    Best Budget Tactical Bolt-Action Platform?

    Re: Best Budget Tactical Bolt-Action Platform? I say go with the cheap stevens or savage action and build up from there. Choate has a nice reasonbly priced tactical stock and you can find good deals on prefit barrels if you look around. And 223 is a good cheap start to get into shooting its...

    jp adjustable gas block

    Re: jp adjustable gas block Yeah I agree the smaller groups probably has more to do with the rifle running smoother it just seems alot easier to shoot if that makes sense. I have also done more load development today and was able to up the charge a grain and a half more then what I was able...
