hire a spray foam pro it would be $15K to $20K.

Any thoughts or does anyone have a home with rigid foam board attached to the rafters? I'm looking at going across the rafters not between - seems like that air pocket would be a benefit. My house has ridge and gable vents (small). I would seal up the small gable vents if I install the foam board. My other plan is to move the isulation between the joists and seal the seams etc. with foam.

I've searched and watched several videos, but would like to hear directly from home owners that have paid or done this themselves.
thank you

Looking for a good quality suppressor for a sbr. So many options out there. What’s repeatable, durable, and not too long. Would also prefer a quick detach.
Been running a few drills on the range and it would be nice to be a few decibels quieter.

Thanks!

I no longer hunt big game so I am selling my Springfield Armory 6.5 PRC 2000 Waypoint rifle. I want to sell everything as a package deal. You get a Redding 6.5 PRC two die set. Eight boxes of Hornady Factory ammo (found another box after I took the pic). Leupold VX-5 HD 3-15X44 CDS-ZL2, 30mm Side Focus Scope with Wind-Plex Reticle (eligible for free CDS dial). In addition to the 20 MOA Waypoint rail there is a Zero MOA Warne Mountain Tech Rail and a set of medium height 30mm Mountain Tech rings.

The rifle was $2,069.00. Ammo was $344.00. Scope was $999.99. Dies were $81.99. Mountain Tech rings were $134.99 and the Mountain Tech rail was $64.99. Total comes to $3694.96. Of course, you might find a less expensive source, but this will give you a ball park idea of replacement cost. I shot a dozen rounds or so through the rifle messing around with my chronograph, but I have never shot for groups or worked up a load.

I am asking $2500.00 delivered to your dealer Feel free to make an offer. Not interested in trades at the moment. I will take Money Orders or Bank Drafts. Can’t to PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, etc.

I saw this and had a chuckle, and had to share it.

Is this the new drink of choice among discriminating long range shooters?

Wanted to do my patriotic duty and bought a box of Chocolat Mint Girl Scout Cookies. Looks like I'm going to do the whole box tonight. Is that addiction, or just no self control?

Family and friends of Jen Angel — a 48-year-old woman who died on Thursday as a result of injuries sustained days earlier during a violent robbery in Oakland, CA — urged authorities not to pursue “traditional prosecution” against anyone charged with crimes causing her death due to the decedent’s support of “social justice” and opposition to “state violence.”

Angel’s family and friends published an open letter on the day of her death relaying their assessment of her philosophical and political views. Angel was a “social justice activist” and “anarchist” opposed the “state-sanctioned violence” via incarceration of convicted criminals, they wrote:

We know Jen would not want to continue the cycle of harm by bringing state-sanctioned violence to those involved in her death or to other members of Oakland’s rich community.
As a long-time social movement activist and anarchist, Jen did not believe in state violence, carceral punishment, or incarceration as an effective or just solution to social violence and inequity. The outpouring of support and care for Jen, her family and friends, and the values she held dear is a resounding demonstration of the response to harm that Jen believed in: community members relying on one another, leading with love, centering the needs of the most vulnerable, and not resorting to vengeance and inflicting more harm.

Click to expand...

The letter included a request from Angel’s family for “restorative justice”:

If the Oakland Police Department does make an arrest in this case, the family is committed to pursuing all available alternatives to traditional prosecution, such as restorative justice. Jen’s family and close friends ask that the media respect this request and carry forward the story of her life with celebration and clarity about the world she aimed to build. Jen’s family and friends ask that stories referencing Jen’s life do not use her legacy of care and community to further inflame narratives of fear, hatred, and vengeance, nor to advance putting public resources into policing, incarceration, or other state violence that perpetuates the cycles of violence that resulted in this tragedy.
