    Opinion on Using a BAT Action in a Tactical Rifle

    Hello everyone, I intend on purchasing a new custom rifle in 6.5x284 Norma. I'm in the brainstorming phase currently and I haven't purchased anything yet. I want a simple, precise, lightweight, low recoil, general purpose, tactical/hunter rifle. Most of the time I will be shooting paper from...

    Storing Rifle for Extended Period of Time?

    Hello diderr, I'm going to college to be an Electrical Engineer and just this past semester I took a Materials Science course. At the end of the course we learned about corrosion. See each metal has a different strength of attraction to electrons. So when we have two different metals, the metal...

    Thank you Wes for the ammo! I'm still interested in the 6.5x284mm. I'm not giving up on it! I need to do some more research on it!

    Converting Custom R700 from 300WM to 6.5x284

    Hey guys, Wow I didn't know the 6.5x284 was a long-action. Also I've been looking at the ballistics for the 6.5x284 and see that it has significantly less kinetic energy than the 300WM. Yikes! See I was hoping to improve upon my M40A3 by moving to a short-action M40A1. The short-action...

    Converting Custom R700 from 300WM to 6.5x284

    Hello everyone, I have a M40A3 based rifle chambered in 300WM and I was wondering how hard/expensive it would be to convert it to 6.5x284mm Norma? And just how much more beneficial is the 6.5x284mm over the 300WM? Joshua

    Hey weshowe, I'm so sorry I completely over looked your post about offering to send me some loaded ammo! I'm flattered and yes I would like to have a sample. I haven't ordered the rifle yet --it will be a while because I am selling a lot of my stuff to raise the money-- but I would definitely...

    Thank you thank you! Wow what a tale sinister of borrowing someone else's rifle and pulling off an incredible score! You must be one helluva shooter haha! So I definitely am leaning towards the 6.5x284mm Norma in my next custom rifle. I'm thinking about using Lapua cases, CCI BR2 primers, IMR...

    Semper Fi fellow Marines! My my what a small world we live in! But to tell you the truth, I'm not surprised to find all you guys on here :) I think the 6.5x284mm Norma would be a good match for me. It would take me while to reach that 1.5k-2k round count knowing me. I think you get a lot out of...

    Hey guys, I really appreciate everyone's thoughtful input and personal experience. Your opinion does matter to me and I will remember your advice when making future decisions. I hear some of you encouraging me try something in 6.5mm or the 260Rem over the 308Win. I may just do that as long...
