The 22 bench rest match at PHA is the third Sat morning of the month. Then they will shoot again the following Thursday morning. You can check out the range web page for details, pha-range.com. The proper name for the place is Piedmont Handgunners Association, but they have rifle, SG, pistol, and a dedicated 22 range. They are located a little below the Lexington area, near I-85. The match is very laid back, with a lot of friendly people, and there is a class for you to shoot in, no matter how built, or factory your rifle is. They only charge $5 to shoot. Best deal in town. Get there early, as the benches fill up fast, and have a good 50 yd zero. Come on out. ETA, I shoot uspsa on that Sat, so I’m there on Thursdays. They also shoot BR at Riverside in Richfield on the 1st Saturday, and DPRC in Mebane has a more tactical style match, but I’m not sure of the weekend.

77tmk. Have shot matches with it and piled up plenty of coyotes. It’s a great bullet for both. Smk i would think is great also.

200 never opened
100 opened fired once
100 opened and maybe 50 fired once rest are new

Hi, I am new here. I recently got a left-handed t3x lite 300WM stainless steel. I would like to have it threaded. But the local gunsmith told me the barrel is too thin. Does anyone have any experience with any gunsmith that can do the same barrel other than buying a new barrel and installing it? I am willing to ship to any great gunsmith as well. My first goal is to thread it to patterns that can install muzzle brakes, such as silencerco ASR. I will be really appreciate if any of you can give me any advice. Thank you.

Long Rifles Inc in Sturgis SD did this for my factory barrel. It was a Tikka T3 lite stainless 300WSM. The problem is that those profile of barrels are too thin for there to be a shoulder behind the threads for a muzzle device to tighten up against. LRI machined a nut(which was like a thick washer with two flats). My muzzle device shouldered up against that nut. It worked great and I put maybe 500-1000 rounds down it. The muzzle device was a CB9.

Break out your dremel with the smallest engraving bit. There’s usually just enough room back at the shank where you can engrave a digit for reference.

Will there be fire cracking on a barrel that new?

Someone needs to import the Praezise-Jagen products!

Even a screw knob would at least make the Annex picatinny mount QD.



Or maybe this kind of lever:



You can index them, they're like a small pod-loc.

Aside from the things that have been mentioned, when I've had trouble with a barrel fouling after a few dozen rounds it's been because of the powder. Either the powder I used was overly dirty or I wasn't getting the pressure up to where the powder burned most efficiently.

H1000 is viewed as a relatively clean powder. Is the load you're using on the low side?

Does anyone regret this type of move with an r700?

I know that sounds crazy, right. I have a r700 LA in a McMillan A5a, and I have this undying urge to change it.

I was just going to paint it; its molded in desert/sand camo from McM, i live in ME, we have no desert. I just can't bring myself to paint a molded in camo.

Always like the AI setups; still too poor for a $7k+ weapon system, when I've yet to acquire all the NV goodies. So I've been considering trading off, or just plain swapping out the McMillan to satisfy this itch.

Am I way off? Am I likely to see no change in the rifle, other than the look and maybe a folder? The rifle shoots great as is, so I'm not desperate for improvement there. Cost seems reasonably close to a McMillan or Manners setup; maybe slightly higher.

Go into settings, then camera settings, and enable rotation. For the ZCO, just back off the insert a bit so the zoom lever can rotate freely and it should work.

Congress (those elected to do the will of the people) created the alphabet and these courts for one reason. They make rules and laws to rule over the people and Congress is not held accountable for it.
The "By The People For The People" has been a figment of the imagination for a very long time.

All the world is a stage

Not to be political/ serious on this thread but I think they were serious about it the last 2 years.

But it seems that the old guard of the dems (pelosi, Obama, Clooney etc), might have used up all their political capital this last ejection.

AOC and Newsom types are taking control of the party, and they aren’t going to let what happen to sanders happen again.

Op: I should clarify, I was informing you that +/-.02 was available, not necessary.
Without getting into semantics, you want a good quality  repeatable scale. Isolate it as best you can from drafts, dust/debris and vibrations. whether you choose digital or beam, check it's zero periodically.
Load safe/reliable ammo 1st, then get into the menutiae of precision. The first part is relatively easy, accurate ammo isn't all that hard with good components. Tweaking variables can improve accuracy incrementally.

Would you sell the large primer system?
