    Got it. Is there a formula that accurately expresses velocity if you increased your barrel length at its original configuration? My current obsession with velocity is probably negligible after watching a video with low light shooting 1k with an 18", but I want to retain enough energy at...

    Hello from Memphis

    Thank you. I live in Oakleigh in Germantown. I will have to look them up as I really would like to get some formal training. I have access to about 1200 acres in como, MS if you are interested in shooting a bit. 800 yds is about the max open lane with a good backstop, but with some work I...

    Hello from Memphis

    Like most things, I have done a portion of this bassackwards and already posted elsewhere. Greetings from Memphis, TN. I hope this finds you all well and I get to absorb some of the mass of knowledge that is present here, and potentially/hopefully contribute in a meaningful way. If anyone is...

    I have been reloading for rifle calibers for some time ~7 years. I would say I am new to precision rifles, but not rifle shooting, in general. I have used various factory rifles for targets, etc. and am confidently deer lethal to 400yds with my 308. I am lethal beyond that, but not ethically...

    This has been my thought process. I have been second guessing based off of info here. I would like to see that rifle!

    Given the input I have gotten here, I most likely will be cutting down to 24". What I am on the fence about is losing the ability to get a bit more velocity with lower pressure and less wear and tear, but my gains will probably be marginal which is why I will probably heed the advice I am...

    I would like to thank everyone for the information, and I am probably going to cut the barrel down to 24" The profile I am stuck with, as I already bought the blank and patience is not a particularly powerful virtue of mine.

    Found their marketing. I may just pull the trigger on the McRee. I am going to Cerakote the rifle in Mcmillan tan. Might look good/be durable in an olive chassis. Also will fit my part of the worlds colors in hunting.

    The ax aics looks nice, and it seems you could get the bipod out farther.

    Thank you for the link! How do you like your CM? I have shot a buddies savage in 6.5 and was really impressed. It seemed to be a really good mix of performance/maintenance.

    I am a pretty big guy so I don't think the weight will bother me. The balance might be a bit goofy.

    I am thinking I should have probably gone lighter. Bartlein contour data has the heavy varmint at 7.45#, which is 2 to 3 pounds heavier than the others....

    I have not seen either of these. My knowledge was limited to the basic ones, AI, Mcree, Mcmillan, etc.. I just found Eberlstock has one, but holy $$$$ batman!

    Are these stable in rapid 10 shot strings?

    I am a performance guy so looks don't bother me. I priced out the manners as I would want it and I am definitely north of 1k, which I wanted to avoid, but would cross for something that was in orders of magnitude better when compared to something like the McRee.
