    .338 lapua build

    Re: .338 lapua build If you are talking about these: http://www.montanarifleco.com/Professional%20Hunter.html I've heard good things, but not really about precision rifles. They are Dakota 76 competition. Of course, the Longbow is a excellent precision rifle by any measure. More...

    Re: .338 Lapua shooters, what's your setup At the risk of sounding like a HS-P fanboy... HS-Precision HTR, 27" bbl, McCann MIRS, Nightforce rings, Leup MK4 8-32X. That said, lots of good setups already posted.

    Hart, Kreiger or Bartlein?

    Re: Hart, Kreiger or Bartlein? Ah, but that is anecdotal support - not factual statements. Just a few years ago, the button rifled barrels owned benchrest, et al. There are still standing records where the shooter used a button rifled barrel. Are the aggs measurably smaller now vs. a few...

    Hart, Kreiger or Bartlein?

    Re: Hart, Kreiger or Bartlein? My point was missed. Let me make a few statements first: First, I am a cut rifling fan. I prefer 10X barrels to all others. That they are cut rifled is merely anecdotal to my preference, however. Second, I am not without some knowledge of engineering. I hold a...

    Gunsmithing Wood stocks

    Does anyone know of a supplier of wood stocks for 700s in a varmint style? Think wood version of the HS-Precision stocks. Laminate is ok, but I'd prefer walnut. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

    Hart, Kreiger or Bartlein?

    Re: Hart, Kreiger or Bartlein? Twist - potentially, the button rifling fans have to concede that point. It is indeed possible for the button to "slip" in the bore. In practice this is less likely than cut rifling fans would lead some to believe. Stress free - cut or button, the blanks that...

    .30-06 rifle build, input appreciated

    Re: .30-06 rifle build, input appreciated About 10 years ago I had Darrell Holland work over my very first hi powered rifle - a Remington 700 BDL in 30-06. It sports a HS-P stock and a 24in Hart bbl and some other upgrades. He essentially built up a close copy of a M24 in 30-06AI. As much...
