    600 vs 1000 dillema

    What twist is in your 243? It should shine pretty well at 600-1000 yards running a 105 Berger, 107 SMK or 115 DTAC. If the recoil on the 243 is still to high for your liking dont over look a 223 with a 1:7 throated for 70-90 gr bullets. The br family is highly accurate and efficient but as...

    Light Recoil Bolt Rifle for the Wife

    243 is going to be tough to beat, especially with out doing some type of wildcat. If you want simple easy and the ability to get off the shelf ammo in case you lose handload then the 243 is what you want. If your no concerned about it and are willing to get past some of the issues with brass...

    Rebarreling my .30-06

    The factory ammo qualification is kind of restricting, 308 have the best selection of match grade ammo and is often ran on long actions, however a 280 would be a better long range round match grade ammo isn't as widely available. If you plan to hand load some time then get a 280 if not then get...

    ah remington why am I so suprised......

    Skipped alot of post so this is more than likely covered but... Ild first take it to a local gunsmith ( or a really good machinist if you know one you trust) ) or using a good lapping compound to wear it down while doing some dry fire practice. Either way dont sweat it, i mean while it is a 5r...

    Considering joining Marines to be USMC Sniper. Please Read

    I've skipped all the post so sorry if this is a repeated post but keep the 270 you'll want it to hunt with back (when you get the chance ) after the hours on the 308. Get in top physical shape..run, then run with a backpack full of sand/weights/something to make you cuss. Then learn land nav if...

    Those familiar with SAVAGE STEVENS

    I built a 243 off a Steven 200 (Small Shank) in 308 with 4.4 spacing. Had Fred from SSS do the action work, chamber a Douglas Heavy Varmint 1/8, time muzzle brake as well as add their competition trigger. The only difficult part was the wait with SSS and the trigger. The SSS trigger apparently...

    Build existing Savage 110 or Make Rem 700 purchase

    Re: Build existing Savage 110 or Make Rem 700 purchase I'ld rebarrel your savage to a 7-08, push they 162's at a longer COAL 2.850 when you want to shoot at a 1000 and load up some 120's for woodchucks. While I agree that Savages don't resell well, however if you keep it awhile once and have...

    Re: How many rounds through a 300wm before.... How many licks to the center of a Tootsie-pop? haha sorry man but this varies ALOT based on you. In terms of bbl life for magnums I use 1200 rds as a rule of thumb, that is for normal hunting/3 shot groups then let cool/not raping my bass and...

    Which Savage for long range shooting?

    Re: Which Savage for long range shooting? Model 12 FVSS has a 1:10 Twist barrel length is 26 inches and according to Savages website it is $895 so this should be a good one to start with. Also have you considered doing a Stevens 200 Build? Also look in the classifieds you may find a better...

    Another what should i build question, with a twist

    Re: Another what should i build question, with a twist imho .243,You already have the dies and for 500-600 yards it isn't giving up anything to any of the other 6mm. No fire forming or single source brass. Only real down side is that its not a new cool design and about everyone has a .243.

    Model 70 into tac driver

    Re: Model 70 into tac driver For a budget optic...Vortex PST 4-16 is what I run and am happy with it, however the tactical weaver would be a good choice as well both can be had in ffp which is nice. If you don't mind a fix power the SWFA fixed 10 aint a bad scope at all. All three of these...
