    Extractor Question

    In my personal opinion the only extractor worth getting excited about is a TG mechanical; advantage being you can headspace with the bolt installed. Advantage to m-16 or sako 85 style would be consistent throw or more predictable extraction on a ramp feed. If I was running a rem style id only...

    Ruger American ( the new 700)?

    Agreed with tylerw02 more reminiscent of a tikka action. My last budget build was a Howa 1500 but, I think this RAR will make a better all rounder being a flat sided action and I am a fan of the v bed dual recoil lug concept. Hammer forged barrel like a SPR. Just hoping they make something...

    FNH SPR A1 (308) Tell me what you think.

    im a fan, solid, heavy hitter. kinda tac shooter that can be an heirloom. good fit finish and reliability. the detachable 4 round mag has a strange fit up though. almost need to wiggle it forward a bit to click in place or just slam it in. its not necessarily a con but will take you back a...

    How well does your FN SPR shoot?

    A1 24"/ with 175 sierra match bt 3/8" at 100, 168 sierra match 7/16" at 100. the 12 twist likes the heavier more for me. Spent just as much on a custom m1500 set up and this outa boxer does better than all my fancy gizmo smithy mods on a custom. Needles to say advertises 1moa shooter but...

    7mm creedmoor

    Re: 7mm creedmoor I'm just approaching this but couldn't a 284 win potentially be a better fit for this. less neck down than the 30 tc and a softer neck angle by 10 degrees or so? I mean with hodge 15 or 17 a 7mm 284win though a tight coal would be a screamer around 150 grain. Or would the...

    input needed tikka t3 lite or ruger american??

    Re: input needed tikka t3 lite or ruger american?? Tika is an excellent platform which has been based on the sako which is replicated by many; including nosler 48, howa m1500, s&w 1500, weatherby vanguard along with several others. I find these actions easily bedded with a simple butt drop...

    Teflon-S coating for precision rifle

    Re: Teflon-S coating for precision rifle I have the Teflon in dead flat on action. went with sniper grey cerakote on bolt. I can tell you after 900 rounds cerakote shows wear and teflon does not. In the dissimilar coatings battle teflon wins. Which really surprised me I was really hoping...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Anyone with advice on rugers warranty service?

    Re: Anyone with advice on rugers warranty service? I sent a P944 da/sa special edition in because I was not happy with the barrel rest, the slide slack and the internal decocker rattling noise. I paid overnight freight, ups of about 70 bucks. Two months later I received my P-944 back with a...
