    Show me your McMillan’s

    Don't see a lot of McHale's. Here's my single shot Bighorn TL2 in 284 Win.

    Cadex Defence, flaunt it if you've got it!

    Does anyone know of an action with savage threads that would work in the 3.850" Long Action Competition model? I've got a 300 PRC barrel on the way, and I really want to try a Cadex, but I've already confirmed Bighorn actions won't work.

    Pre war 70 22 hornet

    Basically I often make poor life choices. I bought the rifle with the mismatched bolt and a buggered barrel cheap enough that I could afford to put some money into it. I've done a lot of Richards Microfit stocks, so that's where I ordered from and finished it myself. It didn't have any...

    Pre war 70 22 hornet

    I went with a .224" 1-12" barrel. More reloading options this way.

    Pre war 70 22 hornet

    Replacement. Was a sporter with mis-matched bolt and buggered barrel.

    Pre war 70 22 hornet

    This thread reminds me I need to get back to load development for my Win 54 Target 22 K-Hornet that I built.

    Gunsmithing Post bedding cleanup question.

    Just got bedding a couple of stocks and things turned out great. I used Kiwi shoe wax as a release agent and some modeling clay to fill any holes. My questions now is how do I get all this damn Kiwi wax off my action? Hoppes #9 didn't touch it, rubbing alcohol didn't do it either. What...

    Buy cans in pairs, Nomad 30

    Well I just put a Nomad L in jail. I'll likely build a 300 Win Mag for shooting from a bench, and I figured the extra volume and an E-brake would cut the recoil down quite a bit.

    Remington 700 Long Range

    Looks promising if the barrels are made from their new steel. I might have to get one.

    Mack Bro’s SS Evo

    Gotta say I really like this action. I always wanted a 40x in 222 Rem Mag, but they always seemed to elude me, so I made my own. Evo II action in 223, Wyatts long 223 box, HS Precision take off stock, Pac-nor prefit 222 Rem Mag 12 Twist. Haven't had it to the range yet but can't keep my hands...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    Took awhile, but it's together and a lot of fun to shoot. Bell and Carlson Stock, Zermatt from Northlands. Barrel was a bit of a hassle. Ordered a Lothar Walther from Optics Planet and they kept sending me updates that my order was postponed. After 3 months, I canceled through them and...

    Winchester M70

    Whoops, I managed to win an auction with a low ball offer so I guess I'm the owner of another Model 70 308 with a heavy barrel. It's a 1986 model short action, aftermarket barrel, and a 3 position stock. I don't know if I want to pick up a marksman style stock, or maybe a standard stock and...

    M5 Long Action Bottom Metal Identification?

    Can anyone tell me who made this bottom metal? I got it in a trade.

    Remington 700 Long Range

    Very interesting. I had one of the Remington Long Range models that was sold through Cabelas, as stated in post #8. However, post #7 implies a new model, most notably with a HS stock instead of the Bell and Carlson M40. If it is a new model with the new barrel steel, I'll buy one in a...

    Blending/fitting barrel stock channel (Tool??)

    I don't have a mill, but I do have a router table. I chuck up a 3/4" or 7/8" cove bit and send my stocks through. This has given me the best looking, most consistent channels. THAT SAID, I've also been known to go to town with something like this. Sanding Drums

    Anyone shoot smallbore 3 position?

    It's been decades, but I sure used to. I'm not sure my back would agree with me if I tried it these days.

    Model 70 Winchester Bull Gun

    I don't want to see "a" snipers match, I want to see "the" snipers match. Snipers Match being a rifle model such as Target or Bull. It seems like most Snipers Match rifles were model 54's before they had the Bull model. Target rifles had the medium heavy barrels at 24", Snipers Match had an...

    Model 70 Winchester Bull Gun

    I'd be really interested in seeing a snipers match rifle. I'd also be interested in knowing the barrel dimensions.

    Rifles you have, but don't like.

    Oh man, I've got a safe dedicated to hand-me-down rifles from grand parents and uncles. They're mostly no-name junk shotguns, but they held sentimental value to their owners, and they knew I would take care of them.

    Looking at building a 25 creedmoor

    If Sierra could come up with a 130-135gr Tipped Matchking, and make them consistently available, they'd be making this cartridge a winner.
