    Build my F-T/R rifle & Loading System

    I'm getting into F-T/R, and I want to get a dedicated rifle built. I've had other customs built before, but never a dedicated F-Class rifle. I've been asking around and talking to some of the shooters at the matches on Sundays for their input. I...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex strike eagle 5-25 ffp

    Thanks. Glad I'm not THAT rusty! Still haven't wrapped my head around why you lose so much elevation with the zero stop, but 18 mils should be more than enough to get out to whatever range the likely user of this scope would be shooting at. Can you clarify your last sentence though? If I...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex strike eagle 5-25 ffp

    I;ve been on the sidelines and not shooting at all for a couple years, so I may have this backwards, but when you have a 20 MOA (or whatever) canted rail, doesn't it effectively make you zero the scope in the lower end of it's adjustment range (at least lower than mechanical zero)? Thus giving...

    Where to get bolt and/or entire action DLC done?

    Thinking about getting a bolt DLC coated and/or possibly the entire action done. Guys that have had this done, who did you use? What is your opinion on the results? How long did it take?

    Suppressors and shorter barrels...

    Great information. I was just looking into a 20" 6.5 Creedmoor for hunting. Would run suppressed. Had never considered pressure issues.

    The lower and upper was made by Hogan. GAP manufactured the rifle.

    Vegas/Jason Aldean Concert Shooting

    Just heard the Isis claim too on Infowars. He probably got it from RT though, and he's not known for fact checking. Interested to see how this plays out. Very disturbing. Damn that was a long shot!

    Hey...that rifle looks familiar! I sold one that looked exactly like that (except it had PRS stock) to a guy in Alabama. One of my most regretful sales.

    Help me transform my LRI Mausingfield from a PRS into Hunting rifle w/o losing my shirt

    Sheldon and Sandwarrior - Yall both make a good point. I plan on shooting in a match the 2nd weekend of Oct, and will likely be able to shoot in a 2nd one before work would begin on the new build. I've tried a variety of actions, stocks, scopes, etc. Enough to think I know what I like at...

    Help me transform my LRI Mausingfield from a PRS into Hunting rifle w/o losing my shirt

    I don't need any of it. TX whitetail at no more than 200 yards is mainly what I would hunt. A $400 Ruger American rifle/scope combo .243win would be plenty. I wouldn't have much fun with it though. Transforming the Mausingfield wasn't much more than a thought, with zero true consideration...

    Help me transform my LRI Mausingfield from a PRS into Hunting rifle w/o losing my shirt

    Fair questions. First, you have to keep in mind this thread is a spinoff of another thread I started Link to "Weigh in on my future build", seeking feedback on a build I want to do. Part of that plan was to sell the Mausingfield. Many responses questioned why I would get rid of one rifle to...

    Help me transform my LRI Mausingfield from a PRS into Hunting rifle w/o losing my shirt

    The fiscally responsible option would've been to stick with golf! Would've been cheaper to join the local exclusive country club than this sport!!!

    Weigh in on my future build

    Good point. I didn't think about the balance point of the rifle being right there. Makes sense.

    Help me transform my LRI Mausingfield from a PRS into Hunting rifle w/o losing my shirt

    Or just sell the entire rifle and don't break it down. Hopefully LongRifles, Inc. will weigh in on this. It's all predicated on the precision of this custom stock inlet combined with the unrealistically tight tolerances of American Rifle Co's Mausingfield production. Chad uses the CAD specs...

    Help me transform my LRI Mausingfield from a PRS into Hunting rifle w/o losing my shirt

    Chad built me a bad-ass PRS rifle on a Mausingfield, in a Manners T5A Carbon Elite blank that has the LRI custom inletting job with all bells and whistles. I have more invested in this stock than you have in your kid's college fund. The barrel is from Chad's guy and it uses Chad's preferred...

    Weigh in on my future build

    Had a chance to speak with Omar Alonzo today. Asked him about the Curtis Axiom, and turns out he's been building quite a few rifles on it, and (if I remember correctly) is running one himself. He really likes the action and knows Chase (I've said that guys name a few times like I know him, and...

    Ruger American 1 mile shot with factory Hornady 6.5CM and Athlon Optic

    That's pretty cool! Been thinking about getting one of these to dick around with in 6.5 Creed. The 300 BLK and 6 Creed would make a good youth hunting rifle. Been waiting for somebody (besides Boyd) to come out with an aftermarket stock or chassis.

    Weigh in on my future build

    I appreciate your candor. I agree on the fluting. It may not be dumb, per se, but it doesn't serve the purpose most think it does. I have a Mausingfield. I like it. I want a 60* action. I don't think I'm in a position to have both. Could you please elaborate on the dumbness of ditching a...
