    It will be a while my barrel is off for salt bath nitrating. Once the rifle is together I'm gonna set something up for my load development.

    DIY Mirage Shield

    I am going to try it. My idea was rare earth magnets. recess a few into the stock than paint over them. Glue another magnet or piece of metal to the shield. Than it can be quick detach/not get glue residue on barrel. A guy could use epoxy to set the magnets and sand it flush. This of course...

    Gunsmithing OK what did I lose???? 700 trigger

    Why not buy a timney for 100 bucks and move on with your life. You have already ate up more than 100 bucks worth of time at this point. And even if you get it fixed will you ever trust it again?

    Cool Idea for temp target stand

    Not necessarily for steel but for other stuff. every October my inlaws have a "harvest Party" at the farm. I bring out my .338 and 12 gauge and all the tannerite I have stocked up through out the year and blow the hell out of stuff. It's a big high point of the year and people look forward to it...

    DIY Mirage Shield

    Why not attach it to the stock so it doesn't make actual contact with the barrel so as to not throw of the barrel harmonics? Or have you noticed it doesn't matter?

    Night snipin bubble level.

    A little black nail polish so it is only visible to the shooter would also be a cool add on.

    $30 Home Depot folding sawhorse

    I agree. I spent way to much money on tow chains only to shoot it off with my .300 win. It seems when ever I missed it was ALWAYS high and at 9 or 3 oclock right through the chain. Pro tip don't expect even high end chain to be bullet proof.

    Home made scope leveling jig....

    If a guy really wanted to be OCD he would use a surface plate and machinist level to get the scope within .001 or so. But I doubt it would be worth the effort. I love the cheapo counter top it makes for an awesome surface for re-loading.

    Gunsmithing Thinking about Losing the Fixture and Just using the 4 Jaw

    I just bought a heavy ten that came with a six jaw and didnt think I could make a fixture without extending out it so far. Killswitch I need to link up with you and scott next time you do a barrel to learn. I just bought a new house so it's a few months till I get the lather up and running.

    Gunsmithing Bedding Compounds? Devcon still the standard?

    The Devcon is super easy for a DIY type. Also Pam cooking spray or Hornady on shit makes a great release agent.

    Gunsmithing So I put a PTG DBM bottom metal in my factory Hogue stock.....why you ask?

    SWFA and Weaver rings, a man after my own "Budget build" heart. Those SWFA SS scopes are excellent for the money. I actually like the houge stocks again for the price for a simple install. I think spending over 1500 bucks on a .308 (not including optics) is un-necassary unless it is legitimately...
