    Barrel for my FN 3006 suprem model made in Belgiu

    An FN Supreme will have regular Mauser M98 threads. In Europe it should be fairly easy to source a Lothar Walther or Heym pre-fit. Not sure about Mexico.

    12 round double stack metal magazines

    All AICS are double stack (sort of) to single feed. are you looking for 12 round AW mags? Nobody makes one that i know of. The base plates are welded on though I’ve seen one that had the base plate cut off and a AICS extender installed

    Rifle Scopes "Philosophy of Use" for G3 Reticle?

    I ran a G2 then a G3 for my first couple seasons with good results but switched to a H59 because the G3 was just too narrow. Half a mil of wind down to 4 mils elevation leaves you holding in mid-air way too often. I’m also perplexed by the 1.25 mil ‘mover’ hash mark. The movers we shoot at...

    AICS mag feed issue

    A n unmodified Tikka long action will not function with an unmodified 3.715” AICS magazine. MDT produces their LA Tikka chassis with a proprietary 3.560” AICS pattern magazine for this reason. A spacer in the front would work in theory, but bullet noses dragging on a 3D print is a recipe for...

    custom action with similar threads to r700?

    I just went through this, with three low mile barrels two off a Stiller Predator and one off a Remington 700 They went onto a Defiance Tenacity. All I had to do is get the next thicker recoil lug so the gunsmith only had to trim the shoulder back to set the bolt nose clearance and headspace...

    What’s best magazine?

    Defiance’s description isn’t clear on their website about AiCs/AW they are available with the regular Remington 700 mag well, or the AW (defiance calls it ‘guardian mag cut) if you have the regular mag well tenacity, non binder plate mags won’t work without notching the feed ramp, regardless...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS 2 or DMR2

    same here. I have an XRS2 H59 and two HDMR2 H59 scopes. I only got the XRS2 because I was offered one for only a few dollars more than an HDMR2. Set side-by-each on 20x you have to look for shadows and features to discern any differences in clarity or brightness. On 12x where 95% of my shots...

    Advanced Marksmanship Tips & Tricks, from Tripods to Stage Examples for - UKD Team Field Match or Hunting

    Awesome information Diver. Team matches with ukd, loopholes, defiladed targets, and movers are the best! I've shot quite a few of the RTC matches in the NW and here's two tips I give new shooters; 1) always look at how and where the RO/Spotter is positioned, and use his line-of-sight to the...

    How would you set up a rig, cheap?

    If you like the A3 ergonomics, the Bergara HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor is what I'd buy as a economy rifle

    Best practices on how to sort brass?

    I used to have Folgers coffee cans everywhere with useless data marked with masking tape and sharpie. Now I use my AMP annealer as a 'reset' button on brass and treat all fired cases the same. I've verified the actual max case length in my rifle by chambering a fired case and looking down...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    It's not just chassis design. The original AICS pattern magazine is just too wide at the front to insert high enough into a unmodified Model 70 receiver. The MDT metal and poly mags are slightly smaller in the front, and the chassis was designed to move the magazine back as far as possible in...

    Solved my Problem with Fliers and Intermittent Accuracy Loss.

    I don't know about the Seekins, but the Precision Armament, Near, and MDT rails with recoil lugs all have elongated screw holes so the rail can slide forward and get proper contact with the front receiver ring. My opinion is that in these days of 35+ ounce scopes and heavy one+piece Spuhr type...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    I love mine. Had a PBR I foolishly sold, then managed to grab an action from CDNN and a second later at Midwest along with a couple A3G stocks. I have a couple new tech rifles on Defiance actions and MDT chassis’ that I shoot in matches but I still shoot the Model 70s ever chance I get
