    Growing up from .22LR rifles and into my first .308. Rem 700 XLR carbon

    i just use new/used airsoft bodies that i just gut out and bed the action/barrel of any .22 long rifle. i prefer to buy broken ones but they typically range from $100-$200 each. the more uncommon ones like the Cheytac and Barrett are more expensive where i have to buy them new ranging $250-450...

    Growing up from .22LR rifles and into my first .308. Rem 700 XLR carbon

    I just bought a mini mill and tooling so I can't invest into a quality reloading kit right now. Would it be better to get a basic kit to start learning to reload now or just save up and wait? Do you ever worry about kaboom's with your reloads?

    Growing up from .22LR rifles and into my first .308. Rem 700 XLR carbon

    Thanks I just bought some PMC ammo 150gr for $20.99 at my LGS and thought that was expensive. Kinda makes me want to look into investing in a reloading kit. I only shoot twice a month. How many rounds do you typically shoot a day of .308? We have local matches here (www.CaPRC.com) so...

    Growing up from .22LR rifles and into my first .308. Rem 700 XLR carbon

    Top one is a .22LR Savage MKII F I dont have 10k-14k to buy the real ones so I just made some clones out of a 10/22 and Marlin XT22. Theyre just fun conversion projects I enjoy building in my garage. I built these for my 4 year old.

    Gunsmithing Designing a rifle chassis for Savage MKII

    I didn't have room for a full size mill. It's doable. This butt stock can be broken into 2 components and just bolt on after i tap a few holes The whole rifle chassis I had in mind would be 4-5 different components all bolting onto each other. I have zero experience in milling. I...

    Gunsmithing Designing a rifle chassis for Savage MKII

    I got my tooling for my LMS mini mill and I'm starting to draft up some sketches for the skeleton butt stock. My workbench is arriving next week so I'll be starting to cut some chips by then. The style that I'm going for is the futuristic XLR/KRG style chassis. So it's different types of...
