    New product idea.

    Re: New product idea. I have an idea for a monopod idea that is adjustable, and folds up towards the pistol grip out of the way. it would act kind of like that bag, but be fully adjustable, made of metal, and quickly adjust to different micro-adjustable heights. basically when you used my...

    precision rifles... show em

    Re: precision rifles... show em I'm not in the league of most of these rigs, but i'll share my first ever semi-custom. Consists of a Tikka m695 action thats been trued. 26" fluted #5 Shilen match SS barrel. EGW 20 MOA rail, and Vortex Viper 4-16x50 hs. It still wears the original stock, but...

    New product idea.

    I have an idea for a solid adjustable rear rest that would attach to a sling swivel stud. I'm trying to figure out what steps i need to use to maybe get this idea off the ground. Or if there were members here that would be interested in hearing my idea to possibly help get it off the ground...

    Gunsmithing Stockade Stocks?

    Re: Stockade Stocks? Yeah, $200 is a bit steep to me...seems like he should advertise that on his website. No wonder everyone else goes with Bell and Carlson for anything else. Has anyone used a Boyd stock then? I don't mind the laminate and they can be made to shoot very well. just a thought...

    Gunsmithing Stockade Stocks?

    Re: Stockade Stocks? Ah, i see. Yeah, if it was 375 unfinished, it'd definately be worth it to go with a B&C. About a month or so ago, i'd found a factory original laminated stock for about $120. I really wish i would have bought it, but didn't. and now i can't find one for under...

    Gunsmithing Stockade Stocks?

    Re: Stockade Stocks? I have heard that since they re-tooled a couple years ago, their barrels have gotten alot better. I know they make alot of OEM barrels for some larger manufacturers....i think Savage. Which is typically a very strong condender in accuracy. Plus just to get a barrel...

    Gunsmithing Stockade Stocks?

    Re: Stockade Stocks? Thanks guys. I'm not exactly planning my build around it, but i was gonna say for that cheap, if it was good at all, it'd save me some cash on that so i could put it to optics. I'm going to try to use the stock i've got...the tikka stocks on the m695 aren't as bad as...

    Gunsmithing Stockade Stocks?

    So I finally decided to re-barrel my tikka M695 from a .270 to a .25-06 for my wife(or me...) and i stumbled upon Stockade stocks. Apparently i'm an hour away from his operation....so i was just wondering if he was good. i'm looking for a medium hunting stock/long range stock. I'm looking around...

    165 gr Nosler the best .300 win mag bullet?

    Re: 165 gr Nosler the best .300 win mag bullet? ah, makes sense! thats a ton of velocity for a big bullet. Also, makes sense to just get a .308 for under 180. less recoil and roughly same performance. I really like the 180s ballistics. seems like a very good compromise, and probably could...

    165 gr Nosler the best .300 win mag bullet?

    Re: 165 gr Nosler the best .300 win mag bullet? http://www.shootingtimes.com/ballistics/300_winmag.html This is the table i'm referring too. The 190 and 200 do have alot of energy, BUT they drop a bit more. I was just curious if this was a case similar to the .270 and the 130gr. which...

    165 gr Nosler the best .300 win mag bullet?

    Re: 165 gr Nosler the best .300 win mag bullet? Well thats what i was thinking about the heavier bullets too, but i was looking as to what i'd reload when i get my .300 wm and to me, energy would be energy...and based on that theory, the 180 gr hp and the 165 gr nosler both had the best...

    165 gr Nosler the best .300 win mag bullet?

    Re: 165 gr Nosler the best .300 win mag bullet? ah...missed out on the 180 hp...its about as flat shooting and more energy....makes sense now.

    165 gr Nosler the best .300 win mag bullet?

    So i was just checking out a few ballistic tables of the 300, and it showed the 165 gr. nosler had the greatest energy, velocity, and less drop at 500 yards then any of the other bullets on the list. Seems like everyone shoots the 180. Does it by any chance perform better after 500 then the 165...

    Gunsmithing I HATE plastic

    Re: I HATE plastic I know remington has used some "alloys" of late. Like my 504 Magazine is a "magnesium" based metal, but feels just like plastic. However, it definately is metal. I'd look at hs precision, badger, and i actually think Cabelas makes a clip conversion for about 80 bucks. Not...

    Gunsmithing Fantasy Build....just for fun.

    So, lets say you had a Tikka m695 laying around in .270 win. It's a full rifle with synthetic stock. What would you do if you had about $1500 to play with on the rifle and you wanted to build a true long range HUNTING rifle. Weight has to be at or under 9.5lbs and can have whatever barrel...

    Gunsmithing Please Help! Rebarreling a tikka 695

    Hello all, new member here. I have a very nice Tikka m695 in .270 win with a synthetic stock. I was wondering how hard it would be to rebarrel it to a 300 win mag. I know they're both long actions, but i also know there was a m695 mag. I think i've seen on here before that a member had it...
