Thoughts on the Accurate Mag Chassis?
I was looking for lightweight minimalistic chassis for a 223 build. I liked the skeletonized design, but couldn't find anything on the weight. Spoke to company and found out stripped down chassis was still heavier than AIC 2.0 chassis by like 1lb. Quite surprised by this and asked why...- Oso

New Build - 223 vs 223AI
Thank you for the insight and personal experiences with your own builds. I am going to pass on the fluting (Brux voids warranty on barrels fluted by anyone but them), and instead I will apply the funds toward a stamp tax. I already have a larger caliber setup that covers distance. The...- Oso

New Build - 223 vs 223AI
I am starting a new build in the 223 family. The gun is a trainer and will be used to shoot mostly paper and some steel mostly mid-range, but on occasions stretching it out the 1,000 yards. The hardware for the gun is Rem 700 action, Brux M24 1:7 twist at 24", Jewell trigger, AIC 2.0 chassis...- Oso

Rebarreling a R700 .243 with a Bartlein Barrel, Which Length to choose?
243 Fan I am assuming that the groupings are at 100 yards. If so then I think the gun is underperforming. I am assuming all components are good quality (stock & trigger). I built a 243 Win using Rem700 and a Bartlein Heavy Varmit 1:8 twist at 24". It consistently 5 shot group of 1/4"...- Oso

Rem 700 SPS .223 - Muzzle Jump Issue
I am shooting handloads - 23.4gr TAC with 69gr Sierra Matchking. By no means is this a hot load...just a relatively accurate sub-300yrd plinker. You would think I was sending a rocket down the tube the way it bucks off the bench.- Oso

Rem 700 SPS .223 - Muzzle Jump Issue
I have a Rem 700 SPS, which is the short tactical with a 20" barrel. This s a fun play gun...so I made only a few minor changes to it including a Bell&Carlson stock and a Timney Trigger. Eventually it will get the full treatment or truing, re-barreling, DBM, and better stock. I am probably a...- Oso

Opinions on 243 win rifle
Just finished a 243 build that started similar to how yours started. I thought that I could pull the pieces together and save some money as opposed to going full custom. I purchased Rem 700 SPS in 243 with varmint barrel (9.125 twist). I decided that the steps were to first fit the action to...- Oso

Fireforming to bring Cases back into Spec
Brand new Daniel Defense...didn't want to beat it up quite yet by a hard slam. It wasn't the crimp. Initially believed it was a fired round that jammed. After initial attempts with charging handle went ahead and took off the upper to get a better view of bolt. Used a cleaning rod to gently...- Oso

Fireforming to bring Cases back into Spec
During an OCD moment, my brother loaded 1,000 rounds of .223. These were nice components...new Lake City brass, VMax bullets, CCI primers, and H335 powder. Ignoring the fact that he didn't trim the case length, he used a neck die that was set too low resulting in the shoulder getting pushed...- Oso

Need Help Choosing Which CZ
Re: Need Help Choosing Which CZ I bought the 455 Varmit Thumbhole Stock. Mine has a single set trigger. The trigger is fantastic and you can't beat the feel of a thumbhole on a light caliber rifle. I spent $500. Reality of multibarrel is that you are more likely going to keep one barrel...- Oso
