    Less concussive muzzlebrake?

    Bumping this one. For the CHAD users, is concussion on par with something like the ACE or pva jet blast or better?

    Stock design and trigger hand placement

    Because: That's how everyone else makes stocks.. Micky made the A5 and we should all copy the grip (sarcasm) Many hunters and people who dont shoot only know what a traditional sporter stock feels like and they think that's how it should be. "Vertical grips are good for prone but i dont shoot...

    Remove Tikka T3X series rifle factory barrel?

    I did the same for the first 3 tikkas i had rebarreled. If you're having a smith chamber a barrel, might as well have them break off the factory one too. Did the last one myself because it was just getting a ctr take off barrel swapped on and it wasn't that bad.

    Custom Action - tikka footprint

    Valid points but it sure seems like a lot of TT primarys and specials have issues as well. The only issue I've ever heard of with tikka triggers is that the single screw that holds them in place loosens up if people take them off and then dont torque them tight enough or use locktite.

    Threading lightweight barrel

    Can you elaborate? Too small to go without adding a shoulder yes but that's why i said i'd have a shoulder added. 0.630" is slightly larger than 5/8 major thread diameter. The picture in my post you quoted seems to have a barrel diameter very close to thread major diameter.

    Threading lightweight barrel

    It is the answer to lightweight barrels if a guy wants larger than 5/8 threads! To think, i used to consider elaborate fluting or a barrel cut down to nothing only to wrap some decorative carbon and glue around it at $200-$400 premium just to get lightweight with diameter for muzzle threads...

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    All this talk of spare triggers.. I thought m700 platform triggers were reliable?

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    They make a steel one that’s lighter than the ti one it seems? Why would anyone want the ti one in that case?

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    30.6 ounces still. They could have cut more out of the darn thing. I think a LP fuzion alpine port is 28.5 ounces so a couple ounces less and seemed like a little less aggressive cut. I'd still happily accept one as a gift! Hard to pay considerably more than a tikka donor these days though.

    Help me out on a Ruger American Gen2 Build

    Good choice sir. Bravo is a great practical shooting stock. Just trades off some benefits for being good for shooting vs good for carrying compared to a traditional sporter stock.

    Heavy Sporter Barrel in Sendero Barrel Channel

    Sporter steel barrels (not heavy sporter even) in a big assed barrel channel is kind of my default setup now. Why does it matter if there is a gap? It's funny world out there. All kinds of people buying chassis because they think they look cool. many result in large gaps in barrel channel...

    Daughters first deer rifle

    6.5 creed would make most sense of the choices in OP. 6 Creed, 243, or 6 ARC would be more better though.
