    My 6mmBR project is almost finished......

    Re: My 6mmBR project is almost finished...... Dont know how well it will work out of a 18" barrel, my gunsmith advised it would have less muzzle blast and about the same velocity as a 243 so i went for it. The velociry loss between 18" & 20" on a 243 is 50-60 fps based on load data i have...

    Re: FN PBR Nice looking stick Lazy21. I am in the middle of 3 Mod 70 builds, 2 of which will have the CDI DBM's. I have 3 Remmys and 4 Winnys and they are both nice to shoot. As for the nitty gritty differences i dont care either way. Get the one that feels the best for you.

    Your thinking for .223 barrel lenght please

    Re: Your thinking for .223 barrel lenght please Marc, I picked up a secondhand Rem VS in 223 and had it cut down to 18". Its the factory twist heavy barrel. I have just started load development so i can commend too much on the loss of accuracy but there is only a small velocity loss.

    Building a Long-Range/Tactical rifle.

    Re: Building a Long-Range/Tactical rifle. Remoah, There are 2 ways to do it, on the cheap or with a few grand. If you want a cheaper starter rifle buy a omark, you will be surprised at how well they shoot. If you want a better round than a 308 get it rechambered in 284win and shoot away...

    Re: 700P vs. 700SPS I have a LTR & SPS-V and they are both very accurate and both have rifle basix triggers. I was surprised at how much better the SPS-V trigger was compared to the LTR but none of them compare to a rifle basix.
