    Small Rifle Primed Lapua .308

    I am wondering if anyone has really pushed the new small rifle primed Lapua .308 cases yet? I typically shoot 45gr of Varget with 168 SMKs in my TRG-22 and I'm not showing bad pressure signs, but the primer pockets tend to be loosening more than I would like. The idea behind this case is it...

    Gunsmithing AIAW, How to change bolt knob?

    Re: AIAW, How to change bolt knob? Like Mendocino said they are glued with something, so you MAY ruin the factory knobs threads getting it off. Just scrape off any glue that remains on the threads of the bolt handle. As far as aftermarket knobs, I have NEVER understood paying $60+ for...

    AI bolt pics

    Re: AI bolt pics Wow, learn something new every day. I never realized that those red "dots" were overpressure blowout plugs. THAT is attention to detail at its finest. Hey Rolex, where here in Indiana are you? IM me if you would.

    Gunsmithing Add Flush Cups to a Sako TRG 22?

    Re: Add Flush Cups to a Sako TRG 22? If you want to add flush cups to the front instead of using the Euro rail setup it shouldn't be too hard given that there is the aluminum chassis set up underneath. Just drill and tap the aluminum forend channel and space the flush cup out far enough that...

    What is a good 308 ammo to use for Long Range shoo

    Re: What is a good 308 ammo to use for Long Range shoo If you aren't interested in reloading (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and you are looking for something that a local gunstore MIGHT have in stock then 175 Black Hills shoots very well too. Given that your 700 is a varmint and has a slower twist, see...

    Sako TRG trigger for 700?

    Re: Sako TRG trigger for 700? If you are looking for something that has an adjustable trigger shoe like the TRG (adjustable fore, aft, and side to side) then the "Timney Tactical" is one of the few I know of. It is a single stage trigger though. There are also a couple of different mods that...

    TRG-22 Magazines

    Re: TRG-22 Magazines People say that AI mags fit and feed just fine, though they wobble quite a bit. I haven't tried so I couldn't say. If you get a chance call ACME Sports in Seymour, IN. They are a Class III dealer, etc. and typically have them in stock. The last one he sold me was well...

    Any short barrel TRG-22s out there?

    Re: Any short barrel TRG-22s out there? hehe thanks Terje. Its pouring down outside where I am right now so it looks like the "Banana" is going to be muddy as hell for the next couple of days. I am interested in one of your thumbwheel cheek risers and safety extension. If you have any left...

    Any short barrel TRG-22s out there?

    Re: Any short barrel TRG-22s out there? Please tell me that a suppressor is known as a bananna or is at least called a bananna in slang (i.e. "can" here) in Norway lol. That would be awesome. I haven't laughed at a translation like that in years lol. Thanks Terje.

    Gunsmithing Cutting a heavy barrel for a Vortex?

    Hey guys, I have a Tikka T3 stainless varmint in .223 that is longer than I would like (23" 5/8ths I think) I would like it to be between 18" and 20". How much should it affect the stability of an 80gr. Sierra Matchking or 75gr Amax, my preferred loads right now. Also, when I cut it I plan on...

    Gunsmithing Removing Tikka Bolt Handle?

    Could someone tell me how to remove the dovetailed section of the Tikka T3's bolt handle, I plan on making a new one and threading it to accept some different bolt handles that I am going to make up. I am supposed to pick the gun up tonight, but in looking at them previously, it seems the...

    Range Report 7mm WSM vs. 6.5x284

    I am kind of interested in these little hot rods and I was wondering what experiences good or bad everyone here has had? Rifle would probably be built by G.A. Precision or the like and would be used for some of the tactical competitions or REALLY long range coyote hunting. Any words of wisdom...
