    Build a 223 rig. How would you do it?

    Re: Build a 223 rig. How would you do it? Go with a skunkworks action on the group buy. He'll chamber, cut, crown and thread a barrel for you for $200. Then just get a trigger, stock and bottom metal. That's what I'm doin'.

    Range Report Nosler Cust. Comp.

    Re: Nosler Cust. Comp. I use the 52 grain Noslers in my .22-250. They shoot great. I switched to them from the 50 grain V-Max which had been my "go to" round in that gun for 6 years

    Detachable mag options for .223 Rem

    I'm getting a barreled action for a .223 Rem. Had planned on getting a Manners stock with the MCS-DBM mini chassis that takes AI magazines. But near as I can figure, AI doesn't make magazines for .223 Rem. What are the bottom metal/magazine options for .223 Rem on a Remington 700 clone?

    6.5X47 Lapua barrel length

    Re: 6.5X47 Lapua barrel length My 6.5X47 has a 22" barrel. My go to load is a 123gr scenar ahead of 37.2gr of Re15. My chronograph says 2,798fps. In my experience, Re15 gives great velocities in that cartridge. I've tried 130gr Berger VLD's w/ 38gr of Ramshot's Big Game and got 2,626fps...

    Need an Affordable Bolt Gun... Please Help!

    Re: Need an Affordable Bolt Gun... Please Help! Accurcay-wise, it's probably a coin toss betwixt the Savage and Remington. And <span style="font-style: italic">maybe</span> the Remington 700 is a better action to "customize" in the future. But I'm a big fan of Savage's accutrigger. Haven't...

    Rifle Scopes Barska spotting scope.

    Re: Barska spotting scope. Don't know about trace, but I don't know any spotter that will reliably show .308 bullet holes in paper at 600 yards or further.

    Member Link Up Missouri shooters

    Re: Missouri shooters Got back from Big Piney a little while ago. This was the first tactical match I'd shot. Shot a couple of their F-class shoots last fall. Had a good time. As with my previous experiences there, a good group of guys. Since I was shooting a .22-250 Rem, it put me in...

    Can't find a LH vertical grip stock for Savage

    Re: Can't find a LH vertical grip stock for Savage Check out stockade stocks (www.stockadegunstocks.com). He makes fiberglass stocks for savage rifles. I got a left-hand prairie dog/tactical stock from him. The money-saver option will cost you around $200. It's simple enough to fill and...

    Powder Recommendation

    Re: Powder Recommendation For a long time my go to load in my .308 Win was a CCI 200 primer and 46.0 grains of varget behind a 150 grain Sierra Gameking. I shoot a 26" barrel. But the .308 is not a picky cartridge. Lots of powder will work well in it.

    Rifle Scopes Horus Vision scopes

    Re: Horus Vision scopes SIG383, while I've never used Horus scopes, others are right in that the question has been covered many times before. To summarize: if you really like the reticle, try and get it in a better scope. That said, there are some hiders who chime in that they have a horus...

    Rifle Scopes AR mount & proper eye relief

    Got a flat top AR last fall and ordered some low Burris Extreme Tactical rings for my 2.5-8X36mm scope. The objective bell wouldn't clear the handguard with the low rings, so I ordered mediums. Mounted the scope as far forward as I could, but still couldn't get a complete sight picture...

    Ruger Barrels

    Re: Ruger Barrels I only have experience w/ one ruger: a 2006 M77 Mark II laminate stainless chambered in .25-06 Rem. The laminated stock gives it some heft, but I kind of like it that way. If I do my part it will consistently put a few shots inside 1.5" at 100 yards. It's not my most...
