    Once optimal seating depth is found.....

    Does your fired brass close back into your chamber? How does your fired brass measure vs. the actual headspace of your chamber?

    For Those Shooting With A Front Bag Rest, Which One And How Snug?

    I’ve been walking that road for a long time, and I can’t even see the next exit sign ahead… That X bag can shoot small, but you’ll be stuck rocking in recoil, and resetting a lot. A rest or skipod and a solid rear bag will really help.

    For Those Shooting With A Front Bag Rest, Which One And How Snug?

    A mechanically elevated rest like the Rock JR you mentioned elsewhere. The Bald Eagle and Sinclair rests are fantastic for the money, with less lash than the Caldwells, and greatly improved windage control. The Rock JR you had was about as basic as a machine rest can get, and the bag that comes...

    For Those Shooting With A Front Bag Rest, Which One And How Snug?

    No. I've communicated with the OP via PM and another forum. He's having issues with losing his target in recoil, so the rifle isn't tracking on target the way it should. Largely, I'm not certain it what he's wanting can be delivered from any kind of X-bag. For the weight and size, upgrading to...

    For Those Shooting With A Front Bag Rest, Which One And How Snug?

    For reference, by “front bag,” the OP is referring to this: Not a forend rest bag on a machine rest.

    Bipod recommendations

    Harris bipods do well in PRS, most of the top 20 shooters any given year use Harris bipods. Atlas are great, but really don’t do anything the Harris doesn’t - and pan ends up being more of a pain than a pleasure. An ideal kit for PRS competition coast to coast would be a Harris BRMS plus a...

    Seekins Havak Action Question

    Cerakote Elite is pretty commonly used inside actions - it's a slick and hard coating, if it's done well. I should have thought of that - you said it was built from a bare action, which means it would be from the later production of the original PH1's - these weren't available as a bare...

    Defiance actions.

    Ryan Cheney's Light Class rifle is a 33XC built on a Defiance single shot action. I might not want a repeater action for the task, and I wouldn't open the bolt face larger to try to play with a Cheytac bolt face, but Ryan has been working that Defiance out in 33XC for a long time, with well...

    Seekins Havak Action Question

    No. It's how they get away with using the same design for all of their actions, even the Aluminum bodied Slam and Element. The bolt lugs are locked into steel, not aluminum. So they get a light weight action but with the proofing strength of steel. Bat Machine is using a similar design in their...

    Seekins Havak Action Question

    No, the breech block is their steel insert in the front of the action into which the bolt lugs lock. You can see in my photo of my original action above, there is the action, the bolt, and the breech block. Think of the Havak design much like an AR-15, such the action doesn’t necessarily have to...

    Seekins Havak Action Question

    Glen came out with a new bolt design which converts the action to cock-on-open like other actions on the market, and upgrades to tool-less bolt takedown. They offer a free replacement for the original models with the cock-on-close action.

    Seekins Havak Action Question

    If you can find one of the original PH1's with the McMillan stocks, I highly recommend them as a lightweight, precision hunting rifle.

    Seekins Havak Action Question

    @Baron23 - Seekins is getting a chance to rectify the issue. There was nothing wrong with my original PH1 action, except that it was cock-on-close. I sent it in for the free bolt retrofit and they called to offer to replace the action, simply because it was going to need a new locator pin...

    Anybody Shooting Handguns ELR?

    He really, REALLY isn’t. An unassigned receiver 1) can be built first as a pistol, and then 2) forever onward be built back and forth between pistol and rifle configurations. So absolutely, if an AR lower - the receiver - or any undesignated receiver, such as an M7 or R700 or clone, or Savage...

    Range finder to replace Kilo2000

    Another Sig, might look into a 5k, I upgraded my 2200 to a 5k, very happy with it. Or you might check the Vortex, they’re also solid.

    Maybe the dude faked the video, I don't know. But the math is what it is.

    Anybody Shooting Handguns ELR?

    It’s just an unintuitive parlor trick - it works because it’s a big bullet with a (relatively) high BC, but it’s not how most folks expect it should work, so it seems outlandish. He pushes a little extra speed by seating long, but at the end of the day, he’s doing stuff more akin to BPCR...

    Anybody Shooting Handguns ELR?

    You’re out of your depth here. It’s common knowledge that any receiver, such as an AR lower, which has never been stocked and chambered can be legally assembled as a pistol or a rifle.

    Custom MC Actions vs Traditional Custom Actions

    You jumped your Zeus?

    Custom MC Actions vs Traditional Custom Actions

    The Terminus Zeus really isn’t in the same category as the MRAD QC MC actions. It just uses a shouldered barrel, just like any Impact, DM Ruckus/Tenacity, Seekins Havak/Hit, Bat, ARC, etc… with the only difference being the small set screw on the side of the action. The WTO lugs, Seekins Havak...
