Thanks, Yeah I was thinking of shooting something in that range for my hunting load. Does anyone know off hand know about how much weight a LA Remington 700 receiver adds vs a SA? All other things being the same (stock, barrel contour, etc.) Also anyone running the Accurate short magnum mags...

Thanks for all the input! Right now I am thinking I will build a 284 if I go with a long action and a 7mm-08 if I go with short action. The barrel I have is a 1-9.5" so I don't really plan on shooting anything over the 162 a-max out of it. Seems like the 7mm-08 might be the best choice as I will...

RW Snyder does Tikka builds and usually has a pretty quick turn around time.

Thanks, what barrel length were you running on the 7mm-08?

So I have an extra 7mm blank and was thinking of building shorter barreled rifle in 7mm-08 or 284 Winchester. I would like to keep it around 22" or so, would I gain very much going to a 284 over a 7mm-08 in a barrel this short? Anyone have experience with both of these calibers in shorter...

Yeah I know its not a $1,000+ scope, but it isn't cheap tasco either. I would have expected it to hold up better than this for what they cost and from the reviews I've seen on them. I have Nikon's and other scopes in this price range that have been knocked over with no damage. Rifles get knocked...

Yeah I was pretty disappointed in their customer service, they said they couldn't even repair it at all. I have 5-6 weaver scopes and have been happy with them and their customer service in the past, but maybe I will stick to Vortex, Bushnell or another manufacturer in the future.

I've seen plenty of scopes go through much harder use than this took in test videos and keep on ticking... I wouldn't purposely abuse any of my gear ever, but I would expect it to hold up better than this from a short drop.

It couldn't have been that hard it was on a shooting bench, probably about 3-1/2 ft high and just barely got knocked off, not like some one kicked it off. I thought it seemed pretty well built too until this happened.

I have a Weaver Tactical Grand Slam Rifle Scope 3-10x 40mm scope, which is one of the scopes only offered by midway. A few months ago I was at the range shooting and a friend knocked over the rifle with the scope on it. After that it was way off target. So I removed the scope from the mount...

Thanks for the feedback and ideals. That would be pretty slick to have it set up with a stainless steel media cleaner! Stainless steel media is what I use and its hands down the best way I've found to clean brass so far, (I've tried sonic cleaners, tumblers, different cleaning...

Jake, Thanks for the input its greatly appreciated. I can't speak too much to your first point because we haven't spoken with many suppliers of parts or manufactures yet. However, we have tried to design it so that the majority of parts for it should be easily sourced (common bolt sizes...

Our current design uses two heating heads, to shorten the overall process time and allow for a more consistent heating.

No, we basically have the project complete and have had it planned out from the beginning of the semester. We purposely decided not to use limit switches and other similar control devices because that would significantly raise the cost of the machine. Quickly putting it out of the price range of...
