    A project I've been working on

    Re: A project I've been working on Here are the pictures so far. I'll have to slot a couple of the holes. I was off on my measurements for them. Overall though, I'm pretty happy so far. It made the rifle feel less bulky. ] The barrel just clears with about 20 thousandths on each...

    A project I've been working on

    I thought I'd share a project I've been working on at our Career Technical Center. I've been running our Haas Mini Mill for a while now and decided to make a new forend for my Mcree's Precision Chassis. I was trying to go for weight savings while maintaining strength and try to program it...

    New to reloading: Die Selection help

    I recently found out the one of my friends has reloading equipment and said that all I need are the dies (and obviously the bullets themselves). I checked Midway and see a multitude of dies there. I'm mainly looking towards RCBS for their quality I've heard about. Which one would you guys...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 5-20 HD Concern

    I just got my SS in today and am really liking it over my BSA. One thing I'm concerned about is that I guess you can unscrew the front objective bell. I noticed this when I was trying to remove the front butler creek cap I was twisting while pulling and noticed that the objective bell was...

    Rifle Scopes Worth Spending?

    I'm currently running a BSA "Cool Guy" scope. The $250 one from Midway with FFP and mil knobs with a mil reticle and says "TACTICAL" sixteen times on the box (I counted and it actually does). While it's tracking fine and holding zero on my 308, I've been looking at the SWFA fixed 10x mil...

    Simple mod to Triad Tactical's Shooting mat

    I got Triad Tactical's shooting mat in today and really like it. One thing that bugged me was the straps flopping around with the mat rolled up. This is a really simple mod that you can do in about 5 minutes and results in not having any loose straps when the mat's rolled up. Sorry about the...

    KRG Ops Bolt Lift Review

    Re: KRG Ops Bolt Lift Review I haven't loctited mine and it hasn't come loose. I'm probably going to loctite mine out of paranoia. Loctite should be ok on brass. I don't see any reason it wouldn't be. I think the threaded part is steel. Looking at the insert, it looks a little golden...

    Where do you guys store your ammo?

    With the recent addition of my Remington 700, I'm running out of space in my small gun "cabinet" where I store both my guns and ammo. For those that store them separately, where do you usually keep it? Also, where do you keep range stuff like ear pro, rear bags, etc.?

    Best Bang For the Buck: 308 Ammo

    What would be the best ammo for the price? I'm going to be shooting my rifle out to 500+ yards paper punching and steel ringing. Southwest Ammo seems to be backlogged quite a bit at the moment and I get paid about $30-$35 a week (I'm a high school student working part time). Also, the local...

    New to Centerfire Bolt Guns: Barrel Break In?

    I know that this has been talked about ad nauseam and I apologize for my ignorance but I'm getting my first centerfire rifle, a Remington 700 AAC-SD and am not sure if I should break in the barrel or not. My Savage Mk II I didn't break in the barrel and it's able to shoot half inch groups at 50...

    Tight mag fit in Mcree chassis?

    I got my Mcree stock in and I'm really liking it. I got it with the FDE cerakote and a 5 round mag. The remington should come in later this week. I noticed that when inserting the magazine, there's a lot more resistance than I thought. I guess the good thing about it is that it won't wobble...

    Savage MKII shaving next round during cycling?

    Re: Savage MKII shaving next round during cycling? I don't have that problem. The front of my 5 round magazines shaves off a hair from one round. I'm not sure which one, but it doesn't affect accuracy, so I'm not worried.

    want to build but not sure`

    Re: want to build but not sure` I don't think so. The locking lugs on the 40X bolt are located in the rear of the ejection port, not the front like the Remington 700.
