    Rifle Scopes TRG, ACT, PMII, need rings

    The rail adapter is throwing me off because it's pretty tall. .827" to the top of the barrel. I know I'm not the only one with this setup so how low can I go with the extra clearance? The lower the better cuz those cheek risers are spendy.

    .260 "replacement" and cases "manufacturing"

    A majority of my 260 brass is stamped 243. Imperial wax, 1 pass in a FL sizer and go. No donuts, no pressure; it's been as reliable as the few pieces of 260 brass I have and longevity has been equal. Just measure em out after they're fireformed, you may have to trim em once to get em uniform...

    Accuracy International AW and AE differences?

    The AW action is permanently bonded to the chassis for rigidity. The double stack mags are a huge improvement also.

    Can anyone ever touch your gun?

    No, I'm taking responsibility for being negligent. It was a lesson learned for me and an experience I wanted to keep anyone else from having. This is an appropriate time to remind people that you cannot let your guard down and ignore safety just because you're not on the firing line. It's just a...

    Can anyone ever touch your gun?

    Just something to keep in mind, fellas, make absolutely certain that your friend is more concerned about safety than you are. A buddy of mine wanted to handle a shotgun that I keep loaded for home invasions. I was broken into and robbed thrice in 2013 so several of my firearms stay loaded. I...

    Short barreled bolt gun, how short can you go?

    Welcome to the hide. I would spend a few weeks combing this forum and the stickies at the top. There's a lot of information on here and you'll find that most of your questions will be answered before you even think of em. As far as your build, don't sweat the length. The trend lately has been...

    Need ear pro for the shop

    Just took a new job. The parts we run are deburred, washed and blown dry by the operator before they hit the Mangill and go out the door. When you hit the bonnets and internal features with the airgun just right, though never intentional, it creates a shrieking whistle that has my left ear still...

    FN SPR actions for sale

    You're right. After I thought about it I deleted the post because its a fair deal when you break it down. It was nothing against the action, just wasn't sure on what they're asking.

    FN SPR actions for sale

    It's nice that they're out there, but the price is too high. After the barrel and smith work, you're not far from the McMillan SPR(can't remember the model). If it were a Remington on the other hand, the match barrel would significantly increase accuracy; but SPRs are such good shooters outta...

    Remington 700 barrels with Savage style barrel nut

    Save your money, don't buy the Bergara. Criterion, Jim@NSS(though I believe he uses Criterion blanks, still GTG either way), McGowan and Pac-Nor. McRee was also selling barrels and nuts, not sure if they still are. A lotta folks on here will give you flack for doing it, but ignore em. Their...

    Accuracy International to end production of AE

    If they can retain the action, integrate some new tech as Frank alluded to, and retain the same price point, maybe shave a couple bucks and a couple pounds, I'd call it a winner. Tom, will you release any further details before shot?

    Accuracy International to end production of AE

    This is interesting and doesn't jive with the idea they'll go PSR across the line. Makes me think they're going in the opposite direction, something just below the AE, maybe more in line with TRG, to further differentiate from the AW and AX. It's no secret the AE has cannibalized sales of the AW...

    Barrel Life Tabulation - Please post if you have first-hand information

    Finally quit on the 260(in sig) at 2,719. It was a Brux 8.5tw, ran 142s at 2880 loaded out to 2.890". H4350, mild load, no pressure signs. I pay no attention to barrel temperature or time between shots. When I'm ready to squeeze off the next one, that's what I do. After each session it got a...
