    AG Composite Stocks

    I've got two of them. One bedded and one not. Both rifles shoot great, can't really tell a difference between them. In fact, I've taken the un-bedded rifle out of the stock many times and it always returned right to zero, so the fit must be really good. Hence, why it remains un-bedded. My CS...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    Put a jewell on mine that I had laying around. No noticeable CoC to me, very smooth.

    short barreled 6.5x47L

    I had a 6.5x47 with an 18" brux a few years back. Mostly shot 130 VLDs and got great accuracy with both H4350 and Varget right around 2675-2700. I tried RL-17 and got some great speeds, north of 2800, but accuracy wasn't quite there at those speeds. I did work up a great hunting load with...

    TBAC Suppressor Cleaning

    Also great luck with CLR with an earplug here. My ultra 7 had about 1300 rounds through it (mix of 6.5 CM and .280 AI). Weighed in at 10.22 oz. 48 hour soak, changing the liquid once after the first day. Back down to 9.7 oz and looks great inside. No problem with the earplug degrading...

    New Hunting Rifle Build

    I recently used one of Stocky's Euro stocks with the bedding block. It works well, accuracy is great in my sample. https://www.stockysstocks.com/stocks-by-brand/stocky-s/eurostockstm/remington-700-stocks/remington-700-sporter-stocks/stocky-sr-monte-carlo.html

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    Not sure about the Hawkins, but I've researched potential rings from Talley and I'm pretty sure these will work. https://www.talleymanufacturing.com/product/stiller-tactical-30-300-w-recoil-pin/ To be fair, I've not confirmed that with talley yet, but they are local to me so I'm just going to...

    Preferred barrel blanks (the company)

    I got my barrel a few weeks back, minimal range time so far, but it definitely looks to be a shooter. It appears to be just as accurate as any other custom barrel I've ever had. I would buy another, no doubts.

    Gunsmithing Headspace on a pre-fit question...

    Follow up: Took it to the range today and it shot great. Just at good as any other custom barrel I've had. I was able to bump the shoulder back 2 thousands on the fired brass with the die, no problem. Seems good to go.

    Gunsmithing Headspace on a pre-fit question...

    Yep, slipped them under the extractor. I checked it when "hand tight" to begin with and it would barely close on the GO. After torquing it would not close. Thanks for the replies fellas, think I will shoot it and see about the re-sizing process. Like ya'll said, worst case I grind a touch...

    Gunsmithing Headspace on a pre-fit question...

    I recently assembled a pre-fit on my Bighorn Origin in 6.5 CM. It threaded on smoothly no problems there, very little slop, torqued it to 75lbs. It will not close on the No Go. It will not close on the GO. It will close on a piece of virgin Lapua brass with no resistance. (The gauges...

    Hunting & Fishing Short, suppressed 6.5x47

    I previously had an 18" 6.5x47 with a 1-8" Brux. Got some surprisingly fast velocities. I had it set up to shoot the 130 VLD but it shot everything well. I'll post my loads below: 41.4 gr RL-17, 120 Ballistic tip, at 2860 great hunting load 41.2 gr H4350, 130 VLD at 2700 36.4 gr Varget, 130...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Buddy of mine made one from a 27-mm pipe clamp. He converted his CTR to run with the Lite mags in a B&C stock. Works just fine. All that "tab" does is apply forward pressure on the plastic mag so it will catch and not fall out.

    6.5 "Shorty" Rifle build

    Very nice. Threaded 5/8 or 9/16? Considering a Bart #3 on my next barrel, but wasn't sure about threading size for my Tbac.

    So's who's ready for some college Fball?

    Curious to see if my Tigers and lord Trevor can repeat. O should be fine, D will take a step back. Even Clemson has a hard time replacing 4 NFL players on the D line. I'd put my money on bama to take this year. Then we can win it again next year, lol.
