    Thoughts on pricing used custom rifles?

    Thanks for all the great advice. I definitely picked up some good information and I appreciate it. The rifle is a GA Precision Crusader in 6.5 cm where the only thing I really spec'd out was having the barrel at 20" and fitted with the muzzle device for an SDN-6. The overwhelming majority of...

    Thoughts on pricing used custom rifles?

    I'm trying to get my head around pricing a used custom rifle. I've bought and sold plenty of guns before, but never a custom rifle. Part of me wonders if it's even worth going through the process of selling something custom as a whole, or if there's some way to part it out. I just don't know...

    GA precision

    When I bought my first truely custom rifle I had the same question about whether or not it was "worth it". For me, the accuracy guarentee says a lot. The other thing is that while there are plenty of other custom shops out there, the name is absolutely worth something. Maybe it's because it...

    Yeah, I got ahold of KRG and they were very fast at responding to my questions. Basically, I just needed to make one small adjustment on a screw for mag well after removing the barreled action. It was genius and frustrating at the same time seeing how the chasis was designed. I've had much...

    They're both good patterns of mags. I came across this stock lightly used for sale and was originally going to go with the CTR mag version, either will work..... or should anyway.

    I should also mention I looked at the KRG instructions and they said to remove a spring clip for the tikkas and unless I'm blind, I don't have one of those.

    So today was supposed to be a happy day with my CTR putting it in a KRG Bravo and then swapping out the APA brake for an EC tuner brake, then hitting the range. I got the KRG Bravo that works with AICS mags on there, and life has taught me to test cycle some rounds before considering the job...

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    Exactly. I don't know much about a TBAC or DeadAir though. I have an SDN-6, that'll find a home on it eventually too.

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    Awesome that this topic got brought back to life. Since I'd originally posted I've bought a Tikka T3X CTR in 308 that is showing great potential. I'm waiting to see if anything new and exciting gets released at Shot Show in the next week, and then more than likely I'll put the rifle in a KRG...

    I've got a CTR in 308 that I bought for a competition gun when I have to play secondary shooter in 223 or 308. I plan to put it in a KRG Bravo for those competitions, but I also like the idea of the KRG Bravo because I can set it up for use with night vision for coyotes. Has anyone here set...

    Need help setting my CTR for night vision varmint hunting

    I've talked with one guy about Thermals and he didn't sound all that confident in their ability at a distance. I'd also like to ideally see through a scope that I'm used to. As far as budget goes, I don't need the absolute best, but I'd set the budget at what it takes to do it right.

    Need help setting my CTR for night vision varmint hunting

    Hello, I've got a CTR in 308 that I'm pretty happy with. I'm not in love with the factory stock, and I've been looking at replacing it. One of the options I've been looking at is the KRG Bravo and while looking at it and sorting through all the options for accessories I stumbled across the...

    Lightweight vs Heavy/PRS Rifle Set-up for Mammoth?

    Mammoth is definitely a motivator for weight loss. As much as I look at the gear side of things, it's more important to be in better shape and to be honest with yourself about where you're at. My first mammoth I saw guys humping 80# rucks with chest rigs and then their rifle. Some of these...

    Lightweight vs Heavy/PRS Rifle Set-up for Mammoth?

    Getting back on rifle and ammo weight, here's a few things to consider. Even the magazines you chose will have an impact, especially since everyone likely takes two mags per gun. For us, we'll likely each take 100 rounds of rifle and 100 rounds of pistol this year.

    Lightweight vs Heavy/PRS Rifle Set-up for Mammoth?

    Not trying to derail the conversation, but food budget effects what you're willing to haul around for rifle and ammo weights. Here's some photo's that may help people in their planning. Next year, I plan to take more of the protein powder individual packets too.

    Lightweight vs Heavy/PRS Rifle Set-up for Mammoth?

    100% agree with this. First time I did Mammoth, I ran too low on calories. Second time, I had the right amount. Normally, when I go on wilderness trips for a week or so I end up actually eating less than I plan on for a day. Why the difference for mammoth? When I go backpacking, I can...

    Lightweight vs Heavy/PRS Rifle Set-up for Mammoth?

    I don't know how I missed that in #17, thanks! That's worth a pound for sure. If I were to compare getting a spare mag or two for the CTR, it almost makes up the difference of buying a KRG Bravo and using the AICS mags that are already on the shelf.

    Lightweight vs Heavy/PRS Rifle Set-up for Mammoth?

    That's exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to see here. I don't haul around a tripod for Mammoth so I'd be looking at the KRG Bravo for my CTR without the full length rail and arca spigot. Adding 1.75# would be too much for what I'm after this upcoming year, but if taking those two things...

    Lightweight vs Heavy/PRS Rifle Set-up for Mammoth?

    It happens to everyone. I've yet to see a team that didn't blow a stage somehow. Last year on our first stage my partner got the nervous jitters so bad that he ran through his pistol mag, reloaded and ran through a second mag, then I handed him the leftover mag I had, then I started digging...
