    3D Printers for beginers

    I've got a Prusa MK3 at work that we've been using a bit recently. We bought it unassembled, I assembled myself, that took a fair amount of time. I wouldn't necessarily go that route, it's neat to see how it works, but there's a lot of ways to mess things up if you lack attention to detail...

    The Fix from Q

    Interested in a trade? Perhaps a brand new Proof 20" 6.5 CM?

    New Sig CROSS

    I know The Fix originally used a barrel extension with a lock nut that was used to adjust headspace. A few guys eliminated the lock nut and shouldered the extension to the barrel with correct head space. Maybe The Cross does similar, and Tooley is eliminating the lock nut. I agree, I don't see...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    I hear that. My plan was for this rifle to be my new "old reliable" and so far it has not disappointed.

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    Honestly, I've never shot it passed about 800 yards, and I've only done that a few times. I don't have access to a range with that kind of distance so I have no idea where my transonic distance would be. It's a1:8 twist barrel, I don't reload and probably won't in the near future. It shoots...

    Tikka t3x tac or wait for Sig Sauer Cross (6.5 Creedmore)

    The Cross was "designed" to give hunters some of the features that they wanted from the precision/chassis crowd. If you're just looking to get into long range target shooting then the Tikka or any number of other rifles would be better suited for you than the Cross. Some think the cross looks...

    Gunsmithing When bedding...how do you keep the epoxy out of the pillar hole?

    Not sure about Howa, but when I've bedded my Rem. 700 I use some extra long screws that fit the action threads (1/4-28) Cut the heads off and wrap the screw body with painters tape until the diameter of the wrapped screw fits snuggly into the pillar holes. The painters tape helps block the...

    New Sig CROSS

    I wasn't implying that they didn't ship those rifles, I'm sure they did. I also know that my small anecdotal story about making sure parts were ready to ship before advertising is minuscule compared to Sigs manufacturing quantities. The point I was trying to make was why ship the rifles and then...

    New Sig CROSS

    I helped a buddy design and build some custom motorcycle parts, he'd always wait to reveal/advertise until he had the product complete, on the shelves, and ready to ship. He said he wanted all those tire kickers to put their money where there mouth is, instead of the whole "can't wait to order...

    New Sig CROSS

    I think cost is a big factor. But I'd be curious to see how many hunters, outside of the guys on forums like this, even know what an ARCA rail is.

    Hunting & Fishing Do you hunt for Horns or Venison

    Somewhere between the two I suppose (meat and horns), California allows us two deer tags. I try to hold out for a mature buck if I can, but meat in the freezer is always a motivator.

    Am I the only one that doesn't get the Fix Q?

    It's not for everyone and that's fine. But it checked a lot of boxes for me. It's light weight, slim, and trim. I like the modularity of the rail/handguard. The stock is much slimmer than most other chassis and the hinge mechanism is small. When folded it takes up very little space. This was...
