    Gunsmithing Proper muzzle Brake Bore

    Hey all, Getting ready to install a MRAD brake on my 300WM. I have heard different opinions on boring a muzzle brake. The first one is that the bore of the brake should be the same diameter for all baffles.(Makes perfect sense to me) The second one is that the bore of the first baffle should be...

    First day out with the M24

    Nice groups there. Though I must say, Reloading would be a great idea. I think with a nice tailored load, Your rifle would shoot one hole all the time. I can definitely see some potential in the groups you have posted. You're definitely shooting some nice groups but I think a nice reload would...

    ah remington why am I so suprised......

    All of the big gun companies will have a lemon slip by every now and then. I just sent a brand new Remington 700 police model in 300WM back to them because when we fired the first round through the brand new rifle, the shell required a clearing rod to extract. Brand new rifle with Remington...

    questions with my 300 Win mag build

    Oh Lord, I've been going through the exact same thing trying to decide on bbl. length for the 300. Right now its 26''. I decided to leave it at 26'' and install a brake. The 1-10" 5R rifling works great with the 208 AMAX. You can run heavier bullets but you must go REALLY heavy to beat the B.C...

    Nearly Perfect Tac Match Rifle

    6.5 SAUM definitely looks like a good round but having to make the brass... Not too big a deal I guess. If A match was going to require a lot of 1000 yard type stuff maybe my 300WM would be good to use? Then have a 6.5CM or a 6.5 Rem Mag for everything else? Decisions, Decisions...

    Thanks all, Very good info. LCDR JGB, You're absolutely right as far as I must figure it out on my own. Lol I'm not expecting to be spoon fed the perfect rifle design or anything. My OP was created just to get some ideas and to see what the majority of you all like to use. Even though there...

    Nearly Perfect Tac Match Rifle

    Good info there. I'm still just learning about tac match. PRS, ASC? I searched these and could only find info about a specific match. Is there a website that would have the rules and requirements for the different classes of shooting? There are different classes. Right? Turbo54 Thanks for the...

    Nearly Perfect Tac Match Rifle

    Hey all, I'm getting ready to start buying parts for a rifle that I want to build for the tactical long range matches. What are some of the things you like on a tac match rifle?

    sinclair tactical bipod

    Hey there, How do you like the Sinclair pod? It looks to be very solid in the pictures but I have never seen one in real life. Generally anything with Sinclair's name on it is excellent equipment. I have the atlas quick lever pod on my tac gun and love it but it would be nice to have a swivel...

    Show me your extended range steel target

    If you could modify it so it hangs from the stand and make a Hit flag for it. I cant post pictures but I built hit flags for my plates using thin wall tubing and welded a piece of square sheet metal to them. Basically you have a piece of tubing that extends about 20 inches out from the back of...
