Ok, so I'm thinking of embarking on my first bolt action build. Here are my preliminary findings/thoughts... I'm 99% sure I want to chamber it in 264 win mag. I want to do it in a savage action because of the ease of changing barrels for my first bolt build. So here's my question... Is the...

Re: so... Grendel it is I just made a similar post on another thread. But I've got an ER Shaw barrel from Model 1 Sales on my Grendel. They have them in stock on their website and at $235 can't beat the price. They call it the "6.5 Sporter" but it's a Grendel. I have a 16" medium contour...

Re: Grendel build or buy I know a lot of people don't speak highly, but I have an ER Shaw barrel that I got through Model 1 Sales on my grendel and it shoots great. It's medium weight. Actually (not to open a can of worms) but a bull barrel doesn't increase accuracy. What it does do is...

Re: Scope question That sounds good, I'll take a look at thier website again to see if I can figure out what it is.

Re: Scope question The only reason I have been thinking about changing is because of how big and heavy it is. The thing weighs over a pound. And where I do most of my hunting it's rare to get a a field of view over 200 yards. That's why I was thinking something built a little more for medium...

Re: Scope question That looks nice, but the website says that it's only slightly shorter in length than the bushnell and it's actually almost 2oz heavier. I'm looking for something shorter and ligher. Otherwise I really like my bushnell. I just looked at the leupold mark 4 mr/t. It's 4"...

I have been out of the loop for a while. Currently I have a Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x on my rifle and I'm looking to get something a little lighter and lower powered for hunting with. It's going on my AR chambered in 6.5 grendel. I was thinking of the Leupold VX3 and maybe getting them to put...

Does anyone know of a good reloading app for the IPOD/IPOD touch? I know there are good ballistics calculators out there but I was looking for something that would give estimated muzzle velocities and pressures for different load amounts etc. Anyone know of any?

Re: chamber reaming Six Five, Yeah I love the 6.5 bullets,they're awesome!! I'm not sure you could beat the 140 grain Berger with a BC of .612 moving at 3,200 fps. NotaGuru, How short is a "short chamber". I mean how much metal will I actually be removing. Also I was considering getting...

Re: chamber reaming I like the idea of getting a short chamber that way I only have to "finish" the chamber out, however could still say (sort of) that I chambered it. Pac Nor sells "pre-fit" barrels. I was thinking of getting one of these that was already threaded. However would there be a...

I'm starting to think about building a long range hunting rifle. I'm going to be attempting to build this thing myself and I'm chambering it in 264 Win. Mag. I'm thinking I'm going to build it on a savage action (possibly a custom action, haven't decided yet) My question is... Has anyone tried...

Re: Texas competitions???? Sorry if I seemed to be over reacting. it seemed to me that I was being "shunned" so to speak because I didn't fill out my profile. I'll work on putting down some info.

Re: Texas competitions???? So let me see if I understand how the forum works... Unless I divulge personal information (which could easily be fake) I am cosidered to be a "troll" whatever that is? This despite the fact that, while few so far, all of my posts have been appropriate. That doesnt...

Re: Texas competitions???? Man what is the deal with completing my profile. Why can't we just talk on the forum?

I'm looking to compete using rifle and pistol. I'll do 3 gun however I'm not to keen on the shotgun part. Anyone know of any comps going on in texas, or oklahoma? I know about the 3 gun being put on by Larue Tactical however I think that might be out of my league and I don't think I can swing...
