    Maggie’s Whats the absolute worst conditions you'll go shooting?

    Rain. Here in South Texas I don't know of any ranges with grass so it usually turns into a mud pit quick.

    should I go chassis or normal stock?

    20 weeks and 1 day. Take the time to work up some hand loads, work on consistent trigger pull and follow through. I've held an AI chassis and was not impressed, however others love them. The KRG whiskey 3 is the only other stock I looked at but I'm glad I got the Manners.

    should I go chassis or normal stock?

    I have the T4A with the built in mini chassis and it is fantastic! Truly the best of both worlds. It is comfortable easy to install and the folks over Manners have phenomenal customer service. The wait is well worth it.

    Picking up my new AAC-SD at the FFL soon; is the Hogue iovermold stock complete crap?

    Short answer no, but it'll make you work for it. I got sub MOA out of my 700 in a Hogue stock with hand loads. But I had a really good base and rings and shot from a bipod and rear bag. It's the whole Indian versus the arrow thing. I waited 4 months for my Manners stock and it was worth every day.

    bought a 700 today

    I still have my 700 tactical in the less than desirable Hogue stock. It's not terrible but lacks the rigidity I would like. That being said don't forget about a bipod and a rear bag. There are plenty of options. Hand loads make a world of difference, components are difficult to find now but...

    Fathers- what's a good tactical diaper bag? haha

    Get a good bag you'll use, if you like it you'll use it more and you can never have too much stuff.

    Rifle Scopes Triji. TR23 w/Amber chevron as precision optic?

    I've been reading and studying up on optics to try and figure out what new scope I want on my 700. I can't see myself shooting past 500 regularly, although I would like to. I'm currently using a mil dot reticle but have never milled a target, I just use my rangefinder. I see the validity in...

    My project rifle is half way there....

    Nice build. I went with a T4A as well. Mine won't be ready until late March or early April, the wait is killing me. What color did you go with? I went with forest.

    Re: Never Satified-itis My father has been reloading for about the last 40 years, so no he didn't slap a bullet on on a random case with some random pistol powder. I bought varget powder and nosler brass and we worked with Nosler and Hornady bullets to find a round a round that grouped best...
