    Gunsmithing Bighorn TL3 Stiff Bolt Close

    I have a BnA regular, not the pro model, on an Origin and love it. I'd wait as well. Also when I tried a few different triggers I called to order cocking pieces to fit to each trigger to give a true heads up test. I forgot who I talked to at Bighorn but he knew what size cocking piece fit...

    Tikka T3X with upgrades vs MPA PMR

    I guess my thinking was a little different as far a aftermarket support. If you buy the MPA then decide what ever slick new action comes out looks like what you want you can have it barreled up and put in that chassis. I feel like the 700 platform is just more standardized ( not completely...

    Tikka T3X with upgrades vs MPA PMR

    I would go with he PMR. Nothing bad to say against the Tikka for sure, but as much aftermarket as the Tikka has, it is tiny in comparison to the Remington 700 clone market. And given the option I would go with the 26 inch barrel for most calibers. From a handling stand point you likely...

    Bolt Action Mags- How many?

    For my comp gun I have 3 MDT 10 round 223 mags for the .223 barrel, and 2 10 round MDT metal, a MDT 12 round, and a accurate 10 round with a area 419 base pad (14 total, but really long and limits usage) for all the.other short action caliber I could potentially shoot. I think 3 for every set...

    $1000 6.5 CM Hunting Rifle? (Tikka T3X CTR 20" in bound)

    Lots of great options with that price range. Lots of the Howa rifles, Tikka CTR, and the Bergara HMR are the ones that come to mind quickly. All should be easily sub MOA and light enough to hunt with.

    Timney 2 stage trigger

    I wasn't thrilled with my 2 stage timney Calvin elite. It had a lot of creep on the second stage. There are much better options in my opinion. I switched to a Bix n'Andy tacsport, it is night and day different and better. I even like the factory trigger on my Howa better than the timney I...

    KRG Blem Sale

    I wouldn't hesitate to purchase more blem parts from KRG. My blem x-ray chassis came in and I can't find anything that is blemished about it.

    Elf 700 Trigger

    Precision rifle network just put out a review today on them. It's hard to get much about a trigger on a video but he did say it was nice and drop safe.

    Budget Hunting Binos

    This is the nicest QD tripod mount I've tried, especially for the price. The stud mounts to the binoculars and don't add anything to the overall size. Then the stud slides in the mount and you push down to lock. There is also a thumb wheel on top to more securely lock it...

    Budget Hunting Binos

    I've been running a set of 10x50 intensity's for about half a year. I don't have much experience with higher end binoculars but these have performed great so far. I also know that inside a store isn't a good place to compare glass but these were noticably better than anything else they had in...

    Suppressors Form 1, building a precision rifle suppressor

    It seems the cores would be where an issue would be from a precision standpoint. I can see where a stack of baffles with spacers that are all heating and therefore expanding at different rates is less than ideal. If I did the initial build and am not happy with the way it functions I can have...

    Suppressors Form 1, building a precision rifle suppressor

    That's what I was thinking but not totally sure. I would kind of like to build it but don't want to put in a ton of money to have a crap outcome. I do like doing as much stuff as possible for myself. There are companies that have pre threaded tubing and baffle kits that aren't drilled yet...

    Suppressors Form 1, building a precision rifle suppressor

    I'm interested in building a suppressor on a form 1. Anyone have any experience building a suppressor for a precision rifle? Seems most info is for rimfire, pistol, or ar15 setups where accuracy isn't too high up the list of importance. Is it reasonable to think that a accurate can could be...

    223 in a BH Origin??

    I have an origin that I've been running in 223 with MDT mags. I've noticed that if I use factory ammo that is standard length the follower will occasionally nose dive. With my hand loads ( that are 2.450 long) the issue is much better but I have notice will happen occasionally if I run the...

    Recommendation for ARCA tripod head

    I've had pretty good luck so far with this ball head: Db-44 44mm Tripod Ball Head... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TQ54CZO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share It moves smoothly and locks down right. I feel it's a pretty good value. It out of stock right now but seems to go in and out frequently.

    What aftermarket Rem700 trigger has proven most durable?

    Bix n' Andy tac sport seems to get really good reviews from a reliability standpoint. I just ordered one so hopefully soon I can give some more info.

    Looking for feedback on your folding stock/chassis

    I just got a XLR folding adapter to go on my XLR envy chassis. The folding adapter seems well thought out and well built. It locks up tight and folded detent is reasonably secure. My only negative is I wish the button was recessed. Doing some dryfire practice moving around with it, it seems...
