Slugging barrels......Don't F'in do things like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The owner of the rifle felt it wasn’t shooting good enough. He thinks the steel isn’t good. So, he decided to make his own bushing and put it on a cleaning rod and push it down the bore to check the barrel. He feels there are tight spots in it. I’ll guarantee you that he scored the tops of the lands. Barrel is guaranteed junk now.
Any lint, dirt, carbon particles etc.... will get forced between the slug and the bore and your going to do damage. Worse yet.... a steel bushing was made and to what spec it was made to and your pushing it down the bore. Nothing but a disaster here.

Nothing in his email about how he’s cleaning it, how many rounds on it… how it’s shooting etc… not to mention what the diameter/spec he made his custom steel bushing to in order to check the bore.

Yes.... No warranty being given.

I'm refraining from using very choice words right now!

Who hunts with a 14-16lb rifle?

Curious to hear who hunts with a 14-16lb rifle?

Getting a new barrel spun and my chassis, bipod, trigger, action, scope and rings weight 9.7lb. Want to use this for NRL hunter as well. I can get a match heavy Palma barrel for $335 shipped so I’m leaning towards that cut to a 24” which would put the build at around 15lb. Would prefer a medium Palma but the heavy Palma is too good a deal. When hunting in Wyoming the rifle will be packed in an Eberlestock with a scabbard so the weight is on my back. Is this a terrible idea?

Also, is a 24” for a 6.5CM going to be detrimental to accuracy with factory ammo? I could go 26” I guess. Talk me into/out of it

Thanks I’m advance

Enhanced, Monolithic, Semi Monolithic AR-15 Uppers

I am planning a “SPR/GPR” build and wanted to see if there were any upper receivers I should consider outside of the ones listed. I would like to use a monolithic, semi-mono, enhanced, etc. upper to reduce flex on the barrel. Ideally I would buy a mega mml but zev, in all their wisdom, decided to stop making them again.

LMT - proprietary barrels
Aero Enhanced
Seekins (these have large forearms)
Icon (former mega)
Ridgeline Defense (can you buy just a receiver?)
Cobalt kinetics
Sons of Liberty Gunworks
Vltor (key mod only?)


What am I forgetting?

Remington PSR Full Kit Serial Number Question ECMSR vs MSR

I’m looking for some serial number information on the Remington PSR full kit with .338Lapua, .300WinMag, and .308 Winchester barrels. I have the opportunity to pick the kit up at what I think is a reasonable price. I have two to choose from, though. Both are NIB. One has a serial number of ECMSR000XX and the other has a serial number of MSR00XXX. Does anyone know the significance or history behind the two different serials? The ECMSR has 3 zeros and 2 digits. The MSR has 2 zeros and 3 digits. Is one more collectible than the other? Were the EC’s early units, and the MSR’s later units? Vice versa? Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated. One of those two kits is coming home with me on Thursday.

BnA Tacsport X vs PRO

Looking to get either a Tacsport X or Pro X for my 2 Zermatt Origins (2 stage). My understanding is the 2 main differences are the pull weight range and the polished internals.

Anyone have both and could you tell a difference in the feel between the two from the Pro X having the better honing?

Also, from this Chart it seems that my Origin may need the low sear which I understand is going to cost even more money on top of the original purchase price.
Anyone run a Tacsport with a Zermatt action without issues?

Thanks

Night Vision WTS POT Voodoo MX with Remote

Gents,
Moving sale! We are leaving WA and headed back east to be closer to family. WA has turned into a Liberal Hell Hole, and we are out with retirement.

Little less than a year left on the warranty. Original owner. The unit is spot less and a frigging awesome thermal with the included RF and AB. I have just under $35K into it, It's the Full kit. Yours for $30K + shipping and insurance. ITAR applies and will be followed. So, U.S. Citizens only, and only sold in the U.S.A.
Only three possible trades + cash on your side.
1. PVS-31A or D, but they have to have excellent Specs.
2. One of Jay's PVS-27's in WP. Again with excellent specs.
3. POT Voodoo S with an Envision cable

Pics to serious inquires.

Thaks for looking,

Muzzle brake question

Hey guys. I’m building a 7prc. First time building a custom bolt action rifle and first time posting here on snipers hide. Hoping someone can help with a question. I am looking at area 419 muzzle brakes to put on my proof barrel. Area 419 doesn’t make a specific 7mm prc brake, but they are telling me that the 30 cal will fit it and not make any issues with accuracy. Does anyone have experience with this? Or any recommendations to another company that make 7prc specific muzzle brakes?

This will be an elk hunting rifle, but I also do a lot of target shooting at the range. I’ll be shooting it 1000+ yards on the range so I want don’t want to sacrifice accuracy by getting the wrong muzzle brake.
