    Eliseo Tube Gun Action - Pierce or Defiance? Need advice.

    I'm in the same boat and appreciate much of the finer detail here. I have been window shopping so some details are fuzzy. My plan is for a 338LM. I think that is the RTM chassis. So, for example, what extractor does Pierce use? Defiance uses an M16. Does it matter functionally? Pierce...

    Fact or Fiction about Custom Rifle Accuracy?

    kraigWY- I did look at some scores posted on-line but assumed most of those were achieved after considerable gun tuning, not to mention load development. jedi- I would be the first to admit I will be the limiting factor for a while. milo- That is what is was looking to learn. I'm well...

    Fact or Fiction about Custom Rifle Accuracy?

    I am still in the planning phase of a project to build a rifle for 1000+. (To be fair to myself I will not start my project until mid-next year so I can learn as much as possible and make as few mistakes in this first build as possible.) In all of my reading here, other precision shooting...

    Suppressors 30P-1: Multiple Guns

    I'm in the same decision mode and thought the 30P-1 would work but my .223 has 1/2-28 thread and my .308 is yet to be threaded. Are you using an adaptor for the .223 to bring it up to a 5/8-28 thread?

    Suppressors Advice on brake threading....

    I'm getting to the point where I may just pay a local smith to strip the barrel and remount it when it comes back. Just wish doing things the right way wasn't so darn painful.

    Suppressors Advice on brake threading....

    I hope I did not miss the obvious but I have been unable to find a discussion about barrel threading for brake mounted QD of suppressors. I will be purchasing, and waiting, for a suppressor (probably a TBAC 30BA for use with a .223 and a .308) within the week (waiting on trust) and have two...

    Gunsmithing So what's the difference, custom or mass produced?

    Re: So what's the difference, custom or mass produced? Thanks for the comments. I'm an engineer by trade and do not find the "build" process all that intimidating. (And to your point understand what I will build will almost certainly exceed my skills.) Part of my original question, and I...

    Gunsmithing So what's the difference, custom or mass produced?

    Re: So what's the difference, custom or mass produced? So far everyone is supporting my first impression, go custom. I'm going to continue to pick and choose, learn and understand so I can start on the project early next year. Thanks for the reinforcement!

    Gunsmithing So what's the difference, custom or mass produced?

    So I'm thinking about a long term project, a bolt action gun for long/longer range target. Read and compare has been the way I am learning. So, for example, Case A, buy a Sako TRG-42. By all accounts it is a reasonably accurate rifle that for all purposes is a mass produced rifle. Without...

    Bipod Opinions

    Re: Bipod Opinions TKS for the links. Read those and others before posting. Let me focus a little more. Harris will get me by. Atlas seems like it has good reviews and is near a price point I could live with. But, I'm struggling with the difference between it and the Sinclair tactical...

    Bipod Opinions

    I currently have an AR-15 but will one day also have a long range gun. I hate buying twice so I need some first hand experience of others. What bipod? Harris, Atlas, etc. I'm not looking for an F-class set-up at this time. On a related note I see Sinclair has a new tactical bipod that looks...

    Re: Help Wanted: What's available 2-10 FFP under $1000 I have the scope in hand, delievered promptly at a fair price. Since the mount is coming from another location I can only hand hold it for now. Quick observation about illumination. In several posts authors made note that they felt the...

    Rifle Scopes Help Wanted: What's available 2-10 FFP under $1000

    Re: Help Wanted: What's available 2-10 FFP under $1000 Local shop had a SFP 4-16x50 PST MOA. I think I'm in love! But I also think I may cheat and go for the FFP MRAD.....

    Rifle Scopes Help Wanted: What's available 2-10 FFP under $1000

    Re: Help Wanted: What's available 2-10 FFP under $1000 Tks for all the inputs. I just wish Vortex had a FFP in the 2.5-10x44! So tomorrow I'm off the the local shop to see if they have the PST in 4-16x50. May be a little too large, then I may be back to looking at SFP scopes.
