    Bartlein Barrels Update

    That's a great rare story of success. The problem is you have to find the right people, and that's the daunting task in all of this. A stumbling block that can destroy a business if not carefully and perfectly monitored. People are funny, you can make and sell 100 barrels, 99 of which are...

    ‘Entry level’ chassis

    TIA- A lot of good info here. Not trying to hi-jack the thread, I thought the question would fit here. I'm considering a chassis for a future build, I've never used one. How well do the work with long barreled rifles with heavy contoured barrels in the 28"-30" range? Shooting off bags or...
