    New to bolt action rifles, need advice.

    I completely agree with COBRA that you needn't spend $300 on a rail and rings. Warne makes sintered steel rings and rail for under $160, and you can get QD mounts for which they guarantee .001" MOA POI accuracy when remounting your optics. The Vortex scopes have a lifetime, no-questions asked...

    My first bolt action, semi-custom, build.

    The inletting is almost done. It's free floated from the recoil lug all the way up to just about 3/8" from the end of the beaver tail. I'll finish it up the sanding tomorrow and then apply a quick clear coat to seal up the wood.

    Gunsmithing Muzzle brake removal for SR25

    If your brother has the $5,000 to buy the rifle, it seems he should have the $50-$100 to have a gunsmith remove the brake without damaging the rifle. However, if your insistent on doing it yourself you'll need the following: Appropriately sized armorers wrench, large vise (mounted) with...

    New build....advice wanted

    After countless hours of research, IMO I'd say that the Vortex will be a better scope especially with their no questions asked warranty. I'd encourage you to go with the 6-24 so that you can truly use it for long-range magnification. I'm thinking I should have spent the extra dollars and gone...

    Anyone have a Kel-Tec RFB?

    It's about 8 lbs before you add sights/scope etc. Mine is about 10 lbs now with the added items, though the balance is such that the weight is negligible. Besides, with a .308, the extra weight is great for keeping it in check. The PWS FSC-30 is a brilliant compensator and has all but...

    Remington 700 AAC SD build

    Check out www.proprecisionrifles.com or www.boltfluting.com. Paul is on here as BoltFluter, and commented above. I am kicking myself for not finding his services sooner. I shipped mine off to Super Tactical Services in Kentucky to have the bolt helical fluted and to have a tactical knob...

    My first bolt action, semi-custom, build.

    The new stock is cut for a sporter barrel contour. As anticipated, its going to need some in-letting. Time to break out a dowel with sandpaper... Or, I could have my gunsmith install a thicker recoil lug so as to rotate the barrel so that the tactical fluting rests over the wood. Nah, let...

    Remington 700 AAC SD build

    Looking good! Nice set-up. What kind of brake are you planning on using?

    New build....advice wanted

    Great call on going with the Sendero chassis. Out of the box accuracy is inherent, and you have a heck of great chassis to build from on that Sendero action and barrel. The .300WM is also a great choice. Especially now, as it seems .300WM is readily available at all my local stores. As you...

    My first bolt action, semi-custom, build.

    The Revolution "Apache" stock arrived today. Here are some close-up pictures of the stock and the aluminum bedding system. Overall, the finish looks amazing. I'll get the action installed tonight and follow-up with some more pictures and a review on the fit.

    My first bolt action, semi-custom, build.

    The new stock should be here tomorrow afternoon and I'll get some pictures up. Yesterday I picked up a Harris SLM bipod and fitted to the current stock. rubicon06on33s - I'll watch out for the scope rings. strike33 - I'm hopeful... I spoke with Brad today and he's thinking it'll take an...

    My first bolt action, semi-custom, build.

    I've replaced the M-308 mount, which sat too high, with a set of WARNE Low, steel, scope rings. These are very well built rings, which include recoil lugs, and are available at very reasonable costs. I went ahead and mounted, leveled and bore-sighted the scope. Here are a couple of...

    Suppressors What 22 Pistol cycles best with a can

    Ruger SR-22P works great with cans. However, it will not cycle the action with Remington subsonic or CCI quiet.

    My first bolt action, semi-custom, build.

    I hadn't discovered boltfluter until the day I shipped off the bolt to STS, which is a shame as I prefer their "Vortex" fluting. I guess I'll save them for my next build? Hopefully I'll have a more positive experience with STS than you did. My main concern was that I receive back my original...

    Anyone have a Kel-Tec RFB?

    Yes. I do. I like it a lot. Mine is a gen2 so it seems to run really well and hasnt given me any problems to date.

    Best all round .308 barrel length?

    One last thought: You could always go with a 24" and have it shortened in the future if you feel you need less weight and or length. You can't add to the length later. The military chose the 24 inch barrel as it provides the best overall performance for their intended use. My gunsmith seems to...

    Pic from a friend

    Beautiful rifle. That barrel is amazing. If only I had discovered boltfluting.com prior to sending my bolt of to STS for a basic spiral flute, and bolt handle job. I deffinately think that Vortex fluting would have looked great with my Reminton 700 LTR barrel. Oh well, I guess I will have to...
