    My Two Options

    From what I understand he does, but I didn't see the rem actions either, just the barrels for them. It may be worthy to ask though. Just a thought, but you might consider the savage action. You can rebarrel yourself, better trigger imho, and tighter tolerances. Just my .02

    My Two Options

    Based on what your looking for, I would take a look at Jim Briggs at Northland shooter supply. He does actions for savage and the Remington 700. offers criterion barrels, custom hand lapped. Around 500 for the action, 300-350 for the barrel. If you go savage you don't have to have it bedded...

    Range Report Sectional Density

    It's used in calculating the ballistic coefficient of a given projectile. If someone was making their own bullets, you would want that information to calculate your BC, so you can get accurate external ballistics. Wiki has the formula.

    Advice needed.

    I think alot depends on what you're looking to do. I'm thinking bang for the buck here, so it hear me out. If you want to spend the money investing in the rifle you have, you can get a really good rifle but it will cost some money. You could spend possibly a little more money and start with a...

    Range Report Questions about the Shooter app

    I just found out about the sync function this afternoon, thanks a ton for that!! I downloaded the app on my Ipod, so I probably can't do it in real time at the range without Wifi, but I can get it before I go. I read somewhere on here that there was a density altitude function somewhere where I...

    Range Report Questions about the Shooter app

    Ah, ok hoodlum, so they're taking moa at distance into consideration on the calculation. Got it now, it just didn't look right on the chart. What is the easiest way you've found to true this software to your real world results?

    Range Report Questions about the Shooter app

    Hey guys, I downloaded and first started playing around with Shooter this last weekend, and I'm having fun trying to figure a few things out. First, where is the function for entering density altitude? I see the toggle for absolute pressure, but the only area that Grays out is altitude. also...

    Any reason not to go 6.5 creedmoor over .308?

    I have a couple of .308s that I have used for hunting for many years, and for that purpose I love the caliber. With that said, I am currently saving up for a 6.5 cm build, ballistically it is far superior to the .308. The advantages far outweigh any disadvantages you can think of, the most...

    Some questions on a 6.5 CM custom build

    First off 1slow I'm glad this thread helped you out, it sure did me! Honestly I think you can go the route I did even cheaper than that if you go with the manners. I think they're cheaper than the mcrees. 500 for the action, 300-350 for the barrel, and whatever the manners will cost you. Plus...

    Some questions on a 6.5 CM custom build

    I'm not sure if criterion comes threaded,I don't think they do.Jim might do it for you, or you could have it done cheap enough. I wouldn't buy an lrp at this point, as I was quoted 900 min. For the rifle, most of which I'm going to change anyway.
