I'm still saving my pennies. Please keep this thread updated with reviews and range reports.

I don't think I would epoxy them, if they were mine. It seems to me that the design only tightens on the rail under recoil. Wouldn't epoxy likely keep the bases from tightening under recoil? I would let them tighten under recoil and then make a witness mark so I could tell if they had ever...

Wow! Great looking rifle and scope combo! I assume that's the Seekins built stock? If you have any comparison between their in house stock and other stock options, I really would like to hear your thoughts on it. Have you noticed any concerning level of roughness in the action? Can't hardly wait...

The hunter version in 6.5PRC will be my new long range hunting rifle unless I can find anything that offers a better light weight, and accuracy combination close to the same price. Saving every dollar possible right now. I think I like the anticipation of a new gun almost as much as getting...

I suppose it's obvious to someone more informed but I'm not right now and some other newby may not be either. Which one has the better glass?

Try some Accubonds, Partitions,or Barnes bullets in it before you give up. Nothing wrong with a 7 mag.

Yes, but he also wants to shoot to 1000. Not meaning to argue. I'm asking because I'm considering same. The 26 may be unwieldy, but many hunting rifles are 24". How much speed would be lost with 4" less barrel? IS it not enough to be a consideration at 1000?

Why the preference for shorter barrels?

What kind of accuracy are you seeing from your friend's rifle? I've been considering one as a light weight hunting rifle.

high speed, short range, smaller caliber, I would be looking at using something bonded, a partition, or mono metal like the Barnes. I prefer bullets that stay together and penetrate fully, even if weird things happen or you are faced with the choice of a less than good shot angle.

Guys, I sure would appreciate some range reports and group pictures of the good and bad from these rifles when you get a chance. I'm saving my pennies leaning toward the Havak . I've also considered the Christensen Ridgeline. It would be a long range hunting rifle. I have a Bushnell 3-12 LRHS...

I am considering one of these as a light weight hunting rifle with long range capability. I understand that the action is a 700 profile or nearly so. I have read though of some different stock fit problems. Does anyone know if the short action 6.5 Creedmoor or PRC would fit into a more...

I understand the eye box being small at 18X but my experience is that's the case with any scope I've used. I compared the Z5 in the store to some others and at 3.5X-12X I didn't notice the eye box being worse than my current scopes of similar power of 3-10 and 4-12. The VX6 is known for a good...

I'm scoping a new to me Forbes 24B in 270. My intention is to set this up as a 400-500 yard gun which would be long range hunting for me. When I purchased this rifle I bought a SWFA 3-9 MQ for it but quickly learned that scope wouldn't allow ejection with the windage turret due to a high...
