    Gunsmithing Truing an action with a factory barrel, not worth it?

    my vote is leave 308 alone its a solid shooter/trainer. build a clone to it. me personally id save my money till I could swing a deviant since the surgeons are unavailable till they catch up production. and drop it in another a5 so ergonomics are same same same. train with the 308 and bring out...

    Perfect Rifle For PRS

    I will say that I cannot recall seeing someone top off a mag STILL IN THE GUN while on the clock during a stage. I HAVE seen Single feeding to finish a stage or your standard mag change to a fresh/full mag. I think the big thing with the aw's is the same thing that gives some people...

    Perfect Rifle For PRS

    Surgeon Scalpel spec'd in a A5's have been Purdy consistent choice at the top of the pile. that GAP bravo 6 is all business as well. I got a feeling you will be seeing ALOT of the new Vortex 27x's. turbo54 hit the nail on the head 6mm cost of operation in the grand scheme of things vs...

    First time at 1000yards. Tell me what you think is the problem.

    wind, wind vs. terrain features, factory ammo not hand loads tuned to the gun. you were prob doing a fine job running the rifle the factors mentioned were just givin ya the business. it gets a lil squirrely out there sometimes. the good news is your platform is about as good as it gets to...

    Gunsmithing Sanity check, please: .223 bolt gun build

    Just a thought, there are some awesome 223 ackley trainers that show up in for sale forum on a fairly regular basis. Ready to roll sometimes with dies/components. I bet you would find a rifle b4 your build would get done. 223 ai is an awesome cartridge for multiple applications.

    hillbilly annealer

    made this double burner setup outa some junk in the shop. works fairly well and cut my time in half. I use tempilaq for my setup and it doesn't take long "1,2,3 count " and done. works well but since its fast you need a solid count and pay attention the temp spec comes on Purdy quick, anyway...
