You could check with Lilja who makes a match grade barrel for the 455. They might be willing to make the new barrel with the muzzle thread you specify. Looks like they export. Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels And yes, the 455's are made to be switch barrel guns...

I had wanted to go with the DRO, but when it came down to a choice between tooling and that I went with the tooling. Just wanted to be up and running as quick as possible.

+1 on that. You mentioned starting with a short action set up for .223. Aside from the bolt face, you would have to change the feed rails as well. At that point it's really not worth it when one can find an action as common as a R700 with a .473 bolt face.

Wanted to post some photos of the new Grizzly G0670 Lathe. This is a Taiwanese 16x40 manufactured by the Shun Chuan Manufacturing company. Good quality stuff! Also wanted to say thanks to Shiraz for giving me good pricing on the lathe (as he has often done for other forum members). That...

Re: SS Hunting Rifle CZ 550 with a fullstock. It's blued steel. You're not going to find a manlicher stock with stainless unless you custom build it.

Re: The elusive FFL All good info! Thanks much for the help.......

Been doing my own hobby gunsmithing for awhile and finally getting to where it's time to get the manufactures FFL. What has been the process / experience of others here who have done so? Is it really as bad as some of the stories I've heard. Did you get a visit from BATF? The paperwork...

Re: Mcmillan coyote camo? Often times you can e-mail them a picture of a similar stock (to what you want) which you find here or on the net. Then they will do their best to match it. Worked out for me the last time.

Re: Test Indicators I have a couple of Interapid indicators which are great. They are swiss and top of the line. Here is a review of different brands that may be helpful: http://longislandindicator.com/p14.html http://longislandindicator.com/p116.html

Anyone shoot a savage model 14 in .308 or a model 114 in 30-06? Any thoughts? What has accuracy been? Thanks.

Re: CZ 452 varmint CZ 453 Varmint Thanks! Good info, just what I was looking for.

Re: CZ 452 varmint CZ 453 Varmint How is the set trigger in standard mode? Does it have much creep when you use it without the "set" function?

Anyone know the difference between these two? I checked out the CZ site and really couldn't see one. There must be something because I priced the 452 out at $400 and the 453 at $500.
