    Question about potential throat issue on brand new Accuracy International replacement barrel, pic's attached

    New Bolt Action Comp Ready Rifle on the Market.

    That looks sweet to me. I wouldn't require an integral rail and lug. The lug is dual-pinned and the rail is held with 8-32 screws.

    Something apparently unexplainable happening with my custom hunting rifle

    Something else that I've noticed affecting where the bullets end up is how many clothes you are wearing. Many in one case you are wearing a T-shirt and another case you are wearing a thicker shirt and a coat?
