    First Custom Action - Phoenix Machine

    Re: First Custom Action - Phoenix Machine Now the big question becomes as I acquire the pieces for this rifle, and with GAP's lead time currently pushed out. Who/where would you recommend to send said pieces to for assembly? Or should I just wait for GAP to start accepting things again?

    First Custom Action - Phoenix Machine

    Re: First Custom Action - Phoenix Machine First impressions are that it's fantastic fit and finish. The machine work looks excellent and he has a great reputation. This particular action very closely resembles the 2nd gen GAP Templar action and if it's good enough for them, it's good enough...

    First Custom Action - Phoenix Machine

    It's amazing how long it seems when you're waiting for something new, and this has been no exception. Now that it's here it's waiting to be completed which will unfortunately have to be piecemeal, but it's a start! Ultimately it's going to be a .308, with a Bartlein barrel, in either a manners...

    Help me buy a TRG 42 338 LM...

    Re: Help me buy a TRG 42 338 LM... It seems to me that if what you really want is one of the newer TRGs and you're willing to walk past the option of a custom rifle, you shouldn't settle, but instead focus on what you want and go that route. Not that a TRG in any flavor is really settling...

    Lefthanded choosing a bolt gun?

    Re: Lefthanded choosing a bolt gun? So I've decided that I'm going to pursue a RH bolt rifle and will probably be piecing it together so I can get exactly what I want. If I find that I don't like RH action I can always sell the rifle or piece it out and try again on the other side. I...

    Lefthanded choosing a bolt gun?

    Re: Lefthanded choosing a bolt gun? Here are my thoughts on this. I can see the value in having a RH rifle for the sake of resale, advantages of prone firing, wide rifle selection. I also see the downside of a RH rifle in the less convenient methods of cycling the bolt for positional...

    Lefthanded choosing a bolt gun?

    I've read and understand the arguments about a LH using a RH bolt gun when shooting prone, but that it becomes problematic for positional shooting. I can see the advantages on both sides of the table however when the question gets asked "What are you planning on doing with it?" I can say that I...

    First non-rimfire rifle

    I'm very interested in starting long range shooting, either simply for fun or if I can find skills hidden inside me for competition as well. So I'm looking for as the post says my first non-rimfire rifle. From being a lurker I know there will be a lot of recommendations towards the Remington...
