    All In One Drag Bag / Mat, or Separate Bag and Mat?

    Looking to get a nice bag for my precision rifle, and a mat for clinics and comps. Any input on from those who like the all-in-one drag bag and mat, or if having those pieces of gear separate works better for you. Thanks!

    Shims for Rem 5r mil spec threaded barrel?

    Does anyone know what size or where I can get shims for aligning a muzzle brake on a 5r mil spec 300wm barrel? Or do I just need to take the measurements and find the right sizes on McMaster and the like? Wanting to fix this...

    tikka t3 .223 8 twist 75 amax

    I can seat .223 rounds longer than my 2.260 in my 700P and still use the mag. And the mag can be modified to go even longer still... Be sure of your limits in that rifle.

    Tikka 223 New Twist Rate

    I have a rem 700P in 1:9 and the heaviest I can get is around 70gr. Personally, I would not buy another .223 bolt rifle in anything less than 1:8-- unless you plan to keep your shooting under 200 yards or are simply trying to get hits on big pieces of plate steel. The .223 is cheap to load...

    Did I screw up my muzzle brake?

    It was blue in color, though I seem to recall some brand of thread locker using a blue color even though it was the "permanent strength" stuff, but maybe I am miss remembering. So I hesitate to say for sure which strength was used, though whatever it was, he used A LOT. Enough to where he...

    Did I screw up my muzzle brake?

    Well that is what I was hoping to do when I tried to remove it... Maybe a little heat to soften the lock-tite?

    Did I screw up my muzzle brake?

    I had this put on today and the smith didn't get it clocked quite right. I should have looked it over closer while at the shop-- mistake #1. #2, I should not have stuck a steel rod in the port to try and twist it off-- that was dumb, I should know better, did not expect the SS to do that...

    dumb question for the weekend - 556 in a 223 bolt gun?

    +1 here too No sense in buying that gun unless you plan to pony up for some match rounds, or at least reload that 5.56 ball ammo after it has been shot with some match grade bullets. Otherwise, get that mossberg or something else in that price range.

    Help Choosing a Starter 300wm

    Yeah, I know, I own both. I would not let the trigger weigh on the decision-- both give a forgettable performance.

    Help Choosing a Starter 300wm

    Comparable in what regard? The 5r has different riffling and a SS action and threaded barrel. I own both a 700p and 5r, and the 5r operates a little smother. I am told that is part do to some glass beading done to the SS action that is not performed on 700p. They both shoot great, but I do...

    308 or 300 WIN Mag which is better

    What about the do-all cartridge in between those-- the 30-06? I don't have experience with it myself, but I have seen several people note that it can be easily be loaded down to near .308 specs or up near 300 WM.

    new custom rifle painter. watchout shortbus

    I wasn't trying to put you down or anything-- I was being sincere, haha. It takes a real man to be seen on the line with a neon pink, green, yellow, and orange finger painted rifle. I might let my kid paint a cheap Boyd's stock for a .22 or something-- I could see that being a treasured...
